A few days later at Beverly's Cafe Emberly was leaning against the counter, her elbows resting on it as she watched Spencer work from behind. Spencer had a shift before school and had called her over. 

"Wow. 25 years?" Emberly asks her brows raised in shock. 

"Crazy, right? You ever wonder what we're gonna be in 25 years?" Spencer asks. 

"I don't even know what I'm going to be doing tomorrow." Emberly says. 

Spencer chuckled. "You're still coming, right?" Spencer asks referring to the barbecue that was going on later that day. 

"To the reunion barbecue? Isn't that just for families?" Emberly asks. 

 "Yeah, but my pops is gonna be there. You all ain't spend no time together, and I want that to change." Spencer tells her. 

"Ok." Emberly gave a smile. If it was important to Spencer, then it was important to her.

She was happy to hear that Spencer was happy being with Corey. It seemed like things between the father and son were going great. 

 "Ok." Spencer smiles back as two leaned over sharing a kiss. "Come on. We gonna be late." Spencer walks from behind the counter. 

"Oh, I'll I'll just drop you at school." Emberly tells him as she goes over to another table where her things were spread on the table with her backpack purse. 

"You skipping again?" Spencer asks. This was her third or fourth time skipping school this week.

"Yeah. I'm not feeling it today." Emberly responds as she packed her things up insider her purse. 

Spencer starred at her, his mind going back to when he saw the pill bottle. That night after seeing that he couldn't even sleep. His mind ran wild full of thoughts. Seeing that pill bottle, it scared him. 

Spencer was now more concerned than before. That's why he had been trying his best to spend more time with her and be around her. The barbecue he had mentioned a minute ago, he was double checking to make sure she would go, because he was afraid she would skip going and be left alone. And he didn't want to think about what she would do alone. 

"Emberly, I got to ask you something." Spencer says his tone serious. 

"Yeah?" Emberly  turned around looking to him as she zipped her bag up. 

Spencer didn't say anything for a second. He thought he would have had enough courage to ask what the pills were for, why did she have them, but as she looked at him, he couldn't do it. 

"What are you gonna do today?" He asked instead of the question he really wanted to ask.  

"I don't know. Maybe I might just go see a psychic and see where I'll be in 25 years." Emberly says. 

"All right. Well, you want some company?" Spencer asks. 

"I don't need a babysitter." Emberly tells him. 

"I know. You're not the only one who could use a day off. Just no psychics though, please." Spencer says. 

"Cool." Emberly smiled.

After the couple left the Cafe, they went to see a movie. Emberly found it weird that Spencer had skipped school with her because he never did that, but she did enjoy the time they spent together. After the movie, the couple headed back to Spencer's house.
