Hanna made her way down the steps of Emily's porch. "What the hell was that about," she wondered. She then rummaged through her purse and pulled out her phone to call Spencer.
Spencer answered, "Hey Hanna.."
"Hey Spence. Have you talked to Em lately?
"Not since yest-"
"-because I just went to her house and her mom said that they're moving to Texas! She said not to try calling or coming to their house ever again. Do you know what's going on? Did something happen to Mr. Fields?"
"No. Her dad is fine. Hanna, can you get Aria and meet me at my house? You both need to know the whole story."
"Thanks for coming you guys," Spencer said as she walked over and stood behind her kitchen counter. Hanna and Aria took a seat on the stools across from her.
Hanna just wanted to know what was going on. She was getting worried. "What's the deal Spence?"
"It all began yesterday after A sent me a picture; a picture of Emily and Paige, kissing-"
"-Hold on. Paige McCullers? The girl who was bullying Em?" Aria asked.
"Yes, that Paige," confirmed Spencer.
"Oh my gosh! Paige is a lesbian? Well, isn't that ironic," Hanna smirked, then remembered how serious this situation was, "go on Spencer."
Spencer looked at both of their faces, sighed, and said, "There's really no easy way of saying this, so I'm just going to say it. I'm in love with Emily."
Hanna and Aria gasped, but allowed Spencer to continue, "I've been denying it for so long. Then she came out and now she's kissing all these girls. When I saw that picture of her and Paige I was so enraged. At first I thought it was because of what Paige has done to Emily, but then I took the picture to show Em and that's when I realized exactly why I care so much about who she kisses. It's because I love her so much. Ultimately I just want her to be with someone who treats her right because I want her to be happy. Even more than that, I want to be with her. I want to be the one who makes her happy."
The three girls sat in silence for what seemed like an eternity. Hanna broke it as she started giggling. The girls looked at her, puzzled.
"Sorry. It just seems like everyone is becoming a lesbian these days. I feel like I missed the memo. I think this is great though, Spence. You and her will make such a cute couple."
"Hanna.." Aria rolled her eyes and then looked at Spencer, who remained as serious as ever. "So you went to her house, talked to her about the picture, and then what?"
"I kissed her. It was such an impulsive move. When she kissed me back things started progressing so quickly and we ended up on her bed. It wasn't until we both had our shirts off that her mom walked in."
"Oh god," Hanna and Aria said in unison.
"There was some yelling back and forth. Her mom is still so disillusioned. She probably thinks that moving to Texas is going to "cure" her from being gay," tears began forming in Spencer's eyes, "Poor Em.. this is all my fault.."
"We can't let Mrs. Fields take her away. We have to do something," Hanna announced desperately.
Spencer agreed, "My thoughts exactly. I just wish I knew what that something was."
