"S-Spencer?" She gulped running from behind the counter. "Wh-When did you?" I stutter. "Don't ask questions oh my goodness, Alison you-you're alive.." She gasps. "I'll t-take you girls home." She nods steering us in the direction of the car. We all bundled into the car, the car didn't have much room so Aria was forced to sit on my lap which I didn't mind. "Can someone give me the address?" Melissa asks tapping the gps. "Oh yeah I'll give it to you." Emily smiled, I had completely zoned out staring at my sleepy and confused girlfriend. "I told you I'd protect you, Pookie Bear." I whisper tracing her small frame. "I'm so glad you did, I would've died in there we both know that." She whispers, shaking feverishly. "Well you didn't, and that's all that matters." I coo wiping the tears from her brown eyes. "Spencer?" She hesitantly grabs my attention. "Yes?" I ask, quite concerned. "T-Thank you." She nodded, looking into my eyes. "Don't mention it, but I think I know what I want my repayment to be." I giggle grabbing her hand. "Mm, maybe in a week!" She giggles. "Why?" I pout, "I think you know why." She smirks. "No I reall-oh, damnit." I sarcastically frown. "But I'm gonna really need you for cuddling and sad movies okay?" She pumps her lip out and touches my nose softly. "Sounds like a deal." I laugh hastily. "H-Hey Sparia?" Alison asked turning around in the front seat. "Sparia?" I ask grinning. "It's code for Aria and you." She grins, revealing those pearly white teeth. "Well, go on." I giggle. "Can I sleep in yo-your room I'm kind of afraid to sleep on my o-own." She frowns quite embarrassed. "Hey, you can sleep with us." Hanna offered, as Emily shook her head in agreement. "Tha-Thank you." She whispered before turning back around. Alison had to be a tough woman to go through 6 years in that hellhole, I have so much respect for her, but I'm so upset she has no one to come back too..except for us which was still better than nothing. "I'm going to give you girls sometime but you are going to have to tell me what happened eventually." Melissa frowned as we got out of the car. "I promise, I love you Mel." I whisper through the window. "I love you Spencer." She whispered. "Please, be careful." She reminded me. I quietly grabbed Aria up as we got into the apartment. "Oh my goodness it feels so great to be back home." I whisper teary eyed. I noticed Aria soft asleep in my arms. "I'll be right back let me set her on the couch." I giggle walking to the couch. "I'll see you soon princess." I coo pecking her on the forehead. I quietly made my way back to the kitchen with a few of the rotting Chinese boxes left from Aria and I's first date. "Gross.." Hanna murmurs eating some cereal. "Are we going to talk about this?" Emily blurted out. Alison shifted uncomfortably, I sat down next to her and sat my hand on her leg. "It's alright you can trust them, Ali." I whisper she eventually loosens up and sighed. "I-uh, well.." She murmured as tears welled her eyes. "My life has been a living hell these past few years, and every time he or it..would r-rape me..or beat me, I'd just imagine all the times I said things to you and I realized I deserved that." She cried quietly. "Ali I understand all the stuff that happened to you is hard, but you cannot blame yourself, no matter what you did to us you did not deserve this." Emily replies standing her ground. "I-I just feel like it wouldn't have happened if I was a nicer person when I was younger.." She frowned softly. "I'm awfully tired, may we go to bed now?" She asks trying to change the subject. "Of course, yeah.." Hanna nodded helping her up to their room. "Better go get your Pookie Bear." Emily smirked walking out of the room. I quickly cleaned up the place and locked all the doors and windows in sight. "Comeon, Pookie Bear time to really sleep in your bed." I whisper grabbing her. I quickly got into our bedroom and laid Aria into the bed. "Goodnight, love." I whisper grabbing her closer. "I-I love you.." She stammers out still half-sleep. "I love you too, Pookie Bear." I whisper. I knew she was half asleep and she probably wasn't ready to say those words but I decided to repay the favor. I couldn't sleep at all I had to protect my pack and of course my lioness Aria. I quietly rubbed her hair through the night, giving her soft forehead kisses when she'd whimper in her sleep, it felt so..so right. Eventually the sun came blaring through the beautiful window revealing the city around us. Aria quickly rustled out of bed and I pretended to be asleep, "Goodnight, bear keeper." She whispered pecking me on the lips before leaving the bed. Did she really know I was awake all night? I couldn't let her stay awake alone. I quickly shot up and looked at her, "how'd you know I was awake?" I ask getting out of bed. "No, no. You stay in our bed." She demanded straddling me back down. "But why?" I pout holding onto her by her rear. "Because you were awake all night protecting me and you need your rest, beautiful." She whispered looking into my eyes. "So like I said goodnight, my bear keeper." She whispered pecking me on the lips softly. She tried to pull away but I quickly pulled her back down by her waist. "Spence..." She grunts, "I'm not ready to go to sleep without a little sugar to get me to bed." I murmur leaning down to her neck, she quickly leaned her neck to the side, whimpering slightly. After nibbling and giving her a soft love mark I quickly peck her on the lips one last time. "Goodnight, Pookie Bear." I whisper yawning. "Goodnight, Bear Keeper." She smiles tucking me into bed, she quickly kissed me on the lips one more time before leaving the room. "I love you.." I groan. "What's that?" She asked walking back into the room. "I-I uh nothing.." I stammer. She quickly leaned down next to the bed grabbing her bra off of the floor. "Goodnight, I love you too." She smirks pecking my lips once more. "How many times are we gonna say this?" I laugh awkwardly. "As many as you want, but you're going to sleep." She demands grabbing her clothes. "I love you." She whispered before walking out the door. "I love you, too." I giggle, before slowly drifting off.
