The day went on, and Emily stayed at Hannas house because she couldnt bring herself to leave. Neither of them minded though. They didnt have to talk, they could hold hands under the covers or lay on each others lap and speak all the same.
Both of the girls cancelled their dates for the evening being very vague as to why even though travis and paige were begging for answers, and instead spent all of their sunday together. They went to the brew for lunch and coffee and then to the mall where Hanna modeled every outfit that was there, Emily laughing and drooling over each one. With the day beginng to close, they decided to catch dinner at the seafood place in town.
"This was amazing," hanna said and grinned, "ive never felt more perfect with someone else before you know? Like im supposed to be...with you i guess." She was blushing.
"I know what you mean." Emily replied explaining how forced every relationship was after maya...after ali.
Neither girl was expecting anything to ruin the day that had gone on so perfectly, until their phomes beeped at the same time. A look of horror crossed their faces, realizing this never happened unless it was A.
"Shit." They both said.
Emily pulled out her phone and opened the text that was, of course, from A.
When the attachment finally loaded neither girl knew what to say, but simply looked at one another in shock, and fear.

I was finally happy with a girl. Someome who loved me back in a way only maya had shown me. Someone who knew me better than i knew myself, someone who i wanted to be with desprately. Was that desperation ever considered to this terrorist? That sometimes things happen that will never happen again, and that every moment lost is a moment wasted?
'Of course you cant just be happy' i thought to myself 'that would be too easy' the image on my screen still sent nails through my stomache when i looked at it, because in my heart i knew this would either make or break Hanna and I, and i was afraid because i wasnt positive which it would be.
Hannah was straddling me while i was taking her shirt off. Her hand was on my chest and our lips were passionately locking. The photo was taken from my window and neither one of us had noticed. The scarything about A, though, is that they dont delete the picture if you ask, they use it against you. They dont just threaten to, A really tries tp ruin our lives with all the dirt collected on us.
That being said, the words captioned below us is what really took our breath: 'someone had to tell them. Kisses!' Without any other explanation needed we knew what A meant. Travis, Paige, maybe even Aria and Spence. Hanna and I wanted to be together, but she wasnt ready for that sort of heat, and i understood exactaly why, and we agreed to wait until the A and Ali mess got sorted out to really be a public item. But i had a feeling A had much swifter plans.
"No. No no no no no." Hanna was freaking out now. She knew what this meant as well as I did. And that even if we stopped seeing each other now, we cant undo the past, and with proof like that who would believe anything othert than a scandalous story told to them?
"Hanna, baby shhhhh...shhhh" her face was in my hands and our eyes locked, hers filling with tears.
"I cant handle this if it goes public Em. I cant do it. Im not gay..." She was stammering and ranting, "im Hanna. And youre Emily. And im not gay. I just love emily. I love another person. But who will believe that? No one will listen."
"Fuck them! Were us. Who cares if people dont approve? People are always gonna find something to talk about, and i dont give two shits what they think of me...of us..." I tried to re assure her, and it probably would have worked if the door hadnt opened.
