Pll Emison one shot
Alison and Emily are on their third date. it's been three weeks since Emily steeped out of her comfort zone and asked Alison to become her girlfriend, and now with no more A to worry about Alison plans to finally tell Emily exactly just how much she means to her. Even if all it takes is just 20 seconds of insane courage.
"That's it, that's all you need Ali just 20 seconds of insane courage". Hanna is now standing at the bar with me giving me a pep talk about Emily, as we wait to order more drinks. I don't know Hanna what if... What If she doesn't feel that way anymore? I mean I know she made the first move in asking me to be her girlfriend... but what if I scare her way. "Alison Lauren Dilaurentis you think way to much, This is Emily fields your talking about, that girl has been in love with you since the day you guys met, trust me that's not a feeling that just goes away". I sighed, Hanna was right I'd been trying to express how much Emily means to me all week but every time I tried to I'd get scared, I'd freeze as if forgetting what I wanted to say and instead change the subject to something less serious. Of course I was sure now more then ever that I was 100 percent in love with my brunette, but that nervous feeling in my gut that I keep getting is still here. Now that A is out of the picture, and my jail time is behind me the girls and I have had a whole month to get back on track. At first I wasn't so forgiving, I mean they were all pretty quick including Emily, to throw me under the bus and into jail But as I looked back on why they did what they did, I realised that my messed up past didn't exactly give me a very good track record. The truth is I wouldn't have believed myself either, and instead of holding a grudge for the rest of my life I decided to become the better person and except their apologies. sure I was hurt, but holding a grudge would be something the old Alison would have done, and I was determined to prove to the girls especially Emily, that I have changed that they can trust me. With no more A after five dreadful years, two of which I spent alone I was more then ready for a fresh start.
Before I'd been sent off to jail, Hanna was the one that I was working the hardest for to earn her forgiveness, so you could say that I was extremely surprised when she was the first to welcome me back with open arms. It seems despite our differences in the pass, she has had a change of heart, maybe for Emily's sake I don't know but that explains why she is now the one giving me advice. Spencer and Aria both apologised as well, claiming that we have all done things to each other that we regret, that if we didn't try and move on we would never get our happy ending and I couldn't have agreed more. What I wasn't expecting was for the old shy brunette i use to know, to come back and shut me out. For the first few weeks, she refused to make Eye contact with me and although I told her That what happen between us in my room when I got back from being on the run was real, that I felt something too it was like she was refusing to believe it, and it wasn't until one night Hanna noticed how hard I was trying that she told me why Emily was acting so different. She said that Emily blamed herself for what happen, that she think she was the reason I went to jail, and that she would never forgive herself for what she's done. Of corse my mermaid would be blaming herself for what happen, I mean it was so out of character for her as she wouldn't usually hurt a fly, and I know now that she was only in on it because of the rest of them. sure I was hurt the most when the one person I thought would always have my back changed sides, and was working against me, but if telling her that I forgive her and that I'm sorry was going to get her brown eyes to sparkle again and look at me, I was going to do it and I did.
Just over three weeks ago in the middle of the night I walked to Emily's house in the rain, and climbed the tree next to her room. I entered in the exact window I did when I first visited her after she found out I was alive, and although I new she would be asleep I just planned on being super quiet, except that didn't happen when I fell. I heard Emily gasp in shock as she flicked on her lamp, and I cursed at myself for making her jump, yet I can still remember the adorable face she had when she released it was only me. For a split second I saw her look at me with what I hope was both love and concern, for why I had decided to visit at 1am but jut as quickly as that face showed it went away. Emily sat up in her bed, her brown curls in a mess. I swear she is more beautiful without make up on then she is when she wears it . "Alison... Are you okay? What are you doing here"? I smiled at the concern in her voice and made my way to the end of her bed making sure to leave enough space. I'm fine Emmy I just... I had to see you. Emily let out a breath she was holding, still unable to look at me. Emily... Why? ... Why do I feel like your shutting me out? I mean don't get me wrong I know what I did to you guys in the past was bad but can't... Can't you see I'm trying? Spencer, Hanna, Aria they... They are all ready to move on but you... You won't even look at me, and I hate myself for making you hate me. "Ali" Emily sighed. "Alison I... I Don't hate you... I just, I can't look at you without feeling guilty for what happen. I'm the reason you went to jail Ali, I'm the one that listen to A instead of you when I should have just believed you were telling us the truth, I don't know if I will ever forgive myself for that". Hey, I reached towards Emily and placed my right hand on top of hers trying to stop her hand from shaking. If I can forgive you then you should forgive yourself too. I don't blame you for what happened Emily it wasn't just you, Mona and her not so brilliant plan was what put me in there. sure it hurt when I lost your trust, but maybe spending time in jail is what I deserved. I was a horrible friend back then and I will never understand what you ever saw in me. The reason I'm here is A is gone, I'm no longer in that hell hole and the five of us finally have a real chance to start over. I told you that the night in my room was the most real thing to have happen to me in years, and it's killing me that you don't believe me. I know I don't deserve your forgiveness but I want it so badly that I'd do anything. "Ali I... I do forgive you... I forgave you the minute I found out that we were wrong, that we had played right into A's trapped. You didn't deserve to go to jail Ali not when you did nothing wrong. I cried myself to sleep the night we realised that Mona was alive. Mike had told us but I didn't believe him until I saw her. I may have been stuck in that creepy doll house for a whole week, but as soon as I saw her all I could think about was you, and what we did. You needed us and we weren't there. I promised myself I'd get you out.
Emily began crying, and as soon as she did the tears that I was holding in came out too, as I crawled my way towards her for a hug, both of us not wanting to let go. when we did Emily sat back against the pillows holding her right arm out as she waited for me to shuffle my way in. With her arm wrapped around my neck I began to relax taking her hand and lacing our fingers together. Please just tell me what I have to do to see you smile and truly happy Em. I want the new Emmy back, the one I'm still dying to get to know If you'll let me. "Well... There is one thing that would make me more than happy". I could hear the change in her voice and she sounded so unsure about what she was going to say so I encouraged her. what?... What is it Em? I squeezed her hand for comfort and felt her muscles relax. "Would...would you maybe wanna be my girlfriend? I mean if what you said is true, then you should know that I haven't been about to stop thinking about that night too, I don't want a fresh start, not unless it includes you and me being together".
That moment, that moment that question left her lips I will never forget. i instantly new my answer and how hard it must have been for her to ask me that. I new that if I didn't answer her straight away she would begin to have doubts, heck she would probably start rambling telling me she's sorry and that she's a fool for ever thinking I'd want her in that way, so instead I just turned my head and connected our lips, in a kiss that was even better than the one we shared in my bed. I kissed her with as much passion and desire as I could, hoping that she would realise that I was finally admitting to both her and myself that I wanted her too, and when the kiss broke for air I smiled at how her face turned a deep shade of red. "Soooo... Is that... is that a yes? The amount of hope and excitement in Emily's voice made my heart melt, the sound was like a kid opening a birthday present. Yes... A thousand times yes... I would love nothing more than to be your girlfriend Em.
And that's the story of how we finally became more then just best friends, Since then it has been three weeks and Emily and I have barley left each other's side. after going on two dates we are now at a bar near Hollis on our third date with our friends, and there significant others enjoying the freedom of No A. "Come on Ali she deserves to know don't you think? I mean the poor girls been waiting forever, just pick a song tell the Dj and you guys can dance" Hanna encouraged me and I finally agreed. Alright wish me luck.
As I headed over towards the Dj I began racking my brain for the perfect song until I decided which one I wanted. I whispered it into the DJ's ear making sure he dedicates it to Emily before hurrying over to where the group was gathered. "Babe what took so long"? oh uh... n...nothing Emmy don't worry. Emily raised her eyebrows un convinced and I simply kissed her check before looking at Hanna and sent me a thumbs up.
"Alright this next song is dedicated to a special girl named Emily Fields, all you couples out there grab your partner this ones for you". When my eyes met her brown ones she smiled. " OMG I can't believe you asked Them to play a song for me"! Well I did baby so let's go, I wanna dance. Emily blushed before taking my extended hand as I lead the way to the floor. The piano then began to play and the words to every time we touch could be heard. You know Em I've never done this before. I blushed surprised that I was okay with telling her that. "Done what babe"? Emily looked at me confused. Slow danced with a girl, I began playing with her fingers unsure of what to do and dipped my head only to have her tilt my chin back up. "Well I guess I'll just have to show you, C'mere. Emily pulled my arm towards her draping it around her neck and I brought my other arm around to meet it as her arms snaked around my back. "Relax babe". Emily kissed my cheek and my head rested in the crook of her neck. As we began to dance the two of us fell into silence, Until I broke it afraid that if I didn't say something this moment and song would end. Em...you... You know I care about you right? Like a lot, more than anyone else! I felt Emily chuckle. "I would hope so babe since you...you know we are together" I laughed at her attempt to tease me. Babe stop, I'm being serious. " chill Ali I'm just kidding I care about you too always have. I smiled my heart melting for the girl standing in front of me. Well you know I'm...I've never been good at explaining how I feel but you...you deserve to know that... Well that I...I love you. I'm in love with you Emily and I have been since that day in the library, I was just to darn scared to admit it. I wish I told you sooner, it's... It's okay if you don't feel that way anymore I just wanted you to know. "A...Ali", Emily cupped my face in her hands and I forced myself to look at her beautiful face. Emmy why are your crying? My heart stopped for a split second. "I'm crying because I'm happy, you have no idea how long I have waited to hear you say that". Emily smiled as I leaned into her touch, reaching out my hand to dry her tears. "I love you too Ali so much! I could never stop". My heart swelled at those three words I was sure I'd never get tired of hearing and I too began to cry tears of happiness as my favourite person in the world pulled me into a kiss that I was sure was the best one I've ever had. In the background the once busy bar had now started to file out leaving us surrounded by only our friends who began cheering and shouting, Bring us out of our little bubble. "To Em and Ali", Hanna raised her glass and I turned my head accepting the shot glass from Aria. "May your love for each other grow every day", spencer finished the speech and the eight of us clashed our glasses in the middle of our circle. "Cheers baby" Emily whisper into my ear and I tilled my head back downing the burning liquid. Cheers Emmy I love you. "Forever" ? Forever.
