Emily

A field stretching out all around her filled with wild flowers. Emily smiled at the sky, soaking up the sun, and spinning with her arms spread wide. How could life get any better than this?

"Hey beautiful." She heard Spencer say.

"Spencer! What are you doing here?"

"I came to see you." She said with a smirk.

A smile spreads across her lips that is out of her control. Emily then launches herself into Spencer's arms. Before she can pull out of it Spencer stops her. Their faces are now inches apart and Emily feels her heart race and breath catch. Oh my god. Is she doing what I think she's doing? She does not know who closed the distance but they were kissing. Soft and slow at first but she lost all self control when Spencer nipped at her bottom lip.

The kiss turns to raw passion. She feels Spencer lowering her slowly to the ground. Loving the feel of the girl on top of her, she whispers, "I love you Spencer Hastings. I love you so much."

"I love you too Emily." Spencer said looking into her eyes.

Butterflies went crazy inside Emily's stomach. "I love you Spencer. Will you be mine?"

Spencer

Before she knew what was happening, Spencer found herself running down the stairs and out the door to her car. Her car was pulling out of the driveway before she closed the door. Fighting tears, she franticly dialed Emily's number while speeding to her house.

"Come on. Come on. Pick up. Please, pick up! DAMN IT!" She cursed while throwing her phone to the floor when she only got Emily's voicemail.

Why was it always Emily that got hurt? Why? As she pulled up to the curb she saw an ambulance loading Emily into the back as her mother stood on the porch in tears. The car was burly in park when Spencer jumped out and ran to her friend's side.

"EMILY! EMILY, WAKE UP!" ,was all she could say as someone dragged her back. At this point she hated the person for pulling her away from Emily. Turning around she found the person to be not just one but two. Pam Fields and Paige McCullers each had her by an arm as they held her back so the ambulance could makes its way to the hospital. She collapsed into their arms and cried.

"What happened?" Spencer managed to whisper when she calmed down enough to talk.

"I don't know. I came out side to put out the trash and saw her lying on the ground by her car." Pam explained.

"Hey Spencer? Can you give me a ride to the hospital?"

"Sure Paige. We'll meet you there Mrs. Fields. Paige, would you call the others while I drive?"

"Yeah"

-3-

Sitting in the waiting room with the girlfriend of the girl she loves is not an easy thing for Spencer. She just keeps looking at the door for the doctor and the others to come.

"Spencer what happened!?" Both Hanna and Aria came running through the door.

"We don't know yet. Her mom is trying to find the doctor now." Her answer was low as she spoke. Both the girls sat next to her as they all consoled each other.

Spencer was the first to see the doctor enter the room with Mrs. Fields. She up and across the room in seconds. "How is she?"

"She is stable. For now. We gave her fluids and are feeding her through a tub now. Do you girls know for how long she has not been eating?"

"What? She… wasn't eating? I… No we don't know." Spencer's voice came out hushed and shocked as she answered for the others that were in disbelief. Anger suddenly flooded through her as she turned on Paige. "You! How could you not know? She is your girlfriend! You are supposed to protect her! This is your fault!"

"Me? Me? This is as much your fault as it is mine. Yeah I should have seen this coming but I didn't and neither did you! So don't put this all on me because you are her BESTFRIENDS!"

"GIRLS! This is not the time or place to be having this discussion. Emily is in a hospital bed and pointing blame is not going to make her better. Now I am going see my daughter. If you are done fighting you can join me."

All the girls shrank back. None of them had ever seen Mrs. Fields lose her cool like that. Spencer was the first to recover. She started down the hall after the mother of the girl she loves with the others not far behind. When they got to the room, it was Spencer who suggested Paige goes in first while they waited outside.

When Paige walked into the room she looked at Emily's sleeping form and turned back to grab the door before it closed. "Hey, could one of you get her some water for when she wakes up? She might be thirsty."

"Yeah I'll go." Spencer spoke as she turns to go. She could not stand to watch through the window with Paige in there and not her. She took her time at the machine and the walk back. The whole time all she could think of is how much Emily meant to her.

Walking through the door she was surprised to find Paige in tears. Paige stood up and stormed past her without a word. Something sounded in the room that caught her attention. Walking closer to Emily she found that it was the girl talking in her sleep. "Spence…. I… Spencer."

"What is it Em?" She asked while taking the seat next to the bed.

"Love… Spencer… Mine"

For the first time in her life that she could remember, Spencer Hastings was speechless.
