"We were actually talking, about us, and then out of nowhere Alison shows up, Paige left and I don't know what the hell went through my mind but I totally snapped at Alison." Emily told the girls. "She has such a bad timing" Emily finished with a sigh.

"Maybe you just need to stay away from her and sort your feelings out Em" Aria suggested, adjusting her position on Emily's bed.

"What?!" Emily said panicking "Away from whom?!"

"Alison, you dumbass. You're still clearly head over heels for Paige" Spencer said from the chair she was seated at, with a smirk on her face and rising an eyebrow.

"Yup. Just get it done Em. Corner Paige on the locker room and…"

"Hanna." Spencer called, warning in her tone.

"I'm just saying… make-up sex is the best to fix problems" Hanna said raising her hands.

"I actually want to FIX the problem Hanna, not avoid it" Emily stated, dropping the blouse she was folding on the bed.

"Be honest, you'd like to avoid it" Hanna said provoking Emily

"HANNA!" Both Spencer and Aria glared at her.

"You people are no fun" Hanna was making a sad puppy face.

"And my feelings are sorted." Emily said looking up at Aria. "Ali has been acting like she cares for me since she came back but" The girl lowered her head "even though it hurts, I know she's doing it so she won't lose control over me" she gave a tentative look at the girls. "I'm an idiot for thinking that she would change."

"Aw Em, group hug!" Hanna said and they all got up and squished Emily into a tight hug making the girl smile.

"You're not an idiot. Well… maybe just a bit but now you saw the light AND you're gonna fix things with Paige" Hanna said with a smile on her face.

"Thank you. For listening and bearing with me"

"You were the closest one to Alison, we knew it would be harder for you to see that she was trying to get back to how it was…" Spencer said rubbing her hand on Emily's harm, giving the girl some comfort.

"You sure you're done with her? And the feelings associate with her?" Aria asked in a low tone, somehow afraid of hurting Emily's feelings.

"Yes!" Emily said determinant. "I've lost too many good things in my life and I'm not gonna give anything away, ever again, without a fight. Starting with Paige." Emily held her head high

"I like that attitude." Spencer said with a smile on her face and shaking Emily's shoulder in a playful mood.

Emily was walking in the locker room when she noticed a crowd on the other side of the room. Getting closer she noticed Paige stood in the middle, receiving cheering s, hi' fives and hugs from her teammates.

"Oh, Hey!" Sydney greeted her while drying her hair.

"What's happening there?" Emily asked, her eyebrows connecting.

"Coach just informed the team that Paige holds a new best" Sydney updated the girl with a huge smile on her face.

"Say what!" Emily blurted out.

"Yup, she sure is good" she was looking at Paige but then faced Emily "She's fast!" Sydney corrected.

"Yea, I know how good she is" Emily said in a low tone. Then she noticed someone.

"Is that Claire?"

"I'm not looking Emily, tying my shoe"

"She's hugging Paige" a hint of jealousy in her voice.

Sydney looked up at her with an eyebrow raised "Yhea, well people do that" and resumed tying her shoe.

"She's hugging her too close and for too long" Emily sated "Where does she think she's going with that hand?!" Emily had now a fierce look on her face.

Sydney quickly looked at Emily, then Paige and back to Emily with a confused look "I know it's not my business but… are you jealous?"

'But is everyone gay now?! She's taken, Parker. Take those hands off of my girlfriend' Emily was thinking while giving the girl a death stare.

"Whoo whoo" Sydney waved in front of eyes.

"hm?"

"You jealous?"

"What!" Emily came back to reality "No! Get dressed, we're going for a run outside" 'I need to get out of here. And I definitely need to let go of this…ENERGY'

"But I just got off practice" Sydney wined

"Let's go! You need to build up resistance" Emily told her as excuse.

Returning from the run Emily was leading Sydney towards the gym to actually have a resistance workout when she spotted Paige running on the treadmill. She turned on her heels and told Sydney "You know what? Go home. You're tired, we'll meet up tomorrow or something."

"Yhea? I was tired before and that didn't stopped you from making me run like it was the apocalypse" Sydney said doubtful of Emily's kindness.

"Just go" said with a command voice.

"YES Ma'am. See ya tomorrow" and with that Sydney bolted out.

Emily took a deep breath and entered the gym. She noticed Paige had her headphones on and held a strong expression. The one she had when she thought too much about something. 'I wonder if she's thinking about us'

Not knowing how to announce herself, Emily grabbed one of the plugs, pulling it out and jumped in front of the treadmill "Hey"

"HOLY SHIT!" Paige squealed and tripped on the fast carpet, falling to the floor and ending up on her knees. "I almost had a heart attack right now" she said breathing fast. "Are you crazy?!" she asked looking up at Emily whom was trying not laugh at what just happened.

"For you? Yes"

"What?!" Paige went from standing on her knees to a seating position, her breathing still fast.

"It's true" Emily said biting her bottom lip. Sweaty Paige was one of her favorites to look at.

"Uh?" Paige has a confused look and was truthfully lost on the conversation "Have you been drinking? You always talk funny when you drink." She said trying to even her fast breathing, laying her head on her bended knees.

"What?" Now Emily had a confused look "No! I'm being honest! And you were right" her looking changing for an apologetic one.

"About what?" Paige voice muffled by her position.

"Pretty much everything. Are you okey?" Emily was starting to worry about the girl.

"I'll be fine…" Paige waved at Emily "just need to catch my breath. Don't mind me, continue"

"Well. We can't be friends." Emily stated till looking at Paige with a worried look wondering if the girl was feeling all right.

Paige's head, that was lying between her knees, shoot up hearing that.

"I love you. I can't stand being 'just friends' with you" Paige was looking at Em and thinking 'WHAT the heck?!'

"I think I'm gonna faint" Paige said in a very low tone, her breathing catching up again.

"So I have a LOT to apologize for but, if you take me, I'll prove my love to you"

Paige's mind was racing 'Is this really happening?' "If I take you?" Paige said looking up at Emily again.

"I'm apologizing for what I did, Paige" Emily said looking at Paige deeps brown eyes and biting her lip. "I'm sorry"

"Great way to apologize, indeed" Paige was shaking head sideways, in a disapproving way.

"Hanna actually suggested we should just have sex" Emily shrugged.

"This is surreal" She got up and looked Emily in the eyes "Are you joking? Is this some king of prank pulled by…"

"NO. I would never do that to you. I love you. Like you said, I was blinded for a while but not anymore." She held Paige's face, the girl tense under her touch "I want you. I want my safe place back" she told Paige with a pleading voice, glancing down at Paige's lips. Emily looked down and started "I fucked up…". She felt Paige's body relaxing.

"I thought you only cursed during sex?" Paige said with a slight smile.

"Unf" Emily hit Paige lightly on the shoulder followed by laying her head there, hiding her face in Paige's neck. Emily's hands griping to Paige's back, not wanting the girl to pull back. Paige didn't. She rested her hands on Emily's back, pulling her closer.

"I'm selfish. I'm sorry for pushing you away repeatedly." Emily's voice came out weak, the girl now crying.

"Just promise me you'll talk to me. Be honest. About everything. No more secrets" Paige squeezed Emily tighter, ensuring the girl she was not leaving. Emily didn't spoke but nodded "yes" with her head.

"No, Em, say it to me" she demanded, her voice sounding calm, not as calm as Paige was feeling. Her heart was beating even faster that when she got scared just a few moments ago.

Paige placed her fingers on Emily's chin, pushing it up with a tender touch.

"No looking away, remember." she said, her eyes full of love. Emily gave her a small smile, a mixture of happiness and sadness and nodded up and down, matching her words "I promise".

"Good" Paige gave the girl a kiss on the forehead and Emily hugged her again, crying more intensely now and repeating the words "I'm sorry" into Paige's neck.

They stood like that for a while, hugging, feeling the others presence, like if they'd let go the other would vanish. After some minutes Emily's crying had subsided and the girl said in a low tone, ashamed of what she was about to admit, but she had just promised Paige she would be honest and she was determined to keep the promise"I was jealous".

"What?" Paige asked giving a small laugh.

"IwasJealousOfClaireParkerBackInTheLockerRoomSheWasHuggingYouTooTightAndForTooLongForMyLiking" Emily said really fast, hopping Paige would not ask her to repeat what she just said. Saying those words made her remember what she saw. She hugged Paige even closer and said with an assertive tone "Mine" and she felt Paige's body shaking. The girl was laughing at her.

"Are you turning into Golum now? You're gonna start calling me "My Precious"?" Paige asked with a playful voice and smile. Emily detached from the hug and looked Paige in the eyes.

"You ARE My Precious" her voice sounding confident "but I'm not Golum, ew!" Emily said with a disgusted face. Paige was laughing "Only you to make a joke when I'm trying to be serious P" Paige tilted her head to the side and Emily caressed her cheek. She pulled the swimmer close and with no hesitation they kissed and both felt like they were finally home. When they broke the kiss grasping for air Paige kissed Emily on the forehead and said "C'mon let's get out of here. I need to have a word with miss Marin regarding my sex life"
