FRESHMAN YEAR

"So you and Emily finally got together?" Ashley asked a 14 year old Hanna.

"Yeah." Hanna beamed.

"Congrats. I thought you were never going to have the courage to tell her."

"I thought so too, but today we just had a long talk and we told each other." Hanna gushed with the biggest smile on her face.

"Why didn't you invite her over for dinner?"

"Because she is telling her mom tonight, and you already know that she flipped out when she told her that she even had feelings for me."

"I know, but I think Pam has grown. She's not the person she was then."

"I hope so." Hanna muttered.

WITH EMILY

Pam stared blankly at her daughter, trying to process what she had just said. She and Hanna were together? Officially?

"When did this happen?" Pam asked in shock.

"This afternoon. We just talked for a while and we admitted that we loved each other." Emily replied, scared of what her mom might say.

"Emily, you're 14 years old. You don't know what love is." Pam sighed.

"I do know that love is, and I love Hanna." Emily stated firmly.

"Emily." Pam warned her of her tone.

"Mom, why can't you just believe me? Hanna and I are going to be together for a long time."

"Emily, you are going through a phase. Soon enough, you and Hanna are going to realize that you two are nothing more than just friends." Pam shrugged.

"Mom, this is who I am." Emily rolled her eyes.

"Sweetheart, you're 14! Kids at your age barely know what pizza topping they want, let alone who they want to marry."

"Why can't you just be happy for me?"

"I am happy, okay? I'm happy that this experiment is with someone I trust, and not some scumbag. I'm also happy that you told me, but I can't say I'm happy about this. I don't like this, Emily."

"You're going to have to except it." Emily rolled her eyes and excused herself from the dinner table. She couldn't be around her mom right now.

IN EMILY'S ROOM

"She didn't take it well?" Hanna asked through the phone to her girlfriend.

"She took it better than I expected, but she still didn't give me all her support."

"I'm sorry, baby."

"It's okay. We know that this is real, and I don't expect anyone else to know what's going on between us." Emily told her.

"Totally. You and I both know that I would never break up with you. Just the mere thought of not having you in my life, makes me want to break down in tears." Hanna admitted.

"I feel the same way." Emily smiled.

The room was silent for a while. Both girls were completely content just listening to each other breathe. "I really want to kiss you right now." Hanna broke the silence.

"You have no idea how badly I want that too."

"Tomorrow morning? At the bus stop?" Hanna asked.

"I'll be there, and my lips will be too."

Hanna smiled. "You're too cute."

"I know." Emily giggled. "I miss you." She sighed.

"I miss you more. I wish you could be here."

"I start drivers training soon." Emily told her. "By this time next school year, I'll be able to drive anywhere I want to go."

"Will you take me with you?" Hanna asked.

"No need, because where I want to go is where ever you are."

That sentence alone, made Hanna fall in love all over again.

"I love you."

"I love you more."

WITH PAM

"Wayne, I don't think that this is going to end well. You know how sensitive Emily is, and this is Hanna we're talking about. That child doesn't know what she wants, and she's going to break Emily's heart along the way."

"You have to let Emily grow for herself. If she gets her heart broken, she'll learn from it and grow stronger. Isn't that what you want?"

"Of course, but I don't want anyone hurting my little girl intentionally."

"Hanna would never do that. They've been best friends for a while, and she cares about Emily."

"Honestly, Wayne, how long do you think this is going to last? My bet, is one week. That's all. In one week, this whole silly relationship will be over, and we're going to have to comfort her. Get ready."

"I say it'll last a hell of a lot longer than a week."

"You want to bet?"

"20 bucks says so."

"You're on." Pam said before hanging up.

Little did Pam know, she was off by a long shot.

One week turned into two. Two weeks turned into a month. One month turned to two and three months. Three months turned into a year. One year turned into two years. Two years turned to two and a half years. Finally, when three years hit, Pam got a phone call.

"Wayne?" Pam answered.

"I was just thinking. Don't you owe me $20?"

Pam smiled at the conversation they had three whole years ago. "I believe I do."

"Nah, don't worry about it. You can pay me back at their wedding."

"I don't think it's going to last that long." Pam sighed.

"You want to bet?" Wayne challenged with a smirk.

Pam looked out into the back yard where Hanna and Emily were sitting in the grass enjoying each other's company. She smiled as Hanna leaned over and captured Emily's bottom lip between her own.

"No. I think I'd lose." Pam smiled.
