Chapter 3

Hanna smoothed down the front of her purple dress and spun an ankle in the mirror, checking the heel of her stilleto for any flaws. But it was perfect. She sighed. She should have been happier. Really. Honestly. She should have. Earlier at the cafe when Caleb needed help getting ready, she had gotten totally stoked and found his worry cute. But now.. She was having trouble thinking about Caleb and his cutness. Instead, she was thinking about Emily Fields.

Where was it that Emily had to go tonight? Or the last several Fridays? Something was up. Emily was involved with something shady and Hanna was the only one who had picked up on it. She picked up her phone and called her. But the phone just rang and rang and then went to voicemail.

"Han, Caleb's here," Ms. Marin said, poking her head into Hanna's bedroom. She noticed the worried look on Hanna's face. "Everything okay?"

Hanna shrugged. "I guess. It seems like something's up with Emily lately. And tonight she bailed on our slumber party and.."

"Didn't you bail too?" Ashley Marin responded. "To go on a date with Caleb?"

"Well, yeah," Hanna licked her lips. "But that doesn't matter. Me and Caleb are together, so it happens. Emily has been single since.. Since they found Maya. So what is it that she has to do? She said something about family but I'm pretty sure Ms. Fields is outta town. I drove Emily home earlier and her mom's car wasn't even there. It's weird."

"Maybe Emily has a secret girlfriend," Hanna's mom shrugged. "You shouldn't pry Hanna. If she wants it to be a secret what she's up to... Let her have that secret. She'll come to you when she's ready."

Hanna thought about that for a second. "Do you really think she has a secret girlfriend?" Hanna felt a little bit of jealousy swell inside of her. Hanna had an odd.. Protective hold on Emily. She was happy that she had found Maya.. But she couldn't lie to herself and say she was relieved that Emily hadn't dated anyone sense then. She deserved.. Well she deserved someone amazing. Someone that Hanna approved of. Not some secret girl that she had to hide.

"Maybe," Hanna's mom raised an eyebrow. "Why does that bother you so much?"

"I'm her BEST friend," Hanna said, "Why wouldn't she.. You know. Tell me?" She brushed past her mom anyway and headed downstairs and into the kitchen were Caleb was waiting. He'd worn a button up red shirt and black slacks just like she'd asked. His hair was pulled back into a tight ponytail. He leaned forward and kissed her when he saw her.

"You look really nice Hanna," he said. Then he nodded at Ashley who followed her daughter into the kitchen. "Hello Ms. Marin."

"Hello Caleb," she said. "You two have fun tonight."

Hanna kept thinking about Emily the entire night and even though Caleb made reservations at a fancy Italian resturant and ordered her food and everything, she just stayed wrapped up in her thoughts.

"Okay what gives?" he finally asked. "You've been really quiet. What's on your mind?"

Hanna looked down at her phone, hoping for a call-back from Emily or at least a text. But there was nothing. Hadn't she said she'd text when she was leaving the cafe earlier? "Emily is being weird," Hanna reluctantly said. She knew how Caleb felt about Emily.

He sighed. Emily was a nice girl and they were friends.. But Hanna and Emily had a really strange relationship and he wasn't as into girl-on-girl action as the rest of the male population was. He just sincerely hoped that his girlfriend wasn't cheating on him with her lesbian best friend. "What's up? How is she being weird?"

"She's hiding something. My mom thinks she has a new girlfriend or something. She told me and Aria and Spencer that she couldn't hang out because she had to be with her family but I think her mom's out of town. So where is she? We drove past her house on the way here and her car wasn't there."

"Maybe she's on a date," Caleb suggested. And he hoped it was true. If Emily got a new girlfriend, he could stop worrying about her winning his girlfriend over.

"Maybe," Hanna replied and sipped her Sierra Mist. "But I dunno. Usually Emily gets this glow about her when she's happy. And she doesn't have it. She just seems really anxious. Nervous. Maybe even scared. I don't know. Something's up."

Caleb ate the last breadstick and finished off his Coke. "Okay. If you're so worried about her, let's go look for her. Maybe she's at the library studying or something. Or maybe she's at school exercising."

"At nine at night?"

"Maybe." He wasn't in the best mood all of a sudden and kind of just wanted to get home. He had thought tonight would be romantic and sweet and maybe end with the two of them making out for a bit and him telling her that he loved her and vice versa. But he already knew that wasn't going to happen. He held the passenger side door of his car open and let Hanna get in first. Then he got in, revved up the engine and drove Hanna around downtown looking for Emily's vehicle. It didn't take long though. It was parked outside of the high school.

"Isn't that it?" Caleb asked and pointed through the windshield.

"Oh my god!" Hanna gasped. "What the hell is she doing here? The school's locked up. This could be bad Caleb. I have to go in there and save her. She could be in big trouble." She waited for him to park beside Emily's car and then she unbuckled her seatbelt.

"YOU have to go in there? Just you? Not me AND you?"

"Well I don't want to scare her with you showing up. I'll be safe. If anything bad happens I'll call you." She held up her iPhone with her bedazzled case. "I promise." She hopped out of the car without waiting for anymore of his arguing and headed to the front door. It was locked. She should have known that. She thought about it for a minute and then she remembered the back door that the janitors smoked through. She and Mona used to sneak through there to skip school. The door was opened just like she thought it would be. She knew her way around and got into the hallway of the school quickly and listened closely for noise. It was so silent for a minute, and then she heard something far off.. A girl's sigh.

Hanna followed the sound to the library and crept inside without any noise. Skipping school had taught her to be really sneaky. She heard the noise again. But this time it made her stomach flip. It wasn't just a sigh.. It was a moan. And it was Emily's. Her eyes widened and she moved closer to the source of it. Emily moaned again, and it was deeper and followed by a whimper. Hanna suddenly wanted to run back the way she'd come and pretend like she'd never found Emily there or anything. But her feet kept moving, as if they had a mind of their very own. She reached a shelf of books and she knelt and listened for a second to the heavy breathing of Emily and another girl. Hanna's eyes had adjusted to the light and she peered through the dusty books and through to the other side. Emily was on the floor, her shirt pushed half-way up her stomach, and another girl on top of her, her hand in Emily's pants, making the brunette squirm.

"Oh yeah," Emily huffed quietly, and now that Hanna was closer, she could hear it perfectly. "Yeah.. Don't stop Ali.."
