Chapter 18
Spencer was itching to run, and so she changed into her running clothes and headed to the park to meet Emily. The other brunette was waiting for her on a park bench, but they didn't exchange any conversation when they saw each other. Both girls had a lot on their minds and really needed the run to get some of the tension out.
Aria was the only thing on Spencer's mind, and she constantly went over what had happened. Not just the sex, but the aftermath too. The cuddling had been amazing, and falling asleep in the smaller girl's arms had too. But finding her in the kitchen in her robe with Ezra had nearly torn Spencer apart. She hated to admit it, but her heart was tied to Aria. When she thought about Ezra and Aria getting back together, she felt her stomach churn. She wanted to pound her fists into Ezra's face, and Spencer wasn't even the violent type. She just couldn't handle the fact that she could completely lose Aria. And she definitely couldn't handle the fact that she may have to deal with seeing her get back with Ezra.
Emily's mind ping-ponged back and forth between Ali and Hanna. First she thought about how amazing it had felt to finally have Alison take her.. But then she thought about how terrible it had felt afterward, when she left quickly and then sent Emily a cold letter telling she had to choose. And then she thought about Hanna and how her body had bent at Emily's touch.. She thought about the way she'd sighed when Emily finally put her hand where Hanna needed it the most. And she thought about the way her body shook as she reached her orgasm. It made Emily's cheeks turn pink. Of course, it wasn't as simple as it seemed- it was either Ali and no Hanna, or Hanna and absolutely no Alison ever. There was a total ultimatum and Emily hated that.
When she and Spencer took a break and sat down on the park bench sipping water from their bottles, she stayed quiet until Spencer spoke.
"Can I have your advice?" The youngest Hastings daughter asked.
Emily nodded.
"Okay," Spencer licked her lips. She knew she needed someone's opiniong. She just didn't know how to go about getting it. "Hypothetically," she finally said, "If someone was in love with their best friend, but their best friend was still involved with their ex.. Should they wait around or just give up?"
Emily stared at Spencer. Did she know about her and Hanna and Alison? No. How could she? She took a deep breath. Spencer's situation, no matter how she came up with it, really hit home for her. She applied the example to her own situation and saw the direct parallel. Did she really expect Hanna to wait around until she made up her mind? She imagined Hanna going back to Caleb and felt jealousy swell up inside her. Then she thought about Alison leaving forever and none of them ever finding out what had happened to her and she felt her head start to hurt.
She told Spencer, "The storybook ending would be the best friend waiting around. But considering that the best friend is involved with their ex, the friend can't really be expected to wait around. It wouldn't be fair." She frowned and then said, "The best friend should find her own happiness, even if that means not being with the other person."
Spencer nodded. Emily was right. Of course she was. She drank from her bottle and then nodded. "Thanks Em," she smiled at her, but it was probably a really sad smile. At least that's what it felt like. She made up her mind then that she would stay away from Aria and let her make up her own mind.
