RHS Reunion

Ali's pov

"Sorry about her" Paige says, tapping me on the shoulder

"What?" I question

"Sorry about Sophie. I told her that you have changed but she was adamant that she was going to say something to you"

"Sophie?" Emily asks

"Yes, my fiancée"

"You never told me that it was Sophie McLaughlin you were marrying"

"I didn't want you to know" Paige admits, placing her hand on Emily's arm which instinctively makes my blood boil

"Why?" Em asks

"Because I always shouted at you for liking Alison as well as me and I didn't want you to think I liked Sophie when I was dating you. Me and Sophie only became a thing after us"

"Great story. See you at your wedding" I muster a smile while pulling Emily away from her

Aria and Ezra finish their conversation with Ezra's old coworkers and our old teachers, before joining us at the corner of the hall

"You guys always used to be the centre of attention. It's weird to see you hiding in the corner" Moan smiles and I can't tell whether she's just being bitchy or whether she is actually surprised

"Where is Hanna?" Aria asks

We all shrug our shoulders before Mona pulls her phone out of her handbag and texts Hanna to ask where she is. Hanna and Caleb arrive one hour late, explaining that Conrad was fussy and didn't want Hanna to leave so they had to wait until he was asleep to sneak out of the house leaving Mrs. Marin with the kids.

Emily's pov

The whole night we attempt to socialise with the least amount of people as we possibly can however, our successful night without talking to our classmates is shattered when Sean comes over to talk to Hanna

"Oh my god Sean" Hanna shouts, pulling him into a hug

"Wait can I say that in front of you?" She blushes as we awkwardly watch

"Yes Han, you can say god. I'm a priest, not your mother" he laughs, straightening his dog-collar

"Well it was good to see you" Sean quickly says as he watches Caleb wrap his arm around Hanna as if to remind Sean that she is his wife

"Oh okay. I'll maybe see you around?" Hanna asks, surprised by how short their conversation was

"Bye Hanna"

"Bye Sean"

We all exchange a warm smile as he walks back towards the centre of the hall

Ali's pov

"It's shit seeing your wife's exes. Isn't it?" Caleb whispers to me

"Very" I whisper back, while my eyes dart between Ben and Paige

"Talking of exes" I nudge Caleb, pointing towards Travis who is making his way towards Hanna

Emily's pov

"Do any of you have children?" Travis asks after a shot time of small talk between him and Hanna.

"We all do. Toby and I have a daughter called Abigail, she's three"

"Me and Emily have three children. Twin daughters, Lily and Grace who are nine and a baby boy Emerson who is only a few weeks old"

"Me and Aria's brother Mike. Who is sadly working tonight have a daughter, her name is Hanna. After my bestie. She is two" Mona smiles, hugging Hanna

"Aria and Mr Fitz, what about you?" Travis asks

We all twitch with awkwardness when he refers to Ezra as Mr. Fitz

"We have two, Leo who's seven and Zoë who is four"

"Han?" Travis smiles

"Just like Emily and Alison we have three kids. Carson is eight, Harper is three and Conrad is two"

"What about you Travis? Do you have any children of your own?" Toby politely asks, even though none of us care

"I have a daughter who is seven. And actually her name is also Hanna"

Hanna's eyes fly between us, Caleb and Travis as she wonders if he too named his daughter after her. However, we will never find out because before anyone has time to build up the courage to ask, he notices one of his old friends and leaves.

"This is fucking awkward. I mean I don't want to seem as if I am full of myself but, we were the it girls and now...now everyone seems to hate us" Alison sighs

"I used to love when people stared but now I feel as if their eyes are never off us...for all the wrong reasons" Aria mutters while scuffling her feet

"Who wants to ditch this and get so drunk that we can't stand up anymore?" Hanna cheers

"We can't. We need to get home to Emerson"

"Pam's looking after him. Come on. Please. Let's go"

I make them all promise that we are only going out for a few drinks; so that we can all get back to our young children.

"Okay" they all agree

As we sneak out principle Hackett stands up for a speech, he begins his speech by thanking everyone for coming and then asks for "The class of 2012, homecoming and prom Kings and Queens" to come up on the stage. We all look at Hanna wondering if she is going to go up but just as she did during homecoming she walks straight out the door and leaves Sean on the stage by himself.  We follow behind her, waking past Ali and Ezra's classroom before sneaking out of the school and going to the nearest bar.
