A/N: So sorry for the late update! I have been so busy, and I meant to update last night, but I had to go sing at a football game, and I didn't even stay the whole time, like I left and went out to eat with my family and then when I got home I was so tired that I just crashed and literally fell asleep at 10:30 which like never happens.

PLEASE enjoy, favorite, follow and REVIEW!

"Em! Come on, get up," Hanna's voice echoed as my eyes fluttered open.

"What?" I groaned.

"It's like one in the morning," Hanna answered, rolling her eyes. "My roommate is going to be back soon. Aria's already back up at your dorm." I pulled myself up and looked around, my eyes falling on my girlfriend, who was still asleep next to me. "I figured you'd better wake her up. I'm going to run to the bathroom."

Hanna left the room, and I exhaled sleepily, looking down at Ali and running my fingers through her hair. "Ali," I cooed softly, "babe."

"Mm," Ali hummed, curling closer to where I was sitting.

"C'mon, we have to get you to bed before Hanna's roommate gets back and freaks," I whispered.

"Why would she freak?" Ali asked as her eyes forced themselves open and met my gaze.

"Because Alison DiLaurentis is laying half asleep on her floor," I answered. Ali's forehead creased slightly, and I frowned a little. "I'm just kidding, babe. She'll freak because she hates it when Hanna does anything. Come on."

Ali groaned as she sat up completely, and I stood, pulling her up with me. "Where's Aria? Where's Hanna?" Ali wondered.

"Already upstairs, and Hanna's in the bathroom," I answered, shrugging. We both left Hanna's dorm and headed for the elevator. "Do you want me to come downstairs with you?"

"Yes," Ali answered, grabbing my hand and holding it tightly as she clicked the button for the third floor with her free hand. "Were you awake the whole time?"

"No, Hanna woke me up a few minutes ago," I answered. The elevator doors slid open on the third floor and we started toward Ali's dorm. She opened it up, and I was surprised to see that Spencer wasn't inside. "Where's Spence?"

"I don't know," Alison answered, sounding as though she didn't really care. If she were completely awake, she might've been concerned. She collapsed unceremoniously on her bed, and I decided there wasn't a point in flipping on the light at this point. "Ugh, what time is it?"

"I think Hanna said it's like one in the morning," I answered, sitting down on the edge of Ali's bed and looking down at her. Even with her makeup smudged and a half asleep look on her face, she was more beautiful than I could ever hope to be. "I should probably go upstairs now."

"Probably," Ali agreed, but when I started to get up, she grabbed my hand, "but don't."

"Ali," I protested, but she just gave me a hopeful look. "I can't stay here all night."

"Why not?" Ali asked, raising a perfectly sculpted eyebrow. "We'll just sleep. I mean, we've already had a pretty eventful day. Don't make me end it all alone."

Now she was pouting at me, and it was probably one of the cutest things that I had ever seen. "Your bed is tiny."

"We can squeeze," she told me, winking playfully at me. She was definitely more awake now. "Come on, Aria won't miss you for one night. She's probably already asleep anyway."

I lifted an eyebrow and looked down at her, and she just stared straight back at me. I finally huffed, "Fine." It came out sounding a little angry, but she knew that I wasn't mad. She grinned at me and pulled me down next to her, causing me to laugh a little. "Shouldn't we at least put on some pajamas?"

"Mm, too lazy," she muttered, being incredibly cute as she buried her face into my neck. "Plus, you're comfy enough."

I found myself laughing a little. "I can't believe I ever found you intimidating. You're so cute."

I knew that Ali was blushing, because she pressed her face into my neck and mumbled, "No, I'm not."

"Yes you are," I argued. She pulled away from me and wiggled her eyebrows.

"I can be more intimidating if you'd like?" she said suggestively, and I raised an eyebrow at her.

"You said we would just sleep," I reminded her, and she crinkled her nose playfully as she cuddled close to me again.

"Goodnight, Em…" Alison paused, and my breath caught in my throat when she spoke again. "I love you."

I exhaled softly and pulled her impossibly closer to me. "Goodnight, Ali. I love you, too."

AAA

My phone rang out annoyingly from my pocket, where it had been shoved since the previous night, and I groaned as I rolled over a little.

Then, I found myself crashing onto the floor. "Ugh," I groaned, opening my eyes. Right, I'd been squeezed onto my tiny bed with Emily. Not that I would've complained at all if I hadn't fallen onto my ass.

I grabbed my phone and answered it without looking at the caller ID.

"Hello?"

"Hello, Alison," came the overly sweet sounding voice of Mona Vanderwaal. I immediately clenched my teeth as I pulled myself up off of the floor.

"To what do I owe this pleasure?" I growled out.

"Well, I wanted to remind you that there's a party tonight at Noel's family's cabin," Mona stated, as though I should be considerably concerned about this party. "And I'm sure you wouldn't want to miss it."

My eyes narrowed instinctively as I squeezed my phone in my grasp. "Oh really?"

"Yes, really," Mona answered. "You're hanging by a thread, Ali."

"Don't call me Ali," I snapped angrily, and then I took a deep breath to calm myself. "If I'm hanging by just thread, why not just cut it? Why do you want me at this party, Mona?"

"Good point. But, the invitation still stands. And oh, don't forget, if you do come, you have to bring a date," Mona stated, and I could practically see her smug little face.

Now I understood. This was a ploy to get me out and surrounded by a ton of Hollis students with Emily. Well, I wasn't going to give Mona the satisfaction. But the bitch wasn't finished.

"Oh, and I really hope that you can come. Because, I sort of told like… everyone that you were going," Mona added. "Adieu!"

The line ended, leaving me in a state of horror. Mona had done the one thing that she knew would ruin me. She had basically announced my RSVP to a party that I didn't want to go to, so that if I didn't go, everyone would start to get suspicious. But it was a party that required a date, and Mona was sure that if I went with Emily, everyone would judge me and I would fall from the top of the social pyramid at Hollis.

I couldn't not go, not when Mona had told everyone that I was going. No, I had to go.

I glanced at my beautiful, sleeping girlfriend. If Mona wanted me to take Emily to Noel's party, she would have her way. But I wasn't going to hide it at all. No, I wasn't a lesbian. But I was dating a girl, and I was completely proud of it. Plus, after the previous night, when Emily had confessed that she loved me, I was determined to prove my worth to her. Sure, she'd already said that I deserved her, but I had to prove it to myself.

Of course, I wasn't going to the party with Emily if she didn't want to go. Maybe I was a little bit whipped, but I had every right to be.

Suddenly, the door to the dorm opened, and Spencer walked in. I immediately raised an eyebrow at her. "Where have you been?" I was talking quietly, because Emily was still asleep.

"I texted you, but you were too busy with Emily to notice," Spencer teased, rolling her eyes.

"Shh," I hushed her, glancing behind me at where Emily was asleep. Spencer raised her eyebrows at me, but I just shook my head. "What did the text say?"

Spencer's face now flushed red. "Well… I had a date with this guy last night and well… we went back to his place."

"On the first date?" I demanded.

"It was the second," Spencer said defensively.

My eyes widened. "Spence! Why didn't you tell me?"

Spencer shrugged. "I don't know. But yeah, that's all it was." My eyes narrowed now.

"Who is he?" I demanded. "I need to run a background check."

Spencer rolled her eyes as she tossed her purse onto her bed. "Toby Cavanaugh."

The name didn't ring a bell, but I made a mental note of it so that I could research him later. I really was protective over Spencer. I didn't want some loser hurting her.

"Are you going to tell me why Emily's here now? She does live two floors up," Spencer reminded me, as if I needed reminding. I rolled my eyes immediately at her.

"She just slept over," I stated defensively.

"Why?" Spencer asked, smirking at me. I gave her a glare.

"Because," I answered without giving a real answer. I heard Emily making a humming noise as she woke up, and I immediately forgot about Spencer as I turned around and sat on the edge of my bed, looking at Emily.

"Ali?" Emily mumbled.

"Mmhmm," I hummed out, brushing some hair out of her eyes. "Good morning, beautiful."

I heard Spencer snicker behind me, and I shot her a death glare. Then I looked back at Emily who was now smiling up at me. She slowly sat up and looked over at Spencer. "Hey, Spence."

"Hey, Em," Spencer returned, chuckling. "Sleep well?"

"I did," Emily answered, laughing a little.

"So did I," I piped up, "but I woke up and fell out of the bed onto my ass." Spencer instantly busted out into laughter and I crossed my arms. "It wasn't funny."

"It's a little funny," Emily argued, and I did my best to glare at her. Once it dissipated, which was almost instantly, I sighed.

"Hey, you doing anything today?" I asked, feeling my stomach twist up inside of me.

"Only if you have something for me to do with you today," Emily answered with a smile. I held my breath for a second, and she noticed me hesitating. Tilting her head slightly, she asked, "What's up?"

"Mona called me a few minutes ago," I answered, and I saw Emily's jaw clench. It wasn't often that she looked angry. "She told everyone that I'm going to Noel's party at his cabin tonight, but I never even knew about it. Anyway, if I don't go, it's basically the end of my social standing. If I do go, I have to bring a date."

Emily didn't seem to understand what I was saying, and bit my lip.

"So, do you want to go with me? If not, I'll accept my social suicide with open arms, but…" I tried not to sigh at the thought. I loved Emily, and I would pick her over my reputation in a heartbeat at this point in my life, but it still made me a little depressed to think of losing everything that I'd worked for.

"You want me to go with you?" Emily asked, sounding surprised. I tried not to let it bother me that she was surprised.

"Well, I don't want anyone else to go with me," I said, giving her a small smile. "Mona thinks that I'm going to chicken out of going because I'm afraid of people to know that I'm dating you. But I'm not afraid of people knowing that, so why shouldn't we go? We can show up that little bitch. Unless, of course, you don't want to go."

Spencer made a whipping noise from behind me, and I flashed her a glare before looking back to Em. "Sure, we can go."

I breathed out a sigh of relief. "Spence, you can come, too."

"Don't have a date," Spencer said with a shrug. I gave her a curious look. Hadn't she just slept over at some guy's house?

"What about Toby?" I asked her.

"He's busy today," Spencer answered.

"Take Aria," Emily suggested, and I snorted. Spencer rolled her eyes. "No, I'm serious. Ali might know a lot of people there, but I'm not going to know anyone besides her. You should both go."

"Hanna should come, too," I piped up, because really, I agreed with Emily. Also, if I showed up with my hot girlfriend and my real friends, what would that say to Mona? It would say "I'm proud to be the person I am now, and you can suck it, bitch". "I can get Caleb to take her."

"Perfect!" Emily said, smiling widely.

"Fine," Spencer agreed. "But I am not calling to her 'ask her out'."

Emily laughed. "I'll tell her when I get upstairs. And I'll call Hanna, too. She'll be thrilled at least."

"Are you going upstairs right now?" I asked her, and Emily shrugged.

"I can stay down here a little longer if you want me to," Emily answered, smiling a small smile. My gaze locked with hers, but before I could even kiss her, Spencer interrupted us.

"Stop eye-sexing each other," she demanded. I immediately shot my best friend a glare, and then I gave Emily an apologetic look.

"I'll see you later," I told her. She leaned forward to steal a kiss from me, and then she got up to go. I watched her walk out and let out a content sigh.

"What's got you in such a blissful mood? I mean, more specific than Emily?" Spencer asked.

I felt a blush rising to my cheeks, and I knew that as soon as Spencer saw it, I had to tell her. She gave me a pointed look. "Em told me that she loves me last night. And I told her that I love her back."

"Aww!" Spencer cooed, and I bit my lower lip.

"Whatever," I muttered, unable to keep a smile off of my face. "I'm going to go shower. I'll be back later."
