This is a drama, and that is exactly what this chapter is. Be prepared.
Spencer went to walk the girls out to Hannah's car and on her way back to the door of her home she heard a rustle in the bushes.
"Hello?" she whispered into the darkness. "Is there anybody there?"
Spencer heard the rustle again. This time a branch cracked. There was no way that it could be a small animal. Someone was watching her.
On the inside of the house Emily was watching a show that had been on the television. She was showing no interest it was just something that occupied her time while she waited for Spencer. Emily's phone beeped notifying her that she had a text. She opened it not expecting a text from A.
"Spencer should really be careful. Doesn't she know what darkness brings? Me bitch.-A"
After reading the text Emily found her heart ready to beat out of her chest. Then she heard it, the heart breaking ear shattering scream. It came from outside. She ran out as fast as she could clad in only her pajamas. She looked around calling Spencer's name worried out of her mind. When she got to the side of the house she saw a dark figure jumping the fence. She looked around knowing Spencer was there somewhere. Emily went over to the shrubs on the side of the house. She saw a nimble hand poking out of one of the bushes and she quickly dropped to her knees finding the body connected to it. There she was, all of the color drained out of her. Blood trickled from her head just above her eye. Emily called her name out in a panic. She was scared her girlfriend had died. She grabbed Spencer's hand and then a moan came from the small body that lay just an inch from her. She quickly got a grip on Spencer's hand and pulled until Spencer's body was free. When Emily got a full body check on her girlfriend she realized that her head was not the only problem. She lifted Spencer's shirt and saw bruises already forming on her rib cage. There was a huge gash on her stomach just before the hem of her pants.
"Oh my god, Spencer." Emily breathed out "Spence, babe open your eyes, look at me. Come on."
Spencer's eyes fluttered trying to open them to obey her girlfriends command. She finally got them to open and she looked up at Emily. "Uuhhhhhh" She groaned. "Em?"
"I'm here Spence. What happened?" She asked pulling Spencer up so she could get her inside the house.
"I heard something, and they jumped out and grabbed me. They slammed me against the fence and kicked me when I fell to the ground. I tried to fight back but then they pulled out a knife. I can't remember anything else. It all happened so fast." Spencer was sobbing into the raven haired girl now.
"Shh. I know baby…" Emily looked her girlfriend over again. "I think you need to go to the hospital."
"No Em. I can't. I'll be fine. We are lucky my parents weren't here when it happened. Nobody needs to know about this other than us and the girls."
"Well, at least let me fix you up. You need your open wounds cleaned, and a lot of ice. I'm going to get you something to take for the pain." Emily jumped up and ran to get Spencer what she needed, came back, and started working on her patient.
"Alright babe. I'm done" Emily stated after fifteen minutes of playing doctor.
"Okay, can we go to bed? I'm worn out and I really just want you to be with me." Spencer asked.
"Yeah of course. I'm so sorry I wasn't there to help you."
"I'ts okay. You did help me."
They went up the stairs to Spencer's room and got into the bed. Emily let Spencer get comfortable and slid in behind her. She was very careful not to hurt her in any way, so she just cuddled up against her back and placed her hand on Spencer's hip.
"thank you" she heard Spencer whisper.
"for what?"
"Just being here. I wouldn't have been able to get up if you weren't here."
"Of course I'm here. I would never leave you there. You are safe now. No one will hurt you here." Emily said as she heard Spencer's breathing even out and become softer.
It was the middle of the night and Emily felt the bed move, and small whimpers coming from her girlfriend.
"Spence?" Emily asked into the darkness.
"Emily... Emily I feel like I cant breath, help me." Spencer managed to get out in between gasp for air.
"Spence you have to calm down and get you breathing back to normal. shhh. focus on your breathing." Emily breathed in and out with Spencer until she was breathing normally again. after she was sure Spencer was calm she asked her what else was wrong.
"My ribs, and my head is pounding" Spencer said looking at Emily with pain in her eyes.
"Okay did the medicine that I gave you work last night work?" Emily asked trying to come up with a way to vanish the brunettes pain.
"A little."
"I'm going to get that really quick okay. Just hang on a second." Emily went down stairs and got the high grade pain killers she found in the cabinet. When she went to go back upstairs she heard the door open.
"Emily, hello how are you? Is everything okay?"
"Oh yes Mrs. Hastings, I just have a huge headache and my shoulder is a bit achy today." Emily looked at the clock. Two thirty in the morning? That's crazy how does she work like that?
"Okay, just let me know if you need anything else. I'm exhausted and I think I'm about to go to bed I'll see you in the morning." Veronica replied, trudging through the kitchen.
Emily took two steps at a time to get up the stairs faster. She went into Spencer's room to a sweaty Spencer that looked pale and pitiful.
Emily slowly got up next to the brunette and put a hand on her shoulder to get her spacey girlfriends attention. "Hey you, I got you some medicine. Come here." Emily said pulling Spencer up into her lap to envelop her girlfriend into a small hug just to calm her down.
Spencer took the medicine and laid back down with her head on Emily's chest listening to the taller girls heart beat. Emily slowly tracer her fingers through Spencer's hair and waited for her girlfriend to fall asleep.
"I think I love you Spencer Hastings." Emily whispers into the void of darkness.
She jumped when she heard a response, "I think I love you too Emily fields."
Emily pulled Spencer up and kissed Spencer passionately before returning to her previous position. they both smiled ear to ear and drifted off to sleep together.
