Hands in between legs, looking down at the floor, feeling awkward looking emotional. Emily was annoyed at her thoughts for confusing the way she's feeling.
"Dinner's ready" says Ezra dishing it up in the table. Aria and Emily move over to the dinner table. Emily on one side opposition Aria and Ezra on the end.
"Smells delicious" exclaims Aria.

They all tuck in and enjoy their meal. Emily sits silently still afraid to say a word. It doesn't take long to finish the meal and so Emily takes a trip to the bathroom.
"Is it ok if I just use the bathroom?" Asks Emily.
"Sure, it's just over there" directs Aria. Emily goes to freshen up and tries to make herself see sense.

Emily POV-
I can't help but restrain myself from doing anything. I need to toughen up because a lot a things can go wrong here. C'mon Emily. You can do this. Just gotta get through at least another hour and then your out. Oh no! What's this? A drop of water streams down my face. Why am I crying? There's no need? What is happening? I better wipe these away before Aria shows more sympathy and my feelings are more literal than made up.

Emily walks in and sits back at the table. She gives a friendly smile to show that she's trying to be confident.
"Do you need a hand cleaning up?" Emily asks.
"No I should be fine thanks. You go sit on the couch or chair get comfortable." Exclaims Ezra. Aria and Ezra exchange glances as they witness Emily's emotions.

Emily went to sit down on that chair while Aria sat on the couch waiting for Ezra to come sit down. Aria spots that Emily is crying and goes and sits next to her on the floor.
"Emily," says Aria.
"What are you so afraid of? We've forgiven you for yesterday. Nothing really happened."
Emily sprung up and tried running to the door but was just broke down in the middle of the room.
"I can't do this anymore," she cries.
"It's changed me it's ruined me, I...I" she continues.
"What is it Emily?" Asks Aria. Emily looks over at Ezra and cries even harder. She knows that once she says what's on her mind he would look at her differently.
"Is it to do with Ezra?" Asks Aria.
"No, nothing happened. It's just... It's just once I say what I'm about to say he'll look at me differently. You'll both look at me differently" she cries out.
"Emily, I'm sure I won't. Come on spill. You shouldn't have to be afraid to tell us." Says Ezra looking worryingly at Emily.

Aria's POV-
What is it that Emily is hiding? What is she so afraid of that she can't tell us? Has A done something to her? What is it? I feel so sorry for Emily. Why is she going through all of this?

Emily's POV-
Even when my eyes are watering I can still capture how beautiful she looks. How can I tell my best friend that I love her as more than just a friend? This isn't the life I wanted to live? I shouldn't have these sorts of feelings for Aria. What's happening to me?

"I'm in love with you" she cries.
"I'm in love with you Aria. She falls into Aria's arms crying out her pain and emotions. She falls to the floor and cries in her hands. Ezra turns round in shock at what Emily said. Aria looks stunned and can't find the right words. She sinks down to Emily's level and grabs her in her arms.
"Oh, Em" she sympathises for Emily even though she's put right in the middle. Ezra is lost for words and abruptly walks over and sits on the couch. Emily looks up at Ezra and feels angry at herself for what has happened.
"I'm so sorry Ezra. I'm sorry."
