Emily's Pov

I'm in the courtroom, and some lawyer is questioning my client. I have nothing to worry about I already went over with my client on what to say and what not to say. The man walks up to the stand where my client is sitting.I make sure I have my notepad out so I can note everything he asks. I already will be able to remember the questions he asks alone but just to be safe. Documenting his words won't hurt.

It's the same Defense Attorney that I always see, a man with dirty brown hair with grey patches wearing a navy blue suit with a red tie. He approaches the stand where my client is sitting.

" Ms. DiLaurentis , how long have you had your phone"?

My client looks over at me and the lawyer waves his hand in front of my client's face.

"Excuse me Ms. Dilaurentis I'm over here" my client keeps starring at me.

I try to use my eyes to tell her to look elsewhere. But Allison has her eyes glued to me and to make matters worst she stands up

"Emily, you always been the one to protect me, I don't want to answer that question" the courtroom looks at me confused.

"Your Honor, I object" I state the judge looks at me growing impatient

"Ms. Fields control your client" I nod

"Ms. DiLaurentis , please sit down and answer the question" I say sternly not appreciating her causing a scene and upsetting the judge.

Allison starts breaking down into tears "I'm tired of questions, why wont they believe me,you believe me why wont they"?

The jury gasps and the courtroom starts to erupt with whispers the judge bangs his gavel

" That's enough, your client is in contempt of court, can someone escort her out" I watch in shock as the bailiff gets up and handcuffs Allison and take her off the stands.

"Emily don't let them take me"! Nothing comes out of my mouth. I want something to, but I'm speechless.

Allison looks at me with her pleading eyes "Emily, don't let them take me" I get up from my seat

"SIT DOWN" the judge tells me

"I'm sorry your Honor, but I can't let you take my client, you have no right, she's just little shaken up, you didn't even give her a warning "

If my words let alone didn't make the Judge pissed, I find myself approaching the bailiff

The judge stands up and bangs his gravel face as bright as a tomato

" Fields, you are under arrest for contempt of court !"

"I DON'T CARE" I yell back

"You said what?" the Judge asks with rage

"I said, I don't…. do do do doom do doom doom"

Wait that's not what I said, I hear the sound again do do do doom do. Where is this sound coming from I put my hands to my head and I start to feel dizzy. It's like there is a vibration in my head. I slowly sit down in my chair and open my eyes and nearly fall off the couch. Do do do doom do I look around frantic looking for where the strange sound could be coming from. I see my phone vibrating on the table in-front of me and pick it up

"Hello" I say in my drowsy voice

"I'm on my way Em" I look at the time and it's 7pm

"NO HANNA, I'm sorry but I'm too tired and you know tomorrow is an important day for me"

"I know, so it gives you even more of a reason to relax, and have a night on town"

I pick up the couch pillows off the ground

"We live In New York City, every night is a night on town"

"Em stop being a such a party pooper, this is what the news and everyone is talking about, you're too serious"

"And that's a bad thing, me being serious helps me win cases, and in order for me to be serious, I can't go out tonight"

"Well too late" I hear the doorbell ring

"Are you already here?"

"Yeah open the door"

"No way, go home" I hang up the phone and head to my bedroom and plop down my bed

The doorbell rings a couple of times "EMILY OPEN THE DOOR" I laugh while I put one of my pillows over my ears

"EMILY, I'M NOT KIDDING OPEN UP"

"GO AWAY!" I scream out at the top of my lungs I know I live in an apartment and I know my neighbors won't appreciate the loud noise, but I'm a lawyer so I wish they would try to sue me or call the police. That will be an easy case to beat and win.

After Hanna thousands of attempts to get me to open the door. There is a silence, can this be real? Did she actually admit her defeat and leave?

I'm trying to get back into my slumber when I hear my door open. My eyes shoot open and I get up as quick as I can and grab the baseball bat under my bed.

"Who's here"? I say while jumping out of my bedroom with the bat ready to swing

"A killer" Hanna says while she put her purse on my kitchen counter top

"HOW DID YOU GET IN MY HOUSE?"

Hannah rolls her eyes "I had a key made"

"When?"

"Last month"

"You're telling me you had a key to my house all this time?"

Hanna opens my fridge "Yeah, sometimes I like to chill here when you have business trip, or when Caleb is getting on my nerve, do you have any wine"?

Hanna opens my cabinet and pulls out a bottle which I snatch out her hand

"That's not for you" she sighs

"Suits yourself I will just have a drink at the bar we are going to then"

I put the wine back into the cabinet "No, I'm not going to a bar so you can hook me up with some woman"

"Umm who said we were going to a gay bar, and trust me I given up in the date department when it comes to you"

"Good" she opens my brand new bag of baked lays chips that I was saving for my lunch tomorrow and starts stuffing her face

"I mean, you're so picky, it's like you have a check list that has to be completely checked off before you even talk to a potential candidate"

"I DO NOT" Hanna crosses her arm

"I mean yeah I have things I might have in mind when it comes to dating but I don't have a list"

She gives me that same I don't believe you look

"I mean it's not my fault, they don't meet my standards"

"Emily, you once asked someone how they felt about the movie 12 Angry Men and when they told you they haven't see it, you took some bread sticks to go and got up from your seat and left"

"It's not my fault that she hasn't seen one of the best law movies in history, besides To Kill a Mockingbird"

"AND SHE DOESN'T HAVE TO!"

I'm tired of Hanna and her antics to make me date, I have this big case that starts tomorrow and the last thing I need right now is her telling me how I'm a bad person, that's the Defense Attorney's job tomorrow when I meet him, which I think is a him, he was a him in my dream

"Em come on we will only be out for 1 hour tops, I know this case is going to be tough on you and who knows when you will have any free time, and that means you wont be able to hang with me, and I will miss you"

I look at Hanna and she me those puppy dog eyes

"Hanna you know I will always make time for you, but I'm really tired"

Hanna then sighs and turns around heading toward the door "Fine, I will just go home and cry in self pity because my best friend once again chooses her job over me"

"Hanna you know that's not true"

"Ooohhh no don't worry about me, I'm just a loser girl who owns a vintage boutique shop, while her best friend is the top lawyer in all of New York City and who knows even the whole east coast"

I hate when she pulls this act she knows it gets to me.

"It's nothing new it's just like high school when you missed my house party to practice for your debate team competition "

"HANNA THAT WAS, 8 Years ago and we won!"

"It stills hurts my heart, but who cares, just do your case practice, or what ever lawyers do" she says while dramatically reaching for the door

I hate this girl

"Hanna let me get my coat"

She turns around and runs towards me "yayyyyyy"

They don't lie when they say New York City never sleeps, the streets were so crowded that we had to take the cab to whatever bar Hanna wants us to go.

We are in the car and Hanna keeps starring at me and even though I'm 26 and have a pretty stable job, I still get paranoid when Hanna stares at me.

"What?"

She looks out the window "Oh nothing" I look out my side of the window and from the corner of my eye see Hanna starring at me

"HANNA WHAT?"

"What What?"

"You know what, why do you keep starring at me?"

"I'm not starring at you, stop being paranoid, and for a lawyer why do you care if you get judged, aha get it"

"Umm nice try on trying to land a joke even though it didn't have any connection to me, and just tell me why you keep looking at me, and don't you dare lie"

Hanna laughs "Why are you going to make me turn the situation back on me, Ms. Attorney Fields"

"No so just please just tell me"

"Fine, it's just…" Hanna motions her hand to my body "Your outfit is so….ummm how can I say this nicely... boring"

"What are you talking about, it's fall in the middle of November , I don't want to catch a cold"

"You look like you don't want to catch a date either" my mouth drops

"Hanna you said this wasn't a date thing"

"Haha I know and it's not, but you never know who you might meet"

Hanna pays the cab driver and we get out the car.

"I don't know why you didn't let me pay" I ask while clenching my coat

"Relax Em I'm not broke"

"I never said you were It's just you know i like doing things like that"

"Hmm then why don't use that generosity and buy a drink for a special lady tonight" I hit Hanna shoulder and she laughs as we walk into the bar.

We walk in and all we can hear is clapping. "Good we arent as late as I thought"

"What are you talking about"? I ask while taking a seat on one of the stools at the bar. I know this bar it's one of Hanna's and I favorite

"For karaoke night" she says eagerly while waving down for the bartender

"Yo Nate can you get me a virgin on the rocks, and Emily a….:

"I'm not drinking, you know I have a busy day tomorrow"

Nate starts making Hanna's drink "A course I know the whole world knows, how do you feel about it"? Nate asks

I'm just about to answer when Hanna interrupts "NATE YOU KNOW SHE CAN'T TALK ABOUT THE CASE"

Nate laughs "I asked her how she felt not what was the evidence found"

"Excuse Hanna Nate you know how she is, I feel pretty confident about it"

Nate nods while sliding Hanna's drink to her.

"That's all that matters, confidence can go a long way" Hanna takes a sip of her drink and lets out a moan

"Umm was that necessary"? I ask disgusted

"Yes, this is so good Nate"

"Why thank you, that's why I do the things I do"

As I'm sitting at the bar I think about who I might be going against on this case I mean I'm not nervous, I like a challenge but sometimes a challenge might get you to forget about your main goal.

"Em are you thinking about the case again"? Hana asks

"No, and speaking of case, why did you change my ringtone to the Law and Order theme song"?

"Haha, it seemed like a perfect choice, soooo much better than your basic IPhone ringtone, I was thinking about making it to hotline bling"

"Ooooh gosh, I'm glad you didn't, I'm so sick of that song"

Hanna then gets all close to my face "You and me we just don't get along" I cover my ears

"You make me feel like I did you wrong" I get up to head to the bathroom

"GOING PLACES WHERE YOU DON'T BELONG"I hear Hanna scream out over the music. I open the bathroom door and bump into a woman and our heads bump together.

I move back and hold my forehead

"Sorry, about that" the woman says while touching my forehead and I notice her brown eyes that illuminates from bathroom's lighting

She smiles and pulls her hand away "Sorry for touching you, I'm from the South so we tend to not understand personal space"

I smile out of politeness "It's fine, but yeah some New Yorker might not be fond of having a stranger touch their forehead, from the South or not"

The woman laughs "Yeah, I guess you're right, maybe I should get a lawyer in case you sue me"

Good luck finding one better than me. This woman looks like she in her mid-twenties she has brown long hair she's wearing an army green jacket with a black and white stripe shirt underneath with black legging, and some combat boots. She's dressed like a typical straight out of college student, if she is even went to college which she doesn't look like she has but who knows. I notice that I been starring at her longer than I anticipated

"Ohhh, no I'm not going sue you, there is no harm down" I laugh trying to avoid the awkwardness

"Good, because I doubt I could afford a lawyer, I bet they're priced high here"

"Actually it depends on what type of lawyer you want, the higher the lawyer is the better"

"I would have to disagree with that statement" the woman says with a cheeky grin

"Oh I'm sorry" I say taking off guard by her quick defense

"Don't be everyone has their opinions, it's just sometimes others tend to forget that sometimes the little guy gets forgotten and their information can be just as valuable as the big guys"

I nod "I guess you have a point, sometimes the underdogs needs to shine"

She laughs

"What's so funny?" I asks not getting the joke

"It's just at a point isn't everyone an underdog" what is this woman some type of hippie, she says her answers like it's some type of logic from the stars or something

"True, you got me there, so I guess the real question is why are the same underdogs on top"? I state

She thinks about it "Hmm maybe because, the underdogs know how it feels to be looked down on and they refuse to go back to their old lives"

This woman really has some solid arguments but not the type of arguments to have a fight over but arguments that really make you think

"You made your case" I tease

"Oh that wasn't my plan for tonight but nice to meet you, I need to get back out there" she extends her hand out and I shake it

"You too, nice to meet you….."

She smiles "Just call me the underdog"

"Okay" I say with a big smile on my face

After getting back from the bathroom I find Hanna clapping extremely loud for a man who just finished his karaoke song. I look over at Nate with wide eyes

"How many drinks did she have"? I ask

"Just two and she's already getting the buzz" I look at Hanna's eyes and laugh

"I can see that, to be honest you can't tell the difference between drunk Hanna or sober Hanna"

"I may be a little tipsy but, I'm not deaf now unless you're going to sing sit down"

You might as well call the champion of the game musical chairs because I don't think I sat on the stool fast enough.

I hear giggles from a group behind us and I turn around and see the same woman I ran into in the restroom.

She blushing mad hard and her friends are pushing her in the direction of the karaoke machine

"She's hot Em"

"Who?"

Hanna rolls her eyes while moving her straw in her empty glass "The girl who you were clearly starring at"

"I was starring at a lot of people you have to be specific"

"THE GIRL IN THE GREEN ARMY…" I cover's Hanna's mouth before you yells even more

"Okay, I know which one and yes she is attractive who so is a lot of people and besides I don't even know if she is even into girls"

Hanna pulls away "Ask her then"

"I'm not going to do that, that's so disrespectful I don't want her to feel uncomfortable"

Hanna groans

"Em, we aren't in middle school or high school where you ask someone their sexual orientation in front of the class and they get all nervous and flustered , we are fucking adults!"

"Still I think it's wrong doing that to someone maybe it's just the attorney in me"

"Whatever, for an attorney you're such a punk when it comes to flirting"

"Well I guess I'm guilty as charge" Hanna giggles

"Good one Em" Nate slides me a water and I watch her friends push her on to stage

She looks nervous but Hanna screams out "You Go Girl " and the woman in the bathroom room throws a thumb up in our direction

That's what I love about Hanna she's the type of person to make you feel welcomed even if you make yourself look like a fool she's wouldn't make you feel less of a person and taking in fact my job I need a person like Hanna in my life to make me laugh.

She takes the microphone "Umm hi, my friends forced me up here tonight, and I guess I will be singing for you all"

The whole bar starts clapping and her smile captivates the room

"Thank you, you all sure know how to make a girl feel welcomed, so my friends choose the song for me, but they promised me I would know the lyrics, and hopefully I do, so enjoy and please don't post this on IG don't want you all to lose followers because of my terrible singing"

The bar starts laughing Hanna being one of the loudest. She throws her thumb up and the music starts playing and she looks at her friends shaking her head in disbelief.

I know this song, it quite popular and I can see why her friends choose this song for the background and humor of it.

Her friends start laughing and she rolls her eyes and holds the microphone tighter.

"I don't know why, out of all the songs my friends choose this one" she says nervously

One of friend with dark brown hair screams out "It was Sydney's idea"

"That's what I thought, well Sydney this one is not going out to you" the girl who I think is Sydney clenches her heart and slowly falls out of her chair

Making the bar erupt in laughter. The song gets out of of the intro and she sighs while bringing the mic to her mouth and closes her eyes

You make it look like it's magic
'Cause I see nobody, nobody but you, you, you

with her eyes still closed she starts pointing in the crowd at random people

I'm never confused
Hey, hey

I'm so used to being used

So I love when you call unexpected
'Cause I hate when the moment's expected

So I'ma care for you, you, you

She then opens her eyes and drops to her knees

I'ma care for you, you, you, you, yeah

this girl is really getting into character I never seen someone sing so passionately before in my life. She slowly gets up again and points at me.

'Cause girl you're perfect
"I'm not perfect" I call back

You're always worth it
"I don't really get paid that much"

And you deserve it
"I didn't work for anything so I don't deserve it" I call back out

why is everyone laughing I'm serious, and why is she singing to me out of everyone here

The way you work it
"Didn't you hear me I don't work for anything"

'Cause girl you earned it
Girl you earned it

She does a hair flip to the beat and drops the mic on the floor

The bar erupts with claps and whistles she takes a bow and winks at me which makes me turn around and I see two face with wide eyes

"Can I get a drink please" I tell Nate to get him to close his mouth

I help Hanna up the stairs to Caleb and her's apartment she really did have a lot to drink

"That girl was so into you Emily, the way she was moving her hips, she soooooo wanted you"

I really hope Hanna forgets about this tomorrow, because I will be too stress to hear her talk about some girl who just sung a song to get a laugh.

I mean I would… no I wouldn't have probably done the same but anyone but me would had. it's not a big deal. I mean if Hanna was on stage she would had sung to a complete stranger too

I ring the door bell, waiting for Caleb to answer

"She said you earned it Em, you earned earned earned it" she sings

I ring the doorbell again and Caleb finally opens the door

"Get your girlfriend" he wipes his eyes clearly meaning he just woke up

"Hey baby, I missed you" Hanna says while Caleb takes her

"I missed you too" he looks up at me

"How much did she drink?"

"Probably 3 glasses, not as bad as last time, so I doubt you will have any problems"

"Thanks Em for bringing her here safe"

"No problem, have a good night"

"You too, and good luck tomorrow, you're going to kill it"

"Thank you, and tomorrow not game day, it's just draft day" I tease

I get to the courthouse and I'm running a bit late I run up the stairs because the elevator was taking too long.

My phone starts ringing and I see that's it's my assistant calling

"Hello"?

" are you on your way ?"

"Yes, Mike I'm running up the stairs now, I should be there in 2 min"

"Okay just checking I bought you some water"

"Thank you Mike see you in 2 min" I get to the entrance door of my floor and run down the hall. I should had never went out with Hanna last night.

Out of all days to be late, I had to be late on this day?

I can already see Mike down the hall smiling waving a glass of water I put a smile on my face to hide the annoyance.

"They're waiting for you in there" I nod and he hands me my brief case

"I know Mike"

"You should hurry up, they been waiting for you, and you know Judge Montgomery takes thing very seriously, you know like they say she never laughs "

"Thank you Mike I know" he smiles

"You got this"

"Thank you Mike" I open the Judge's office door and I hear laughing and to my surprise from Judge Montgomery. I never seen her laugh before ever someone sitting in the chair in front of her but I can't see who it is. I want to see who this person is because clearly this person has the gift to make serious people laugh

"Your honor I'm sorry about my late arrival" she looks up with a grin

"No it's perfectly fine, if anyone you should be apologizing to it would be to is "

"Sorry who"? I ask getting my papers out, I never heard of that name before

the person sitting in the chair in front of Judge Montgomery gets up

"Hello, I'm " my face drops she extends her hands out and I just stare at it. How can the girl from the bar be the same person here, wait if she is here that means.

"Fields, Mccullers is the Defense Attorney in the DiLaurentis vs State of New York case"

"Nice to finally meet you, heard great things about you " she says with a grin
