-Hanna's POV-
Emily's arms were wrapped on me. "Good morning sleepyhead" I missed waking up like this. "Is it the end of the world? Why are you awake before me?" She greeted. "Shut up fields. Now go take a shower and I'll catch up for some sleep while you do." I playfully pushed her of the bed and did what I said.
Lunch break at school
"Hey guys. You two better now?" Spencer greeted Emily and me.
"How was your 'catch up' moment? What did you guys do?" Sparia was having their interrogation time with us as expected.
"Making out" I blurted. I feel Emily kicking me under the table.
"Hanna!" Spencer yelled at me.
"What? You asked me" I took a bite of my lunch.
"So are you two back together?" Aria asked.
"No. We are what we are." Emily answered.
"But you two were making out? What are you, friends with benefits now?" Spencer looked confused
"That was one time. We just got caught up at the moment. I have self control" Emily stumbled on her words.
"Yeah she has but I don't. If only you've seen how tease she is you'll understand" they all laughed at me. I was amused at how Em blushed.
"I'm glad things are all better now. Team Hannily for the win!" We smiled at Aria's statement.
The last bell rang and I went to the lockers only to find Paige talking to Emily. I felt jealousy in me seeing how touchy pigskin was. I had no right to be jealous so I just shrugged it off and placed my stuffs inside and approached Emily.
"Hey Em you're my ride home and my mom needs me early. Can we go now?" I gave Paige a cold look.
"We're going. I'll see you around Paige" Emily said to her
"Yeah, bye Em" she smiled at Emily and glanced at me.
"Yeah, bye Em" I murmured in my breath. She's totally into winning Emily back and there's nothing I can do to stop her. It would only take a while before Emily totally falls for her again.
-Emily's POV-
This morning I got a note from my not dead first love and best friend Alison, to meet her at the kissing rock but she never showed up. She was the first girl that I loved more than a friend. Though she hurt me most I always have worshipped her, she even called me "killer" for being so protective of her. I waited long for her but can't stay longer, the girls were waiting for me. We decided to go to Killingworth but my car had issues so Aria brought us to her uncle's cabin.
"Spencer and I would go grab some comforters for us." Sparia went to the utility room while Hanna and I went to the bedroom to lie down. Suddenly the lights went out and Spencer and Aria were screaming. We rushed to them and the door lock was jammed.
"What should we do?" there was panic in Hanna's tone. I looked around and found a baseball bat.
"Guys I need you to stand back" I shouted at Aria and Spencer and quickly slammed the bat to the knob.
"Oh my God" Hannah and I quickly grabbed the other girls for a hug.
"I think it's better if we ask someone to pick us up" Spencer suggested
"I think so too Spence, but who? We surely can't ask our parents and Toby's not in town." I was thinking of who we could ask to pick us up.
"I could ask Travis. Their family owns a towing service. We could ask him to pick us up here and tow Emily's truck back to Rosewood" I sighed hearing Travis's name but we had no other choice. He showed up around an hour later. He was a hero in Hanna's eyes, the knight and shining armor of the Damsel in distress. I had no claim over her; it won't be long before Hanna falls for him.
It had been a week since that cabin incident. None of the girls really talked about it except for the fact that A took Ali's diary, the only thing that could give us clues to where she might be.
My mom asked me to drop something at the church. I decided to light up a candle, praying wouldn't hurt. As I turned around I saw Shana standing behind me.
"What are you doing here?" I asked her aggressively
"I know where Ali is and she wants to talk to you" she says
"We all know she's dead"
"I know that you girls know that she's not"
"How do you know that? You don't even know Ali. Prove it"
"I lived in Georgia next to Ali's grandmother. I basically know since I was a kid. She asked me to come to Rosewood to figure and be her inside man"
"I didn't know you knew each other"
"Apparently there's a lot of things you don't know. Ali wants to see you. She says she misses the most, you're were always her favorite"
"I miss her too" I'm not sure if I could trust Shana's story but the thought of Ali wanting to see me is enough for me to take a leap of faith
"Meet me later at the back of the brew. I'll bring you to her and don't tell anyone. Come alone"
-Spencer's POV-
I alienated myself from my friends but I've decided to come visit Emily since Aria was out with Mr. Fitz but is still dating Jake. She says she's still figuring things out. I told her that she obviously likes Jake but is head over heels in love with Ezra. I saw Emily walking towards the porch where I was sitting for a while.
"Where were you?" I asked her
"My mom asked me to drop something at the church. Shana was there"
"What did she do to you? Did she hurt you? Did she try to kill you" I was hysterical
"Chill out Spence. How much coffee did you have today? She told me Ali wants to see me and that she knows where she is" from the looks of Em I know she already decided to see Ali
"You won't meet her would you? I don't think we can trust Shana. What if it's A that's contacting you? Are you that in love of Ali that you'd put yourself in danger?"
"It's not about my feelings for Ali, I care for her. What if she really needs my help? I could give it a benefit of the doubt. " her tone raised
"but Em…" before I could continue she cut me off
"I'm going to see Ali whether you like or not" she said storming off inside.
I can't let Emily fall for A's trap. I'll follow her.
-Emily's POV-
I can't believe how insane Spencer was. She always had her tendencies of calculating chances before doing something. But I didn't had to check my odds on this, it's my only chance to see Ali. I dressed up and put some strawberry lipgloss on.
As planned I met Shana at the back of the brew and she took me to an old warehouse and left as soon as I got out of the car. I went inside and checked the place, when I turned my back I gasped at who was standing in front of me
"it's really you" my eyes were teary seeing her
"I've missed you so much" she was teary-eyed too. We pulled each other for a tight hug.
"You have no idea how hard it is to stay away" she said
"Then don't anymore, we can go to the police or your parents…" I pull back and look at her in the eye to let her know how serious I was
"I wish I could. I just don't know who I can trust." she cut me off
"You can trust me…Spencer, Aria" she cut me off once again
"I'm sure I can trust you Em but I'm not sure about them"
"Why?" She stared at me
"You never stopped caring about me did you even after everything I put you through? You don't know how much I regret hurting you. If I could do everything over again things would be so different."
"Who's doing this to you? Tell me who you're hiding from"
"I thought I knew but I was wrong that's why I need you Em, help me find A so I can come home."
-Spencer's POV-
I followed Em to the brew and to the warehouse. I could overhear them from where I was hiding. It was really Ali. Now I know we could trust Shana. "…so that's who you think who tried to kill you?" I hear Emily say. I moved a bit closer so I could hear better and hit a metal tube on the floor. Shit. Now they know I'm here. I came out from my hiding place so I could talk to Ali too but she ran away.
"Ali wait! Ali! Ali! Open up please! I'm sorry! Please Ali I just wanna talk!" Emily screamed as she bangs the elevator door but when it opens Ali was nowhere in sight anymore.
"Why did you follow me here? Now Ali will never talk to me again. I broke her trust. What the hell Spencer!" She yelled at me.
"She sucked you back in. She wanted you to feel special so she could break us girls up." I tried to explain to her
"Get over yourself Spencer. This was your entire fault. You're responsible for pulling me and Ali away" She walked out of the warehouse and I was left there alone…friendless. It took a while before Ali showed up and personally asked for help and now would take more longer time for her to reach out again.
