Hey guys! What's up? So everything's already cleared up with the second story and now I am free to update this one! Enjoy!
We Know We Got Our Guy
~Emily's Hospital Room~
"If it makes you feel any better we're just as confused as you are." Spencer said.
"I wish it did, God, not even the strongest pain medication can take away this p-"
"Guys!" Aria barges in. "I think I know who Cece's 'boyfriend' is!" Aria says in air quotes.
"Huh!?" Spencer, Hanna, and Emily said at the same time.
"Aria, what are you talking about?" Emily asked, propping herself up on one elbow.
"Remember how Cece said she had a boyfriend by the name of Jessie?" Aria asked.
"Yeah." Emily said.
"I found him!"
"Aria…" Spencer spoke, "Jessie is a very common name, you could've gotten-"
"Spencer! He went to U-Penn and is definitely not a day over than twenty five years old! There's no way that's a coincidence. Em? What do you have to say?" Aria asked, getting irritated because none of her friends, especially Spencer and Emily, weren't putting the pieces together.
"Honestly Aria, after experiencing the sudden turn of events these past few days I don't know what to think." Emily said as she rubbed her forehead in confusion and frustration. She wasn't sure what to think. She had been hurt so many times, more than she could even count actually. So she really wasn't in a big rush to figure out everything else. In fact, if Emily had her way Aria, Spencer, and Hanna would already be at school and she would be asleep, in her own little world where everything made sense for once.
"I can't believe this! We finally got a hit on Cece's mystery guy and now you guys are totally blowing it off?" Aria exclaimed. The three girls were quiet. "Okay fine, looks like I'll just delete the picture of-"
"Wait! You got a picture?" Hanna asked in with wide eyes. Finally, to Aria's liking, she had everyone's attention.
"Well yeah, but since you guys aren't interested-"
"Aria, show us the picture." Emily said, cutting to the chase.
"Okay." Aria said as she pulled out her phone from her purse, looked through her photo library, and clicked on the recent picture she had taken. "Here." Aria replied as she handed the phone over to Emily. Emily looked at it for a second, and quickly remembered the guy by his eyes.
"Oh my God…" Emily uttered.
"What?" Hanna asked.
"Emily, what is it?" Spencer asked. Aria and Hanna leaned in. They really wanted to know what had Emily nearly shaking in anger.
"That's the guy I saw at the convenient store!" Emily nearly shrieked. "That's it!"
"Emily, what are you doing?" Spencer asked as she saw Emily getting up from her hospital bed.
"I don't know! It's a tie between going into Cece's room to tell her the truth and paying our little 'friend' Jessie a visit at his workplace. Do you guys want to help me decide?" Emily asked angrily as she was about to get up, that is, before she felt a sharp pain coming from her sides. "OW! What in the-"
"Your ribs are bruised Em. Remember?" Hanna asked, worried for her best friend.
"I don't care!" Emily growled as she tried to get up again. "OW! Why was it easier to get up last time?"
"You were on your hospital meds Em, you haven't token them in a while, and they're wearing off." Spencer explained.
"It was your hospital meds mixed with your adrenaline Em, and now, only your adrenaline is not gonna cut it." Aria explained as well. Emily was very angry at this.
"I haven't even graduated High School yet and my body is already giving out on me!" Emily yelled as she tried to make another attempt to get up. "OWWWW!"
"Em, you were run over by a car. If it were anybody else, I'm pretty sure they'd be in worse condition. Look, at least you're not dead."
"Gee thanks Han. Are you trying to make the girl feel better or feel worse?" Spencer asked Hanna. Hanna was about to make a comment until Aria interrupted.
"Look guys, I think it would be best if we just made double sure and confirmed with Cece that-" Aria was about to continue before she got interrupted by Hanna.
"What?! NO! Aria, I'm tired of us always playing nice girls and going around a campfire singing Kum-bi-a! We need to get out there and-"
"If you were to let me finish Han." Aria interrupted Hanna in return.
"For once, I agree with Hanna on this one. We need to get out there and do something!" Emily declared, still angered.
"Now with those bruised ribs Em." Spencer said, hoping to calm Emily down. "Look, we'll go down to Cece's room and ask her if this is the guy she claims to be her boyfriend. We're going to get answers, I promise, you just need to be patient." With Spencer's kind words, Emily felt her anger slowly slipping away and she sighed.
"Fine." Emily said.
"Okay, let's go." Hanna said as she was going to be the first one out the door before Spencer grabbed her arm and stopped her.
"Oh no! Not again. This time, I'm asking her the questions!" Spencer stated.
"Fine." Hanna mumbled.
"We'll be right back as soon as we finish, okay Em." Aria reassured.
"Yeah okay guys. Thanks." Emily said as she laid down on her hospital bed and put the covers over her head, trying to shut herself out of the world. My body doesn't work! I've been hurt so many times! Cece doesn't remember a thing about me…a thing about us, and now…now what? Spencer, Hanna, and Aria just looked down at her sadly. They knew their best friend was really hurting, and they were really hoping that they could get some answers for her. That's the least we could do. All three girls thought.
~Cece's Hospital Room~
Cece was in her hospital room reading a People magazine when she heard a knock on her door.
"Come in." She said. The first face she saw was Spencer's, then Aria's, then Hanna's. Cece quickly panicked when she saw Hanna.
"I swear, I'm not working for anybody and if you even DARE put that light in my face you will not see the end of-"
"I'm not here to pound you with questions." Hanna said as nicely as she could. Cece's jaw nearly hit the floor at Hanna's 'stunning' revelation.
"You're not?" Cece asked in disbelief.
"Well, I'm not, but they are." Hanna bobbed her head towards Aria and Spencer's direction. She then lost all concentration when she saw Channing Tatum on one of the magazine on the table. "I…need to read this." Hanna said. Spencer and Aria's mouth went agape at how easily Hanna got distracted.
"HANNA!" Spencer exclaimed.
"Oh please so what? Yeah I'm with Caleb but I know my rights and-"
"No, NOT THAT! Hello, we're here to ask a couple of questions, remember? Aria asked.
"Oh yeah." Hanna said. She put the magazine back down on the table but immediately shoved it in her purse while nobody was looking.
"So, Cece…you got a boyfriend, right?" Spencer asked kindly, unlike Hanna did the last time.
"Yeah. His name's Jessie. Why do you ask?" Cece smiled as she pushed her magazine aside so she could give Spencer, Aria, and Hanna her full attention.
"Is this him?" Aria asked as she pulled out her phone and showed Cece the picture.
"Oh yeah, that's him!" Cece smiled and the girls weren't shocked, but then again, very astonished. Does that make sense?
"Well, that's all we needed to know, thanks Cece." Hanna said as she grabbed both Spencer and Aria's arms and yanked them out of the room.
"Hanna!" Spencer and Aria whined.
"Well! What do we do now?" Hanna asked.
"I don't know Han, I don't know." Aria said as she sighed. Emily is going to be so crushed, or angered, or both. Aria thought.
"Well, whatever happens now," Spencer hesitated, "We know we got our guy".
