A/N: HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! Welcome to my first Spemily One-Shot of the year and hopefully it won't be the last. I am going to try my very best to keep posting as many one-shots for Spemily as I can.
So, over the passed week I have been watching old but new episodes/scenes from a show called All My Children. I think I have almost watched all scenes with Bianca in them. Bianca is my favourite character on AMC, I hate what they did to her romantic life, giving her someone and then having them cheat or killed off. Anyway, my point is, I set myself another challenge which was to write a story inspired by AMC for all my one-shot stories. This challenge took a few days but today, I finally finished it; which I am quite proud of.
Please enjoy this latest One-Shot of Spemily ~KJ99
Feelings Spilling Over
One step, two step, three step...I thought as I entered the high school gymnasium. It was homecoming and with recently coming out, no one seem to want to take m as their date; no one wanted to be seen with the freak of the week. But, I had bought a ticket at the request of my friends, Hanna was homecoming Queen and she needed my vote and Spencer had organised the whole dance.
However, Spencer could ask me to jump off a cliff and I would. In my coming out, I had been spared in revealing my more than friends feelings for Spencer. Which was good thing, since Spencer's date tonight was my good friend Toby. Toby, is an amazing guy; especially after I told him I was gay. He didn't ask question that others had, he just stood by my side. So, the last thing I wanted to do was hurt him.
"Hey, you made it," Spencer called as I joined the group. Hanna's date was Sean, Aria's date was Noel and Spencer's date was Toby.
"Yeah. I like living," I say and they laughed understanding the joke.
Sean offered "Well, you are more than welcome to share my date," I smiled up at the gesture.
Hanna said "One dance, please Emily?"
"Of course Hanna," I say never being able to say no to Hanna, either.
Noel spoke up as well "Well, if Sean is offering then I better and I know Aria really wants to dance with you."
"Really?" I asked looking at Aria.
"You better believe it," Aria answered.
Toby said "We've shared everything since we were five years old trading card, video games, even shoes at one point. So, what's mine Emily is yours; you know that."
"Yeah, I do," I say stepping into Toby's open arms for a hug.
"Aww," I heard the girls say making me roll my eyes.
"Oh, this is my favourite song. Come on Emily!" Hanna shouted taking my arm and lead me out onto the dance floor.
Looking around the gym as I leaned against the wall, it looked incredibly. Spencer had put so much work into this dance and it had really paid off. It was the middle of the night, I had already dance with both Hanna and Aria. Twice with Hanna actually, after she was announce homecoming Queen; she insisted on dancing with me.
"Hey you," Spencer said as she duck underneath some balloons to face me.
"Hi," I said taking a sip of my punch.
"What are you doing here by yourself?"
"Nothing," I shrug unsure.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing," I said just as a group of girls walk passed laughing.
"What did they do?"
"Nothing. It was just a mistake for me come here is all. I'm just going to head home," I said and made my way to the exit.
"Emily, wait!" Spencer called. Stopping me by running in front of me, in the hallway.
Spencer asked "What happened? I want the truth."
"It's nothing, it's just the same thing I've been getting all week."
"What do you mean?"
"Come on Spencer, people here they aren't okay with me and I don't blame them."
"Don't you ever say that again," Spencer said with fire in her eyes.
"I should never have come out, it was so stupid. I'm stupid. Dammit, why can't I be normal? Why does everything have to happen to me? I just wish I could disappear, forever," I said honestly to Spencer.
"Never say that again," Spencer said charging into my arms.
Spencer said "I don't want you to disappear Emily, I need you in my life. Who else am I going to talk sports with?" I laughed a little at Spencer's words.
"I'm sorry Spencer. It's just hard."
"I know Emily, I know. Hey, what's that?" Spencer asked moving my hair, making me wince.
Spencer asked "That's a burn, it wasn't there before. Who did this to you?"
"It's nothing I can't handle, just leave it."
"But someone is hurting you."
"I still owe you a dance."
"Don't change the subject."
"I'm not, I'm just asking. Do you want to dance with me?"
"Yes, I do but I also want to know who gave you that burn."
"Just leave it. Come on, you put so much work into this night. You should be enjoying this."
"Fine but we are talking about this later."
"I'd expect nothing less from you Hastings," I say making Spencer smile. Walking back into the gym with Spencer on my arm, we walked straight over to the dancefloor just as a slow song began to play; 'Can't fight this feeling' to be exact.
Spencer smiled as couples began to slow their dancing, she asked "Do you still want to dance?"
"Do you?" I asked back. Without another word Spencer took my hand in hers and pull me in closer to her. Together we slowly swayed from side-to-side along with the music. When Spencer felt comfortable enough to rest her head upon my chest, I couldn't help but smile at how comfortable and right this felt.
I whispered into Spencer's ears "And I can't fight this feeling anymore, I've forgotten what I started fighting for. It's time to bring this ship into the shore and throw away the oars, forever."
"You have a beautiful voice, I continue please," Spencer wished and what she wished, she got from me at least.
"Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore, I've forgotten what I started fighting for and if I have to crawl upon the floor. Come crashing through your door, baby, I
can't fight this feeling anymore." As I sang the words, I thought they couldn't be anymore truer in this moment. My feelings for Spencer, I was struggling to keep them at bay. The only reason I had managed for so long was because was of the person watching us right now, Toby.
"My life has been such a whirlwind since I saw you, I've been running round in circles in my mind and it always seems that I'mm following you girl, cause you take me to the places that alone I'd never find."
Spencer whispered "I forget how beautiful your voice is. I wished you'd sing more."
"And even as I wander I'm keeping you in sight, you're a candle in the window on a cold, dark winter's night and I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might."
Pulling back slightly from Spencer, I sung looking into her eyes "And I can't fight this feeling anymore, I've forgotten what I started fighting for. It's time to bring this ship into the shore and throw away the oars, forever. Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore, I've forgotten what I started fighting for and if I have to crawl upon the floor. Come crashing through your door, baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore." While singing I looked into Spencer's eyes and I swore I saw something in them that I had never seen before. When I felt a pull to kiss Spencer, I almost gave in until I caught a glimpse of Toby over Spencer's shoulder.
"I can't," I say before turning around and walking away; leaving Spencer standing on the dancefloor alone.
As I walked out of the gym for the second time that night, I could feel tears slightly running down my cheek. I had been so close and it felt like Spencer wanted to but we couldn't, we never could.
"Emily! Emily Fields!" I heard being shouted from behind me. Stopping, I turn to see Toby walking to catch up with me.
"I'm sorry," I say getting ready for a punch.
Toby spoke "Emily, I'm not going to hit you."
"Your not?" I questioned opening an eye up to assess the situation.
"No."
"Okay, but why not?"
"Because I've known about your feelings for Spencer, forever."
"You have?"
"Yes. You don't exactly hide your feelings very well."
"You know me, I'm a heart on the sleeve kind of girl."
"You are, which is why this friendship works so well."
I smiled before saying "I have to go."
"What about your date?"
"What are you talking about?"
"Spencer, she has feelings for you too. When things weren't working between us, she told me it was because she has feelings for you. I knew about your feelings for her. We kind of planned this night to be your first date, please don't be mad."
"I was on my first date and I didn't know it?"
"Yeah."
"Dammit, I hope I wasn't a jerk."
"You weren't," I heard Spencer's voice say as she walked up to join us.
Toby said looking at me "Don't feel bad, I'm happy for you Emily. Now, get the girl you've always want." Toby lightly punched my shoulder in encouragement before walking away from us.
Looking at Spencer, I ask "You have feelings for me?"
"And you have feelings for me?" Spencer asked back.
I smiled and asked "Why didn't you tell me?"
"Same question."
"Fear," we said at the same time.
"I'm not afraid anymore, Spencer."
"Good," Spencer said stepping into my personal bubble. Without even another word being said, Spencer leant forward and we shared our first kiss.
"Yes," I heard Toby shout down the hall making me smile but I continued to kiss Spencer. Bring my hand up to the back of her head, I held her in place. I could feel Spencer's hands running up and down my back, it was a feeling I could get use to.
Pulling back from Spencer after five minutes of kissing, I say "Have Mercy."
"You have got to find a new show to watch," Spencer said breaking out of my arms.
"I'll have you know Full House is a classic show and I will never stop watching it."
"Good," Spencer said with a coy smile and offering my hand.
Spencer said "Let's go dance."
"Okay," I agreed taking her hand.
I asked as we walked "Spencer, will you be my girlfriend?"
"Yes, Emily. I thought you'd never ask." Spencer leant over to peck my cheek. Walking back into the gym again, I could feel eyes on me but I didn't care because I was in Spencer's arms and she was in mine. Plus, Spencer has just said yes to being my girlfriend; everyone can get screwed after that.
"I love your smile, Em," Spencer whispered as her arms wrapped around my neck and mine fell to her waist.
"I love you."
"So smooth," Spencer said with a shake of the head. We continued to dance for the rest of homecoming night, everyone was invisible to us. It was just Spencer and I on the dancefloor, no one else existed.
The End.
