Dangerous Love Part 1

A/N: This is the main story I’m currently working on. It’s also posted on fanfiction.net. Feel free to let me know what you think, and I hope you enjoy!

Rated M for mature content. AU where Paige and Emily meet in college and are immediately attracted to each other. But their developing relationship will be faced with the test of dealing with an unknown stalker who has their eye on Emily.

Eighteen-year-old Emily Fields was excited and terrified at the same time to meet her college roommate as she followed her father up the stairs to her new dorm room. She lived on the fourth floor of Rutherford Hall, and her assigned roommate was a Paige McCullers, who as it turned out only lived about an hour from her. They had texted and called over the summer, but they hadn’t actually met. She was nervous to see what Paige was really liked, and she hoped they would be best friends like those cliché movies about teens going away to college.

She and her best friend from back home, Maya, had stalked Paige’s Facebook thoroughly to see what she was like. She was a popular swimmer, with some of the best records in Pennsylvania, and she seemed very intelligent. She had a boyfriend named Caleb, who was all over her Paige, but she hadn’t found much about actual friends. She seemed nice enough when they talked on the phone, but she hadn’t mentioned the part about herself that could potentially cause trouble. She was a lesbian, and although she and her ex-girlfriend, Alison, had broken up months ago, she didn’t know much about her roommate or if she would be comfortable sharing a room with her. She certainly hoped it wouldn’t be an issue, but she knew she would feel better once she got that off her chest. Mostly she was excited for this new experience, where she could be independent, but it would also be a big change.

When she got inside her room, her roommate was already there, unpacking. She had long, brown hair and a slim but fit body. Her tight tank top showed off her impressive stomach, and Emily gulped. When the girl turned around, her heart almost stopped. She was absolutely beautiful.

“Hi,” she greeted her brightly, walking over to her. “You must be Emily. I’m Paige.”

“Hi, Paige,” she replied shakily, reaching out to shake her hand. Paige went in for a hug instead, and all Emily could think about was how good her hair smelled. Like peaches.

“It’s so nice to meet you,” Paige continued. “I saved you the bed by the window, just like you asked.”

“Thank you,” she replied. She seemed nice enough. “Paige, this is my Dad.”

“Hi, sir,” she greeted him, reaching out her hand. Wayne Fields smiled approvingly at Paige’s manners.

“Hello, Paige.”

“My parents already left,” Paige told them. “I’m almost done unpacking, if you want help.”

“Sure,” Emily replied, forcing herself to look away from Paige’s enormous brown eyes. “I would love that.”

They spent the afternoon unpacking. Wayne and Emily said their good byes, which were harder than she anticipated, and she watched as he walked down the hall. She took a deep breath and closed the door, looking around at her new home for the next year. Paige smiled warmly at her.

“Nervous?” she asked.

“A little,” Emily admitted, sitting down on her bed. The fact that her new roommate was so incredibly attractive didn’t help. “Are you?”

“Of course. Especially for classes. I don’t like starting something new; I like to have things already in order,” Paige replied. She blushed. “I guess I can be a little uptight sometimes.”

“It’s cool,” Emily assured her. “I’m terrified for classes. And I don’t even know why.”

“It’s normal,” Paige replied with a shrug. “What’s your major?”

“English and writing. You?”

“Biology. I’m pre-med.”

“Wow. You must be really smart.”

“Sort of,” Paige laughed. “I’ve wanted to go to med school since I was little. You want to be a writer?”

“Yeah,” Emily replied eagerly. “A journalist. I love writing.”

“That’s awesome,” Paige told her. “So……. you’re from Pennsylvania?”

“Yeah. Rosewood.”

“I’m like, an hour from there. Pittsburgh.”

“Your swimming record looks very impressive.”

“Oh. Thanks,” Paige replied, blushing again. “You used to swim, too?”

“Yeah. But I tore my rotator’s cuff last year.”

“Oh, wow. That sucks.”

“Yeah. But I was kind of tired of swimming, to be honest. It was just as well.”

“I hate swimming now,” Paige agreed. “I’ve been doing it for as long as I remember. My boyfriend, Caleb, keeps trying to get me to quit, but…… my parents would be really disappointed.”

“I get the whole disappointing the parents thing,” Emily replied. Paige looked at her questioningly, and she took a deep breath. May as well get it out of the way. “I’m a lesbian. My mom hates it.”

“Oh,” Paige replied, but she didn’t seem upset. “I’m sorry, Emily. That must be really hard for you, having your mom feel that way.”

Emily let out a sigh of relief. Paige was okay with her sexuality.

“It is,” she agreed. “We don’t talk much, and my dad’s in the army. So when he’s not home, I can’t bear to be.”

“Wow. Emily, I’m really sorry,” she told her, and Emily could tell her new roommate was genuinely upset to hear that. “Well, it doesn’t matter to me who you love. You can be who you are here and you don’t have to apologize for it.”

Emily smiled, her eyes filling with tears. Paige really was sweet, and she was so glad she hadn’t been assigned to someone like her mother.

“Thank you. That means so much.”

“Do you have a girlfriend?” Paige asked eagerly, grinning. Emily sighed.

“I did. In high school.”

“Oh. I’m sorry.”

“It’s cool. Alison was her name. She…….. well, she totally used me. I don’t know if she even really liked me. But she knew how I felt about her and used my feelings to get what she wanted. But enough about my sob story. Tell me more about you.”

They talked all afternoon, and then went to the dining hall for dinner and talked some more. Emily told her about her school and her best friend, Maya. Paige told her about swimming, Caleb, and her best friend from home, Spencer. They met some of the other girls on their floor and were told about a party at a frat house nearby. They agreed to go, since parties were a freshman’s rite of passage, but vowed not to drink so they were ready for classes the next morning. They hurried back to their room to change and make themselves presentable before heading out to the party with two of their neighbors, shy and quiet Aria Montgomery and very loud Hanna Marin. Emily really liked her already; she was boisterous and extremely rude, but so funny Emily was afraid she was going to cry her mascara off from laughing so hard. Paige seemed amused by her too, and Emily’s fear from earlier that day was already gone. Sure, she was still anxious about finding her way to her classes, but she had already met some great people and her roommate was even better than she had hoped. So far, there was absolutely nothing to complain about.

“So I was like, keep it in your pants,” Hanna was saying, swirling the contents of her plastic red cup. “Like, for crying out loud! Is that all I’m good for?”

“So, your boyfriend was a virginity pledge and now he’s a nymphomaniac?” Paige asked. Hanna laughed.

“Pretty much! Tell me more about your boyfriend.”

“He’s smart,” Paige replied, and Emily didn’t know if it was just wishful thinking or if Paige suddenly sounded bored. “He’s good with technology and stuff.”

“Ooh, a geek,” Hanna replied. “My kind of guy.”

“You have a boyfriend,” Aria reminded her.

“Oh. Right.”

“Paige!” Spencer exclaimed. “There you are!”

“Spence!” Paige exclaimed, giving her friend a hug. “Guys, this is Spencer. My best friend from high school.”

“You go here, too?” Emily asked.

“Yup. We chose not to room together so we could meet some new people,” she explained. “Is one of you Paige’s roommate?”

“Me,” Emily replied. Spencer smiled.

“Nice to meet you.”

“We have a lot in common,” Paige added, smiling at Emily. “She’s pretty great.”

“I’m glad to hear that,” Spencer replied. “My roommate’s a party girl. Like, a wild party girl.”

“Good thing you live at the library.”

“Fuck Sean,” Hanna exclaimed suddenly. “I’m checking out the hot guys!”

Aria shook her head as Hanna bounded away, provoking laughs from all of them. Paige grinned at Emily.

“She’s a character.”

“I should probably check out the hot guys, too,” Spencer added. “The perks of being single.”

“Do you have a boyfriend, Emily?” Aria asked.

“I’m a lesbian, actually,” Emily replied. Aria looked embarrassed.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t-.”

“It’s fine,” she assured her. “I’m single right now, too.”

“Well, I’m sure there are some hot lesbians here,” Spencer replied. “We just have to find them.”

“Spencer likes to play matchmaker,” Paige explained.

“I wouldn’t necessarily mind that,” Emily replied. She doubted there was another girl here as beautiful and sweet as Paige, but she would have to try to find one.

“I set Paige up with Caleb,” Spencer continued. Paige sighed.

“Can we not talk about Caleb anymore?” she asked. Spencer looked surprised. “Emily, what time did you want to go back?”

“It doesn’t matter,” Emily replied. “I don’t have my first class until noon.”

“Lucky,” Spencer sighed. “I have an eight o’clock every morning.”

“That’s because you’re an over achiever,” Paige replied. Spencer scowled.

“I’m gonna go join Hanna.”

They decided to call it a night a little after twelve. They walked back to their dorm with Aria and a slightly buzzed Hanna, who was gushing about all the ass she was going to be getting. It was amusing to listen to, and Paige and Emily wished Aria luck before heading into their own room.

“I think I want to shower,” Paige announced. “I feel gross after being in that frat house.”

“Same,” Emily agreed. “How many showers are there?”

“I looked when I got here. There’s four on the floor.”

Emily nodded, her heart beating faster at the prospect of showering in the same room as Paige, separated by only a curtain. She quickly scolded herself; it was only the first day and she was already falling hard for a girl she probably couldn’t have. Paige may be okay with her sexuality, but if she found out Emily was crushing on her, that might change. She had to get her feelings under control.

They showered and headed back to their room. Emily was careful not to look at Paige as they changed into their pajamas, not wanting to make her wonder.

“Today was a pretty good first day,” Paige remarked as she climbed into bed. “Now to just get the first week of classes out of the way.”

“Yeah,” Emily agreed, reaching for the light. “I think we’ll be okay.”

“We will. You wanna meet up for dinner tomorrow?”

“Of course.”

“Okay, awesome. Good night, Emily.”

“Good night, Paige.”

The next morning, Emily woke up to a note on the desk next to her bed. Rubbing her eyes, she sat up and stretched, seeing Paige had already left for class. She picked up the note and read it through sleepy eyes, a smile crossing her face.

Emily, I went to grab breakfast with Spencer before class. Good luck today! I can’t wait to hear about your day at dinner later. Xo Paige.

She smiled stupidly, getting out of bed. Sure, it was just a note wishing her luck. Paige had a boyfriend. But it didn’t mean she couldn’t think about her. Paige didn’t need to know. They could be best friends, and she supposed that would be good enough. She determined then and there that she was going to absolutely love it here.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

“Spencer,” Paige sighed as Spencer walked into their Biology 110 classroom. “I am so glad to see you.”

“Never thought I’d hear you say that,” Spencer joked, taking the seat next to her. “I told you it would be good for us to take a lot of the same classes.”

“So, how was your first night?” Paige asked. “Liking it here so far?”

“Not crazy about my roommate,” Spencer admitted. “Bridget is a little too…… wild for me. Your roommate seems cool though, and the other girls I met at the party last night. So I don’t mind not being best friends with Bridget, as long as I have people to hang out with. You like your roommate?”

“She’s awesome,” Paige replied. “She’s very sweet and we have a lot to talk about.”

“I’m glad to hear that.”

“Hey, look,” she cut in, noticing Aria standing in the entrance to the classroom, looking around awkwardly. “Aria! Over here.”

Aria made her way over to them, looking grateful. She took her seat on the other side of Paige.

“Hi, Paige. Spencer. So glad to see people I know.”

“Same here,” Paige replied. “How’s Hanna this morning?”

“She wasn’t awake,” Aria chuckled. “It’s funny. We’re so different, yet we get along really well. I think someone outgoing is just what I need.”

“I love it here so far,” Paige replied. “Like, more than I thought I would.”

“This is supposed to be the time of our lives,” Spencer agreed. “Let’s make it just that.”

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

“Hey,” Emily greeted her roommate eagerly as she walked into their room. She had just finished her second and last class of the day, and she was eager to go to dinner with Paige and talk about it.

“Hi,” Paige replied cheerfully, pulling off her t-shirt as if Emily wasn’t standing right there. “How were your classes?”

“Good,” she replied, looking away. “I met a lot of interesting people.”

“Same here,” she agreed as she pulled on a new shirt. “Sorry. It’s hot out and I want to not be sweaty for dinner.”

“Understandable,” Emily laughed. “How were your classes?”

“Not bad. We can talk about it over dinner.”

“I’d like that.”

“Oh, and Emily?” Paige started they headed for the door.

“Yeah?”

“You don’t need to look away every time I change my shirt.”

“What?” Emily asked, her cheeks turning pink.

“I’m not going to think you’re staring at me just because you’re a lesbian. And even if you were, I’d take that as a compliment.”

“Really?” Emily asked in surprise. She blushed.

“Really,” Paige replied, smiling at her. “Come on, let’s go eat. I’m starving.”

They made their way to the dining hall, where they ate and talked all about their first day of classes. As Emily watched Paige talk, her beautiful brown eyes shining with excitement, she could do nothing but admit to herself that she was falling for her. Hard.
