Chapter 9: Fayana

Cassie had woken up early and walked to Diana's house. 'I need to get a car,' Cassie thought to herself as she finally got to Diana's front door. Truthfully Diana's house wasn't that far away, but she had been stuck walking to school and anywhere else since she got here and Cassie was kind of getting tired of it. Cassie knocked on the door and waited until Diana answered it.

"Cassie?" Diana asked confused. "What are you doing here?"

"Came to talk to you," Cassie said. "Can I come in?" Diana moved aside to let Cassie in.

"I was just making breakfast. Do you want any?" Diana asked walking into the kitchen.

"I don't want to be any trouble," Cassie said sitting down.

"No trouble at all. I'm just making eggs. You like scrambled?" Cassie nodded. "Then you can take these and I'll make me some more." Cassie was about to argue but truthfully she skipped breakfast and decided to take the offer. Cassie sat there eating and Diana joined her not long later. The two ate in silence. "So you wanted to talk to me. Is this about..." Diana looked at Cassie's arm trying to see if there were any new cuts.

"Is your dad home?" Cassie asked and Diana shook her head. Cassie was relieved not wanting to have this conversation in front of Charles Meade. "No this is not about me. This is about you and Faye." Diana nearly choked on her drink when Cassie said that.

"What about me and Faye?" Diana asked.

"You like her. Don't you?" Cassie asked in a knowing way.

Diana laughed. "Of course not." Diana said looking at Cassie. "Where would you get a crazy idea like that from?"

Cassie looked at Diana. "Maybe from the fact that you always act nervous around her. The fact that you freak out at comments. The fact that half the time Faye is talking to you it sounds like she is flirting." Cassie stopped and judge the reaction on Diana's face. She looked lost as though she didn't know what to say.

"Um... No... It's not..." Diana said and then paused. "How? How did you know? Is it because of Emily?"

"Sort of. I talked to Emily and she confirmed it for me." Cassie had a smile on her face. "Why are you with Adam? Why not be with Faye?"

"You can't tell. I kept your cutting secret you have to keep this one." Cassie looked at Diana confused. "Please, you have to."

"Okay, but I don't understand. Why is this a secret?" Cassie asked waiting for Diana to explain.

"I don't want anyone to know. What would my Circle think of me? What would my dad think of this? What about poor Adam? What would he think knowing I kissed Faye while dating him?" Diana clearly broke down and Cassie didn't know what to do so she just let Diana continue venting. "Faye is just so stubborn. She has to get everything she wants and she wants me. It's just so annoying. I keep trying to tell her no. Talk to her telling it it will never happen and then I just end up kissing her and making out. I then freak and back away. I don't want to want to be with her. I want to want Adam. I want to be happy and in love with Adam."

"Are you hearing yourself?" Cassie asked making Diana look at her. "You want to want Adam. It's not fair to him to string him around like this. You want Faye not Adam. Deal with it and go to her."

Diana had a look on her face as though she was ready to give in to Cassie. "I promise I'll keep this a secret but you should consider this." Diana nodded. "And will you drive me to school?" Diana laughed and nodded and the two walked out of the house.

-TSC/PLL-

"I can't!" Diana protested in a vehement whisper to Cassie for nearly the hundredth time.

"Diana, you can't hide your feelings forever." Cassie retorted. "Are you just going to stay with Adam the rest of your life and pretend you're happy?"

Diana hung her head, avoiding Cassie's eyes. "He's nice."

"He's just your second best."

The aforementioned boyfriend strode over, greeting Diana with a kiss. Cassie raised her eyebrows at the way Diana broke away from in only seconds later.

Adam looked hurt. "Hey, is something wrong?" Diana's eye's shone with tears. 'What, Diana?"

"Nothing, I'm fine." Diana said. She smiled stiffly at him.

Across the hall Faye appeared, watching Diana as she moved to her lockers and dumped some books inside. Her expression faded from hopeful to upset when she saw Adam had looped his arm around Diana's waist, shushing her and trying to comfort her.

"I'm fine!" Diana snapped, forcibly removing his arm. She glanced at Faye before letting her eyes flit back to the ground.

"Diana." Cassie said sternly. "You can't live like this forever. It'll be okay."

"No it won't." Diana was trembling, absolutely terrified. Cassie knew how hard it had been for Emily. Diana was just afraid that everyone in the entire school would hate her, mock her, ridicule her because of the way she was. But it wasn't her fault.

Cassie sighed. "Diana, it's who you are, and there's nothing you can do to change that. I'll still be your friend. You need to do something about it now, out in the open. Emily was the same—she fell out of the closet on her face—almost literally—but it turned out okay, because she was out, and that was all that mattered."

Adam, who had only heard the first half of their conversation, asked, "What are you guys talking about now?"

"Okay." Diana said suddenly.

"Okay?" Cassie couldn't believe what she was hearing. "Really?"

Diana nodded, striding away from Adam, who was saying, "What's okay?"

Diana stopped in front of Faye, tears still falling from her eyes. "I'm sorry that… I'm sorry that I pushed you away. "

"I… what?"

Diana continued, before she could be overcome by fear. "I really like you, and I think I should do something about it, something that shows the whole world. Because I'll be out, but…" she glanced back at Cassie. "I'll be okay."

Faye was speechless, especially when Diana's lips pressed into hers. She gasped, frozen for a second before she pulled Diana closer.

Cassie grinned, turning to Adam, whose mouth was hanging open. "I believe you just got dumped. Don't feel too bad about it, okay?"

AN: Okay yeah, this was just a continuation of last chapter. Now to address something. As some reviews have pointed out yes this does take place mostly in the secret circle universe. That's because it the secret circle universe that has changed the most in this AU. The lairs are just going through the same thing they were in season 2 of Pretty Little Liars, but the Liars will be back in it soon. Just a couple of more chapters of just Secret Circle mostly and then the Liars will be back. How, well I'll let that be a surprise. Okay please REVIEW.
