Thread: An Ironic Bond (Pretty Little Liars AU plot) - Redria x White

Emily wasnt expecting to go out for a few weeks now, at least not with her high school friends. Last time the four were together, Hanna and Spencer had said there were expecting a busy few weeks and getting together as much would be impossible. Of course, she did go out with her colleagues from work but it wasnt the same as going out with her girls. The fantastic four whos been through the good and the bad together and have been a great support to each other. So, when Aria called she was pretty much looking forward to it even though it was going to be only two of them. Emily had always been protective of Aria and seeing her not so long ago, it still felt as if its been a while. Thats why, she couldnt help but pull her friend into her for a tight hug. Emily turned on her heels and started marching towards the bars entrance. Emily always felt the attention of boys shed receive and that was something shes learned to ignore. Rest of her friends, always talked about some cute guy or one happened to walk past them and Emily would simply keep mum. Occasionally, shed add her input and at times, shed try and point her friends in the direction of a guy only she happened to have seen. A small group of four girls, what else can you expect? Once inside the bar, they made their way to the table that was semi-private and in the corner. Usually, there would be someone sitting on every side of the table but not tonight. Thats why, Emily actually sat closer, on Arias right side so they could talk to each other without having to get so loud. Emily failed to notice how Aria was being a little different, a little uneasy and uncertain about something. It was least expected of her. Its been Emilys show the whole time, since the moment she arrived and parked the car to the point when their drinks had arrived. Emily liked how Aria paid attention to her while she spoke, fooling her to believe that she was actually looking at her when her gaze were simply fixated on her pretty face. Not all the time Emily looked at her friend sitting on her left side but she did find her looking at her every time she turned her head towards her. Time passed by quickly and Emily noticed how Aria wasnt speaking much. Though, Emily had a lot to talk about, being a talking person with people she knew and shy with people she didnt know, Emily could be two different person in given circumstances. She continued to quench her thirst with her second drink, feeling her throat become dry from all the talking, she finally downed the rest of her drink and then taking out her lip gloss to apply it to her lips. At first, she drove the topic of their conversation but she was running out of topics. And that wasnt even a problem usually because someone from the group always had something to say, add and to talk about. Aria wasnt talking much and seemed a little out there and thats why, Emily finally nudged her friend and asked, Aria... Aria! Is something wrong? The dark haired girl tilted her head in question just when her friend denied and then was about to say something before she decided against sharing it. It was certain, she really had something on her mind and that made Emily even more curious if not nosy. For a second, she was almost fooled when Aria excused herself from the table to get another round of drinks for them two. Whilst she was sitting alone, she recalled how her friend had been out of it today. Perhaps, she was tired or problem at work or even some guy problem. Wasnt that the usual case with everyone? She didnt think too hard on it as she figured that theyd talk it out once she returns with their drinks. No need to work her thoughts into it without knowing what the problem was. She grabbed her phone to see a few things on it and check her emails. Nothing too big. Emily smiled watching the shorter girl make her way back to the table and then place her drink in front of her. Thats when she gasped, Aria... you've gotten all three of my drinks so far... nodding no before adding more, you should have just opened a tab. You know, if it was anyone but you, Id think the girl is trying to get me drunk so she can take advantage of me. Emily laughed it off as she meant it as a joke and tipped the glass to her lips, taking a sip before placing it down. Oh? Emily curiously repeated what Aria managed to slip out before she pushed her chair out and turned towards her friend. At the same time, she grabbed the legs of Arias chair and yanked it towards her a little. Luckily, she was lightweight and Emily managed to succeed in making the girls chair face her now and even closer to hers, Okaywhats up? Its clearly eating you inside out. Are you going to tell me or keep the suspense going the whole night? She said and ran her hand through her hair, Is it a work problem? Family? Some guy? Emily asked her very curiously and leaned forward but not crossing over into her space. Bring my Aria back. I dont like it when youre all quiet! Emily pouted her lips and sighed, leaning back in her chair as she was growing impatient.
