Chapter 7

Emily, spencer and Alison were driving back to Emily's home for the sleepover. It was raining and Emily is driving the car when suddenly her brakes didn't work and slipped to the bridge. The car is slowly sinking. On Emily's mind, she doesn't know who to save first: Spencer or Allison, both gasping for air and reaching out to Emily to save them…

Emily gasped for air as she woke up. She is breathing heavily after witnessing that awful nightmare. She looked at the clock and it was only 4 am in the morning so she went back to her bed. The thought of being with Spencer or Allison makes her life complicated because these 2 girls can start a forest fire when they fight. And now, she knows that Spencer and Allison feels something for Emily, It gets more complicated than ever. So Emily closed her eyes again, trying to get some sleep and so she did.

It was 7 am when someone woke her up in her sleep. She was surprised and couldn't believe the person who is in her room right now.

"Dad!" Emily shouted and embraced Wayne with all her strength.

"Emmy, oh you don't know how much I miss you and your mother. Speaking of your mother, where is she?"

"She's at the hospital and she is about to get home right…" the sound of the doorbell made Emily and her dad excited. "now"

Emily and Wayne went straight down stairs and fetch her mother on the door. Her dad volunteered himself to open the door to surprise his wife. When he open the door…

"Welcome home honey."

"Wayne!"

Pam jumped with joy and went straight to her husband, crying but glad to see Wayne.

"I thought you were still in Iraq for another 2 months?"

"My commanding officer told me to take a week of since I've earned it."

"Thank God you're home safe and sound." Pam hugged her husband again. Emily cleared her throat like she wants to join the family hug.

"Oh, come here Emmy." Wayne said.

They all hugged and cried with happiness now that Wayne is home. Emily looked at the clock and realized that she'll be late in about 30 minutes.

"Umm… Mom, Dad, I'll be late for school if we don't stop hugging here."

"Right, well then… Get dressed, I'll take you to school." Wayne said.

"Thanks dad."

Emily went upstairs and got dressed while Pam and Wayne had some catching up to do. When Emily is done, she said her goodbyes to her mother and went outside with her father then went straight to school.

Wayne dropped Emily to her school and said her goodbye to her dad.

"Bye Emmy, see later for dinner."

"Sure dad, can't wait."

Emily walked outside her door when she saw someone waiting for her, waving and smiling.

"Come on lazy buns, we've got 5 minutes before school starts."

"Ali? Why'd you wait for me here? And where's Spencer and the gang?"

"Oh, they went inside already. I waited for you so that we could go inside together."

"Umm… okay. Shall we?"

"We shall."

Allison hold Emily's hand as they walked in. Emily's heart rate got fast as Allison plays with her hand. And it gotten faster when Allison lets her skin touch with Emily's. Emily couldn't believe what is happening, she feels like she's ruling the whole school just by hanging out or just walking with the most popular girl in school.

When lunch time came, Spencer is waiting for outside the door and not Allison. She is a little bit disappointed but at least it's Spencer.

"Hey Em, it's been a long time since I've seen you."

"That was yesterday Spence, but yeah, it's nice to see you again."

"Walk with me?"

Emily looked around, seeing if Allison would just popped up in the surrounding, but sadly she wasn't.

"Yeah… sure."

"Are you alright? You seem a little off."

"I'm not off, it's just that Physics is killing me right now and I have a huge test tomorrow and I don't know where to start."

"Maybe I could teach you tonight if you don't have any plans."

"Really? That would be great! Oh wait, I do have plans tonight. I'm sorry."

"Oh, it's alright I could teach you after school and still be on time on your plan for tonight."

"What if you could join me on my plan tonight?"

"And what is your plan?"

"My dad got back from Iraq and we'll be having a family dinner, maybe you could join us?"

"I don't think it's not a good idea for me to come."

"Why not? After dinner you could tutor me on physics. Please I need you."

Spencer felt this sudden rush in her body when Emily tells her she needs her.

"Fine, I'm in."

"Great! I'll tell my parents I'll be bringing someone later, hold on."

Emily went to a quiet place and called her mother while Spencer saw Aria and Hanna sitting at a table.

"Hey Guys!"

"Hey Spence!" Aria said.

"What up Spence" Hanna said.

"I think Emily kind of ask me on a date."

"WHAT?!" Aria and Hanna's faces were in shock.

"I know, it started with tutoring then it went to a family dinner and tutoring so I think it's a bonus point for me in getting Em."

"You love her that much huh?" Hanna said.

"Yeah, I am. Especially when she kissed me that night."

"And when did that happen?" Aria asked.

"She kissed after our movie night that turned out to be a family dinner with the Hastings"

"Ooohhh… Spencer's slutting it up." Hanna joked.

"Shut up!"

Then Allison appeared.

"Hey guys, I'm sorry if I acted a bitch last weekend. I was totally crossed the line."

"We all know you're a bitch Ali, but that's we're friends right? We stick together through thick and thin?" Spencer said.

"So that means…"

"Apology accepted." Aria said.

"Yeah, we were out of line also that time, so no harm no foul right?" Hanna said.

"Yeah… So what are you talking about now?"

"Spencer's kiss with Emily." Hanna said like Spencer is her pride and joy.

Allison's heart sink when she heard Emily kissed Spencer. She thought that she is the only person in Emily's mind, turns out she's not. Emily appeared in the crowd, Allison first thought was to go away but Emily stopped her from going.

"Where are you going?" Emily asked.

"I need some fresh air."

"We are outside you know that right?"

"I mean I need some space… excuse me."

"Wait!" Emily shouted.

"What's with her?" Spencer asked to Emily.

"I don't know, but I'm gonna find out"

Emily went inside and tries to find Allison but no sign of her. So the only place that she hasn't gone to is the gym. So she went inside and saw Allison in the pool, her legs are dipped and crying. Emily went beside her and asked:

"Why'd you storm out?"

"It's nothing, don't mind it Em."

"Nothing? You walked out on us and I'm just going to think it's nothing?"

"Yes Emily, it's nothing… Just go back to them, I'll be fine."

"Ali, tell me what's wrong."

"Em, it's nothing really."

"Fine, but if you're ready to talk, talk to me okay?"

"I know Em, you're the only one that I can talk to."

Emily tried to kiss Allison in the lips but Allison stopped her and just looked at the opposite direction. Emily feels hurt when Ali looked away, she feels that something's wrong and somehow it's all her fault.
