Alison's POV
I'm not sure what exactly was said while Hanna and I were downstairs, but I can feel the energy is off. They all look guilty, or like they're hiding something..
I'm gonna find out exactly what it is, and I know just how to weasel out the answers from my weakest link. Emily fields.

Spencer - You didn't miss much at all!
We were just discussing quantum physics, the branch of physics concerned with quantum theory.
Dd-id you know quantum physics allows for particles to be in two states at the same time?
And--

Alison - Stop. Are you gonna recite the entire dictionary? You should know by now that I don't speak geek.

Spencer - Yeah you know what, I totally for forgot. anyways I'm beat, Night guys!

Spencer basically zips herself completely into her sleeping bag like a human burrito to avoid further conversation with Alison.

Aria - *Yawns* Yeah! Me too. I just can't stay up late like I used to..

Alison - Stay up? You guys are grandmas. It's only 2:4---

Aria - Goodnight!

That was weird.. Spencer's checked out early and she always stays up the latest, I know she usually goes on a tangent like that when she's avoiding something... and I'm not really sure what Arias deal is.. her & Spencer are like thing one and thing two. And Emily hasn't said a word.. but she's not on her phone either which is good, so I guess Pigskin got the message.

Hanna - Wait what time is it?

Alison - it's 2:45 now.

Hanna - Ugh, Half past I'm hungry.

Emily - I thought you guys went down stairs to get a snack? What were you both doing down there so long?

Alison - Ah, she speaks. A better question would be, what were you 3 doing up here so long? You all were awfully quiet.

Hanna - We actually didn't get snacks we just, talked.. so I'm gonna go actually get food now. Brb!

We have access to all snacks and drinks because Jason and my parents are out of town. Hanna rushes back downstairs in a hurry leaving Emily and I alone with the two sleeping beauties on the floor.
I can hear Aria begin to snore, but I know Spencer is probably fake sleeping trying to hear something juicy from Emily and I's conversation... if Spencer wants a show, then I'll give her one. Doesn't come cheap though, so it'll only be a teaser.

Hanna POV
Okay I have noooo idea how I'm gonna keep a scecret as huge as the one Alison told me. I have to tell Emily.... but if I tell her she'll start acting different and Alison will know that I squealed. I should text Emily, I can only imagine how hard Ali is grilling her about Paige, she's probably dying for an escape plan.

*Texts*
To Emily: Come downstairs and get a snack with me! Pleaseeee?
Sent

Crap.. what if her phone is off, or worse what if Ali sees I texted Emily, she may think I want to spill the tea to Em. Goshhhh I don't think sometimes. I'm just gonna stay down here & binge on some ice cream until Emily replies.

Alison's POV

I still can't figure out what exactly Emily is hiding, she has that confused eyebrow dimple thing going on that she does when she's trying not to look at me. But I have no problem staring into her deep brown orbs to make her feel a little uncomfortable. I actually live for it sometimes. But if I want to find out anything, I'll have to dial it back a little with the intensity and sarcasm.
I slowly sashay, over to Emily and sway my hips and stand beside her as she's sitting criss cross on my bed,
And slightly hovering over her, I say in an angelic voice...
