Pretty Little Lovers Untamed

Author's Note: Alison makes me so mad sometimes. I wish she wasn't so pretty!

Chapter 6

Hanna listened to Alison give Emily a half-assed goodbye and then watched her best friend lean against the bookcases and cry. She fought with her options. She had just watched her missing-and-presumed-dead ex-bestfriend get her best-friend off in the floor of the library. Didn't that make her some kind of freak? Listening to Emily moan had actually made her heart speed up a little. Didn't that make and even BIGGER freak? Something was definitely wrong with her. Her boyfriend was outside in the parking lot waiting to take her home and she had just been kneeling in the floor watching Alison and Emily have lesbian sex.

What she SHOULD have done was leave. The fact that Emily had met Alison here when she'd told her friends that she had family obligations meant that she lied. The fact that she'd met Alison at ALL meant she'd been hiding something big from the girls. Hanna was freaking out enough with the realization that Alison was actually ALIVE, and aparently Emily had known about that for a while and hadn't thought to tell the others. Or had thought to tell the others and had decided not to. She was in more ways than one betraying her friends. Plus, she was in a sexual relationship with Ali and Hanna was pretty sure that Alison wasn't even gay. Because what the HELL? She just said "You were good" and left? Who does that?

Hanna should have left. She should have gone home and left Emily to deal with her own romantic issues. But she didn't. She cared way too much about the girl to just leave her there. Still, she was pretty pissed. She got up, walked around the book case partitioning her from Emily and then came to stop in front of the girl.

"How long has this been going on Em," she asked. "You and Ali been having sex for a while.. Or?"

Emily's eyes widened. Hanna was the absolute last person she'd expected to see that night. But she was totally relieved that it wasn't A and so she threw herself into Hanna's arms. "Did you see that?" she said, her voiced drenched with tears, "I'm so sorry you saw that.. I don't know what's going on.. She just did that and I.. I.." She started sobbing then, into the front of Hanna's dress.

The blonde wanted to be mad, but she couldn't. She embraced Emily lovingly and held her. Maybe it was totally weird that she'd just watched Alison get Emily off, but she didn't care about that at the moment- she just wanted Emily to feel okay again. She took a deep breath. "I don't know what the hell is going on," she said, "But it's okay. I'm here." She rubbed Emily's back slowly. They'd been through a lot together, and she wasn't about to abandon her now. "Lemme take you home."

"I drove here," Emily replied, her voice all small and pathetic.

"So I'll drive your car. Caleb is in his car. He can go home and I'll take you home and we can talk. I can stay over too. We could watch movies or something. Okay?"

Emily lifted her face and looked into Hanna's icy blue eyes. "Why are you so nice to me?" she asked.

Hanna shrugged. "I mean, I feel like it would take a hell of a lot more effort to be mean to you." She grinned and then squeezed Emily. "C'mon. What I saw tonight here has forever scarred me and will keep me out of the library for a long time. I need to get outta here."

Emily blushed. She knew it had to have been weird to witness what Hanna had just witnessed. She hoped she wasn't there for all of it. She wondered how Hanna had known to come at all but she figured she'd wait and ask her once they were back at her house. She followed her back out the janitor's back office door and thought of Alison. Her stomach tied itself in a knot and she felt confused and upset simultaneously.

The two girls made it to the parking lot and Caleb saw them before they saw him. Hanna had her arm around Emily and Emily looked pretty shaken up. He sighed. He hated it, but he was actually worried about Emily. He DID care about the girl and it wasn't just because Hanna cared about her. Even though Hanna cared about her A LOT. Sometimes he thought about how much longer he had with Hanna before completely lost her.

Caleb got out of his car and walked up to them. "Hey, what's going on?"

Emily searched her brain quickly for a story to tell Hanna's boyfriend. He knew about A but she absolutely did not want him to know about Alison. "I forgot my english text book here and so I came to get it.. But.."

"But some guy was already here and he attacked her in the hallway!" Hanna quickly provided. She was quick on her feet when it came to lies. She got a lot of practice hanging out with Mona. Mona was such a bad influence, honestly.

"What!?" Caleb's eyebrows shot up his forehead. "Who was it? Do you want me to call the cops?"

"Oh, he got away," Hanna said.

"I didn't see his face," Emily frowned at him.

Caleb felt kind of like he was being played but their story was kind of seamless so he couldn't prove it or anything. He rubbed the back of his neck. "Well, next time don't come here alone, I guess. One of us would be happy to come with you. Han said you were spending time with family tonight?"

"Oh," Emily bit her lip. "My mom ended up having to go see my aunt at the last minute. So I stayed home and studied. That's when I realized I forgot my history book."

"Didn't you say that it was your English book?" Caleb asked, tilting his head to one side.

"English history," Hanna said. "We're studying the history of the English language right now in Fitz' class." Caleb wasn't in their class so she didn't have to worry about him catching her in a lie.

He cleared his throat. "Oh.. Okay." He was kinda suspicious but he swallowed the feeling and said, "So what are you two gonna do?"

"I'm gonna drive Emily's car home," Hanna said. "She's all shaken up and she needs some girl time. You go ahead and go home. I'll call you later, 'kay?" She walked up to him and kissed him quickly on the lips.

He pushed the jealousy rising in his chest back down. "Okay." He got back into his car and drove off without another word.

Hanna held the door open for Emily and waited for her to get in before she headed to the driver's side and climbed in too. "He was right about you not coming here by yourself though," Hanna said, and started Emily's car once Emily gave her the keys. "It's dangerous. Something totally terrible could have happened, Em. It could have been A."

"But it wasn't," Emily said, "it was Alison."

"Yeah," Hanna shook her head. "Which isn't much better. At least she's alive, I guess."

Emily stared down at her hands. "I don't understand what happened tonight.."

"You met up with Ali and Ali fucked you on the floor of the library. By the way, ew. Not the sex thing, even though that was totally weird to watch.. But the library floor. You are getting out of those close as soon as we get back to your house." She cleared her throat when she realized how that sounded. "I mean, you're changing. The library floor is absolutely disgusting. I'm changing too. I hugged you. We're both gross now."

"Okay," the brunette responded. "I might take a shower. I feel kinda weird."

"So do I," Hanna said. And pulled onto Emily's street. "I love you and everything Em, but listening to you moan while Ali had her.. Had her hand in your pants.."

Emily shook her head, "Stop. I know. I'm sorry. That had to have been a little weird."

"A little?" Hanna laughed. "I mean.." She bit her lip remembering it. It hadn't been totally bad. It had sounded pretty good actually, and that scared her. Not Ali's name coming out of Emily's mouth, but the rest of it. Emily moaning... Emily sighing.. Emily not wanting it to stop. She shook her head.

"What?" Emily looked at her friend. "Go ahead and say whatever you want to say. I can take it. I know you're upset that I've known about Ali and not told you. So go ahead and say what you want to say. I was gonna wait til we got back to ask you but I don't even know why you were there. How did you know I was there?"

"I saw you parked outside of the High School. I knew you were hiding something and I called you and you didn't answer so I had Caleb drive me around so we could look for you. We'll talk about the Ali being alive and you not telling us later. She was kind of a bitch to you afterwards and I just wanna make you feel better."

Emily remembered her phone was in the glove compartment and got it out. She had a missed call from Hanna and one from her mom. She held the phone in her hands and waited until Hanna pulled to a stop in front of her house. Then the two of them got out of the vehicle and went inside. Hanna followed Emily to her room and then sat down on her bed while Emily got some clothes out of her closet to change into after her shower.

"It totally grossed you out though didn't it?" Emily asked. "I mean the sex."

Hanna licked her lips. She didn't know what to say really. So she just said what was really on her mind, "That it was you and Ali? Yeah that was kinda gross. She basically tortured us when she was alive, or whatever. So I don't know how you could actually get into her.. Getting into you. I know you had some crush on her and so I guess that makes sense but you deserve better than Ali. I care about her. We all do. We all wanna know what happened to her and figure out why she's gone missing, I guess since she's not really dead. But even if I pity her for getting herself into a situation where she had to fake her own death, and I know that like practically everyone in Rosewood wanted to be her or get with her BEFORE she faked her death, I still don't think she's good enough for you Em."

Emily blinked at Hanna. She held her clothes in her hands and really looked at Hanna. Had she really just said all of that? Now she had so many questions. But the one that was at the front of her mind spilled out of her mouth. "It just grossed you out that it was me and Ali though? Not that.. That you just witnessed me having sex with a girl?"

"Well," Hanna stood back up. "I don't really like the thought of you with another girl at all really." She twisted some of her blonde hair around her finger. She didn't have any idea what she was trying to say. "I mean.. I don't mind that you're a lesbian. I just.. I don't want you with anyone."

"What?" Emily stared at Hanna. "I really don't understand.."

"I mean unless it was me or something," Hanna said. And then instantly she clamped her hand over her mouth and mumbled, "Oh my God, did I just say that?"

Emily's mouth fell open. About a thousand different thoughts started tumbling around her mind and she had no idea what to say, so she just backed up towards her bathroom. "I'm going to.. To take a shower, okay?"

Hanna nodded slowly. "Yeah.. Yeah you shower. I'll.. Just wait here." She waited for Emily to go into the bathroom and close the door, and then she said to herself, "What the hell Hanna? Where did that come from?"
