So I've kept my promise of updating before the premiere.
I just want to thank you guys for your reviews, especially SpencerFan. I love reading what you have to say.
This story keeps changing as I write it because I get new ideas or because I feel like my original idea doesn't sound right or even that I'm just not sure how to write something. For instance, I was planning on writing a more intimate scene between these two, but I felt like it would come off as meaningless and immature since my writing skills aren't that great. But I hope this was alright and it's not the end.
"What do you mean?"
"I love you." Emily lifted her head. "I love you Spencer and I want us to be more than just friends. I want us to be together. Together, together. The thing is, I've never really pursued anyone other than Alison. With Maya and Toby, even Paige, they worked so hard to make things work, even when I treated them terribly. I don't want a relationship like that. I want to work for another person's love for once. You've always been there for me, taking care of me. I want to do that for you. I want to stare at you for long periods of time at a school dance - it was hard not notice that, by the way - just to make sure you're safe. I want to plan a romantic, candle-lit evening in your bedroom. I want to 'destroy' any girl who makes a rude comment about you. I want to do the things that you've been doing for me all this time; all the wonderful, and borderline crazy, things."
Spencer laughed. "You bring out the best in me, and sometimes the worst." Emily's words reverberated in her head and made her feel as though nothing else mattered. Nothing could ruin this feeling. Her eyes slowly fell to Emily's lips. She wanted to feel them against her skin, now more than ever before. Her body tingled as jolts of adrenaline pumped through her body. She swallowed her sudden nervousness away and continued, "but I think you should know, I'm already in love with you Emily. Whether you like it or not, I'm already yours."
Emily smiled and then, as if she had read Spencer thoughts, planted a light kiss on her neck. Spencer closed her eyes and moaned softly. Encouraged, Emily continued a trail of kisses up to her slightly parted lips, where she stopped and hovered for a moment to compose herself.
Feeling Emily's warm breath entwine with hers, Spencer leaned in and took control.
This kiss was unlike their previous ones. It was sweeter. Softer. It was more tangible. Knowing that what they had was real, true love made this kiss superior. It was that kind of kiss that you see in movies. The kind that makes the camera spin.
Spencer leaned her forehead into Emily's and looked into those chocolaty brown eyes, in which she felt she could be lost forever. "These past two days have been far from conventional, but they've also been two of the most amazing days of my life."
"Really?"
"Yes." Spencer smiled. "Sure, having your mom walk in on us was pretty nightmarish, not to mention her trying to move you out of Rosewood really sucks, but none of that matters right now."
"Doesn't it though? When she realizes where I am she's going to drag me out of here, willing or not. I seriously think she's gone crazy ever since she caught us on my bed."
Spencer's smile faded. "Don't worry. We'll figure something out."
Those two simple sentences put Emily at ease. She trusted Spencer completely and was certain that she was formulating some sort of plan as they spoke. Spencer was extraordinary like that.
"What do you think your mom would say if you moved in with Hanna?"
"She'd say no. She doesn't want me hanging out with any of you guys anymore."
"Right, but that's irrational and she'll realize this soon enough. Uprooting you for a year will not only negatively affect your academics, but your swimming as well. We all know that you're going to get some amazing swim scholarship, but if you leave Rosewood you'll miss some important meets. College scouts won't see you. If your mom really wants what is best for you, for your future, she will let you - did you hear that?"
"Hear what?"
"A knock." Spencer reached for a towel under the sink and wrapped it around Emily. "It's probably Hanna and Aria." She walked out of the bathroom and headed towards the door. Opening it, she found Hanna and Aria. Mrs. Fields was standing behind them.
"Spencer, I'm sorry. She said she was going to call the cops," Aria explained.
"Where's my daughter?" Pam yelled as she reached her arm over Aria to push the door open the rest of the way. Emily had stepped out of the bathroom to see what was going on, allowing them all to see her standing there in nothing but a towel.
Mrs. Fields pushed her way through the girls and stepped into the motel room. "I - I don't even want to know. We are leaving for Texas, right now!" She grabbed Emily by the arm and tried leading her towards the door, but Emily pulled herself away.
"No, mom! I'm not letting you do this to me!" She lowered her voice to say, "I love Spencer and I'm not leaving her. I don't care what you do, but I'm not leaving."
Mrs. Fields looked from Emily to Spencer and then back to Emily. "Your father called this morning. He is being sent back to Afghanistan. For God's sake, Emily. If he knew of what you've been doing, it would break his heart."
"Mom, is this true?"
"Yes, unfortunately. He leaves tomorrow. Now listen, I'm willing to forget about what you've done, for now, as long as you come with me so we can drive to Texas and say goodbye."
"Alright," Emily agreed immediately. She went into the bathroom to put her clothes back on, leaving Pam alone with Spencer, Aria, and Hanna.
"I want you girls to understand that I only want what's best for my family. I would appreciate it if you let Emily have some space. I still plan to move us to Texas and therefore I think it's best to distance yourselves now rather than later."
The three girls stood there feeling utterly powerless. The room remained silent until Emily came out of the bathroom and grabbed her belongings. "Can I have minute?" she asked her mother.
"Sure. I'll be in the car."
"You'll be back, right Em?" asked Hanna.
"Of course. I'll only be gone a few days."
"Your mom said you're still moving," said Aria.
"I'm going to talk to her."
"Dammit, Emily! You can't leave us," Hanna said and quickly wrapped her arms around Emily as if she planned to never let go. Aria joined in by wrapping one arm around Emily and the other around Hanna.
Hanna looked at Spencer. "Get over here."
"You guys are a bunch of dorks," Spencer said, but she gave in and spread her arms wide enough to embrace her three friends.
Hearing a car horn coming from outside the motel, the girls released each other.
Emily looked to Spencer. "This isn't goodbye. I'll do whatever it takes to make sure I come back so we can make this relationship work. This is me working for you. I'll see you guys soon." She casually kissed her girlfriend and walked out the door.
Emily threw her stuff in the back seat of her mom's car and then settled herself in the passenger seat.
Pamela looked at her daughter. "I really do love you, Emily. I'm sorry that things have turned out this way." She sighed and continued, "Your father doesn't deserve to hear any bad news before he leaves, so we won't be mentioning any of this to him. Understood?"
Spencer, Hanna, and Aria walked out of the motel room and waved at Emily. Emily waved back.
"Yeah. Understood."
