Just a little one shot to get me jazzed up for writing again. I have a few ideas in my head so I may turn this into a multi-chapter but I'm sure yet. If you liked it, please review and let me know.

"Move! Get out of the way!" Emily yelled at the reporters crowding around the driveway of the Delaurentis house. They had been there all morning long, each of them trying to get pictures or a few words from Alison Delaurentis. Emily finally parked her car and opened the door. As soon as it was open, cameras were being shoved inside trying to snap a photo of the hooded figure in the passenger seat. "I said move!" Emily said a bit more angrily as she pushed them back and got out of the car. As soon as Emily was out of the car, the cameras were now focused on her.
"Emily, is it true that you and Alison Delaurentis are a couple?"
"How does it feel to finally have Alison back after two years?"
"Is it true that you knew where Alison was all along?"
Emily tried to block them out as she made her way to the passenger side of the car. The reporters were ruthless. Every question was meant to pry into Emily and Ali's personal lives. For two years, Emily thought that Ali was dead. She even went to her funeral. The heartbreak that Emily felt during those two years was the worst thing she had ever experienced. She spent most of the time trying to figure out how to move on without Ali. For Emily, that was nearly impossible. For her, it has always been Ali. Ever since they were little kids, Ali always managed to get Emily's attention. They were just drawn to each other.
Jason came out of the house and pushed his way through the crowd to Emily. He held back the reporters while Emily opened the passenger side door and let Ali climb out of the car. Immediately Jason was overtaken by the force of the crowd and Emily and Ali were surrounded. Each reporter was yelling out a question while their camera men tried their best to get a shot of Alison. Alison wrapped her arm around Emily's waist and hide tightly against her side. Emily kept her protectively around Ali, daring anyone to touch her.
As soon as they reached the front porch steps, Jason ran ahead and opened the door. Once inside, Ali pulled away from Emily and and removed her jacket. "The police are on their way to set up a barricade to keep the reporters out. It shouldn't take long" Jason said looking at the two girls. "Thanks, Jason" Emily said smiling weakly at him. It had been an exhausting few days and you could see it on their faces that they were exhausted.
Ali tossed her jacket over the back of a chair and reached for Emily's hand. "Come on, let's go upstairs" She said gently tugging at her arm. "I'l let you two get some rest. I'm sure you guys are tired. I'll deal with these bozos outside" Jason said as he turned and walked into the living room.
Following Ali's lead, Emily let the smaller girl pull her up the stairs. They tucked into Ali's room and shut the door behind them. Finally, they were alone. The silence int he room was broken by the voices of the the reporters outside but they were nothing but a dull chatter. Alison kicked off her shoes and walked over the edge of her bed and sat down, her eyes focused on the floor.
"It's so strange being in here again. It still looks exactly the same" Emily said as she leaned against the door and crossed her arms over her chest. The room was still just the way Ali left it when she disappeared. It was almost like she never left, like she had been there this whole time. But that wasn't the case. As much as Emily wished that that was the truth, it wasn't.
Ali looked up from the floor and over to Emily. "I'm just really glad you are here" She said as she felt tears starting to form. "I know you have Paige and all I'm not going to get in the way of that but I just wanted to see you."
Before Alison's disappearance, before Paige came into the picture, before the misery of the last two years happened, it was Alison and Emily. The two had been together for nearly two years when Ali left. Then...things got complicated. After the funeral, Emily had to figure out a way to piece her life back together without Ali. It took her a while to do but she finally found some happiness with Paige.
"I wanted to to see you too" Emily said quietly. Ali felt her heart race for a split second but knew better than to get her hopes up. "Then why haven't you?" She asked, looking at the girl that she had loved for so long. Emily looked up at Ali, their eyes meeting for the first time since entering the room. "I-...I wasn't sure if you wanted to see me" Emily said.
Ali stood up from the bed and walked over to where Emily was leaning against the door. Emily grew nervous as Alison came over and she dropped her hands to her side. "Em, I've been dying to see you for two years" Ali said, stopping just in front of the taller girl. Seeing the tears in Ali's eyes, Emily could feel a knot forming in her throat. "I know that we...we can't go back to the way things were but I just want you know that you haven't left my mind for a single second since I left. I still love you..."
Alison reached out and grabbed Emily's hands and held them in her own. "Ali, I'm sorry" Emily said, her voice shaking at Ali's touch. "Don't be. I'm really glad you found someone and that you are happy" Ali said though she convinced neither of them of that. Emily pulled her hands away from Ali and wrapped them around her, pulling her tightly against and holding onto her. "I'm so sorry, Ali" Emily said as she began crying. Ali's arms wrapped around Emily's waist and she buried her face into the crook of her neck. Emily wasn't sure why she was apologizing. I guess it was her way of trying to erase all of the shit that had happened.
After two years or torment, Ali was once again in Emily's arms. Both of them had wanted this for so long. Day and night, Emily dreamed that she could hold Ali just one last time, kiss her and tell her that she loved her more than anyone else in the world. Now she had the opportunity but Emily no longer belonged to Alison. She had someone else to go home to. She had moved on. Well, at least she was trying to.
Ali pressed her lips to Emily's shoulder and smiled despite the tears. "I thought you were dead" Emily sobbed, still in disbelief that Alison was alive. "I feel like all of this is a dream and I'm going to wake up any second you're going to be gone."
Ali shook her head as she pulled back enough to look up at Emily. "It's not a dream. I've right here and I'm never leaving you again" She said, moving her hand to cup Emily's cheek. Suddenly Emily's lips were pressed to Ali's. Thoughts of anything else were gone and the only thing on Emily's mind was Alison. Ali wrapped her arms around Emily's neck and tangled her fingers into her dark hair to deepen the kiss. Emily's hand found their way to the hem of Ali's shirt and slipped just under the ends, gripping onto her hips and trying to pull her closer.
Suddenly Ali was gone. The warm skin that was just at Emily's fingertips was gone and the kiss that she knew so well and had been craving for so long was suddenly gone. Opening her eyes, Emily was in total darkness. The light in the room came from the streetlight outside. Emily was in her room, tucked into her bed. It was all just a dream. Paige was sleeping soundly beside her and the only noise that she could hear was her own heart pounding against her chest. It had felt so real and now...Ali was gone again. "She promised she wouldn't leave this time" Emily said to herself as she felt the tears welling in her eyes. Taking a deep breath, Emily tried to calm herself and pulled the covers back over her as she laid don and faced away from Paige.
