My door slammed shut, and out of respect for Emily I didn't chase after her, hoping that maybe a walk around the block would help her calm down, but when she was gone for more then 10 minutes I started to worry. This was the first fight the two of us have had since we started dating, and I new It wouldn't be the last. I text spencer wondering if maybe Emily had paid her a visit, but when she said she thought she was with me, I sighed. Aria and Mona both had plans with their significant others tonight, so my only other guess was Hanna and I was relieved to say the least when Hanna text back a yes.

Walking out of Ali's house tears began to stream down my face. I could believe how quickly things had escalated in Ali's room but I new it wasn't my fault. God Ali can be stubborn when she wants to. And maybe the old Emily would have caved by my opinion Ayer too. I sigh as I replayed our conversation in my head, what hurt the most was that it seemed to me like Ali was okay with us not being together, Like if we broke up right now she wouldn't care and that scares me because I would I don't want to be miles away from her I want to be right here. When I finally stopped thinking, an realised where I was walking I saw that i had now turned down Hanna's street and before I could talk myself out of it I was knocking on her door. when Hanna opened it and she saw my face, she pulled me into a hug. "OMG Emily what's wrong? what happen? where Ali? Ali happen, I sighed burying my head into my best friends neck. "What? you... You two didn't break up did you?" I pulled away and sighed. what no way, I mean I don't think so, I don't know we just... We just got into a fight, our first fight and I left. Hanna relaxed a little before leading the way into the kitchen and I took a seat as she poured me some water. For the next half hour Hanna let me vent to her, as I explained what happen, and she did her best to comfort me. "Em don't you think you should go back there and talk to her?" what no i can't, can't I just stay here tonight? "Does Ali know your here?" not exactly, i was pissed so I just said I'm going out. "Em you can't do that, I know she made you mad, but she must be worried sick you have been gone for over two hours. I sighed feeling kind of guilty and I realised in the heat of the moment I had forgotten to grab my phone.
"You can stay, but let me at lest tell her your here". Fine, I let Hanna text Ali before the two of us headed upstairs to her room. Staying the night at Hanna's seemed to be a good idea, at lest it did at the time, but when I woke up at three am a complete mess from yet another nightmare, I instantly missed the comfort of my favourite blonde. sleeping without Ali wasn't the same, and with her being the only one who can comfort me, I regretted not going back there. Despite the fact I'm still mad I would have done anything to be in her arms, but instead I silently cried myself back to sleep. The next day I woke up, and begged Hanna to ditch school not sure that I was ready to face her, however Hanna reminded me that the six of us were having a sleepover tonight at Hanna's and I would have to see her at some stage anyway, so reluctantly I changed clothes borrowing something of Hanna's and the two of us headed to school.
Walking into school felt different when it was with Hanna, and when we spotted both spencer and Ali at the lockers I got a little nervous unsure if she was planing on talking to me. Ali and I made brief eye contact but when we joined them she got up and left without a word. "Ok serious please tell me what is going on Em, when I asked Ali all she said was that you stayed at Hanna's last night not hers" spencer looked confused. That's right I did, we got into a fight because Ali's to behind to graduate with us and she needs to either do 12th grade again or summer school. I offered to defer college for a year and stay with her but she isn't letting me, she will not even consider it and she's being stubborn, I feel like she's okay if we just break up, I mean she was unfazed when I mentioned being hours apart and that hurt. "Em I ... I'm sure she didn't mean it like that maybe she genuinely just wants what's best for you, she probably just doesn't want to hold you back and I think that's sweet" well sweet or not spence what's best for me is her, I don't want to loss her, NO I can't loss her spencer not again!, we have only been dating a month and it's been the best month of my life". Spence nodded in understanding "well then the two of you really need to talk". Yeah like that's going to happy, did you see her just then? Hanna smiled "oh it will, if you two don't work out your shit today I will help you work it out tonight". I rolled my eyes thinking she was joking, when in actual face she was dead serious. Hanna I'm not going tonight. Umm yes you are Fields don't even try getting out of it.

Avoiding Emily proved to be more difficult then I thought it would be, during class I sat with Aria while Emily sat with Hanna, and at lunch we didn't exchange one word. It was killing me staying away from her for this long but I wanted her to know that she wasn't the only one who was upset about how yesterday went, and by giving her the silent treatment she was giving me I figured she'd realise eventually that I was serious about what I said. When the bell went for the end of the day, I thought I did a good job of getting out of class without seeing the girls but I was wrong when I heard Hanna's voice behind me on my walk home. "Hey Dilaurentis wait up" I rolled my eyes as I slowed down my pace and she caught up. "If your thinking about ditching this sleepover tonight think again, it's the first one with all six of us and I'm not going to let you or Emily ruin the fun for the rest of us, so you better be there". Han I really have a lot of homework to do I think I'd... "No way don't even try getting out of this, I'll see you at 6 and don't think I won't make sure that spencer gets you, Aria is dragging Emily there too". Huffing realising I was going to have to go I said goodbye to Hanna before heading upstairs to change and pack my bag. Since being back in rosewood the only place I've stayed other than mine is at Emily's, and you could say I'm a little nervous. I know the girls continued their sleepovers while I was gone and I wasn't exactly sure what I was getting into by going. When I was packed I decided to finish my English essay until spencer arrives. Shortly after I finished it spencer knocked on the door and I gathered my bags and followed her outside not really in the mood to talk, but spencer did anyway. "Hello to you two Ali, come on this sleepover is suppose to be fun lighten up!" Lighten up, spencer I'm pretty sure if Toby was ignoring you, you wouldn't be to happy". "Right about that, I spoke to Emily this morning do you even know why she's not talking to you?" Um duh spence she's mad because I want her to go to college and not just stay in this lame town because of me, am I wrong to want that for her? I'd be more selfish if I just let her drop all her plans. "Ali your not wrong to want that, but Emily's not mad about that, she's upset because she thinks your okay about being apart, heck she's a reck ,that girl loves you to peaces Ali and she doesn't want to be a part, she thinks that bye you saying to her that she has to go to college that you guys will have to break up". What? Spence I don't want that, I've only just gotten use to being with her, there's other ways of staying together. "yeah well you might want to tell Emily that sooner rather then later, she's probably getting ready for you to break up with her". My heart sank realising that Emily had taken this whole conversation the wrong way. How am I meant to do that spence? she won't even look at me. "Well that's where Hanna comes in she's got a plan, so just go with it okay?"
Fine if it gets her to talk to me I'm in. Arriving at Hanna's spencer and I were the first ones there followed by Mona. spencer explained to Hanna that I don't want to break up with Emily, and before the others arrived they letting me in on the plan. Hanna then ordered pizza claiming that Aria and Emily would pick it up on there way here. When Aria and Em arrived, Emily to say the least didn't look pleased about being here, and I wanted nothing more then to just comfort her already and tell her I'm sorry. When the six of us settled into the lounge room, Hanna and Mona took one couch, with spencer and Aria on another. Hanna winked and I laughed at the first part of the plan which was to make Emily sit with me. Emily unimpressed rolled her eyes as she sat down on the couch as far away from me as possible, almost as though I was contagious and I sighed. instead of sharing a blanket Emily opted for her own one, and the longer we spent not talking the more it was killing me inside. When the girls and I finally agreed on a movie the six of us settled in for the night and began to watch it. 20 minutes in my phone buzzed and I smirked seeing that it was Hanna
( 1 new message ) Han :)
Nows your chance, text her and tell her to meet you upstairs to talk, if she doesn't follow I'll make her.
I looked over at Hanna and we made brief eye contact before I began writing my text to Em.

I so did not want to go to this "group hang" tonight but when Hanna made sure that Aria came passed mine to get me I new I had no choice. When the girls and I took up our positions on the couch, I rolled my eyes at the fact that I was the one who had to share with Ali, and as much as I would normally have killed for this to happen I was not happy about it. Sharing with Ali only made it harder for me to stay mad, and harder for me to resist her especially when she kept making all her cute face as she watched the movie. When my phone vibrated in my lap I jumped slightly realising I had got a text, and pulling it out from under the blanket I sighed at the name that was now my screen.
( 1 new text message :) Ali xxx
Em can we talk please ? this is killing me, I'll be in Hanna's room.
When I glanced over at Ali she was already staring at me, waiting for some sort of response. when I shrugged my shoulders I turned back towards the TV although not for long as I watched Ali get up and head upstairs. Five minutes later I was yet to follow still wondering if she would end things with me for good if I did, but When Hanna nudged me from the other couch and pointed to the stairs I new I had to at lest hear her out.

Sitting on Hanna's bed I could not keep still, I was to nervous wondering if she would follow or not, when five minutes passed and she still didn't enter I was considering going back downstairs until I heard someone knock. Come in I mumbled softly though she must have heard me as the door open and closed, revealing a very anxious brunette. "You... You wanted to talk" Emily stuttered and I sighed not having seen Emily this nervous since before I ran away, and I hated that I was the cause. I do, I slowly walked towards her flashing her a faint smile as I reached for her hand. when she didn't pull away I relaxed. I want to start by saying I don't want to break up with you okay, I hate that you thought I did, that will never happen. Emily's body physically loosen when she heard the first thing I had to say and she was unable to hide the grin on her face. When I lead Emily towards Hanna's bed the two of us sat down and we began to talk. I meant what I said Emily I don't want you to just drop everything for me okay? you have worked to hard to just to throw college away, there are ways we can still be together. I know it will be hard but we can work it out together. Emily sighed. "But Danby is more than six hours away, and I don't want to be that far away from you. I can't, not yet anyway I'm sorry if that sounds stupid". Emily blushed looking at her lap instead. Hey, it's not stupid okay it's sweet, I don't like the idea of being that far apart anymore than you do but I'm not letting you take a year off that's not an option okay? "What if I make you a deal, I could take the offer from Dominic and he can train me for a year. I can work on getting my arm strength back and back into shape. That way when were both are ready for college we can go together?". Em that's like taking a y... Emily placed her fingers on my lips stopping me from talking. "No it's not, it's not the same as taking a year off okay. I will be training five days a week, working on my skills and fitness level even brushing up on my swimming knowledge. I'll even take a class on physical therapy if it will make you happy to see me study". I sighed, where is this Dominic guy based? And what's his connection to Paige? Emily laughed, "It's in Filly and Paige if you must know only new about him because of her dad, there is nothing to worry about she's not training their. she's miles away in California and we are just friends I promise. I can get my own dorm, and you'll get to visit or stay as much as you want, come on Ali please!" Emily pouted knowing full well I'd cave. " it's a win, win situation it's only for a year And bye doing this we will get to be together and you can go back to school and get a year 12 certificate like you deserve". I smiled liking this deal more and more.
Fine I guess that's fare, your lucky I love you Fields I usually don't give in that easy, I guess you made me an offer I can't resists. Emily's smile turned into a full on grin. "I love you too Ali" Emily burst with happiness as she pulled me into a kiss which I eagerly returned it having missing those pink lips. the two of us continued making out as we lay on Hanna's bed. Pulling away short of breath Emily wrapped her arms around my back holding me against her. "So about prom, when will you know? I smiled realising that I had totally forgot about that news. Actually I spoke to Hackett today, I guess I forgot to tell you because we were not talking. "Well what did he say? can you go? Well now that depends, "Depends on what?" I lifted my head slightly so I could look at Emily while I spoke. It depends on whether you will be my date? Emily's face lit up. OMG Ali, yes of course I will! You... he's letting you go? I nodded, yep turns out Hackett not such a bad guy after all, he talk to the bored and given what I've been through there letting me go despite my grades."Babe you have no idea how happy that makes me", I smiled looking down at my favourite brunette who was almost crying. Hey Em don't cry, it will be fun. "Sorry I just... I have want to take you to prom since ninth grade, i'be dreamed of this moment, but I never thought it would actually happen". Well it is, and I'm glad that your dream is coming true, I love you Emily. I pressed a kiss on Emily's left cheek. "I love you more Ali" Emily whispered in my ear as I rest my head on her chest enjoying the sound of her heart beating with mine. Hey Em? "yeah Ali?" just so you know, you will always be my favourite, "I know, and I will never get tied of hearing you say that". I laughed holding onto my girl a little tighter. Whatever the future holds for us Em I promise you we will face it together.
