Paige or Alison?
A/N: I dot NOT own anything from Pretty Little Liars
As soon as Emily got home from the warehouse, she stormed up the stairs and slammed her bedroom door. Emily saw the picture of Alison on her wall and started crying. Then she saw the photo of Spencer, next to the ones of her other friends, and started throwing things onto the floor starting with that photo. When her room was completely trashed, Emily had ran out of steam and collapsed on her bed, sobbing uncontrollably.
"I'm so...sorry...Alison" Emily said between sobs. After about an hour of crying Emily has fallen asleep. "I forgive you Em" Alison whispered, walking out of the closet towards Emily's bed. She sat on the edge of the bed carefully, as to not wake up the sleeping girl. Alison ran her fingers through Emily's hair and places a kiss on her forehead. "I'll ask you to meet me again in time, but Spencer stopped that for now."
Alison got some paper and wrote a message for Emily. She placed it on the bedside table and sneaked back out of the house without anyone knowing she was there. The alarm went off at 6am the next morning. Emily groaned at the annoying sound and turned the alarm off. After stretching and rubbing the sleep from her eyes, she sat up and took in her surroundings. The notification tone sounded from her phone, indicating she had a new text.
Emily went to pick up her phone and noticed the paper on top of it. Instead she picked up the paper and read what was written.
My Darling Emily,
I regret that our meeting yesterday didn't go as planned, I can't meet you again for a while as it's not safe, today was a big risk. I do want to see you again and I need to tell you something that I should have said a long time ago, before this A thing started. I don't blame you for Spencer showing up, you had to tell someone in case it wasn't really me and Spencer was only looking out for you so don't be too hard on her. I would have done the same thing. I miss you
Love Me xo
As soon as Emily had read it she knew is was from Alison. "I miss you too Ali" Emily whispered to the empty room. She re-read it twice before putting it down and getting ready for school. Before she left her room she put the note in the draw of the bedside table and picked up her phone. Emily read the text she had received earlier as she walked down the stairs.
Paige: We need to talk
The text was from Paige and she wondered what Paige wanted to talk about. Emily ate breakfast, gathered her things and left for school. Later at their break time, she met up with Paige at one of the outside tables. "Hey, what did you want to talk about?" Emily asked as she sat down. "Us," Paige answered, "and whether or not...we should break up". "What? Why would we?" Emily questioned.
"I found this note in my bedroom this morning. It said to stay away from you because you were theirs, but there was no name. Are you cheating on me?" "No, of course not, let me see it" "Then what is this?" Paige asked as she handed over the note. Emily looked at the note and realised that it was Alison's hand writing. Emily looked around the area, looking to see if anyone was watching or listening.
"I'm not cheating, but I can't explain here, it's not safe." Emily told her girlfriend. "Is this about A?" "In a way, yes" "Ok, I'll be at yours at 6" Paige replied before getting up and going to class as the bell rang. Emily quickly sent a text to her friends saying she had to tell Paige about Alison before getting up and going to class. While in science, sitting next to Toby, she received text replies.
Spencer: You can't!
Aria: What? Why?
Hannah: No!
Emily: I have to! Alison left her a message in her room, saying I'm hers and now Paige thinks I'm cheating
Spencer: Are you sure it was Alison?
Emily: Yeah I recognised her hand writing
Spencer: Why would she say that though?
Emily: I don't know she was always playing games
Hannah: Then you have to tell her
Emily: Thanks you guys, will someone help me explain it to her?
Aria: Yeah I will
Spencer: I can't sorry, I have to sort some things out with Toby
Hannah: I can't either, spending time with my Mom
Later that day there was a knock on Emily's front door and she went to open it. "Hey" Emily and Paige greeted each other. Emily led the way into the front room, where Aria was sitting on the armchair, and sat on the settee. "Hi Paige" Aria greeted with a small smile and Paige smiled back. They sat in silence for a few minutes until Emily thought of how to word what had happened.
"What I'm about to say will come as a shock" Emily started and took Paige's hand into hers, "We've recently found out that...Alison is alive". Paige's jaw dropped and she couldn't think of what to say. Emily and Aria told Paige about the events of going to Ravenswood and finding Alison alive. "Yesterday I saw Alison again and she was different, she was sincere. We were talking and we hugged but then Spencer had followed me and Alison got scared so she ran." Emily told her.
Paige slumped against the back of the settee, her mind was reeling. "Paige?" Emily asked. "I'm gonna...need a minute" Paige mumbled. Once Paige wrapped her head around it, she questioned, "Alison's really alive?" "I am" Alison said from the door way. "What are you doing here?" Aria asked. "I came here to fight for what's mine" Alison stated, glaring at Paige. "She's not yours!" Paige shouted.
"For what's yours?" Emily asked disbelievingly, standing up. "I need to talk to you" She said, walking out of the room and pulling Alison with her. They walked into the kitchen and Emily turned to face Alison. "What are you doing? Are you safe?" Emily questioned. "Yes, I am for now" Alison answered. "Ok...What was that? I'm not yours, we were never together!" Emily demanded.
"That's just because I was stupid and scared but I've realised life's too short to care what other people think. I don't want to die without telling you how I feel" Alison told her. "How do you feel?" Emily questioned. "I haven't stopped thinking about you since the night of the sleepover in the barn. I have romantic feelings for you, deep feelings and I want you to be my girlfriend" Alison admitted.
"You never wanted to be with me, you made that perfectly clear every time I would do something of that nature" Emily accused, tears welling in her eyes. "I'm sorry about that Em, I really am. I wasn't ready then but I am now!" Alison replied. "It's a little too late for that. I'm with Paige and I love her" Emily told her, and walked passed Alison but paused momentarily when Alison called after her, "You still have feelings for me!".
