A/N: I'm so sorry this is late! Seriously, April 1st, which was my choir concert, was the day that marked the beginning of a super busy month. Yesterday I got a haircut, today I had a rehearsal and lot of errands to run. Tomorrow I've gotta clean my whole room because on Sat/Sunday I'm going to a sleepover party. Next Tuesday is my choir competition, next Thursday my aunt and my oma are coming to stay with us, that weekend all of siblings are also visiting and then that next Tuesday is a choir party, that Thursday is a school thing after school. Plus homework and crap. then after that things finally slow down. So I'll do my best to update as much as possible...

Shoutout to Shay4Two, who was the 150TH REVIEWER OF THIS STORY! THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!

Except I'm not thanking that person that reviewed "The fact that you like dantana just ruins this whole f*cking story for me. I just can't." because this is an Emison story, I'm sorry that I mentioned my Dantana story, but why would the fact that I like Dantana affect how much you like this story? :/ I just opened up the email expecting something that at least related to this story but yeah I just thought it was kind of rude like.

Eh.

Oh remember, 2 week time skip.

Two weeks can do a lot of things, good and bad. For some people, a period of two weeks can destroy precious things and do a lot of damage. For other people, a period of two weeks can build up precious things and do a lot of strengthening.

Lucky for Emily and Alison, the two weeks after they got together went amazingly. They started a routine of running every morning, switching who got to shower first, and then heading to the shop, where Ali kept Emily company until her shift at the Grille started. They got to talk a lot. They learned a lot more about each other, and got closer and closer. They both knew that what they were forming was something that was going to last.

"Your classes are starting on Monday, right?" Hanna asked Emily. They were hanging out at Emily's place, eating takeout. Ali was supposed to be joining them, but she had picked up an extra shift at the Grille that lasted until five in the evening. She said she needed the extra money for something, and Emily hadn't questioned it.

"Yep. Well, I have the orientation on Monday. Then I have a class on Tuesday and a different one on Thursday, and then it repeats like that for most of summer. Aria has my Thursday class with me," Emily replied.

"That's cool. It must suck to graduate only to have to go into more school," Hanna commented.

"It's not that bad, considering that the last time I graduated and then went into more school, it was for four years," Emily pointed out, chuckling. "At least now it'll only be for a summer."

"So, how are things between you and Ali?" Hanna asked, giving her a knowing smile.

Emily blushed. "Things are still great."

"How do two girls like... do stuff anyway?" Hanna asked. Emily nearly choked on her food.

"Um," she muttered, "different ways."

Hanna raised her eyebrows. "Alright then. So have you and Ali—"

"Uh, no, we haven't," Emily answered. "At least, not yet."

"Why not? You've been together for three weeks," Hanna reminded her.

"We've been officially together for two weeks," Emily corrected.

Hanna rolled her eyes. "Still! You'd think you'd be getting some action."

"Look, everything between me and Alison is going great, and we're going to get around to... that when it's right. Okay?" Emily asked. Hanna chuckled.

"Alright, Em," Hanna said, still chuckling. "Any idea what Ali needs extra money for?"

"No, she didn't say," Emily answered with a shrug, taking another bite of her food. "I'm sure that she just wants a little extra cash in her wallet."

"I dunno, but I think she's up to something," Hanna admitted.

Emily raised an eyebrow. "Like what?"

"I dunno," Hanna repeated, shrugging. Suddenly, the blonde's phone began to ring. "Ugh, it's the store. Give me a sec." She answered the phone. "Hello? Are you serious? Can't someone else do it? I know, but— alright. Yeah, I'll be there in a few. No, don't do anything. I'm coming."

She hung up, and Emily raised an eyebrow. "What's that about?"

"The employees at the store are having issues about a customer or something. I have to go in," Hanna answered with an annoyed sigh. "I'll text you later. See you later, Em."

"Yeah, see you later," Emily returned as Hanna grabbed her stuff and left. Emily sighed and glanced at the time. Ali would be off of work in an hour, and then they could spend the rest of the evening together.

In the meantime, she flipped on the TV.

AAA

Ali only had one more hour of work until she could go see Em. She hated working extra, but she was planning on buying something for Emily that was a little pricey, and she needed the extra money.

A lot more people came into the Grille after Ali's shift, evidently, because there were about six more people working in the place and a lot of people were sitting around the restaurant. Luckily, Ali was still working the bar, so she wasn't having to carry food around or take big orders.

As she was grabbing some food from the back to give to the one person sitting at the bar, she heard the entrance of the restaurant open. Ali came out of the kitchen, handed the food to the guy, and then looked up at the entrance. The girl had red-brown hair that was cut off at her shoulders. She looked a little awkward, and seemed to be looking around for someone.

"Can I help you?" Ali called to her.

The girl glanced over at her. "I'm just... I'm looking for someone, and I have no idea where she is."

"Got a name?" Alison asked.

"Emily... Emily Fields... do you know her? She would've moved here maybe a month ago?" the girl asked.

"Three weeks ago," Ali corrected, her expression hardening. Alison had a good feeling that she knew who this girl was. "Yeah, I know her. Why are you looking for her?"

"It's a long story," the girl answered.

"I'm sure it is."

The girl awkwardly crossed her arms over her chest. "So, do you know where I can find her?"

"Maybe, but I still don't know who you are," Ali snapped at her, grabbing a pitcher of coke and refilling the cup belonging to the guy who was sitting at the bar.

"Um, I'm a... a friend of Emily's. Paige," the girl answered.

Ali froze, and then she took a deep breath. She set down her pitcher and then looked up at Paige. "I don't think Emily wants you to find her."

"Please, she thinks that she knows what happened, but—"

"You should probably go," Ali suggested.

"Please. I have to talk to Emily," Paige begged.

"Well, you're not going to. So just walk away," Alison demanded. Paige gulped, and then she turned and left the building. Ali took a deep breath and clenched her fists. She had to get that bitch out of Rosewood and back to Philly, or wherever she was supposed to be, before Emily found her.

"Don't clench your fists too hard. Your extra shift was your idea," one of the other employees said suddenly next to Ali.

Ali just unclenched her fists and then looked at the time. She still had fifty minutes. Groaning she leaned against the counter.

Suddenly, her phone began to ring. Hoping it was Emily, she answered it without looking at the caller. "Hello?"

"Hey, sweetie!" came her mom's voice. "Are you busy?"

"I'm working for the next hour, why?" Alison wondered.

"I thought we could have dinner together tonight if you're not busy," the older woman suggested. "We haven't talked for the last couple of weeks."

A billion thoughts ran through Ali's mind. She hadn't told her mother about her now dating a girl. She didn't think that her mom would get angry, but she knew she'd be surprised, and she wanted to wait until things were more serious with Emily before she gave such new information to her mom. Was two weeks serious enough? Come on, Ali. You could've told her the day you went out with Emily. Now you're just being a pussy. Shaking her thoughts away from her, she answered, "Sure, mom. Maybe we can just have coffee or something at the Brew?"

"Sure, that works for me," her mom answered. "How about after you get off of work?"

"Sounds good, I'll see you then. Bye, mom," Ali said.

"Bye, dear."

She hung up and then opened up a text message to her girlfriend.

To Emily- Hey, I'll probably be back to the apartment building about an hour later than I was supposed to. I'm going to have coffee with my mom.

From Emily- Aww, okay. Have fun! xx

Ali smiled. She liked when Emily added "xx" at the end of her texts. "Hey blondie," one of the working employees snapped, "you do have work during extra shifts you know? You don't just get money for being here."

Ali rolled her eyes and set her phone down before helping someone who had just sat down at the bar. She much preferred her own shift over this one. There were too many things to do later in the day. During her shift, she might as well just be restaurant sitting.

EEE

Emily sighed as she set down her phone. She had nothing to do for the next two hours except for sit around. As she laid on her couch trying to brainstorm ideas for something to do, her phone started ringing. Hoping it was Ali, she answered it without looking at the caller.

"Emily?" came a voice that Emily had definitely not expected to hear. Paige.

Emily sat there unspeaking, the phone sitting next to her ear.

"Emily, I know you're there. I can hear you breathing," Paige whispered.

"I don't want to talk to you, Paige," Emily insisted, before hanging up. She'd thought that Paige was over trying to talk to Emily again. She'd thought wrong. Please don't try to find me, Paige, she willed, as if it would do any good.

Sighing, Emily set her phone aside and grabbed her TV remote. When it doubt, watch old episodes of her favorite TV shows.

Ahhh Paige! This chapter's intention was mainly to set where Ali and Emily are after 2 weeks together, and also to set the basis for some things that are going to happen. For example, la Paige drama :P
