Finally: - Chapter 6

Two days later Emily was allowed to leave the hospital, the girls had eventually found out about the accident and insisted on coming to visit the brunette as soon as she was out of the hospital. Emily had told that they didn't need to but when did they ever listen?

"Emily Fields, where the fuck are you?" Hanna shouted as she walked into Ali's house without even knocking.

"In the living room." A faint voice shouted. Hanna ran in and stopped as soon as she saw Emily.

"Damn, you look like shit." She said without any hesitation.

"Hanna, shut up. You'd look like that if a car drive into you as well." Spencer said as she hit Hanna.

"Ouch, sorry." The blonde whispered.

"We're glad you're okay, Em." A small and very pregnant brunette said, Emily only smiled at the girl's statement.

"So, how's the bump?" Emily and Alison said in sync as Ali walked in from the kitchen; all four of the girls smiled as the blonde who walked in. Emily and Alison were definitely trying to avoid the subject of who caused the accident but they also cared very much for the small brunette.

"It's doing good." Aria said as she looked down and smiled at her bump.

"And how are you doing?" Ali continued as she sat down beside Emily.

"I'm fine, I just feel like an over stuffed turkey." Aria said with a huff. "I can't wait for this baby to vacate the premises." The girls laughed at Aria's statements, they knew she loved being pregnant but she was due any day now and was having enough.

After a few minutes of comfortable silence, Spencer's curiosity got the better of her.

"Em, who did this to you?" Emily quickly looked at Ali who was already looking at her; they understood each other without words.

"I… I don't know, the person drove away and hasn't been caught by the police yet." Spencer looked down at Aria and then over at Hanna; all three of them knew that Emily was lying and Emily and Ali could tell they knew.

"That's bullshit-" Hanna quickly said.

"Hanna." Spencer and Aria interrupted the blonde.

"What? I thought we agreed on no more lies and secrets. Clearly you two are keeping something a secret and are now lying about it."

Hanna was clearly becoming agitated but she was right; they did agree on that after everything with A was over.

5 years ago.

As the police car drove away with Cece or Charlotte in the back the girls felt a sense of freedom and relief that they hadn't felt in years. A was finally locked away for good and nothing could make their lives hell again; they were really free. The girls came together into a hug.

"It feels good to be free again." Spencer said as they pulled away. All the girls nodded and smiled in agreement.

"Let's promise each other that from now on we will never lie or keep any secrets from each other again." Hanna said.

"Promise." All the girls said in unison with bright smiles on their faces that they hadn't seen since A appeared.

"Hanna, I- uh…" Emily wanted to tell the girls but she just couldn't risk their lives as well, Paige is dangerous and unpredictable.

"What, Emily?" Hanna said raising her voice. Emily filled with silence, nothing would leave her mouth.

"I'm leaving." The blonde said as she got up and slammed the door behind her.

"She'll get over it." Aria said a few minutes later breaking the silence.

"And I'm sure you'll tell us the truth when you're ready." Spencer followed with a supportive smile.

Emily nodded, and Ali gave the two girls a grateful smile.

"We better go after her." Spencer said as her and Aria began to leave. Emily and Alison both knew that wasn't why they were leaving but they thought that would be the best thing to do right now.

"We really need that vacation." Emily said as Ali sat back down beside her after locking the door.

"I wish we could but a certain someone is stopping us."

"What?" Emily said with a confused expression. Alison sighed as she remembered she hadn't told Emily about the text she got beside the food truck.

"When we were talking about Paris, I got a text saying that we can't leave or she would hurt you."

"Ugh!" Emily shouted in frustration. "I hate her! She ruining my life." Emily said as a tear streamed down her face. Ali gently rubbed it away with her thumb and gently moved the brunettes head to face her. It's not like Emily was wrong, slowly Paige was beginning to tear up her life; she was threatening her and Ali's lives, she was causing arguments between all the girls and she nearly killed Emily.

"Hey, look at me. We'll get through this, I promise and then we'll move to Paris forever." Ali said as she mirrored Emily's smile which appeared as she heard the last few words.

"Promise?"

"Yeah, I promise." Ali said as she kissed the brunette.

"I think it's time we report Paige to the police." Alison nodded in agreement.

"Let's go."

The police station was very busy for such a small town. Ali couldn't see further than a few inches in front of her but she knew the police station layout of by heart as did Emily. They slowly and carefully made their way through the maze made of people until they reached the main desk.

"I'd like to speak to Detective Gibson." Alison said to a police officer who seemed free. He quickly disappeared and a few minutes later returned.

"Follow me." He said without even making eye contact, it seemed as though he knew exactly who Alison was and was scared of her; the blonde and brunette definitely picked up on that. He did seem familiar, Alison admitted to herself. Then it hit her; she made him do all her homework for her in high school and threatened him when he didn't. She didn't even know his name, she only remembered the awful nickname she appointed him.

"Miss DiLaurentis, Miss Fields, how may I help?" The detective said as he stood up from his desk.

"We believe we have some information on who caused my accident." Emily quickly said. The brunette hated the police station for obvious reason, the memories it brought back still haunted her and so she wanted this over as quickly as possible.

"Let's go somewhere quieter." The detective said as he led them to an interrogation room.

"So, what information do you have?" Gibson said as he pulled out a pen from his pocket.

"We believe that it is Paige McCullers who caused the accident. She has been sending me texts threatening Emily."

"Can I see the texts?" Ali nodded and handed the detective her phone.

"How do you know it's Paige if they have been sent from an unknown number?" The detective said with a confused tone. Emily and Alison explained the full story to him as he took notes.

"Why are you just coming forward right now?"

"We were scared." Emily said.

"Paige is unpredictable and we didn't know how us going to the police would affect her." Ali quickly added.

"Okay. I'm going to need to take your phone into evidence to see if we can trace the number back to her." Ali nodded as the detective put her phone in an evidence bag from his pocket.

Suddenly the phone buzzed in his hand. He looked up at Emily and Alison who were already looking at each other in fear.

"Is going to the police really a good idea? Watch out Emily, I'm coming for you. Again."
