Emma's POV

"Why are we stopping in Orlando?" Gigi asks as we taxi to the fuel area in Orlando.

"We need to refuel and we are picking up Ali." I say.

Gigi, Ali, and I are heading to the World Cup Finals in France where the US Women's National team is playing France.

As we are refueling Ali comes on the plane.

"Hey girls." Ali says then hugs Gigi and I.

We greet her back then talk for a while.

"Oh..." Gigi says.

"What?" I say.

"We apparently took off."

"Oh"

We talk for a little longer then head to the back of the plane and try to get some sleep on the bed in the plane. I'm in the middle with Ali and Gigi on either side of me.

Hours later I was rudely woken up

"IM UP." I yell.

"Emma it's just us landing." Gigi says while laughing with Ali.

"Oh did we all sleep that long?"

"Me and Ali have been up for an hour."

Our plane pulls up to a hanger where a car is waiting for us. The three of us gather our things then head to the car. Once in the car we head to the hotel and after we arrive we head up to our room and sleep.

When we wake up the next day we have lunch and hang around the hotel room for the then we put on our clothes for the game then head head to the stadium. Ali and I have on Ash's National team jersey, while Gigi has on red white and blue since she can't wear any nike clothes due to her deal with reebok.

The game flies by and 90 minutes later Ashy and the US beat France to win the World Cup. Once the whistle blows Ash looks around and tries to find us.

"ASHY." I yell and she looks our way and sprints over to the three of us.

When Ash gets to us she hugs Gigi and me first and while she is hugging me I slip something into her hand. Ash then moves to Ali and hugs her and then she whispers in her ear.

I only catch the end of what she is saying

"Alexandra Blaire Krieger will you marry me?" Ash says and shows her the ring.

Ali nods her head and Ash puts the ring on her finger then kisses her.

After Ash and Ali have their little moment I hug both of them.

"Hey future sister-in-law." I say and Ali, Ash, and I all smile.

Gigi and I have gotten really close this past month and I'd be lying if I said feelings hadn't developed. On the plane from LA to Orlando I asked her out on a date and luckily for me she said yes and while in France we went on 3 dates. One planned by me, one planned by Gigi, and one planned by Ali.

Right now Gigi and I are heading back from France after spending a week there. Ali and Ash are staying in France longer to celebrate their engagement.

"Gigi...Gigi are you asleep?" I ask and poke her shoulder, but get no reaction.

"I wish I had the courage to ask you to be my girlfriend...well I mean I could, but I don't think I can give you the life you deserve. I'm not good enough for you...you deserve to be treated like a queen and not have to put up with someone who's broken, a burden, and worthless" I say then look out the window.

"For you it'd be worth it." I hear Gigi say me to look at her.

"Y-you heard that?"

"I did."

"Shit." I mumble then look out the window again.

"You know I don't care about those things."

"I know, but I don't want to hold you back and ruin your image."

"Emma I don't care about that. As long as I'm happy nothing else matters."

"Even if the girl you're dating is broken?"

"Ask me and we can find out." Gigi says.

"Gigi will you be my girlfriend?"

- - - - -

"Hey Gigi?" I ask.

"Yes?"

"Can we talk?"

"Sure." Gigi says and we walk to my bedroom where Hailey is waiting for us.

"Um do you want Hailey in here?" Gigi asks.

"Yes." I say.

I then lead Gigi over to the bed then the three of us sit on the bed.

"So what's up?" Gigi says. 

"So as you know Emma and I have a very touchy relationship." Hailey says.

"Right?" Gigi says a bit confused

"Well first off the reason for that is because of what I went through when I was younger with the torture and stuff...What we didn't tell you girls is that Hailey was the one to find me in Greece."

"W-w-what?" Gigi says a little dumbfounded.

"I was on vacation with my family and I was waking back to our house when I saw Emma running naked and something told me to stop her so I did." Hailey says.

"Hailey took me back to her house to get clean clothes then she took me to the police station. I told the police what happened and weirdly they knew who did it because it had happened before."

"So what does this have to do with me?" Gigi asks.

"Gigi since you are now my girlfriend you need to know that even though we are together I will still be touchy with Hailey and if you want to be with me then I want you to be able to accept that. She knows the signs of when I'm going to have a panic attack, she knows how to calm me down, and she can tell when I am getting triggered." I say and Gigi is silent.

"Do you have anything you want to ask or say?" Hailey says.

"Will I ever be able to know how to recognize all the things like Hailey does?" Gigi asks.

"Yes. We can help you with that." I say.

"We?"

"I don't know all the signs, but Hailey does."

"Did Kendall ever know about this?"

"No because none of you knew about Greece except Hailey, Ash, Christen, and Alex."

"Is there or has there ever been romantic or sexual feelings between the two of you?" Gigi asks.

"No." Hailey says.

"No. We are only touchy because of what I've been thorough." I say.

"Okay. I can live with that." Gigi says.
