Thank you guys so much for sticking with this story and for all the reviews! You guys are amazing.

The next morning Aria wanted nothing more than to lie in bed and stay there forever. The thought of seeing Spencer at school seemed unbearable. She quickly texted Emily and begged her to take her to school instead of having to ride with her ex. Emily quickly agreed and told her to be ready in 30 minutes.

Aria sat up and stretched, she quickly gathered her morning bag and trudged into the bathroom and turned the shower water on as hot as it would go. She let the warm water cascade of her body, hoping it would wash all the hurt away. Being in the shower and washing her hair with her cherry conditioner she was left alone with her thoughts for the first time since she found out.

Spencer cheated on her

Spencer cheated on her.

Spencer that promised her the world. Spencer that she wanted to spend the rest of her life with, which had honestly been unrealistic because let's face it, they were only in high school. Spencer her told her she was beautiful and drove her to school and looked at her like she was the only girl in the world. Her Spencer.

Why?

Was she just not good enough? Was Jessica prettier? Smarter? Funnier? More attractive?

Sure, last night Aria had been furious beyond belief but now that all the pure hatred for Jessica and anger towards Spencer was gone, all the was left was a crushing sadness that made her want to burst into tears. Shaking her head, Aria turned off the scolding water and got ready for school. She considered trying that whole 'show 'em what they're missing' thing but Aria shook her head and threw on some dark blue jeans and a rosewood high hoodie.

Aria smiled, this was pretty much the exact things she'd worn when Ezra had broken up with her. She smiled at the memory of Spencer coming into her room with Chinese food and magazines, telling her that she simply had to go to homecoming anyway and she could share her date, Alex. Aria shook her head and fought the urge to laugh when she remembered just how jealous she'd been of the boy.

Aria was pulled out of her thoughts when she heard Emily's car horn from outside. She grabbed her bag and raced down the stairs, and waving goodbye to her father.

She raced to the passenger's seat and was met with the concerned eyes of her best friend, Emily Fields.

"Hey Ar, how are you feeling this morning?" Emily asked carefully, reaching over and taking one of Aria's hands.

"I think I'm doing better. Well, at least better than last night. It still hurts so much Em, like I can't even think. I have no idea how I'm going to handle seeing her at school today." Aria answered honestly.

She was entirely sure why she didn't mind Emily holding her hand, she actually like it… What? Liked it? No, she was heartbroken over Spencer, she was just seeking comfort and Emily was there, she definitely didn't have feelings for Emily.

"We'll get through it together." Emily promised, offering the smaller girl a small smile before driving off to their high school where drama awaited.

When they arrived at school Emily walked close to Aria, making sure that they avoided any awkward run-ins with Spencer.

"Aria!" A voice called from down the hall

Of course luck was never on their side.

Aria froze and slowly turned around. She would know that voice anywhere; after all, it was the most beautiful sound in her world, even now.

"Aria you don't have to talk to her." Emily whispered in warning, trying to tug the small girl away from Spencer.

"No I want to Em." Aria reassured her, giving her a pointed look.

By this time Spencer had walked over and was now walking over to the two of them. She was studying the dark circles underneath her ex girlfriends eyes and immediately felt horrible, knowing that she was the cause for the girl's lack of sleep.

"Are you okay?" Spencer asked quietly, not taking her eyes off of the hurting girl in front of her.

Aria opened her mouth to answer but was cut off by Emily.

"Like you even care Spencer? And what the hell kind of question is that? She's obviously not okay. I mean would you be? If your girlfriend cheated on you?" Emily spat out, anger coloring her voice.

"Whoa Em, if I remember correctly, I asked Aria not you. And what the hell? This is between me and Aria so why are you acting like you're the one I cheated on?" Spencer fired back defensively. Yeah, Spencer knew that she screwed up but who was Emily to judge her?

"Whoa guys calm down. Em, go to class. I'll meet you there okay? I won't be long." Aria said quickly trying to diffuse the rising tension between the two friends.

Emily gave Aria a curt nod and Spencer a glare mixed in with a warning look before walking to her first period.

"Look Aria we need to talk. And not in the hallways of this school okay? I know that I really fucked up and I don't think I'll ever forgive myself for hurting you like this and I'm sorry but I love you and I can't just let you go." Spencer rushed out, she whispered in Aria's ear, trying not to be overheard.

Aria nodded

"I'm hurt Spence. I never thought you would do something like this to me. I can't stop blaming myself for you cheating on me and that's so messed up but I do still love you. I mean it's only been like a day, that's not nearly enough time to fall out of love." Aria rambled.

"Look let's talk after field hockey practice okay? We can go to my place and then I'll drive you home." Spencer suggested.

"Oh um, Em was going to give me a ride home after practice but I can have her drop me at your house" Aria said awkwardly.

She wasn't sure why she felt awkward about telling Spencer that their mutual best friend was giving her a ride home, it had never been a big deal before, why would it be now? But somehow everything felt different now.

Spencer scoffed "Of course she is"

"What is that supposed to mean?" Aria fired back defensively.

Spencer rolled her eyes "Come on Aria you can't be that oblivious."

Aria just stared at her blankly.

"Oh my god you really don't know." Spencer said, shocked.

"Don't know what?" Aria asked frustrated.

"That Emily is in love with you. She's been waiting for me to screw up so she could steal you from me." Spencer explained bitterly.

"Whoa first of all, I'm no longer 'yours' and second of all don't you dare blame Emily for you being such a screw up. You know what? Emily was right; I shouldn't even be talking to you right now. Bye" Aria fumed away off to first period to see Emily, her best friend who was not in love with her.

Well it's a little short but it's an update. Sorry for the delay, I'll try to be a lot better about updating. So Emily and Aria are getting closer and Aria still loves Spencer obviously but they tried to work things out too soon and it didn't go so great. So what did you like/would like to see more of?
