Previously...
SpencerSpencer walked down the steps and across the street towards Emily's house. She adjusted her shirt as she stood at the door. She knocked and waited for Emily.
HannaHanna walked over to Aria's house and knocked on the door. Hopefully someone would be home so she could hide.... Hanna thought as she hid the sunglasses she just stole in her purse.
EmilyEmily was startled as she heard a knock on the door. It was kinda late and she was working on a dreadfully long history paper. Slightly annoyed she stood from her desk and desended the stairs. Before turning the knob she lightly brushed a long stand of hair from her face. The door swung open and there stood Spencer adjusting her clothes. 'They always have to be perfect.' she thought to herself and chuckled a bit. 'Hey Spencer! What brings you around so late?' She said and gave a small smile.
Spencer"Well I wanted to see if I could stay here tonight..my mom is going nuts over something I'm unaware of what but her and my dad have been fighting over it all night" Spencer sighed.
EmilyEmily looked at Spencer and thought for a moment. "Umm, Yea, I'm sure my mom will be fine with that. Especially since it's a Saturday night. Why don't we see if Hanna and Aria want to come too, we can make it a foursome. Aria texted me a little bit ago and said Hanna was over at her place and she needed some help anyways, so we might as well all be there for her!" Emily paused. "Why don't you go to the kitchen and grab some food. I'll run upstairs and find some extra blankets and meet you back here in 5." Emily turned and quickly ran up the stairs and into her room slamming the door behind her. She let out a small giggle and pulled Maya in for semi-long kiss! "I hate to do this to you, but I don't think we need anyone finding out what we doing up here together!" She winked at Maya and watched her climb out the window and shimmey down the side of her house! Maya blew Emily a kiss and she ran off into the darkness. Emily turned around and gasped, startled she yelped, "Spencer!" Realizing she didn't have any blankets, she grimaced and waited to see if Spencer had saw anything.
SpencerShe gulped and looked at Emily. "Em....tell me the truth here...did I just see what I think I saw?" Spencer asked a little shocked by the fact that she just found her best friend in bed with another girl.
EmilyEmily shifted her eye's from Spencer to her feet, then back to Spencer again. She noticed she was tapping her foot rapidly and her palms were getting clamy. "I...I...Um, well...what do you think you saw? Because, um, that was just the new neighbor, Maya. She was hanging out here for a bit!" Emily wondered if Spencer would buy the innocent act or if she would have to reveal her little secret to her friend. Admitting what was going on to one of her friends, made her heart race a bit. She gave a half smile to Spencer, who was still standing in the doorway, as a drop of sweat fell from her forehead and landed on her shoe.
MayaMaya missed her sweet girl eventhough she saw her a few minutes ago. But she still felt a little bit unsure about the whole thing. She didn't want to be Emilys dirty little secret because that would mean that it's not right what they are doing. How can love be something bad?! She didn't get those ppl who hated on gay ppl.
She wrote her a message:
Hey babe,
I miss u =( hope we'll spend some time after your training!
love you Maya <3
EmilyEmily jumped a little as the silence was broken by a vibration in her pocket. She looked nervously at Spencer as she reached for the phone in her pocket. She almost hit silence, but was afraid it was something important. Or Hanna and Aria texting her back if they were coming over. So as she held the phone close to her thigh just glancing down at it she saw it was a text from Maya. Now Emily was sure her face was about a thousand shades of red. She was going to put it back in her pocket and read it later, but she was to tempted to read what her girlfriend had to say. Emily smiled a bit as she read the message. She loved that Maya would text her only moments after they had parted. She hated keeping Maya a secret, but she wasn't sure of how to tell everyone. Especially her parents. But it looked as the time may have come a bit early and unplanned as Spencer was standing beside her trying to figure it all out right this very moment. She didn't want to put the text off 'til later so she said, "Sorry." and gave an apologetic look to Spencer, then quickly typed:
Miss u 2. defo will. txt u again soon. luv u.
<3 Emily
Even tho Emily knew this had all taken place over a few mere seconds, it felt like forever with Spencer's gaze searing thru her skin. Emily slid the phone back in to her pocket and looked back at Spencer to see what she was going to say next.
MayaMaya had to wait a lil while until the message arrived. She looked at her phone and smiled as she saw that it was her lover. But she still felt this bad feeling about Emily hiding her.She was so in love that she wanted to cry out and tell it everybody but she would wait until Emily's ready for it. She knew that the main point of her fear was her father and if she thought of her own one she got also frightend but at the other hand it didn't matter her what her dad or mom thought about it. Maya would never give up on Emily because of someone telling her to do that. She knew that she did nothing wrong. How could something that feels so good be wrong?! That wouldn't make sense and she wouldn't understand the world anymore if loving someone could be a mistake.
HannaHanna took out her cell phone and texted Emily back.
Hey Em, I'll be there in a few
<3 you,
Hanna
Spencer"Well it looked like you were making out with a girl..." Spencer said. "Not that there's a problem with that" She was nervous that Emily would get mad at her. "Please don't be mad at me for walking in on you Em!" Spencer said stepping closer to her friend.
EmilyEmily heard the words come from Spencer's mouth, but for a moment she was unable to process them. Just as Spencer stepped in closer to her, she felt that familiar vibration in her pocket. Emily pulled the phone from her pocket with a bit of difficulty. Her palms were so clamy the phone stuck to it. She looked down and sighed a bit of relief. "It's Hanna." Emily informed Spencer, "She says she'll be over in a few." Then her relief turned to panic as Spencer's words finally set in. "...Making out with a girl..." She thought. "Well, yes, that's what I was doing, but it's taken so long for me to be able to accept myself, how can I expect others to accept me?" She was pulled from her thoughts as she remembered Spencer was still standing there waiting for an answer. Emily scratched her head softly and squinted her eyes a bit. "I'm not mad Spencer. I...I...I just don't know what to say." She muttered. "Spencer said she didn't see a problem with it...so maybe it would be ok..." So many other things were racing through her mind as well. Hanna was on her way over, she had just sent her girlfriend out her bedroom window...on the second story...Spencer caught her. "Am I going to have to tell Hanna too? Maybe I shouldn't have sent Maya away. Oi." Emily could tell Spencer was getting annoyed at her lack of attention to the subject. "Well, I guess in short, Maya is my girlfriend. And to my dismay I just sent her out my window. Because...well, I don't know. Embarrassment, shame, rejection? I'm not sure what's stopped me. I care about her so much and I don't want to be afraid. I don't want to hide her. I can't believe I sent her out my window for pete's sake. She probably hates me for that. I probably will need to fix that up. I'm stuck Spence. I don't know what to do. What about my parents?!" Emily took a really deep breath as she has talked herself all the way out of air. Emily crinkled her brow and gave an exasperated look to Spencer.
SpencerSpencer tried to absorb what was told to her. She looked down, then back to Emily. She wanted to be there for Emily so she didn't have to be afraid. "Oh...well I'm happy for you Em..." Spencer smiled. "If you don't want to tell anyone else we don't have to, I won't tell. It'll be our secret" Spencer said, she stepped closer and hugged her friend.
EmilyEmily gently, yet slightly awkwardly, wrapped her arms around Spencer when she came at her with a hug. The fact that someone besides herself and Maya knew about the two of them dating was an odd feeling. Almost freeing. She wasn't sure if she wanted to keep it a secret from everyone else. Maybe it would be ok if her other friends knew as well. "I'll decide later." she thought to herself. "Since we got a bit side tracked would you mind getting the extra blankets out Spence? I have to send a text." She smiled her 'I need a favor smile'. Emily pulled her phone out once again and began to text Maya.
hey babe. sry bout b4. i feel bad 4 sndin u out the windo. :/ spencer knos. she saw us kissng. its ok tho. kinda freein actly. we cn talk more bout it l8r. luv u.
<3 Emily
Emily smiled as she hit send. She missed Maya when she wasn't around. That intense honeymoon phase of the relationship was still in play. When Emily looked up Spencer was standing there with an armfull of blankets. "What now?"
Hanna:Hanna walked onto Emily's porch and knocked on the door. She didn't bring anything with her because she figured she could always share with one of the other girls. She took out her cell phone and texted Emily.
Hey Emy, I'm here!
She hit send then put her phone in her pocket.
Emily"Nevermind Spence." Emily laughed as she grabbed the phone which she had laid beside her on the edge of the bed. Emily's question had been answered by a text from Hanna, letting her know she was on the porch. Emily grabbed Spencer's hand and dragged her behind her down the stairs. Emily swung the door open, and standing before her was the ever so beautiful Hanna, looking perfect as ever, even tho it was late at night, and everyone else was beggining to look a bit of a mess. "Hey Hanna, come on in! We were just..." Emily paused and carefully chose her words. For now she was going to leave the whole 'girlfriend' conversation out. "Well we were just getting blankets and snacks ready! You just came from Aria's right? Do you know if she's coming? She never texted back!" Emily ushered Hanna inside and shut the door behind her. The three girls stood in the fourier together. Emily shifted her gaze from Hanna to Spencer, and gave a half smile.
MayaMaya was watching "Wild Things 3" when she felt her phone vibration. She took her phone and read the message. Quickly a smile appeared on her face. She began to text back:
Hey honey it's ok! I thought 'bout the whole situation and I understand ur fear! Hm that's great but I hope we can trust her! I wished u could be hear holding me! I feel so lonely without u! =( ... but it's a relief for me to know spending a lot time with you tomorrow!
can't stop thinking of u!
luv u more!
<3 M.
SpencerSpencer had just gotten the blankets before being tugged down the steps and to the door only to see hanna. She gulped as Emily spoke. "Want to go watch a movie guys?" Spencer asked breaking the momentary silence. She was glad Emily trusted her enough to tell her about Maya, but she was also nervous how this would effect her and Emily's friendship.
EmilyEmily jumped at the idea. "A movie sounds great!" She said leading everyone to the living room and pulling out a selection of dvd's. "What do you want to watch? You guys choose!" Emily suggested as she grabbed a fleece blanket and plopped down in the corner of the sofa. She had felt her phone buzz a couple of minutes ago so she got it out and saw that it was Maya. Emily grinned as she read the text but caught herself and quickly put back on her poker face. She waited a few moments until the girls had the movie in and were settled and she got up and started heading to the kitchen. "I'm going to grab the snacks. Be right back." She whispered. Emily moved down the hallway and into the kitchen where she grabbed the chips and soda, and a bag of m&ms. Before she returned to the living room she stopped and leaned against the counter thinking about what to reply to her girl.
dont wry we can trust her. i wish i was w/ u 2. were wtchin a dvd. im xcited 4 r day tmr 2 babe. ill b able 2 hold u soon.
love em
Emily pressed send and laughed at how ironic it was that Maya was worried about trusting Spencer. After all, secrets keep us close, and we are good at keeping them. We know all about that topic. Emily rolled her eyes and grabbed the food. When she got back to the living room, she threw a bag of chips at Hanna's head, who was sitting on the floor, and laughed, and handed Spencer a can of coke. Emily opened the bag of candy and snuggled back up in her little corner of the couch, stretching her long legs across to the other side and onto Spencer's lap. She wiggled her toes slightly to irritate Spencer just a bit and giggled.
SpencerSpencer took a sip of her soda and looked down at Emily's feet as she wiggled her toes. She set her soda down on the table and looked over at Emily. "Em stop moving your toes its annoying" She said leaning back against the couch.
MayaMaya read the message and put her phone in her pocket. Her mother called for her so she went downstairs. Her mother told her to go to the supermarket and buy some stuff. She nodded and went to her room because she couldn't find her keys. Then she remembered that she had forgotten them at Emilys Place. "****!" she sighed. She thought of her key. On her key she had a keychain with Emily and her name on it in a heart. She began to get nervous because she thought that Emily would be mad at her if one of her friends find that keychain. She picked her phone out of her pocket and called Emily. After she picked up she said:"Em ...you have to find my key I forgot it in your room! Our names are on it on my keychain in a heart! If your mom finds that it would suck! Can I come over pick it up? I have to buy something from the Supermarket!" she spoke a little bit quickly.

Hanna:Hanna smiled and stood up.
"I have to grab my phone out of my purse, then I'm gonna throw my purse in your room... I'll be right back" Hanna said, she walked out of the room and into the hall, she picked up her purse then walked up the steps. She took her cell phone out, then walked into Emily's room. She set her purse on Emily's bed then turned around. She started out of the room, but stopped when she saw the keychain on the night stand. She picked it up and her eyes widened when she saw the names in the heart, 'Maya' 'Emily'. Emily's gay?... She thought, she had to know the truth. She walked out of the room and down the steps, she decided she would wait til later to find out so she put the keychain in her pocket.
"Back" She said as she walked into the living room and took out her cell phone, she texted Aria again.
Hey Ari, where r u? R u comin to Emy's? - She hit send then relaxed against the couch as the movie started.
EmilyEmily widened her eyes and crinkled her nose, giving Spencer an inncocent puppy dog face. She pulled her feet in close to her, wrapping her arms around her knees. The phone beside her buzzed as Hanna popped up off the floor. "...in your room... I'll be right back." Emily heard in the back of her mind as she answered her phone in a small whisper. "Sorry, we're watching a movie. What's up?" Emily listened to Maya for a moment and then dropped the phone. "Wa.." Emily began to say as she threw her arm in Hanna's direction. It was too late. She was already down the hall and up the stairs. Emily rubbed her temples with her thumb and forefinger and sighed. She threw a glance at Spencer who was was more into the movie that she probably should have been at this point. Emily decided to wait until Hanna came back and she would give an excuse to leave. Emily's head perked up as she remembered Maya on the line. She picked up her phone and quickly placed it against her ear. "Sorry! I'm here. Hanna just went up to my room. Let me call you back in a sec." Emily clicked the phone off and waited for Hanna.
***
Emily watched as Hanna entered the room and plopped back down against the couch. "Man, she was gone along time." Emily thought. "I have to make a call quick!" Emily wispered into the darkness. "I'll be right back." Emily dialed Maya as she ran up the stairs. "Ok, I'm looking for it now. Where did you say you left it? Yea it's not there."
MayaMaya was wondering what happened because she couldn't hear Emily anymore she just heard a little bit of the movie playing in the background. "Emily? Emiiii?" she cried in the phone. It took a while until her girlfriend talked again: "Ok babe I'm waiting! Hurry up!" she said. She walked a lil bit nervous in her room.
When her phone rang she picked it quickly up and explained where she left her keys. "****! But it have to be there! I can't remember that I took them with me! ...you said Hanna was in your room! Could it be that she saw it?! ****! If she did she could have seen my keychain you gave me last week!" she felt guilty now for letting something that important careless in the room. If Emilys Mom would have seen it they could have a bigger Problem. "Just ask her darling! Maybe she wanted to ask you out about it?! I need them now! My mom would kill me if I lose them!" she said annoyed about herself.
EmilyEmily bent down on the floor and looked under the nightstand. She threw some clothes from one pile to another on her floor. She shined a flashlight out the window where Maya had exited. "I don't see them anywhere, May." Emily said a bit panicky. "Let me run down stairs. I'll ask the girls if they have seen them." Emily hoped Spencer had, because if anyone else had she would have some explaining to do. Again. "Love you, I'll call you right back." Emily said into the speaker and clicked her phone off.
Downstairs the girls were busy watching the movie. Emily shook Spencer a bit to get her attention. "Spence, have you seen Maya's key's? She needs them and I can't find them anywhere." Spencer shrugged at Emily and she sighed. Taking a deep breath she squatted down beside Hanna and spoke softly. "Have you seen um...my um...friend, Maya's keys? She must have left them here earlier. I thought maybe you saw them when you were upstairs?" Emily smiled nervously.
