Emily pov

Imagine if your life was perfect. You had a great house, job, friends and family. Well that's what I have but I don't look at my life as perfect, for some reason I am just not happy. Trust me I love my job, friends and family, but something is missing. Me, Hanna, Aria and Spencer have been A free for 6 years and we all have moved on and realized what it is like to be A free and trust me it feels great. But still something is missing and every now and then I have a feeling it is because of HER.

"Ms. Fields, Ms. Fields" I here a young voice say

I break out of my thoughts and look at my favorite student Estella.

"Yes Estella?" I say

"Can I try to swim without my floaties today" She smiles

One of my jobs is to work as a swim teacher for little kids and I love it. I love seeing these kids enjoy swimming just as much as I did when I was younger and watching them love life and be free.

"Are you sure?" I say to Estella

"Yup" she says popping the 'p'

I jump into the pool and come back up to see Estella giggling, I love her laugh. It almost reminds me of HER but that's not possible.

"K jump" I tell her

She jumps in and I catch her. Once she start kicking I let go and she starts swimming around the pool she has the biggest smile on her face.

"Your doing it" I tell her

She swims back over to me and I pick her up and hug her.

"I did it, I did it!" she cheers

"I'm so proud of you" I smile

"I wouldn't have done it without you. Thank you thank you thank you!" she says wrapping her arms around my neck hugging me.

All I do is smile, this is the reason I love this job.

"Estella" Her nannie says "time to go"

Estella lets go and gets out of the pool.

"Bye Ms. Fields" she waves

"Bye Estella" I wave back

The rest of the day I taught my other classes and went home.

Your probably wondering were I live. Well after college two years ago I moved back to Rosewood. Surprising as it was I actually missed the place, so now I live in my old house, since my mom moved to Texas, and have two jobs. One is obviously the swim teacher and the other is the swim coach at Rosewood High. I liked teaching Sydney back in high school so I decided to make a career out of it. So my life really is just practice all week and teaching on Saturdays, nothing else. I use to have a girlfriend, Paige, but we broke up a year ago because she didn't want to live in Rosewood. I was fine that she left we didn't have that spark we use to have. So now it is just me, I do have some friends at work but not like the connection I had with the other girls.

When I get in my house the first thing I did was plop my self on the couch, I am so tired. Thank god today is Saturday, that means I am free tomorrow. I start to fall asleep till I hear my phone go off. Of course it's Hanna. Me and the girls still talk all the time but its harder to meet up and see each other.

E-"Hello" I groan

H-" Well hello to you to, miss grumpy" Hanna teases

E-"Sorry I'm just tired" I apologize

H-"Its fine. How was your day" She asks

E-"Actually pretty good, one of my students learned how to swim by herself" I say

H-"That's great, which one" Hanna says happily

E-"Estella" I answer

H-"Oh, the one who looks like HER" Hanna sneered

I can literally see Hanna rolling her eyes through the phone

E-"Hey stop" I tell her

H-"Stop what?" she asked innocently

E-"You know what, don't use that voice." I spoke

H-"You need to get over her Emily" she said annoyed

E-"I am" I say

H-"Ya and I'm done eating junk food" Hanna says sarcastically

E-"Whatever" I say

H-"Any way...I'm free tomorrow so I am picking you up and we are going out" Hanna says excitedly

E-"No" I complain

H-"What you don't want to hang out with your best friend" Hanna says hurt

E-"Its not that. Tomorrow I am free, I don't want to do anything" I say

H-"Well who cares. Got to go be ready for 10 tomorrow. Bye bitch" Hanna says

E-"Bye" I laugh

Well so much for a free Sunday.
