Forever & Always

Ravenswood

Emily's POV

"This place is creeping me out." I say as I looked over to Spencer. "Relax, okay. We only need one thing here." Spencer explains.

"Well what exactly is it?" I ask. "...We need Caleb." Aria sneaks in. Hanna jumps on her seat, and yells, "Whaat?!? Spencer you said we're going because A's lair is here, not freakin Caleb."

"I know, I know. But if I told you, you wouldn't agree to come." Spencer shoots back. "She's right.." Aria confesses.

Hanna rolled her eyes and looked away.

Aria and Hanna were sitting across my left, and Spencer and I were sitting together. I asked Spencer, "Why did we need to take the bus?"

"A would know." Spencer says without looking at me. "Well woundnt A know that we're taking the bus too?" I ask urging the answers from her. Spencer was always the mysterious one out of all of us. Even Ali, would agree so.

"Yes, I know Emily. I have my plan. Just go along with it." Spencer shrieks.

"Okay,okay. Would you atleast tell me what the hell we need from Caleb?"

"We need his high-tech computer skills."

"...For?" I kept asking so many questions that I know is annoying the crap out of Spencer, but I'm curious, so she needs to just suck it up.

"So we can trace A." Spencer sounded annoyed, which I'm happy to say I'm proud of(:

"How?" I ask almost smiling. I'm asking questions only to annoy her. It's so funny! hahaha.

Spencer looked over to me and have a big sigh. "Well, Emily I understand you're a swimmer, which means you use your arms not your brains. But this is common sense, really. You trace A on the computer, with a radar."

I gave Spencer a confused looked.

"For further information, the radar will capture any text messages sent to us. And will quickly alert us where the message was sent." Spencer said as she breathed out her last breath.

I nodded. Oh see, now I get it.

"Sooo, you mean to say, we can find out who's behind the hood once and for all?" I ask.

"We'll see." Spencer smirks.

"NEXT STOP, RAVENSWOOD!" The bus driver yells.

Aria and Hanna looks over to Spencer and I.

"Am I the only one who's feeling a little worried? A is always ahead of us." Hanna says.

"Nope, you're not the only one." I reply.

A few minutes later, I get a text.

'Hey, Em. Haven't seen you all day. Missing you</3Wanna come over? We can watch a movie(:'

It was from Alison.

I replied.

'Awwww baby, I would love tooo! But I'm with my mom! We're actually in New York right now, visiting my Grams. Tomorrow?(:'

'Awww. okay, I'll see you tomorrow. I love you! <3'

'I love you too! goodnight Cutie cakes.'

--------------------------------

We got to Caleb's apartment, and he told us how the computer thingy majigy works. We all had a confused look on our face except for Spencer. She was the only one who understood Alien language.

"Well okay, maybe Aria, Em, and I will just take the bus right now, and Spencer can stay here and work with Caleb, whatever they're doing. Because I'm really tired." Hanna speaks, as she stands up and stretches her legs.

"Hanna, just because you and Caleb have this weird relationship doesn't mean you can bail on us just like that." Spencer shoots.

Hanna looked at her, pissed. "Okay,okay. Spence, chill. Hanna, fine, you can come with me. I'll take you home. Emily will stay here with Spencer."

I didn't really wanna stay since I'm not a book smart nor am i computer smart. But oh well.

--------------------------

After a loooooong night of figuring out Radar codes on the computer with Caleb and Spencer, I was tired, and I decided I was gonna text Ali first before I sleep. When I looked at my phone, I saw 2 missed calls from Ali. Is seething wrong?

I didn't have the power to talk so I just texted her.

'Hey what's up? You okay baby?'

After a few minutes she replied.

'I came by tonight.'

Did she mean, come by my house?

'To my house?' I was already feeling guilt and it had a worried look on my face.

'Yup. I came by to drop off something, I thought no one was home, since you guys were in NY. But sheesh, your mom opened the door..' Ali texts.

'She did..? Ali, I'm sorry.'

'Sorry for what? Idk anymore Em. If we're just gonna lie to each other, then I don't think this is working for us. I started getting suspicious every since last week, 2 times, someone called you. And you said they were Hanna. Oh yeah, I called Hanna, too if you didn't know. She said you were with Spencer, but she didn't tell me why. Tell me Emily, what's going on?'

'Ali. I can't.' Was all I said.

'Why not? Emily, are you cheating on me?'

'No! Alison! I would never cheat on you!! I love you and you know that!'

'Well then what is it?!?'

'I can't tell you! but will you just trust me on this?' I text back.

It took a while for Alison to reply back, I was thinking she'd write a whole paragraph again, but this time she made it quick and short...

It said ..

'You either tell me, or we're done.'
