Chapter Three- Regrets.

Mona sits in her room crying; feeling terrible for what had happened only hours before. Knowing that Emily now hated her. There is a knock on Mona's bedroom door.

"Mona? Honey please come out of your room." Patricia Vanderwall says as she stands outside of her daughter's bedroom door.

"Go away." Mona says as she continues to cry.

Patricia sighs when she realizes her daughter won't be leaving her room for quite some time. She walks down the stairs and to the kitchen before looking at her husband. "I don't know what happened today. All I know is when I got home a beautiful young girl was here with Mona. But she stormed out in tears and Mona has been locked in her room since."

"Give her time honey." Eric says standing up and hugging his wife.

Mona looks at a picture of Emily in the year book and that's when the memory hits.

-Flashback-

Mona looks up from her book when she hears a knock on the door. Standing up she walks over and opens the door.

Mona looks at Emily in shock, after what happened last night she thought the swimmer didn't want to talk to her anymore. "Emily.. Um hey.. What are you doing here?"

"Can we talk?" Emily asks feeling impatient and nervous.

"Yeah sure. Come in." Mona says opening the door wider and looking at Emily worriedly.

Emily walks in and as soon as Mona shuts the door and turns toward her she pushes Mona gently up against the door and looks her in the eyes before gently cupping her cheek and kissing her. Mona gasps into the kiss in shock before wrapping her arms around Emily's neck and kissing her back. After a few minutes of kissing Emily pulls back and looks at Mona.

Clearing her throat Mona looks back at Emily, "What was that?"

"A kiss." Emily replies staring into Mona's eyes looking for any sign of regret or disgust.

"I know that I meant to say. What was that for?" She asks looking back at Emily with a blush.

"I think I'm in love with you." Emily replies.

Mona just stands there staring at Emily in shock; Did she really just say those words? The words I've been dying to hear?

"Mona?" Emily whispers afraid of the rejection she is sure to receive.

Finally breaking out of her shock she looks at Emily. "I don't know what to say."

Emily's eyes are quick to fill with tears. "Do you love me back or not?"

"I-I don't know." Mona whispers tears also filling her eyes.

Emily covers her mouth and backs away from Mona her tears finally falling. Mona takes a step forward only for Emily to move around her and open the door.

"This was a mistake!" She cries out before running out the door bumping into Mrs. Vanderwall, quickly apologizing she rushes to her car and hops in before speeding off.

"Mona?" Patricia says walking up to her daughter.

Mona breaks out in tears before running up to her room and slamming her door.

-End of Flashback-

When Emily makes it home she runs up to her room slamming the door shut and collapsing on her bed in tears. Pam fields slowly walks up the stairs and knocks.

"Emily? Honey what's wrong?" Pam asks worried about the young swimmer.

"I'm fine mom." Emily says back as she lays in bed crying.

Pam knowing something is wrong walks downstairs and picks up the phone calling Veronica Hastings knowing all the girls are still over there.

"Hello?" Veronica says as she answers the phone.

"Hello Veronica. Um are Spencer, Hanna, and Aria there?" Pam asks curiously.

"Yes the girls are actually in the kitchen with me right now Pam." Veronica says causing Aria, Hanna, and Spencer to stop talking and look at her.

"Do you think you can send them over? It's about Emily."

"Oh no. Is she okay? I can have the girls over right away." Veronica replies.

"I don't know she rushed into the house and up the stairs crying. She won't come out to talk to me or anything. I'm really worried." Pam says.

"I will send the girls over right away." Veronica says before hanging up the phone.

Aria, Hanna, and Spencer walk over right away upon hearing that question.

"Mom what is it? Is Emily okay?" Spencer asks suddenly feeling bad for how her and the other two had been treating Emily.

"Pam just told me that Emily rushed into the house a few minutes ago crying and ran up to her room. She won't leave the room to talk." Veronica tells her youngest daughter.

"We should go check on her." Aria says worriedly garnering nods from both Spencer and Hanna.

They are quick to leave the house and pile into Spencer's SUV. Spencer starts the car and drives off toward Emily's house. Once they arrive they all three rush up to the door and Hanna knocks impatiently until the door opens revealing Pam Fields.

"Hello girls. She's in her room." Pam says letting them into the house.

"Thanks Mrs. Fields." Spencer says before her, Aria, and Hanna run up to Emily's room.

Spencer tries to open the door only to realize that it's locked so she knocks. "Em open up!"

Emily sits up and is quick to wipe her eyes before climbing out of bed and walking over to the door unlocking it. She then opens the door before walking back to her bed and laying down again. Spencer, Aria, and Hanna enter the room and look at their best friend regretting being so rude to her about her talking to Toby.

"Em what's wrong?" Aria asks walking over and sitting on the bed next to the swimmer.

"I kissed Mona." She replies quietly.

Hanna gasps in shock. "Wait as in Mona Vanderwall? My best friend?"

Emily nods her head sadly. Spencer glares at Hanna to shut up before sitting on the other side of Emily and wrapping her arm around her.

"What happened?" Spencer asks softly.

"Well she kissed me back and when we pulled away she asked me why I kissed her. I told her because I think I'm in love with you. She was quiet for a while and when I said something she started talking again. She said she didn't know what to say, so I asked do you love me or not. She told me she didn't know and I ran off." Emily replies tears forming in her eyes again.

Aria, Hanna, and Spencer all three pull the swimmer in for a much needed hug. Emily allows them to pull her into a hug and cries as they hug her. After a few minutes they all pull away and look at each other.

"I'm so sorry." Spencer says.

"Yeah we shouldn't have flipped out on you about hanging with Toby." Hanna says agreeing with Spencer.

"He seems really nice and I'm glad he stood up for you when we were being bitchy." Aria says causing the other three to laugh.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you guys about hanging out with him." Emily says after they finish laughing.

Spencer smiles softly at the swimmer. "It's okay. I'm more angry with the fact that A told us instead of you."

"I really wanted to but I was scared of your reactions. You all think he killed Ali, but he didn't he really was still in that institute." Emily says looking at her comforter.

"We believe you. You know what. Invite him over!" Hanna says excitedly, practically bouncing in her seat.

"Whoa, Han calm down." Aria says laughing at the blonde.

Spencer and Emily also laugh at Hanna's excitement.

"What this way we can get to know him better!" Hanna continues excitedly.

"I can text him if you girls really want to hang out with him." Emily says curiously.

"Yeah that sounds good." Aria says smiling at the swimmer.

Emily smiles back and picks up her phone quickly before opening up her messages and sending a text off to Toby.

Hey Tobes come over. The girls wanna talk to you.-Em

Alright but only for you mermaid.-Toby

See you when you get here.-Em

See ya in ten.-Toby

"He is on his way." Emily tells the girls.

"So you like Mona?" Hanna decides to ask.

Emily looks down at her lap again. "Um yeah. But I guess it's safe to say she doesn't feel the same way."

"She would be stupid not to." Aria says laying a hand on Emily's shoulder.

A few minutes later there is a knock on Emily's bedroom door. Toby stands in the doorway with his usual side smile. "Hey Em your mom let me in."

Emily smiles at Toby and then stands up to hug him. "It's fine Tobes. Um Aria, Hanna, Spencer meet Toby." She says with a soft laugh at the end.

The other three girls introduce themselves also laughing, when Toby catches on he laughs as well. As they all go to sit down Emily's phone beeps. Picking up her phone she stares at a picture of her kissing Mona.

I told you to stay away from Mona. Now everyone will know.-A
