Chapter 4

It was a weekend when the girls decided to hang out at Spencer's place and watch movies like they always do. They invited Emily to join them, she couldn't believe that the most popular people in school wanted to hang out with her. She was even more surprised when Allison was the one who invited her since they've talked for like a second and then suddenly they became BFF's.

Allison has her own hidden agendas on everybody except for Emily. Emily has this unique character that makes her so interesting to Allison. On the other hand, Spencer is a bit jealous because she wanted to invite Emily but Allison came first. So when Emily came to Spencer's house, she is the first one to arrive. When she knocked on the door, a tall, brunette, same eyes as Spencer's and has short hair welcome her to the house.

"You must be Emily! I'm Melissa, Spencer's older sister. Come in!"

"Thank you Ms. Hastings."

"You don't have to call me Ms. Hastings dear, you can call me Melissa" as she is holding the door for Emily.

"I'm not comfortable with it"

"Well, be comfortable!"

Spencer came down to the stairs wearing a white see - through long sleeves with black skinny jeans to show off her long legs for Emily.

"Well you're an early bird!"

"I don't have anything else to do at home so…"

"Why? Does your mother bore you that much?"

"No, my mom has the night shift and she's probably coming home tomorrow so I'm home alone."

"You could stay here at my house if you want." Spencer said with a shaky voice because she can't believe that she asked that to Emily.

"I think I'll pass…"

"Why not?" Spencer's voice began to sink with sadness as she heard that come out from Emily's mouth.

"Because… it's… you know…"

"It's what?"

"AWKWARD."

"Why will it be awkward?"

"Never mind what I said." Then they heard the door knocking.

"Well I guess it's them."

Emily's face was still down on the floor trying to ignore eye contact from Spencer. She knew that it is an opportunity to spend some time with Spencer alone since Allison was all over her the whole week trying to separate her and Spencer.

"Hey cutie!" Allison marched to Emily and hugged so tightly like a teddy bear.

"Umm… Ali…I can't… Breath…"

"Ali, the girl can't breathe!" Hanna shouted in front of Ali and Emily.

"Oh! Sorry, I just got carried away."

Allison looks at Emily's eyes lustfully like she wants to kiss her. In Allison's mind, she doesn't know what to think: Is she have feelings for Emily or it's just INFATUATION.

On the other hand, Spencer is in pain just by looking at Allison with Emily. She just wants to have an alone time with and now, she can't have it. Now she has to find a way to steal Emily away from Allison for payback. But first she has to cut the drama that is happening inside her house.

"Ehem… I thought this is a movie marathon not a motel."

"Well, if you have any vacant room that would be a delight." Allison said seductively.

"WELL, we came here for the movie so shut up and get your butts to the couch."

The three of them even Emily marched straight to the couch and sat down. Hanna sat at the bean bag, Aria sat at the lazy boy while Ali and Emily were cozy sitting at the couch. Good thing Emily is sitting at the middle and there is room available at the left side of Emily so Spencer rushed to couch and sat down as fast as possible.

"Umm… Where's the popcorn? I thought this is a movie marathon not a documentary…" Allison nagged

"Ugghhh! FINE! Why do you always have to nag?"

"Because it's fun?"

Spencer got up to her position but someone stopped her and hold her wrist.

"I'll come with you." Emily said. Spencer's face lit up.

"You don't have to dear, Spencer can take care of herself." Allison said as she tries to stop Emily to come with Spencer.

"It's not bad to help you know. Right Em?" Aria said.

"Yeah."

"Fine then, have it your way…"

As Emily and Spencer went to the kitchen to heat some popcorn, Hanna throws a pillow at Allison's face.

"OW! What the hell was that for?"

"For being a B.I.T.C.H to Spencer and Emily."

"I'm not being a bitch."

"Yeah you are. What is your problem anyways with Spencer? Ever since Spencer got to Emily first before you, you're acting like a spoiled brat. I think you're just jealous." Aria interrupted.

"Jealous of what? Of Emily? You gotta be kidding me. I would never be jealous just because of Emily. And besides, I just want to piss Spencer for fun." Allison said with her head up high.

"Yeah… tell it yourself. But in my opinion, you should stop pissing Spencer off. For god's sake! You're best friends since kindergarden, why do you have to start it now?" Hanna asked to Ali.

"You know what? I didn't come here to be lectured by my friends. I'm going home." Allison stand up and went straight to the kitchen to tell it to Spencer.

"Spence! I'm going home!"

"What? Now? What happened this time?"

"Nothing, I just don't feel watching anymore… By Em."

"Bye…" Emily said softly as she tries to think what could possibly the problem of Ali as she walks towards the door, sad and tired of hearing all the shit around her telling she's the bad guy.

When Spencer and Emily came to the living room, Hanna and Aria were standing up talking to each other silently.

"What happened to Allison?" Spencer asked to the girls. But both of them just looked at each other like their keeping a secret.

"Maybe it's her month… I don't know." Hanna replied

"Guys, come on."

"Why do you have to know?

"Umm… maybe because she's still my friend and yours too. And you should tell me because you're also my friends?"

"FINE! I'll tell it!" Aria shouted. "She's being a bitch and this time it's not about academics or other things. It's about her!" Aria pointed at Emily like she's suspect of a crime.

"Why me?" Emily asked.

"That's what we're trying to figure out." "Spence, can we skip today, we just don't feel like watching anymore…" Hanna said to Spencer with her puppy eyes.

"Fine. Just next time we have a get together, try to calm yourselves so no one will be harmed nor hurt."

"Yeah, yeah…"

Hanna and Aria prepared their things and went home. The only people who stayed at Spencer is Emily and herself. It's like the universe planned it for the both of them: Alone at last! In Spencer's head, all she could think about is how lucky she is right now to Emily all to herself. On the other hand, Emily is freaking out because she is alone with Spencer. Spencer could see the sweat streaming down her temple. Spencer hold Emily's hand and asked:

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. I'm just nervous that's all"

"Nervous of what?"

"I don't know…"

(AWKWARD SILENCE)

"You know what? Let's just start the movie and if you've changed your mind on staying here for the night then we'll talk more."

"Okay."

Then the both of them cuddled with each other from the beginning of the movie until the end. They never let go of each other and rested their head to each other. Spencer never felt this way before, the feeling of wanting something so badly that you'll do anything to get. Meanwhile, Emily never thought that she could fall in love again but only this time, her love is for two women: For Spencer and for Allison.
