I was finally falling asleep when Emily laughed loud startling me.

"What happened?" I asked as I looked at the TV

"Just the way he slapped him. You were falling asleep?" She asked as she rubbed my back.

"Yeah. Sorry I know that you wanted to watch this together but I'm just tired and..." She cut me off by kissing me.

"It's okay baby. Go to sleep. When the movie is over I'll carry you to bed, okay?" I smiled and kissed her.

"Okay." I put my hand under her shirt and rubbed up and down her stomach. I felt her sigh.

"Ali, you're trying to sleep or you trying to do something else?" I rolled my eyes at her and kissed her neck before I answered.

"I'm just trying to get comfortable."She wrapped her arms around me tighter.

"Yeah you're trying to get comfortable alright." I thumped her lips and when she stuck her tongue out I stuck mine out and licked hers. Her eyes widened and I couldn't help laughing.

"Ugh stop trying to start something you're not planning to finish." She said as she turned her head back to the TV. I put my face in the crook of her neck and closed my eyes.

My ringing phone woke me up from a deep sleep. I rolled over from Emily and grabbed it off the nightstand and answered it.

"Hello." I yawned into the phone. I heard her sniffling.

"Ali..." She said in a low voice. I scrunch my face up trying to figure out whose voice I was hearing.

"Aria?" Why was she crying?

She sniffed again before answering. "Can I come over please?" I looked over at the clock and my eyes widened. I didn't try to sleep that long.

"Yeah come on. Let yourself in." Yeah they all have keys to our house.

"Thank you." She hung up. I rubbed my face and looked over at Emily. She was passed out, lightly snoring and hair everywhere. I smiled and moved some of her hair out of the way and kissed her cheek before getting out of bed. I walked into the kitchen and poured me a glass of juice and poured some pretzels in a bowl. I sat on the couch and opened my laptop and ordered a pizza. I heard knocking on the door and got up from the couch and opened the door. There stood Aria with sad eyes and unshed tears.

"Why you didn't use your key?" I asked as I gently pulled her into the house.

"I didn't want to just barge in, you know, in case you and Emily were doing something." She said causing me to laugh a little. Spencer must've have mentioned that.

"Emily's asleep and you know how deep she sleeps." Aria smiled a small smile

"Yeah. She's dead to the world." She said as she sat on the couch.

Once I sat down I decided to get straight to the point. "Aria, why were you crying?" As soon as I asked that tears spilled from her eyes. I immediately hugged her. Eventually she cried herself to sleep. I was in the kitchen eating when Emily came downstairs and into the kitchen. "Hey sleepy head." I smiled at her and took a bite out of my pizza. She mumbled a hey and grabbed a plate. She's cranky when she first wake up. She put a couple slices on her plate and walked into the living room. 3....2....1 She walked back into the kitchen with a confused look on her face.

"When did Aria get here?"

"She called earlier asking if she could come over, I said yeah. She was crying. When she got here I tried to ask what was wrong but she just started crying all over again and eventually cried herself to sleep."

"Wow...I hope that she's okay. We'll find out when she wakes up." she said as she sat next to me.

"Are you in a better mood than you were a few minutes ago?" I asked while smirking at her.

"I'm sorry babe." I leaned over and kissed her cheek. "It's okay i know that you're cranky when you wake up."

"I wouldn't have been cranky if you weren't teasing earlier." I laughed hard. She got up and put her plate in the sink before walking over to me with a grin on her face.

"What are you doing?" I asked as she got closer.

I saw the look in her eyes and knew what she was about to do. "Em don--" She started tickling me. I started laughing uncontrollably until I could barely breathe.

"Em...ppplease ssstop." I stuttered. When she finally stopped I glared at her and walked away from her.

"Ali come on!" She called out following me. I kept walking until she grabbed my arms. "You have to admit that was funny." She said while smiling. When I didn't smile she stopped smiling. "Ali I didn't hurt you I was just playing." She grabbed my hand. "I'm sorry." She looked really concerned I couldn't help but think as I smiled then laughed and hugged her. She pulled back and looked at me.

"You tricked me! Made me believe you were sad."

"It was easy." When she glared at me i grabbed her cheeks and kissed her all over her face. When I kissed her lips she didn't kiss back. She started to kiss me back on my third attempt. I smiled against her lips as she put her hands on my waist and deepened the kiss

"Let's check on Aria." I said as I broke off the kiss. She nodded her head. When we walked into the living room we saw that Aria woke up and was looking at her phone. I sat on the right side of her and Em sat on the left side. Neither of us said anything for a minute until Em spoke up.

"Ar...what happened?"

It looked like Aria was thinking about what to say then she turned her head toward Emily.

"How could he do this to me Em?"
