Emily's pov
This morning I woke up to Alison with a death grip on me. I turned slightly to looked outside and could tell that it was way to early to be up for a Saturday. when I looked at my phone and saw that it was 6am I sighed before closing my eyes again. As much as I wanted to stay wrapped in my girlfriends arms I new I had to go. I didn't want to take the chance of being caught, and I know full well that my mother would be at Aria's door first thing making sure that I did In fact stay there. I gently managed to peel Ali's arms off of me enough to slowly crawl out of her bed. Fumbling around her room I tried to find my dress and shoes from last night, while being carful not to wake her. I thought I was doing pretty well, and was almost out the door when I heard her whisper my name. "Em? What are you doing"? I sighed realise she wasn't going to be happy that I have to go. Hey sorry If I woke you, go back to sleep it's early. Ali sat up, "where are you going"? She mumbled as she rubbed the sleep from her eyes, and I smiled at how cute she looks when she's just woke up. Aria's, If I don't go now we will get caught and I don't want you to be sent to Georgia, I like having you here.
Ali frowned, and i wanted nothing more than to crawl back in her bed next to her. I'm serious, my mum will be at Aria's around eight to make sure I actually stayed there, and if I'm not there I'll be grounded. Ali pouted at me and I walked over to her side to say goodbye. I'll call later, I promise go back to sleep. I gently placed a kiss on her forehead and turned to leave but she stopped me. pulling me back with her hand, I turned to look at her. Ali don't look at me like that, you know I think your cute enough as it is, I won't want to leave. " I know that's why I'm doing it" she says while trying to look innocent. I bent down again, this time kissing her on her lips softly. when I pulled away she smiled at me. You satisfied? I question her with a smirk, "mm for now" she blushes and I can't help but roll my eyes. I really have to go okay? "Fine bye Emmy" Bye babe don't miss me to much I love you, I wink as I reach the door to her room. Ali just shook her head. " I already do mermaid I love you too.
When I came down stair I heard the back door open and I froze thinking I was about to get busted. When I realised it was just spencer I placed my hand on my chest with relief. God spence you scared me, I thought you were your parents. spencer laughed, "Yeah well you scared me too, I thought you were asleep". I smiled, I was but I woke up and I decided to leave before I get caught. My mother will turn up to Aria's soon and I should probably be there. Why are you up so early anyway? I question her knowing the time. " I went for a run, I always run if I can't sleep". I smiled Ali never told me you run, I run too we should go together sometime? If your interested. "That would be great Em I've always wanted someone to run with, do you want a lift to Aria's?" Umm... No thanks, I don't want to bother you spence I can walk its fine. "Don't worry about it really I can drive you, besides unless you plan on wearing your heals you have no shoes", She says as she point at my feet. I look down at my feet and laugh. Right well I guess a lift would be good thanks. "Great let me just grab my keys". When I arrived at Aria's It was 6:30 and I was glad to see her parents were still out from last night, looking for the Spare key I let myself in making sure to lock the door behind me and walked up to her room. I was still exhorted from last night so I grabbed her Spare pillow and blanket from the end of her bed, not sure if I should join her and decided to make myself comfortable on the floor. Closing my eyes again I managed to fall back to sleep.

I woke up early from the light shining in my window, cursing at myself for not shutting it properly. Rolling over to face the other side, I realised I was not the only one in my room. someone one was lying spread out on my floor, and as I sat up Rubbing my eyes to get a closer look. When I realised it was Em I let out a quiet laugh. I lay back down, and as I was nearly asleep again I heard the door bell Ring. Getting up out of bed I nudged Em to wake her, when she looked at me I smiled. I don't know when or how you got here, but I think that's your mother at the door. Em groaned stretching before standing up. What are you doing on the floor? I questioned her as she grabbed her stuff. You could have hoped in the bed I don't bite. Emily laughed "I know but you were asleep and I didn't want to wake you, besides I wasn't sure if we should sleep together considering we both have girlfriends". I just shook my head. Em we are best friends it's never stopped you before. " I know, and Your right I'll remember for next time. thanks for going along with this I owe you big time". it's fine Em really I wanted you and Ali to have a great end to your night just as much as you did.
The two of us headed down stairs and I opened the door for Emily's mum who was more then pleased to see She was actually here. I said my goodbye to Emily before sending a text to my dad asking what time they would be home, to see If I would have time to go see Hanna. Realising I didn't I showered grabbed some breakfast, and was in the lounge when my parents came home. "So Aria how was your night"? My mum questioned me as she entered the house with some groceries. It was great I had fun. "That's nice to here would you mind helping me with these? Your father has to take Mike to lacrosse". Sure, I smiled before helping her unpack. "You know honey since thanks giving is coming up your father and I decided we would go camping again as a family, and since you insisted on miss out on the last one you will be joining us no buts". I sighed do I have to? "Yes but I tell you what how about you bring a friend with you"? really? "Honey your dad just wants you to come, and if bringing a friend will make you go then why not". My mum smiled, alright you have a deal I say as I immediately start thinking about asking Hanna. My parents may not know we are together but that's not going to stop me from asking her.
I ran up stairs to call Hanna and was glad when she answered.
Hanna- to what do I oh this pleasure? She question me and I laughed
Me- hello to you to I say with a smirk, how are you this morning? Did you get home ok last night?
Hanna- I'm great babe, and yes I did how did you sleep?
Me- like a baby I was so tired, my parents actually just got back an hour ago I kind of wanted to ask you something
Hanna- you do?
Me- yep how do you feel about camping? I heard Hanna's cute laugh from the other end of the phone.
Hanna- me camping? are you serious?
Me- yep my family is going for thanks giving and I have to go so my mum said I can bring a friend
Hanna- let me guess that would be me?
Me- yeah, please come babe for me? It could be fun
Hanna- I'll have to ask my mum but if she says yes then I guess I'll think about it for you
Me- great, well I gotta go I'll see you at school tomorrow
Hanna- okay by beautiful I love you
Me- I smiled hearing those three words for the first times since last night, I love you too Han bye
After ending the call I decided to text Emily. she owes me for covering for her last night so I'm hoping that she could maybe help me convince Hanna to go. I mean she's been on more then one camping trip with me and if Hanna knows that then maybe it won't seem to bad of an Idea. When Em replied saying she would try her best I smiled hoping that between the two of us Hanna would eventually say yes.
The next week at school went pretty quickly, I kept asking Hanna about the camping trip and by lunch on Thursday she still hadn't made up her mind so I had to result in Emily. "Hanna it will be fun, I use to go all the time with the Montgomery gang and if I can survive so can you". Em winked at her and I laughed. "Fine I'll go but only because there is no way I would survive without seeing you for thanks giving, and because I love you". Hanna says and I can already picture us pitching a tent. I hugged her with excitement and she placed a kiss on my check. Ali smiled at us, "just for the record Aria Hanna doesn't do outdoors so be prepared to see a different side to her", I laughed and Hanna just glared at Ali. Thanks I'll be sure to keep an eye out, who knows maybe she will change her mind. What are you guys planing to do with the week off? I questioned them and Ali piped up. "My mum actually invited me down to Georgia for the week, and Em has agreed to come with me to meet my grandmother". "It will be fun, I'm looking forward to it" Em says with a smile. "Well Tell her I say hi, and that if she has any of her famous cookies leftover to send some home with you". Hanna beams at the thought of her favourite food and Ali just laughed. "will do Han" she says as the four of us head off to our last class of the day.

Before I new it, it was Friday afternoon. I am so excited to be seeing my mum tomorrow, and even more excited that Emily will be joining me. Jason has offered to lend me his car for the week and he dropped it off at Spencer's last night. I spent most of my Friday night pack my stuff and texting Emily, making sure she would be ready first thing tomorrow morning. She was staying with her mum so I decided to go to bed early as I wanted to get a good nights sleep before hitting the road. Spencer was out with Toby so I had nothing else to do but Lie in bed. I smiled at the thought of my grandmother finally being able to meet Emily. She always ask about her when we talk on the phone and I can just tell that she is going to love her just as much as I do. I haven't been to Georgia in ages, and knowing it will be Emily's first time I want to take her to so many different place, even to meet my friend cece. I've been friend with cece ever since I was little and every time I visit grandma D I get to visit cece. I just Hope that Emily and her get along because apart from Hanna she's the only other friend I have ever had that means a lot to me and I've been missing her a lot lately. Felling my eyes start to close I rolled over making sure to set my alarm for 7am before allowing my body to relax enough to fall asleep.
Hanna's pov
Getting home from school I walked inside and upstairs to my room. placing my bag On my bed, I then opened my closet to begin packing for the week long camping trip I agreed to go on with my girlfriend and her family. God I must really love her, I thought to myself as I looked for a bag to take. I had no idea what to pack so was thankful when Aria had given me a list of instruction at school today. I began packing my bag and ticking off the list as I went, before going downstairs to our basement to see if my sleeping bag was still there. Trust me when I finally found it, the amount of dust that was in it indicated just how long it had been since I had last used it. I even had to take it out side to shake it. Come to think of it, it was problem before my dad left and that feels like forever. Heading back to my room I grabbed my bag and pillow making sure I had everything I need. I then said my goodbyes to my mum who was planing to work for most of thanks giving and promised to call her thanks giving day! As I went to leave she offered to drop me off to save me walking and I immediately said yes.
When I arrived at Aria's house her dad greeted me at the door and I flashed him a warm smile before walking in. When I entered I saw Aria coming downstairs. "Hanna I'm so glad your here" Aria says as she wraps me In a hug. I could see the excitement on her face and was glad that me coming on this trip was making her this happy. The five of us loaded our stuff into the family car, and I climbed in taking a set next to the window. Much to Aria's disappointment we were only taking one car which meant that we would be stuck in the back with mike, her parents in the front taking turns on driving. As we took off, I felt Aria getting comfortable in the middle and watched as mike was pretty quick to plugged in his head phones and sleep. Aria then spread out a blanket over our legs, and I smiled as I felt her reach for my hand underneath it. I didn't even hesitate before linking our fingers together And I let Aria rest her head on my shoulder as she began to read her book. flicking through a magazine that was resting on my lap, I couldn't help but start drawing patterns on the back of her hand, watching her smile every now and then. Looking out the window, I new This was going to be a long car ride, but I didn't care as I could already tell that it would be one that I would enjoy.
