Emily
It has been a week sense I've got out of the hospital and Spencer keeps putting food in front of me. I know she cares but this is getting ridicules. Every time I see her she has something else for me to eat.
As the bell rings Emily gets up walks to the lunch room. When she enters she sees Spencer with a tray of food waiting of her. "Spencer, baby. You really need to stop this. I have lunch money."
"I know. I'm just worried about you Em. You need to eat to regain all the weight you lost."
Hanna sees that I am getting mad and decides to chime in, "It's not healthy for her to gain it back in two days. And if you keep shoving food in her like this she will be fat in three!"
""That is a bit of an exaggeration Hanna!"
"Okay you two cool it. Spence, let's share the food. After all the snacks you gave me I'm really not hungry anyway."
I watch as Spencer purses her lips and her brow frowns in defeat, "Fine. But you are coming over after practice so we can work out a food plan."
"You're impossible you know that?"
"Yes, now eat."
This is my first day back to practice and I still have not talked to Paige. Ugh. Mom talked to coach so I will be taking it easy for a week. Great! Taking it easy is just what I need… I hate this I really do. And there is Paige. She won't even look at me. Awesome.
Her thoughts are interrupted by coach blowing the whistle, "okay ladies! Gather around please! Now you all know Emily is back with us today." Cheers from all but one of the team mates. "Okay, okay, settle down. Due to the doctor's orders she will be taking it easy for the next week. Now get in the pool!"
Practice went by fast with no word from Paige. When they entered the locker room Emily walked right up to her, "Paige we need to talk."
"Really? I think I know what you are going to say and you can save it."
"Paige, I didn't mean to hurt you. Hell! I was asleep. I have more respect for you than that. Nothing happened between Spencer and I. I didn't know till I woke up that she felt the same and when I found out… well that's when I knew. I wanted to tell you in person. I'm so sorry. I never wanted you to hurt like that."
"Are you done?"
"Yeah.."
"Good. I know what you are saying is true but it still hurts. Emily I love you and knowing that your heart belongs to someone else kills me. But you are happy. So I am going to let you go. Maybe someday we can be friends again, but right now… I just can't. And for that I am sorry."
She watched with tears in her eyes as Paige closed her locker, stepped forward to kiss her head, and then walked off to the showers. It was then that Emily knew that she did love Paige but she loved Spencer more. She didn't bother to change or shower. She put on her sweats over her wet swim suite and drove right to Spencer.
Spencer
I feel like there is more to this than Emily is letting on. We haven't told Hanna or Aria yet. I am almost sure they know. I know those looks they keep giving us. Hummm…
As she hears Emily enter the house she gets up to great her, "Hey Em, how was… What's wrong?"
"I talked to Paige after practice. We are okay, or we will be. She just needs time."
"Then why are you soaked and still in your suite?"
"Because I need you."
"Baby you have me. Let's get you showered and changed okay?" She says while holding Emily in her arms all the way up the stairs.
"I'll get you some clothes. Be right back." Walking into my room I look for something that will fit her but then again she is about the same size as me. God I hope she is okay. I knock on the door to the bathroom and walk in after I hear her say I can come in. WOW! I don't know what I thought I was walking in on but her standing there naked was not it. She is so beautiful. I can feel the butterflies going crazy in my stomach. I know my eyes are lingering too long on places other than her face. "um, I um, brought you… here." Smooth Spencer! Real smooth!
"Hey Spence, it's okay. You can look at me." Slowly Emily gets closer to her girlfriend. As Spencer swallows hard Emily takes her hand and pulls Spencer further into the bathroom. With Spencer's hands on Emily's hips she pulls her into a fiery kiss. The need, longing, and passion from both girls is pulled into that kiss. Emily pushes Spencer against the wall and pulls at the girls clothes wildly trying to get them off.
"Em, slow down. We are moving a little fast here."
"What you don't want to take a shower with me?" Pulling back, there is nothing but hurt in her eyes.
"Am I not good enough for you?"
"Em, that's not what I meant and you know it."
"Really? Then what did you mean? I'm too fat. Is that it?"
"What? Em, where did that come from?"
"Nothing, forget it."
"No. I will not forget it. Is that why you where not eating?" At that Emily turns away. "Hey, look at me." Spencer says in a soft voice full of care. "is that why you haven't been eating? Em. Do… do you think you're fat?" Slowly Spencer wraps her arms around her girl. Emily turns and buries her face in Spencer's chest and cries. "Shhh. Baby it's okay. You are safe now. You can tell me anything. I'm here for you. Always."
