Emily's POV
We went back to Dash's moms house instead of going back to the engagement party Alison's phone kept ringing "wanna get that?" I said she's laying down on my bed "can you answer it for me please?"
I nod getting up and answering it
"Hello?" I said
"Emily? What are you doing answering Alison's phone?"
It was Noel
"We're hanging out"
"Pass me Alison." He says I press mute "it's Noel" I said she gets up fast taking the phone and puts it on speaker
Alison: Hey babe
Noel: where are you? I'm at your house but your parents said you're in East End? What the hell!
Alison: I'm sorry I didn't tell you it was a last minute thing
Noel: you're with Emily. Are you cheating on me with her ? Cause I swear Alison I will hurt you
I felt my hands getting wet I look down and see I broke a pen in half without realizing it. I can't let him keep treating Alison like this
Alison : I will never im at her friends Dash and Freya's Engagement party We're heading back in two days
I look at her confused we were suppose to leave in the morning
Noel: okay then. I love you
Alison: I..love you too goodnight
She hangs up "does he Always talk to you like that?" I said she nods and looks at my hands "I um snapped a pen"
"I'm sorry I told him we're staying two days I just I need to be away from him and I know you don't like it here so it's okay if we go tomorrow-"
"Don't apologize. And For you we'll stay for two days"
She smiles "thank you Em"
I smile and Nod
-------- 3 hours later
"Where were you guys?" Hanna tells us "we just decided to head back here instead of going back to the party" I told her "how are you feeling?" She says "much better now as long as I'm away from my parents I'm good"
My phone beeps I check who it is
Ms. Hernandez : Can we talk?
I've been avoiding her for almost 3-4 weeks "who's that em?"
"The band teacher she's asking if I need any help with my music" she nods "well imma go to Spencer's room and hang out" Aria says I nod and dial Ms. Hernandez
Emily: Ms. Hernandez?
Ms.Hernandez: what did I say Emily? You can call me Mia
I nod "okay"
Mia: So I noticed you've been avoiding me
Emily: I uh yeah I have
Mia: why?
Emily: I feel awkward about what happened i know you didn't mean too but still
Mia: you're dating That Hanna girl right? The one who you saved from the harassment from her boyfriend
Emily: yeah I am. So why'd you call?
Mia: like I said we need to talk. Come by at my apartment tomorrow?
Emily: actually I'm not in Rosewood right now Hanna and I along with our friends came to East End for an engagement party
Mia: East End? Huh
Emily: yup
Mia: well okay then goodnight Emily
Emily: good night Ms. Hernandez I mean goodnight Mia
I hung up and sighed "you look bummed out" I see Alison at the door "Can I tell you something?" I said she sits on the bed "Always what's wrong?"
"Remember when I had that hickey? And you guys asked who gave me it and I said you don't know the person"
"Yes why?" She says "well you do know this person"
"Who was it?"
"Mia" I said "Mia?" She says confused "Ms. Hernandez" I said she looked at me shocked "the band teacher??"
I nod "did you guys? Did you guys have a thing or what?"
"No it's nothing like that she was drunk and well.."
"So she likes you?" She tells me I shake my head "I don't think she does Al It was the alcohol"
"Sometimes when you're drunk you wanna do things/say stuff you can't do or say when you're sober" she says I thought about it does Ms. Hernandez like me?
"Why did you tell me anyways?" She says "because I trust you."
She smiles "I'm glad because I trust you too"
