Chapter 29
Pretty Little Lovers Untamed
Chapter 29
Spencer woke up second and found that Emily had left, but Aria and Hanna were still very much asleep. Aria was so asleep that moving out of her arms didn't even begin to wake her. Spencer found herself smiling at the sleeping brunette regardless of the situation, but in the back of her mind she knew what she had to do. Honestly it was all up Aria, and Spencer knew that remaining at Hanna's house any longer would just make the situation harder on the girl. And so she rounded up her belongings, told Hanna's mother goodbye and then left. She was well aware that going home to just sit around and wait would probably kill her, but there was nothing else to do, and so she just accepted it.
It was another hour before either of the other two girls stirred.
When Aria opened her eyes, she felt the sourness of morning sink back into her. Another day, another decision, she thought bitterly and sat up, rubbing her eyes. Hanna was sitting alone on the pallet in the floor. Both Emily and Spencer were gone and Hanna looked about as miserable as Aria felt.
"What's up Han? Did you not sleep well?"
The blonde groaned. "That's an understatement. I slept terribly. I am in such a bad mood, oh my God."
Aria lifted her eyebrows. Hanna apparently didn't just look as miserable as Aria felt- she was as miserable as Hanna felt. "Well," the brunette replied, "Any particular reason why you're so grumpy?"
"Any particular reason why you're so grumpy?" Hanna responded quickly.
Aria Montgomery wasn't really one to discuss her problems, even to Hanna, Spencer and Emily. Sometimes she's gave a few hints and let them in a little, but she hardly ever completely revealed one of her problems. But her current issue was literally eating her up inside and driving her wild, so she decided, spur of the moment, why not share with Hanna? Maybe it would help. "Don't judge, okay?" Aria prefaced her explanation, "But I have to make a really big decision and it's got me stressed out, barely sleeping and totally grumpy. And I'm sorry about that."
Hanna regarded her friend with curiosity. First off, she was totally interested in finding out what Aria's big secret was. But on top of that, she found it eerie that at the same time, Hanna herself had to make a very big decision as well. She sighed. "I understand. It's probably weird, but I'm actually going through the same thing." She stretched her arms over her head in an effort to wake herself up the rest of the way. "We could maybe tell each other what the decisions are and then offer advice?" She knew how Hanna being with Emily would sound to Aria, but she couldn't help it. She was stressed out to the max, especially realizing that even if she did decide that she'd give Em her all, Em might not want that.
"I don't know," Aria frowned, "it'll freak you out. I know it will."
Hanna laughed. Was Aria really worried about freaking Hanna out? When Hanna was worried about freaking Aria out? She shook her head. "You're not going to freak me out. I promise. Tell me."
Aria nodded surly. "I guess it doesn't matter even if I do. It'll come out sooner or later. It's about me and Spence. We're… Involved."
Hanna's eyes shot open. "Ohmygod," she replied. Was Aria admitting that she was a lesbian right before Hanna was about to do the same thing? "You and Spencer?"
"Yes. Me and Spencer. But Ezra showed up and he kind of told me he still loves me and I have to choose. Between being with him. And being with her."
"Oh."
Aria sighed. "I knew you were going to freak out," she said sadly and hung her head.
Hanna got up and joined her best friend on the bed. "No, no. I'm not freaking out. Well I am but not about that. It's just.. My decision is between Em and Caleb."
Instantly the brunette's eyes shot back up. "What? You and Em? Really?" She didn't know why she was surprised really considering the two were basically together already without the romance. And since Emily was the only one who had actually came to the realization that she'd been a lesbian before boffing her best friend. "Well life's weird, isn't it? We're both over here trying to choose between being with our best friend or our boyfriend."
"Yeah."
"And I honestly haven't decided yet, even though I feel like if I don't choose Spencer it will completely ruin my friendship with her."
Hanna sighed again. "Yeah. Same here."
"So what do we do Han? Who do we pick?"
