Hanna raised her head from my center and gave me a michevious look, knowing she had got me good. She giggled a little seeing me totally helpless to her, and cralwed up my body, pressing her knee where her mouth just was, making me all but scream. This only made her laugh more. Her hair was hanging over her left shoulder and she was biting her lip; her perfect body grazing mine in all the right places, she had really gotten the hang of this whole new type of sex quick. I was so in love with her, i mean there arent even words. And once a person experiences this type of love they really get life.

I looked over at the clock, and it read 8:02pm. We had been home from dinner for almost two hours, and god only knows what sort of rumors were already flying. Hanna and i had only been romantic for a day and a half and it seemed as though it had been an eternity. I didnt ever want to leave that couch, that house, her arms, but i knew i had to. The rumors would get worse if i never showed up again, and we had school in the morning. I could tell she was thinking the same thing, but her puppy dog eyes were begging me to stay.

I was still calming down, and i twirled a peice of her hair absently.

"We have to talk about this at some point." I said still staring at her hair. I knew she had been avoiding talking about the scene at dinner.

"What do you want me to say?"

"No what do you want ME to say? Like tomorrow at school? Im sure people will ask me what was up with you, and you know people are talking Han. We can do one of two things." She raised an eyebrow telling me to continue. I sighed. "We can tell people we were at dinner and they got the wrong idea, and when paige started acting like a barbarian you out her in her place..."

"Or?"

I sighed knowing she wouldnt like this next one, and thanks to A she was forced to either lie or be tormented, "...or we can just tell the truth." I looked away, not wanting to see dissappoimtment in her eyes.

She blew out her cheeks and laid her head on my bare chest. I ran my fingers through her hair, trying to soothe her. "Its up to you. I dont care..." But she knew i was lying.

-hannas pov-

I knew what i had to do, but i didnt know if i could.

If we lied, A would surely find a way to out us. And the only way to prevent being outed if we lied was by stopping us altogether, which is NOT an option. But once A found another way to out us, everyone, Aria and Spence, they wouldnt trust us. Theyd think we were lying dykes, which also isnt an option.

On the other hand if we told the truth i would be singlehandedly be opening myself up to the ridicule Emily endured. Like i had said before, i wasnt gay. I was just very in love with Emily. So say we didnt work out after a while, forget having a boyfriend ever again, all theyd want is some girl on girl action, not love.

But if we told the truth i could be happy with the person i was in love with.

Thats how i knew what i had to do.

"I dont wanna lie Em. Fuck them right?" I tested these waters gently, but the look on her face told me she was obviously expecting the other option.

"What? Really!? Wow!" She was so thrilled with me i could barely get her to calm down. This made the decision easier. I knew she would always be there for me, and defend me, especially if this was the choice she wanted.

"Pick me up for school tomorrow! We can roll up together, what can they really do to us?!" I was excited then too.

"Yes!" She squealed and passionately pulled me in for a kiss. After a while of planning on defying everyone we were quiet and she spoke up.

"I have to go baby." I put on my best pout face and held her arm as she tried to get up and leave, so she leaned in and kissed me again to satisfy me. I watched her from the couch as she put all of those clothes back on, and turned to face me wrapped up in a blanket begging her with looks not to leave.

"I have to Han. My moms gonna be worried, i havent even called." And with that she looked down at her phone. "Shit."

"What?" I sat up, holding the blanket to my chest, concerned it was another A attack.

She handed me her phone which displayed several missed calls from both Aria and Spencer.

"Shit." I confirmed.

She looked up at me, because she didnt know what to do. It was all up to me from here; who we tell, what we say to them. The thing was...i didnt know what to do any more than she did.

"Well...?" She asked.

"Text Spencer. We have to tell them. Tonight." She seemed hesitant but she nodded her head and texted her. I got dressed and we waited for a reply whil Em called her mom to tell her she wasnt dead in a ditch. 'What am I gonna do?' Was the only thought going through my mind for the ten minutes we were in my living room that seemed like hours.

Spence replied and told us to get over there NOW that Aria was on her way too. I looked at Emily and she must have known that i was dying on the inside because she grabbed my hand and said: "Ive been where you are. The worst part is not being confident. Itll all work out." She promised and planted a kiss on my cheek. With that we headed out the door, my future about to change drastically.

"No Aria now! I told them you were on your way so theyd get here quick. Tell Fitz goodbye and get here. Im not waiting on you!" I hung up before she could argue me. I had met with Andrew earlier to get a few more pills, and he had asked me what had gone on with Hanna and Paige, to which i obviously did not know the answer. Upon questioning he explained that a girl on the acedemic team he was talking to had seen Hanna beat the hell out of Paige at Red Lobster that night. Of course i was shocked so i pressed for futher intel, and he said all he knew what that it had looked like Hanna and Em were about to make out in the middle of the place when Travis and Piage came over and made a scene, and when Paige attacked Emily, Hannah just hopped on her.

I had called Aria immeadiately after thatto tell her of this breaking news, and then sat on the couch, trying desperately to figure out the whole scene.

'Hanna and Emily!? Why hadnt they told us?' I kept playing the situation over and over tryint to find the key to it all. Thats when it hit me: 'Travis AND Paige were there. What are the odds?' A was the odds. 'This was just a bug misunderstanding' i told myself.

My kitchen door rattled open and i looked up from my thoughts on the couch to Aria coming in looking frazzled. "Are they here yet? I cant believe they didnt tell us!" Her eyes had grown three sizes as she seemed to get more and more worked up, "do you think it was Emily!? Oh gosh.." She looked down and seemed absolutely appalled at the idea that had gone through her head that Emily was somehow forcing this on Hanna. "Why would she hit Paige like that? Not that i care if Paige is hurt, its just not like Hannah. Do you...oh gosh do you think Hannahs on drugs or something!" I looked away, Hanna wasnt the one on drugs. But i couldnt tell Aria that.

"Calm down Aria. I dont think it was Emilys fault..." Trying to pull her out of her hysteria.

"What DO you think then Spencer?" She came and sat on the couch beside me trying to make my eyes meet hers. I looked up and with all certantity i said: "A has to be behind this whole ordeal. And i dont think we should jumo to any more conclusions until they get here to at least defend themselves."

She shook her head, and in the front room i heard Hannas sweet vioce calling for us. I took a deep breath, looked at Aria, and nodded. I called for them, my curiosity spiking with every passing second.
