She runs as fast as she can towards Spencer's house, not looking behind even once.
Once she reaches the brunette's bedroom –happy to have been able to escape Alison's house without being seen- she looks between the petite brunette and the blonde.
''Where's…?'' Emily starts to say but she's quick cut off by Hanna's worried face.
''Where's Spencer?!'' Hanna says alarmed.
''That's what I was about to ask!'' Emily answers equally alarmed.
''Well I asked first!'' The blonde says annoyed.
''Hey you guys, calm down!'' Aria says stepping between the two of them. ''I'll call her.''
''Where did Spencer go?'' Emily asks Hanna calmly after some seconds of silence.
Hanna's sight drops while biting her lip in some kind of regret and, after looking Emily right in the eye, she answers in four simple words:
''She was the rescue.''
'Damn it.'' Spencer says while she tries to get up from the floor. ''Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck.''
Her thigh hurts too damn much and she barely can stand up without falling.
As she starts walking, her phone starts to ring and she's both grateful and scared. Grateful because that could mean the girls have realized that something has gone wrong with their plan; and scared because it could mean that Emily is still inside Alison's house, and she is sure as hell she is not coming back there anytime soon.
When she finally picks up, she is ''welcomed'' with Hanna's voice.
''Where the hell are you?!''
''Well, hello there to you too, sunshine.'' Spencer replies annoyed. ''Is Em…?''
''Yes! She is here'' Comes Hanna's reply, once again cutting off someone on the middle of their sentences. ''That's why we're all worried about you!''
''Well, your voice tone doesn't sound exactly worried.'' Spencer says snorting and trying to suppress a moan of pain while she limps.
''Well, breaking news to you, we all fucking are!''
Before the injured brunette has a chance to reply back, she hears a jolt on the other side of the phone and, when it stops, she is finally welcomed by a sweeter voice.
''How are you? Do you need any help with anything? We're so worried!''
''No, no. I'm… ouch''
''Spence? What was that? Are you okay?'' Aria asks worried.
''Yeah, yeah. I just tripped with something.'' 'With my own foot'. She thinks, but decides not to let Aria know that part.
''Are you sure you're okay? Don't you need any help?''
''Well, on second thought… I might need some help.'' She has lost blood and her head is starting to spin. ''I'm kind of bleeding here.''
''Oh my god, Spence! Okay, don't move! We're coming for you.'' Aria says hurriedly.
''Hurry… up'' Spencer whispers.
.
''What did she say?'' Emily asks worried.
''Was she as nice to you as she was to me?'' Hanna says kind of annoyed.
''She's bleeding. We need to get to her. NOW.'' The petite brunette orders.
''What?! How could this happen?'' The swimmer says.
''I don't know. She didn't tell me!'' Aria says getting more and more nervous as seconds pass.
''And why was she the one to go to me?!''
''Well, she is much faster than me and Hanna so…''
''You guys!'' Hanna cuts in. ''We will have time to discuss all of this later. Can we please think of Spence right now?!''
Aria and Emily nod and they all run outside the Hastings' house, ready to look for Spencer.
''Did she at least tell you where she is?'' Emily asks while her head is spinning around searching for her friend.
''N-no.'' Aria replies. ''What do we do? Do we call her?''
The brunette is about to answer, but Hanna walks in before she's even able to open her mouth.
''No. If we call her, Alison could hear us. Don't you remember? We're right next to her house!'' Hanna says reasoning.
''I hate to admit it, but Hanna's right.'' Emily says.
''G…guys.'' A tiny voice whispers. ''I'm right here.''
The three of them spin their heads all at the same time to find the brunette lying on the floor with a knife sticking out of her thigh. They rush to Spencer while Aria calls an ambulance.
''Wait'' Spencer says while grabbing Aria's phone. ''I'm not saying I don't want medical attention, but they'll ask me questions. How am I supposed to answer them? I can't tell them Alison threw me a knife!''
''She… what?!'' Emily interrupts almost shouting.
''Right… you didn't know that…'' Spencer curses herself.
''She did that to you?!''
''But she didn't know it was me! She just probably saw a shadow and she got scared!'' The brunette replied.
''Why are you now defending Alison?'' Hanna cuts in, like she always does.
''Just call Wren. He'll help us.'' Spencer says sighing.
Aria nods and dials Wren's phone number as fast as she can while Hanna tries to stop the bleeding without taking the knife out to avoid major blood coming out. Quite a difficult job, I might add.
Suddenly, Emily's phone starts ringing and, once she sees the ID, her head snaps towards the DiLaurentis' house.
''Um… Hello?''
''Emily?'' Alison's quite voice says. Can you come over, please? I want to talk to you.''
''Um… yeah, sure. I'll be there in two minutes.'' She says before ending the call.
''Who was that?'' Hanna asks noticing Emily's phone on her hand.
''Alison.'' She responds firmly.
After telling her friends about their short conversation, they realize Wren has arrived and, after telling them it's not a serious injure, they all sigh relieved. Wren tells them to help him carry Spencer towards her house and, before they enter, Hanna tells Emily to meet with Alison and make sure she had no clue about the shadow or herself being in the house.
She hears the door bell ring and practically runs downstairs to open it. She knows she deserves at least an explanation and she's sure as hell she'll get it.
''Hey'' Emily says without meeting her gaze.
''Hey'' Alison replies. ''Come in.''
They go upstairs to the blonde's bedroom and, while Alison sits down on the bed, Emily stays awkwardly on the door frame.
''Emily…'' Alison starts to say.
''Look.'' The brunette interrupts. ''I didn't cheat on you, okay? I can't stand seeing you all sad and depressed because of me.''
She decided to sit on the bed and take her hand before she continues.
''I just had a wet dream about you, okay? That's all! And the next day I felt embarrassed, that's why I didn't look at you straight in the eye. That's everything! You have to know I would never ever cheat on you, Alison. You're the best thing that has happened in my life. I love you.''
Alison's face after that confession is priceless. But Emily is scared because she doesn't know what the reaction will be.
Thanks for the reviews and the support. Next chapter will be the last one and I promise you it will have a lot of Emison and a happy ending. Sorry for the wait
