Chapter 29: Waiting for the end/it's alright

Aria's POV

While we watched the movie I picked out, Hanna and Spencer fell asleep. I was alone with Emily in the kitchen.

"How are you holding up?" I asked as I sat on the counter.

"I'm fine" She answered as she turned around to look at me.

She was looking in the fridge for something to drink. I look at her with a knowing look.

"I swear I am." She answered.

"I don't believe you"

"Why not?"

"Why would you be okay with everything that is happening?"

"Why wouldn't I be?"

"A threatened to hurt you..." I answered.

"I don't care as long as I'm with Spencer."

"You don't take it seriously, do you?" I asked her confused.

"Maybe... I don't know... For now I'm just glad that Spencer still decided to stay with me... I don't know if A will really do something but I'm sure everything's going to be okay in the end."

"If you say so... But please Em, be careful..." I said.

"I know... I know... Anyway I'm never alone for now so what could possibly happen to me." She asked me.

"You're right; I'm just paranoid I guess. It's just that... Never mind..." I stated confused.

"You can talk to me Aria; I'll always be there for you."

"I know... You're going to think that I'm crazy..."

"I won't, I swear."

"Okay... I just know something is going to happen... It's like, I can feel it... I know, it's impossible... It's just that..." I rambled.

"Aria, stop. It's not impossible."

"You don't think so?" I asked surprised.

"No, I don't, I can't think it's impossible. I feel like I'm going to be okay. I feel like Spencer and I are going to be okay." She stated.

"It's so confusing..."

"I know"

...

"Aria c'mon! Wake up!" Hanna screamed near my head.

I jumped as I opened my eyes. I looked around to see where I was and I saw that I was asleep on the Hastings counter. I sat up and looked at Hanna.

"That was kinda rude." I said with a sleepy voice.

"I know but we tried to wake you up for a while now." Hanna said apologetically.

"What time is it?" I asked confused.

"3 in the afternoon and Spencer's parents are gonna be back in like an hour..." Hanna said. "What are you doing sleeping there anyway?" Hanna asked me.

"Where's Emily?" I asked worried.

"Relax... She's in the shower."

"Okay" I said.

"Can you answer the question now?"

"I'm not sure but I must have fallen asleep while talking to Emily last night. When you and Spencer fell asleep Em and I came back here." I explained.

"Okay... I still don't understand how you could've fallen asleep on a counter." Hanna said with a smirk.

"I was tired I guess, it was around 10 am the last time I looked at the clock..." I said truthfully.

"Wow... You guys talked for a while."

"Yeah, we did."

"Hey guys" Spencer said as she and Emily entered the kitchen.

"So sleeping beauty is finally awake." Emily said with a smirk.

"Not funny" I said rubbing my eyes.

"A little" She said.

"I'm confused though on what happened last night."

"We talked until around 10 am I think, then we fell asleep, you on the counter and me on the floor, which I'm paying for now. I woke up around 1 pm and went upstairs, Spencer was awake and Hanna was still sleeping. I talked a little with Spencer in the living room then I took a shower and Hanna waked you up." Emily explained.

"Oh, okay." I said as I got off of the counter.

Hanna looked at Emily and Spencer with a confused look.

"What now, Hanna?" Spencer asked annoyed.

"She's wondering why your hair is wet too..." I said with a knowing look.

"How do you know?" Hanna said as she turned back to me. "Anyway, not important, answer the question Spence."

"You don't wanna know." Spencer answered and Emily blushed.

"Hanna shut up! I wanna leave the room before you speak again." I said as I rush out of the room.

I walked upstairs to Spencer's room. I got dressed and went back downstairs.

"Okay, you're really not funny." I heard Hanna said as I walked into the kitchen again.

"Did I miss something important?" I asked as I sat at the table next to Emily.

Hanna and Spencer were next to the counter arguing.

"No, not really, they are just arguing like always." Emily said.

We sat back and enjoyed the show.

"Hanna, let it go already." Spencer sighed.

"No. Why don't you just answer to the damn question?" Hanna asked.

"First of all, because it is none of your business, second of all, because it's a stupid question and last because I don't know." Spencer said.

"Do you really don't know or you don't want to answer because you haven't done it a lot?" Hanna asked.

"What are they talking about?" I whispered in Emily's ear.

"You're going to find out soon." She whispered back.

"I really don't know Hanna." Spencer sighed again. "How about you?"

Hanna was about to answer.

"Never mind, I don't really want to know..." Spencer said.

"Fine, if you want to avoid the question, how many people then?" Hanna asked.

"God Hanna, why do we need to talk about that right now?" Spencer said as she turned back to Emily.

Emily looked back at Spencer with a confused look.

"I think you're better to answer." Hanna said as she sat at the table in front of me.

"Thanks Hanna." Spencer said as she sighed and sat in front of Emily.

"You don't have to Spence, it doesn't matter." Emily said as she looked down.

"1" Spencer said as she kept her eyes on Emily.

Emily looked up with a smile of relief.

"I was afraid it was more than that since you didn't want to answer in front of me." Emily said as she took Spencer's hand.

"I just didn't want to talk about that in front of you because you're the only one that matter and because I wanna be your first and I want it to be special and I don't want you to think about the other person I've been with because even though you weren't my first, I want you to be my last. That's all that matter to me." Spencer answered truthfully.

"Wait, you really didn't do it yet?" Hanna asked surprised.

"You seem surprised?" Emily said.

"Never mind" Hanna said.

"I think I should go" I said as I got up.

"Yeah, me too." Hanna said as she got up as well.

Hanna and I gathered our things and climbed back in my car.

"You don't think you're a little bit too curious sometime?" I asked her.

"I'm not always like that. I just like to mess around with Spence" Hanna told.

A little while after, I let her in front of her house. As I was starting to speed up again, a car hit the driver side of my car and everything went black.
