Talking about the furture

Aria "So, What do you want to be when you grow up?"

Spencer "Aria, I'm 17 years old, not 5."

Aria "Okay...what's your dream job?"

Spencer "Well...my parents always pressure me to be a lawyer like them. But...I think I want to be a doctor. Maybe an OBGYN...I like babies."

     Aria chuckled and smiled at her friend. She could imagine Spencer being a doctor and playing with babies all day. She hoped that one day someone would love Spencer for who she is and want to have a family with her.

Aria "I want to be a photographer, definitely. There's this photograph course at Hollis...I think I'm gonna take it."

Spencer "You should. Maybe you could photograph the babies I deliver."

Aria "We could work together!"

Spencer "A doctor and a photographer...an unlikely combination. But we could make it work."

     The two laughed to together, imagining their lives after high school. They both secretly feared about their love lives. Both were now single and were afraid they wouldn't meet anyone. Aria thought Ezra was the one, and now she felt like she wouldn't find anyone like him. Spencer felt that no one would love her. The only guy who really accepted her was Toby, and she really wanted to be him, but she knew she couldn't give his the kids they dreamed about when they were eight.

Aria "Can I stay over tonight? I don't feel like being sad by myself."

Spencer "Of course...I'll find you some pajamas. I might have some that got too small on me."

     Aria chuckled and waited until Spencer came back with a shirt and pajama bottoms. They both changed into their pajamas and laid down in Spencer's bed. Spencer looked at Aria awkwardly, having never had a friend sleep in her bed.

Aria "Do you want me to sleep downstairs or on the floor? You just seem really...weird, about me sleeping with you."

Spencer "No! No, i-it's not a problem."

     Aria smiled and climbed into Spencer's bed. She snuggled closer to her friend and fell asleep on her chest. Spencer found herself awake the whole night, looking down at the girl laying in her and smiling. Aria was special, and Spencer wanted her.
