Spencer arrived by Aria's side shortly after the whole scenario. Aria still hadn't breathed a word, Ali and I exchanged a worried glance. I looked down, and I could feel Spencer's eyes on me. Hanna walked into the silence.
"Um? Is there something I'm missing here?" Spencer asked. I shook my head indicating nothing was happening. Ali walked over and kissed Spencer on the cheek as well as Hanna. Hanna's face showed her surprise and I couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"What was that about?" Hanna asked, turning towards Ali swiftly. Alison shrugged, and I laughed again, trying to draw the tension away from her. Aria finally spoke, and the words came out of her mouth without a trace of what she had been thinking about before.
"So… Emily, do you want to sleep over tonight?" She turned to me and asked. I looked at Alison, not sure if she planned on hanging out with me tonight. She cut in immediately.
"Well actually Aria, I was thinking we could all have a big party for Emily." Alison said smiling, it wasn't her signature smug smirk, but her sincere smile.
"Where?" I asked. We all looked at each other.
"Can we go to your house Emily?" Hanna asked.
"My mom isn't home this weekend, so I don't know…" I said, I didn't want my mom to have a reason not to trust me. Eventually I was going to have to tell her I was gay eventually, and after that there will already be enough stupid tension between us without me making the mistake of a huge party at my house. Of course there would be a party if Hanna was coming over when I had no parental supervision, it's something Hanna does on a regular basis, and I'd have to clean it up.
"My house," Spencer came into the conversation. Melissa and Wren are on their honeymoon. I can call and ask about using the barn, but… Emily, can you call? She likes you more." I nodded, she dialed the number and handed me her phone.
I walked out of hearing, because they were loud. I swear the whole store could hear us.
The ringing was interrupted by a quiet hello.
"Hello, is this Melissa?" I asked, smiling into the phone. Then of course I realized she couldn't see my face and I chuckled to myself. I dropped the smile and waited for the answer.
"Yes, it is. Spencer?" She asked me.
"No, I'm so sorry for the confusion, this is Emily." I said using my sweetest voice.
"Where's Spencer? Is she okay?" She asked, I could hear the slightest bit of fear in her voice and I answered as quickly as possible.
"No, no, don't worry. Actually, we were planning on having a little get well get together tonight, and we couldn't find a place to stay, you know, a place when girls can be girls. I was wondering if we could stay in the barn. Spencer says hello by the way, she was just a little busy at the moment, finishing up her English essay and she asked one of us to make the call." I finished, if what Spencer said about Melissa was true, she would find a way to get mad at Spencer for letting me call. So I wanted to cover for her, but as soon as it slipped out of my mouth I realized that she probably shouldn't have friends over if she's finishing an essay.
"Oh okay…" Melissa started to say.
"She's just typing my essay for me, since I broke my wrist today, I can't type. And of course it's totally like me to do my essay last minute, and the teacher would've found a way to blame me, so Spencer offered to proof read and type it for me." I said, catching my mistake. I gasped for a breath of air after having to stop breathing in worry that I'd just gotten Spencer in trouble.
"How sweet of her, and of course you guys can use the barn." Melissa said. I heard Wren in the background asking Melissa if the morning sickness had worn off yet. It was about 1 'o'clock in the afternoon now.
"Thank you so much!" I said sweetly once more.
"Yeah, sure, no problem," She said. We said our goodbyes and hung up the phone. I walked back over to the girls and Ali was at the counter talking to the pharmacist. She came back with a little bag full of painkillers.
"Mission accomplished," I said smiling, as I handed Spencer her phone back.
"Ready?" Ali said as she walked towards the doors. We all nodded and out we went. Alison drove us to her house, and we got out of the car. Jason watched her get out of the driver's seat with a smirk on his face. Maybe the smirking is a regular thing in their family, I thought to myself with a laugh.
"Why are you driving?" Jason said, he was so annoying sometimes, as far as I could tell Alison hated him. And so did I when he challenged Alison, when anyone challenged Alison my heart stopped. It's kind of… scary when she was pissed off. She just shrugged at him and walked away.
We walked across the yard to Spencer's house and stopped outside.
"So, the story about Emily's arm… we're all on the same page, right?" Hanna asked, everyone nodded, and we all walked through the door greeted by Mrs. Hastings.
"Oh, Spencer I didn't know you were having company over tonight." Mrs. Hastings said pleasantly surprised.
"Yeah, sorry, we just figured we could have a small get together to support Emily." Spencer said. "We'll be staying in the barn, I've already checked in with Melissa." Spencer finished before her mom could disagree.
"What happened to Emily?" Mrs. Hastings asked, I held my arm up in response. She looked at the pink cast in exasperation.
"Are you okay? What happened?" Mrs. Hastings said in surprise. I nodded and laughed to myself.
"Yes, I'm fine. I hit my hand on the wall at my swim meet and it broke instantly." I said, I was still in pain but I tried putting a brave face on. I smiled and walked over to the couch to sit. Hanna followed, while Spencer and Aria stayed. They knew we were going to the bran soon, but I needed to keep my arm elevated. I rested it on a pillow and waited for their conversation to end.
"Does your arm hurt?" Hanna asked me, I looked at her with an obvious expression.
"Um… yes?" I said, I sounded a little too bitchy for my taste. "Sorry… It wasn't meant to come out that way…" I said, I felt kind of bad about that.
"It's fine, I just wondered when you were supposed to take your medication." Hanna said.
"I'm supposed to take it every 12 hours, and since in 12 hours I should be asleep, and I don't want to mess up the schedule, so I'll take it in two hours, at like eight." I answered back with a smile.
"I'm going to go to my house to get my stuff," Ali announced, I looked up at her pleading for her to ask someone to come with her.
"Emily, can you come?" Alison asked, I hopped up immediately, and I walked to her side with a laugh.
"Sure," I said sounding a little too energetic. I hated when Alison thought I was being too clingy. Well, I don't know if she did think that, but that's just what I assumed.
"Maybe Spencer should go, I don't think Emily should be helping with a broken wrist." Mrs. Hastings said. I looked up, disappointment glowing in my eyes.
"I wasn't going to make her move anything. I just wanted her to help me pick an outfit out." Alison said smirking, as usual. Mrs. Hastings nodded her approval so Ali and I bounded out the door. When we were a few steps away from the house she put her hand next to mine before slipping it gently into place. We saw Jason sitting on the railing of the porch and unlatched our hands immediately.
We walked inside, Jason stared us down and Ali did the same to him while I looked down awkwardly. I silently followed Alison to her room. She sat on the bed and patted the seat next to her motioning for me to sit with her, so I did.
"I was trying to tell Aria… that we were together, I tried showing her but she took it the wrong way and I panicked, I'm so sorry." Alison said to me, explaining everything she could. I just laughed.
"What are you apologizing for? We both have to be ready, and if you're not then I can wait." I said smiling, and she looked at me, pleading for honesty. I laughed and looked down for a second.
"I'm serious Alison, everything's going to be fine. Time heals everything, doesn't it?" I asked with a smirk.
"So I was thinking that we all go to the movies tonight?" Alison said standing so she could start packing a bag. I laughed and nodded, I pulled out my phone to send Aria a text.
Hey, Ali and I were wondering if you wanted to go to a movie tonight. Breaking Dawn Part 2? Tell the girls!
I showed Alison the message before sending it and she nodded her approval.
"Come hook my bra for me, Em." Alison told me and I walked behind her. I kissed her neck after gently hooking her bra into place. She turned her head towards me and kissed me gently and passionately on the lips. She turned her body around to face me, working her hands on my waist. She slowly brought them down to my bottom.
We kissed repeatedly before I lifted her in my arms, still kissing, she had her hands in my hair. Our foreheads pressed together as we slowed to a stop. I giggled helplessly, unable to control the way I was when I was with her. I set her on the ground, and we heard a knock on the door.
Before Ali could walk over to open it, it opened very slowly. Ali and I peered around the edge, and no one was there. Alison walked over to the door.
"Hello…? Is anyone there?" She called. It was weird, who would knock on her bedroom door and then walk away.
"Boo!" Jason jumped 2 inches away from Alison and a sharp scream sounded in my ears. I looked up at Ali, and she was shooing Jason out of her room.
"Jason! What the hell, get out, now!" Ali was screaming things that I couldn't quite catch. He laughed uncontrollably.
"Just remember Ali, I'm always watching you." He said before mysteriously backing away. He glanced at me with a smirk. He turned and walked into his room and slammed his door, causing me to jump. She slammed her door in response, which caused yet another jump. She turned to face me with an apologizing look.
"Where were we?" She asked and now it was my turn to smirk. She walked towards me, wrapping her long tan arms around my neck as she leaned up to kiss me. I could feel her smile as we kissed and I'm sure she could feel mine. I gently kissed her throat, working down to her neck, and collar bones, I could feel a shudder as each kiss got harder and rougher.
I gently parted my lips, she was giggling. I was sucking, leaving marks on her necks. We moved a chair, I sat and she sat on top, facing me. There were four hickeys on her neck and collar bone. Now it was her turn. She kissed me on the forehead and smiled. She kissed my lips deeply, and worked her way down to my neck. We smiled made out a bit longer. I could feel my cheeks getting hot, as they got red. I was blushing, this was my first hickey. Well Ben had given me hickeys before, but none of them were enjoyable. I always had to act like it felt good, but really it hurt. Ali knew how to do it the perfect way. It made me quiver with delight when she did it. I rested my head on her shoulder and turned it slightly to start kissing her neck again.
She stood and pulled me to the bed and told me to lie down. I did as she said, and she told me to close my eyes, following directions, I gave her a smug look before gently letting my eye lids shut. I felt her newly polished nails against my stomach as she began to tickle lightly. I giggled rolling around on the bed and he climbed on to kiss me on the forehead.
"Come on," She stopped the love fest with a wink. "The girls will be wondering where we went." She said, I stood and followed her out the door.
