Chapter 9
Emily was woken up by the sound of her alarm clock, so she threw it away and went back to sleep. On the other hand, Spencer is woken up by the sound of Emily's alarm clock smashed down to the floor. Emily forgot that she and Spencer spent the night together in her room because she told her so.
"What time is it?" Emily asked.
"I don't know, you're the one who smashed the clock." Spencer answered.
"Right, sorry to wake you up."
"It's fine. We should get up anyways, we have school?"
"Oh right! I forgot."
"Yes you did. I should get back to my house and clean up then I'll pick you up, sounds good?"
"Yeah sure."
Spencer got up from Emily's bed and went to the door but Emily stopped her.
"Hey Spence, thank you for last night."
"You're welcome… You know, sooner or later you have to tell me what's going on inside your pretty little brain of yours."
"I know, I'm just not yet ready to talk about it."
"Well if you are, let me know okay?"
"I will."
"See you in a few minutes."
"Yeah, bye."
Spencer got out of her room and went straight to her car while Emily got up from her bed and went to the bathroom and take a bath. When she got out, she took shorty shorts, a white plain muscle tee and a black leather jacket from closet, wore her black snickers and went down stairs. As when she is about to go outside their porch, her dad stopped her from going out.
"We didn't have a talk last night."
"About what dad?"
"I don't know, you tell me. You're the one who has problems last night. You know, you have to tell me."
"I know dad, you'll know it sooner or later. Where's mom anyway?"
"She's still at the hospital but I can leave the house for a few minutes if you want me to take you to school?"
"Oh its fine dad, I already have a ride, its Spencer."
"Oh, the lovely lady last night. And btw, I want to meet your other friends before I go back."
"So soon? Why?"
"My commanding officer needs me as soon as possible."
"But when are you going back?"
"I'm still not sure about the date but I'll keep you posted."
The honk of the car startle both Emily and Wayne.
"My ride's here. I'm gonna miss you so much."
"Honey, I'm not going anywhere, I'm still here."
"Make sure of that."
Emily hugged Wayne like it's the last time she going to hug her dad in a long time. Wayne pulls away and told Emily to go now or else she'll be late for school. When Emily got in the car, Spencer sense that something's wrong about Emily.
"What's the matter again?"
"My dad… He's leaving this weekend."
"I'm sorry. Do you know when will he come back?"
"No…"
Emily hugged Spencer, looking for comfort so Spencer gave one. Spencer wants to do something that could make Emily happy and the only way to do that is something extravagant.
When they arrived at school Hanna, Aria and of course Allison was standing in front of the locker of Spencer, waiting for them. When Emily and Spencer saw them, Emily told Spencer she's just going to get something on her locker and they'll just meet during break time. So she said her goodbye to Spencer and walk straight to them like they were ghosts. Allison noticed Emily that she was really hurt to what she said earlier to Emily. But then Hanna, Aria and Spencer looked at Allison, daydreaming about Emily.
"Uhh, Ali? Are you still there?" Hanna asked
"Umm… Yeah. I'm just thinking about the test today."
"Are you sure? Or is it something else." Spencer asked with one brow up.
"What are you trying to say Spence?"
The bell rang.
"I think we can discuss this later, I'll see you guys." Spencer said
"Yeah, see yah!" Aria said.
And they all went to their classrooms and when Allison went inside her classroom, she saw Emily, staring at the window she can see how hurt she was. She knew she has done something really stupid that even she feels hurt. When she saw Emily now staring at her, she shake her head and went to find a seat. But the only seat that was left was behind Emily. So Ali walked to the empty chair and sat and stared at Emily's flawless brunette hair. She wanted to talk to her but she doesn't know what to say so she just sat there, silently. While her teacher is lecturing about the French revolution, Ali was daydreaming again about Emily. She couldn't explain her feelings to Emily. This is her first time to fall in love with a person she truly knows especially to a girl. Then when the class was done, Emily stood up and walk as fast as she can but Allison stopped her by grabbing her wrist. Emily stared again Allison and so was Allison. They were silent, looking at each other's eyes. Emily wanted to let go but Allison refuses and pulls Emily closer to her then… next thing happened, they were kissing. Emily didn't know what is happening but she feels like she's in cloud 9 when she kisses Allison. On the other hand, Allison was also screaming inside because of what's happening. Emily's lips her firm and warm while Ali's lips so soft and passionate. But Emily broke it off to get some air.
"Why did you do that?" Emily asked with pain in her voice.
"Kiss you? Because I miss you so much and it hurts to see you in pain." Allison answered.
"Maybe you could blame yourself for that you know. You're the reason why I'm like this."
"I know, and I'm sorry. I know you don't want to be hurt after your break up with…"
"Please don't. Yes I don't want to be hurt but it happened so there is no reverse in it."
"So that's it? The kiss was nothing to you?"
"Of course the kiss was everything to me! But thinking about what you said to me just makes it nothing now."
"What I said that time, that was a mistake, I should never said that to you. My feeling are real and true for you. I love you Emily Fields! And I don't how to deal with it but all I know is that I am in love with you and that is all that matters."
"Umm… I don't know how to respond to that… What do you want me to say?"
"You don't have to say anything."
"Why are you telling me this now?"
"I thought you should know."
Both of their foreheads leaned against each other and smiling. They couldn't believe what was happening but it felt right and it was the perfect moment for them.
While Allison and Emily stayed at the classroom, Spencer went to her locker but when she got there, she was so shocked to what she is seeing. Leaning at her locker was Toby Cavanaugh. The one who threaten the lives of the girls and now he's back to threaten them again.
"What the hell are you doing here?"
"Well, I just want to see my precious girls again. Where are they anyway? I thought you were all at the same place at the same time always?"
"That is none of your business. Get away from here now or I swear, I will call the cops."
"Oh are not informed Spence? I'm a cop now so if call the cops, you are calling me now. I'm gonna go anyways. See you again Spencer…"
Toby walks away while Spencer is shaking with fear. Hanna and Aria saw Spencer shaking, so they went to her.
"Hey Spencer! Are you alright?" Aria asked
"He was here a while ago."
"HE?!" Hanna shouted.
"Keep it down Han!" Spencer responded.
"Sorry. Where the hell anyway is Allison, Her class was dismissed 15 minutes ago."
"Maybe it's because she's with Emily." Aria said.
"And how the hell did you know that?" Spencer asked.
"Look."
Aria was pointing at the both of them. And they were surprised to what they saw.
"Emily and Allison together?" Aria said.
"Oh oh… trouble in paradise Spence?" Hanna added
"Shut up Han. I don't really care about them right now, all I care about right now is Toby and how to get rid of him once and for all."
"Hi guys, what's up?" Allison said.
"While you were busy with Emily, Toby Cavanaugh came by." Spencer said
"What the hell is he doing here now, and what does he want from us? Alison answered
"Who's he?" Emily asked
"You'll know him sooner or later honey. Right now I'm starving, so can we just eat and discuss this later?" Hanna responded
"Yeah sure." Allison said
So they all went to the cafeteria and ate but inside their minds haunts the presence of Toby Cavanaugh, ready to get even again from them after what happened to his sister. Can they handle with it now that Emily will also be a target and now, will be the next person of interest of Toby Cavanaugh?
