Thank you for your support, guys. After episode 3x11 I think "my Emily" and the real one are quite alike. xD
Here's another interesting chapter. And more Spencer, of course. LOL
ov4arenko: Thank you! Here's what happened with Jane.
dayabieberxo: I hate Jane too, you are not alone. Hahaha. I'm sure you will hate her even more. xD
: Thanks! I am glad you like the story.
Paige's POV
I wake up when I hear my cellphone is vibrating, I try to reach it, but I fail miserably. I open one eye and the light hurts me, lighting makes is really hard for my eyes to focus. I rise up from bed with a sense of confusion and a bad headache, my mouth is very dry, and I'm feeling dizzy.
I swear this is the last time I drink – I think to myself looking at the flask that is on my bedside table.
I don't know why the flask is in my bedroom, I don't remember bringing it to my room, but I guess it's possible I took it, because I don't remember everything that happened last night. The cellphone is on the floor, I bent down to pick it up and I see a text from an unknown number.
Hey! Do you remember me, beautiful? I'm Jane, the girl who got you drunk, your worst nightmare. Hahaha. I just want my flask back, it's a present from my sister, so it has a sentimental value. I am in room 212, I'll be waiting, although I don't know if you're alive. xD. See ya! ;)
That's all I needed, I don't want to see her again. I am not completely sure about what happened with her, because my memory is recovering, but I hope I didn't do anything stupid. I remember Emily brought me to my room and took care of me and that she confronted Jane in the club, but apart from that I'm clueless.
Sharon is still sleeping, she's snoring like a rhino, with her mouth wide open, but I am pretty sure she's the type of person that doesn't admit she does it. I don't want to wake her up, so I get clean clothes and I go to the bathroom to take a shower, I guess I need it so bad. I look in the mirror and my face is not as horrible as I thought it would be. I am sure that drinking a lot of water and eating the sandwich that Emily bought was a great idea. I take a long shower, the cold water touching my body feels so good, my head is not hurting like before. It's getting late, so I get dressed quickly and I take the flask with me. While I am walking down stairs I've got an idea, I can knock on her door, leave the flash in front of it and leave. I would rather do that, but I am adult, I have to deal with her. I'll just say hi, give her the flask, say goodbye to her nicely and leave. It's not so complicated and I have the guts to face this awkward moment courageously. I am standing at the door, I take a deep breath and I knock on the door. I hear her steps and I see the door opening.
"Hi, McCullers, how are you feeling, drunkard?" – she asks, smirking at me.
"Hi. I'm fine, thanks. Here's your flask, I didn't know I took it, I'm sorry." – I say shyly, with my eyes fixed on the ground.
"It's okay. So… I guess this is a goodbye." – she says, staring at me.
"Yeah." – I tell her.
She's making a move, she holds my hand, but I don't want this to happen, so I take a step backwards.
"Well… I guess you are into the other girl, the one who came to your rescue, so if someday you want to talk, or go to movies or go for a walk, just call me. By the way, I can assure you that girl doesn't deserve you, just so you know. Bye, Paige. – she says while she closes the door.
Okay, one problem solved. I can feel I am starving, so I make my way to the cafeteria, I need a delicious breakfast. I join my teammates and I eat like there's no tomorrow. Emily is not there, maybe she's sleeping, but she'll be sitting next to me in the bus, so it will give us the perfect chance to talk.
Emily's POV
"Wow, did you bring me breakfast? How thoughtful of you! You are a good teammate, Em." – Sharon tells me happily.
"Well… I got the breakfast for Paige, but she seemed to have other plans." – I tell her, frowning.
"What are you talking about?" – she asks, looking surprised.
"That blonde girl, Laura! I just saw them holding hands outside her room. I swear to God that if she slept with her, I won't forgive her." – I shout. I am really mad, I didn't expect Paige would do something like that, it's ridiculous.
"Calm down, Em. You left the club with her, she couldn't keep her balance, I don't think that really happened. It's practically impossible." – she says, soothing me.
"Then tell me why I saw Paige holding hands with that chick at 8 o'clock in the morning. It makes perfect sense, she was hurt and she took revenge on me." – I add, with a sad expression in my face.
"Em, talk to her, I don't think Paige did that to you. She was drunk, but she's madly in love with you." – she affirms.
"Okay, I'll talk to her. What time are we leaving? I want to leave this stupid hotel!" – I say angrily.
"In 20 minutes, but don't skip breakfast, Emily. I will go to the cafeteria, you can have the breakfast you brought. See you in a while!" – she tells me nicely.
"Okay, thanks, Laura. See ya." – I tell her.
I am hungry, so I eat "Paige's breakfast", I jump into the shower and I get dressed quickly. I look out the window, the bus is here, so I get my bag and I leave the hotel.
I get on the bus and I see Paige is already there, she looks at me and when she sees I'm looking she looks away.
Paige's POV
"Do you want the window seat? I don't mind sitting there." – I ask.
"No, it's okay." – she says, looking daggers at me.
I don't know why she's so mad. I suppose yesterday I must have told her something mean, because she's obviously pissed off. I'm trying to be nice after the fight we had yesterday, so I should be angrier, because I hated that stupid remark about Sean kissing me.
"Are you okay?" – I ask.
"Yeah." – she replies, frowning.
"Okay, Emily, I can see you are not okay, so spit it out. Did I say something hurtful yesterday, because I was drunk, you know." – I add, looking at her.
"Damn it? Are you kidding me? I know you slept with her, Paige! Do you think I'm stupid?" – she tells me furiously. I have never seen her so mad.
"Who are you talking about? Are you on drugs?" – I reply, pissed off because of her stupid accusation.
"That blonde girl, the one who was flirting with you, Paige. I saw you leaving her room this morning and you were affectionate with her." – she says, frowning.
"Emily, do you think I did that? The flask that she borrowed me was in my room, so she wanted it back. I went to her room to give her the damn flask. Don't be jealous." – I affirm.
"Jealous? Me? Come on, I just hate lies, and you are lying, so…" – she adds.
"I'm not, but… whatever. Actually, I should be the one who's mad, because I haven't forgotten what you told me yesterday." – I insist.
"It's no big deal, grow up, Paige." – she says, sighing.
Thank God my cellphone is vibrating, because I can't stand this conversation. It's a text from an unknown number.
Hey, can we talk? I'm sorry.
Who are you? - I reply.
Spencer.
Hastings, if you are bored find another girl to attack. I'm tired of you! – I text her.
Paige, it's important, please.
What's so important? Did your parents finally tell you that you are Satan's daughter? – I ask her, sarcastically.
Hahaha. How funny, McCullers! Okay, I really want to meet you. How about today at 6 pm?
Yeah, fine, but I won't have you insulting me. – I affirm.
Okay, see you later.
"Was that her?" – Emily asks, frowning.
"No, Emily, not that it matters anyway." – I tell her.
I didn't expect her being so jealous, I am the jealous one in this relationship. I don't know why Spencer wants to talk to me. Maybe Emily told her about "my affair" with Jane and she wants to create a ruckus, she loves telling people off.
The bus ride is taking forever, maybe because we haven't spoken and I have just finished the book I was reading. Luckily we are getting to Rosewood and I can see my mother is waiting for me. She waves at me excitedly and I wave her back smiling.
"Hey, champion, how are you?" – she ask while hugging me tightly.
"Hi, mom, I'm fine, but I'm a little bit tired. Can we go home?" – I ask her.
"Yeah, sure, honey. Emily, I can you give you a lift home." – my mom asks nicely.
"No, thank you, Mrs. McCullers. I'm waiting for my friends." – she says smiling at her. Then she looks at me in the eye with a serious face expression and when I stare at her she looks away.
"Okay, Paige, let's go, I know you are exhausted." – my mother says nodding.
Emily's POV
"Hey, Em, how was your weekend? We know the team won the race, congratulations!" – Aria says, euphorically.
"Yeah, thank you." – I add, not looking so happy.
"What is wrong? Is it because of Paige?" What happened, Em? Spit it out!" – Hanna says nervously.
"Everything was going great, we had dinner and everything was like before the kiss. We laughed, we flirted, it was perfect. But then I told her that my kiss with Nate was not big deal, that she did the same thing with Sean, and she got very angry." – I reply, in a desperate effort not to cry.
"Em, I thought that you two were not dating when Sean kissed her, but maybe I'm wrong." – Aria tells me, with her eyes wide open.
"Yeah, I know I made a mistake. We weren't dating when that happened, but I just wanted to minimize the importance of my kiss with Nate, and I screwed up the perfect dinner we were having. Then we went to a club with all our teammates and she spent all night with a blonde girl. She got very drunk and I decided to take her to her room. The next morning I saw her holding hands with the same girl before leaving her room, so I put two and two together and…" – I tell them, not being able to finish the sentence.
"Wow, way to go, Paige! Sorry, Em." – Hanna jokes.
"Did you ask her what really happened, Em?" – Aria asks me.
"Yeah, she told me a story about going to her room because she forgot to give the flask back to her. But I don't fall for the lame excuse, I don't think it happened that way. Anyway, this relationship is done, so I don't want to talk about it, girls." – I assure them.
They want to keep talking about it, because they are all looking at me in silence, but I'm done. Spencer haven't uttered a word, she seemed shocked but it's really weird that she haven't talk shit about Paige. I guess she's embarrassed because she jumped to conclusions and attacked Paige. Suddenly, her cellphone rings, she looks at it and she gets nervous.
"I'm sorry, guys, I got to go. My mother… needs my help… ummm… something about her laptop, so…" – she says nervously.
"Okay, bye, Spence" – we say in unison, all looking surprised because of her sudden nervousness.
I know she's lying, because she is not looking us in the eye, but I guess she doesn't want to explain where she's going. Maybe she's meeting Mona, or she is going to visit Garrett. Who knows? She's Spencer Hastings, she's always up to something.
Paige's POV
I am already waiting for Spencer in the café she told me we will meet. I am getting nervous so I send her a text, because I've been here for ten minutes and I am starting to think that she is playing a mean prank on me.
Hastings, where the hell are you? Get your ass over here!
She doesn't answer my text, but in five minutes I can see her from the distance, she is running.
"Hi. I'm really sorry, I was with my friends and I didn't know it was so late." – she tells me breathing heavily.
"I thought you wouldn't show up, that you were trying to torture me." – I tell her.
"Why would you do that?" – she asks, looking very surprised.
"You are not exactly a close friend of mine, Hastings, the idea is not so crazy." – I reply.
"So… did you have sex with that girl from the meet?" – she asks me.
"What the fuck, Hastings? Okay, I'm done taking shit from you!" – I yell at her.
"Okay, I'm sorry, Paige, but I had to ask. Emily is my friend and she is absolutely sure that you slept with that girl." – she tells me, holding my arm so I don't leave.
"I told her I didn't do such thing, she knows me and I wouldn't do something like that. Anyway, she doesn't believe me and you don't trust me, so this conversation is worthless." – I affirm, looking at her.
"I believe you, even if you are psycho who likes drowning people." – she jokes.
"I know I was a bitch, but I was having a hard time and I regret it everyday. But it happened a lot of time ago, get over it! – I say smiling.
"I will try to avoid being at a pool if you are around, just in case." – she says, laughing.
"I didn't know this side of you, you are funny, Hastings." – I tell her, smiling.
"Yeah, I am the life and soul of Rosewood, but I prefer to go unnoticed." – she says.
I didn't think I was going to enjoy this conversation with Spencer, but she's nice.
"Paige, she's madly in love with you, today she was devastated. And I know you love her too, so… What is your plan?" – she asks me.
"I won't do anything, Hastings." – I tell her, frowning.
"Okay, calm down." – she adds.
"I am really tired, I'm going home. I know I'm adorable and that you are having a great time, but my mother is waiting for me." – I joke.
"Bye, Paige." – she says, waving at me.
Emily's POV
It's nice being back at home. I am lying on my bed listening to some music and relaxing.
"Dinner is ready, Emily!" – my mothers shouts.
"I'm coming, mom" – I answer.
Suddenly my cellphone rings, it's a text.
I hope it's Paige, maybe she misses me. – I think to myself, happily.
Hey! It's Jane. Take care of the sexy swimmer, she's a really good kisser. XOXO
How the hell did she get my number? I suppose she snooped through Paige's cellphone. She's definitely a bitch, I hate her.
To be continued…
It's possible next chapter will be the last one of the story.
