-Aria's POV-
I woke up with a very bad headache and a sore back. I can't believe Hanna and Emily just let us sleep on floor they could have dragged us all the way to the made-up bed; I'll make sure for them to pay for it. I noticed that Spencer and Emily were not inside the room. Spencer probably got up early and prepared breakfast. Her body is made up of 75% caffeine and 25% alcohol. I got a pillow and slammed it to a sleeping Hanna "What the hell Aria?!"She looked at me shifting to a comfortable position and slept again. "Where's Emily?" I asked "She's gone. I've looked everywhere." Spencer said as she entered the room with our cups of morning coffee "You don't think A took her do you?" Hanna said in a sleepy voice. "No, because she left a note" Spencer handed the note.
Sorry for not saying goodbye before leaving. I remembered I'm going out with Paige today. I'll see you at school tomorrow.
-Emily
-Emily's POV-
I left Spencer's house before the sun broke out. I went for a run to clear things out of my mind. I lied to the girls that I was meeting Paige but in reality I didn't want to see her nor Hanna. If I do what A wants Hanna would hate me. I could just tell Paige myself what happened. I could explain to her that it was a dare and we were drunk. Then I realized, it wasn't a dare, I kissed Hanna voluntarily. Make up your mind Fields.
-Spencer's POV-
We were standing in our lockers waiting for Emily. We haven't heard from her since she left that note, a note which was a lie. "There she is" I can see Emily hesitantly walking towards the lockers. "Hey" she greeted us "Where were you?" she looked confused of what I asked "This morning? I was at home getting ready for school. Why? Should I have been here earlier?" of course where else would she be this morning. "You said you were meeting Paige but we saw her at the grille yesterday all by herself. Why did you have to make up stories Em? Is this about what happened? I told to you forget…" Emily cut her off "Okay why are you yelling at me? For once Hanna it's not all about you. I had my own thing I had to deal with. So just mind your own business will you?" Emily snapped and stormed away. It was unlikely for her to just snap and walk out like that I knew something was wrong. The bell rang and we all went to class.
-Hanna's POV-
I was worried that Emily didn't text or call me yesterday and that she even lied to us. Maybe A has sent her one of his psycho messages and that's what freaked her out. We tried talking to her before class started but she snapped at me for yelling at her. I shouldn't have yelled at her in the first place. We had the same subject for first period. I was going to apologize for yelling at her before the teacher goes in when I saw her talking to Paige. She looked worried. Maybe Emily had told her and she didn't take it well that's why she was alone at the grille yesterday. I felt so stupid for misjudging Emily. So that's why she was so moody this morning.
-Paige's POV-
"Paige!" Emily called out "Hey beautiful" I smiled at her once I saw her beautiful face "I…I have to tell you something" we were getting late to class but with the look on Emily's face I didn't mind "What is it Em?" she sighed and looked at me "I…I…I love you" she smiled at me and my heart melt with her words. "awwww Em is that all? I love you too" She pulled me to a hug and we went to class. I could not believe how lucky I was to have her as my girlfriend. The first half of the day went by. Emily and I sat down on our lunch table. "Are you not sitting with the girls?" even though we were dating Emily always sits with the girls for lunch and I didn't mind that. "I just want to be with you today" who am I to pass the opportunity of having her alone.
-Spencer's POV-
"So you think Emily told her?" I asked Hanna who was playing with her food "Maybe" she looked at Emily and Paige's table. "So why are they sitting together in one table. Shouldn't be Paige freaking out? Maybe scream at you or try to drown Emily again?" I looked at Hanna "She might have forgiven her Spence. Sometimes when you love someone…" Aria tried to explain but I didn't let her "Cut the love crap Ar. It just doesn't make sense. Emily was all so moody this morning and now there she is, all smiles out" I tried to figure out what was really going on but I couldn't just fit it "Just mind your own business Spence" Hanna said imitating Emily. "Keep your mouth stuffed with this. Here, eat up!" Aria grabbed Hanna's plate on poured it on mine. Hanna and I had the same look of disbelief with Aria's action.
-Hanna's POV-
I was trying to pay attention with what's on the board when my phone buzzed, it was from Emily.
E: Do you love me?
H: Huh?
E: Meet me after class
As if on cue the bell rang and I went to my locker to put away my stuffs before meeting Emily, to my surprise she was already standing there. "I'll just put these away" I tried not to sound awkward "Okay" was all she said. I still can't process what Emily just asked me on her text. Do I love her? Was that even a question? She's my best friend of course I love her.
She drove us to the lake, she was silent on our way. She haven't said a word so broke the silence "Em? Why did ask me if I love you?" she was looking at the ground "Do you?" I took a step towards her and held her hand "Oh Emmy of course I do. You're my best friend" her eyes were still on the ground "I mean in a romantic way" I was caught off guard. Do I? I admit when she kissed me I felt the spark between us and I've had a crush on her since we were sophomores but was it enough to conclude that I love her in that way? I love Caleb. I'm not gay. "I…Em…I think…" I moved a little more closely "…Yes Emily I love you…as in love you in a romantic way" now I was looking at the ground too. "Be my girlfriend Hanna" the whole world froze "You once told me you liked me and that you would love to have me as your girlfriend. So here I am Hannakins. I want to be your girlfriend" it was true. I told her that before. "But…what about Paige…Caleb…Spencer and Aria…" I stuttered. She tilted my chin so my blue orbs could meet her dark brown eyes. "Are you sure about this Em?" I stared at her gaze "I never felt this before Han not after we kissed. That kiss…it's just…I love you Marin" Her words were music to my ears. I kissed her passionately. I never felt so perfectly happy. I love Caleb but something with Emily was different. Oh sweet Emily. I have never imagined for her to act this way to get her girl. Here we are kissing each other, her telling me that she wanted to be my girlfriend, Emily Catherine Fields is mine, all mi…wait! I pulled away from our kiss. She looked at me confused. "What about our relationships? Caleb and Paige?" I couldn't see fear nor worry in her "This will be our little secret" and she pulled me by the neck and kissed me again. If the only way to be with her is to be a secret then I would love to be her dirty little secret.
