Emily's Pov

There's so many things I'm feeling right now, surprised is the main one, that's for sure. Though, happy or anything else, I'm not sure about.

"Shana gave us an address for only one of us to meet up with her tomorrow tonight" Aria hands me a napkin from the Brew with an address written on it.

"If one of us is going to meet up with her, we think it should be you," Spencer said.

"Why me?" I ask. I glance over to Hanna, who looked unsatisfied at Spencer's saying.

"Because, out of all of us, you two connected the most before she disappeared," Aria answered.

"And you want me to go? What if it's an -A trap?" I said.

"Em, we caught -A, remember? It was Mona and we haven't heard of -A ever since we put her in Radley a year ago" Spencer says, "And I will be going with you as backup,"

The room went quiet. It was true, we haven't heard from -A since we found out it was Mona. Shana had always been close to Alison ever since they were little.. This could be the truth. After a year of searching the truth and finding -A, Alison being alive seemed impossible because we all lost hope. This. This could be true and we could finally get Alison back.

"Spence, Aria," Hanna says, "Can you.." She said, telling them to go somewhere else so she could talk to me.

"Yeah," Aria nods. Spencer and her leave the room, closing the door behind them. I turn back to Hanna. She takes a deep breath and faces me.

"Are you going to be okay with this?" I ask, stepping closer to her.

""Sure" She sighs.

"Han.." I reach out for her hands and hold on to them tight.

"Are you sure about this?" She softly said.

"I need to see if this time is true," I say, "If all this is just some big set up and lie, than I promise you I'm done with all this 'Is Alison still alive drama'. I promise"

She lets go of my hands and wraps her arms around my neck. Her body pressed against mine and I felt her head in my neck. "I love you" Those words of hers lingers ever time.

I hug her back, with my arms around her waist and softly said it back. "I love you," The three words, eight letters that I know makes her heart leap as it did mine.

(The next day)

After thinking and thinking of how tonight would go, put a lot of pressure in me. Spencer was going to go with me to see Alison, but I didn't want her too. I know she's just my backup for in case something goes wrong but, why does it feel like this will go right? There's a huge part of me that feels like this is going to be real. I want to ask all my unanswered questions to her and I want to see her.. Alone. I don't know why.. I just do.

Spencer and I park in some place that looks like an abandon warehouse. "Okay, I'll give you call when I'm done" I said.

"Got it," She said.

I get out the car and walk inside the place where the address led to. With each step I take, I feel my heart beat faster and faster. I look around and there's boxes everywhere. "Emily" The hair behind my neck stands as I knew right away whose voice that belonged too.

"Ali," My breath was took away and I pulled her into my arms for a hug. "I can't believe it.." I said. She pulls away and smiles at me. "Are you coming home?" I ask.

"I don't know yet" She said, which made my chest sink. Why can't she doesn't she want to go home? Why? Is she still afraid of -A? Is she afraid?

"Why? You can come home, it's safe now" I said.

"Emily, I wanted to meet up with one of you guys because I needed you guys to know that I am coming back soon. I promise," She says, holding her warm hand on mines, "I knew it would be you that would come tonight. I had a huge feeling. Meet me at the kissing rock at 8 tomorrow night"

"Just come home now" I said.

"I just want to talk to you alone, Em" She says.

"We are alone"

"I know one of the girls came with you," She said, "I doubt you would come alone. Those girls would always have each other's back"

I didn't say much, so I just stood there my hands in hers. "Let them know I'll be back soon. Only them," She said and wrapped her arms around my neck. "Tomorrow at 8"

"I'll be there" I said, hugging her back, knowing that this won't be the last time I'll see her.

As we got back to Spencer's house, we called Hanna and Aria over.

"So what happened?" Aria asks.

"She's alive" The words that I thought would never come out my mouth. All their eyes widened. "She just said she was coming home soon and that's it" I said. Okay, I might have not mentioned her wanting to meet with me part.

"That's it?" Hanna asks.

"She doesn't want us to worry," I said

"So what do we do now?" Aria crosses her arms.

"We wait" Spencer said.

Hanna's Pov

Tonight is just another night where I sleep over at Spencer's along with Emily and Aria. Earlier at The Brew, felt awkward. I thought Emily and I moved passed that? It's only been two weeks that I have came back here and I am slowly feeling like the same Hanna two years ago, where I'm holding on to something. I feel like no matter what time of year or day it is, I can't ever let of the memories.

The sound of the popcorn popping grew faster and in no time the microwave beeped. "Popcorn's ready!" I said, walking inside of Spencer's room. I take the bag out of the microwave and sat on the on the side of bed, next to Aria.

"Kettle is better then butter," The short brunette pouts.

"That doesn't work on me, remember?" I said, referring to her puppy face.

She rolls her eyes and laughs.

Emily and Spencer sat next to each other on the floor. The movie playing was The Other Woman.. Well that's awkward..

My heart pounded and my breathing was heavy.. Around me was Spencer, Emily, and Aria, trying to hold me down, calming me down. Spencer and Aria rushed down stairs.. Emily's hands cupped my face and she said the one thing that snapped me back into reality, "Baby!"

My breathing suddenly calmed down and so did my heart. "I had a nightmare.." I said, before her words cut mine.

"I know" She said. Of course she knows, this used to happen a few times when we were together. I would have nightmares of the most random things, but most end with the feeling of falling. Though this time it was different... I had a dream of that night where I caught Emily and Alison. It was my biggest fear...

Spencer and Aria come back with water and a wet towel. "Are you okay?" Aria asks, handing me the cup of water. Spencer also hands me the wet towel and I rub my face with it before drinking the water. I look at the time, and it was 1:58am.

"I'm fine, I just had a bad dream, that's all," I said, "Just go back to sleep"

"Okay" Spencer and Aria said.

"Are you sure?" Emily asks, with her hand places on mine.

"Yeah, I'm fine" I said.

Emily went back in her side of the bed and went to sleep, while I was just trying too. It's like that night just replayed in my head over and over again.

In the morning we all had breakfast and went home. Though sometime in the after noon, Emily came at my door. "Hey, what are you doing here?" I ask. The wind from the outside started coming inside, so I step aside and let Emily in.

She walks inside and I close the door behind her. "I was just thinking and thinking and I found myself at your door," She said.

"What were you thinking about?" I ask.

"You.." She slowly said.

"It was just a nightmare, Em, I'm fine now" I said, walking into the kitchen. "Do you want some hot chocolate?" I offer, leaning against the kitchen counter. She stands in front of me, not too close, but then again, not too far. I feel my heart pumping and beating faster more and more.

"It surprised me when I calmed you down earlier when I said.. What I said," She says. I know what she talking about, she means about when she called me 'Baby'. "It calmed you down. It always did," She smiles and her eyes wonder around the room. Is she blushing? "Than it got me thinking that maybe, just maybe," She says, taking a small step closer to me where her body is just an inch or two away from my body. "Maybe you still had feelings for me" She said softly.

I froze.

"N-No" I stuttered. Shit.

"You stuttered," She said, having her arms trapping my way out.

"No I didn't," I said. Think about this, Hanna.. She broke your heart once already.

"Liar," She said. And with that it's like I got lost in her gaze. She slowly leans in and and I get lost in the moment. Her lips capture mine and I kissed her back. It's like I'm feeling the passion flow into my bones as the kiss got deeper. You promised yourself not to get your heart broken again..

I pulled away from the kiss and her forehead is presses against mines. "I can't.." I said.

She takes a step back and said, "Because of Caleb?"

"No," I say, "It's not like that with Caleb and I at all. I just need to think about this,"

"Tonight, Han," She says, "Think all you want, and when you make your mind up, my door's open till midnight"

"Em-"

"And if you don't come, I understand. It'll take some time for me, but we could continue being 'friends" She cuts my words off. Her lips press against my forehead and she walks away. I walk up to my room and crash on my bed. What do I do? There's no doubt that I still have feelings for her.. I kissed her back when I could of pushed away. The thought of being with her again scares me. It scares the living shit of me because after being with her two years ago, I was completely broken.

Do I risk it all and be with her again?

Happy New Year! One of my resolutions this year is too update more faster, including my other stories. Though I barely get enough time because of school/finals/etc.. Leave a review!
