Hello everyone! I'm Juli and this would be my very first fic for PLL and Emison, I love this couple and I hope you guys enjoy this. English is not my native language so if someone wants to help me and beta this story, let me know, I have like almost 40 pages written for this story with like 13ks words, so any help would be amazing.

I don't own PLL or the characters... so, Ireally don't know who A is... yet ;)

Enjoy.

There's so many things people can do to prove their innocence. Telling the true is one of them. But that's not an option for me.

Telling the true at this point is revealing too many things that could affect innocent people. But the concept of innocent people depends on your perspective of things.

I had a friend who killed someone but it was in self defense. But not quite also. That person could have killed a lot of other people so my friend stopped it, maybe it was self defense but at the same time it wasn't.

Right now, my lawyer says that I should tell him where I was the day Mona Vanderwal die. But I can't tell him that, so I tell him to find the way of proving my innocence without actually saying what happen.

My life haven't been a nice ride for a long time, and it isn't easier now either. I mean, I'm in jail for something that I didn't do. I blinded Jenna, yes, I could be here for that but someone else took the blame for it. It wasn't one of my best moments, but I was raised to be the one who had the last word, so I did what I had to do.

My dad says my lawyer is one of the best in the country. He better be. I need to get out of here.

"Hello princess." I hear one of the other inmates saying. I'm so scare been here. I try to put on my bravest face when I'm walking down the halls but it's really hard to do it after that girl attacked me last week.

I get to my cell just to find someone is already there.

"Hello" She tells me and I'm not sure why is this person here. She's not an inmate since she's older than me and it's not wearing an orange jumpsuit. "You must be Alison DiLurentis."

I stay there freeze, without knowing what to do. She must see the panic in my eyes and takes a small step back and ask the guard to remove my hand cuffs. He does what he's instructed and them leave.

"I'm guessing no one told you I was coming today" She says while sitting on the only chair there is in my cell. "I'm your new counselor, my name is Lauren Bishop"

A minute goes by while she arranges her papers and for some reason I stay still.

"Aren't you going to sit?" She ask me. "Look. I'm here to help you."

"Help me with what? With my case?" I ask her in disbelief. "I have a lawyer for that." I tell her and sit on my bed facing her.

"I'm here to help you."

"You already said that and I repeat. I have a lawyer, and a pretty good one." I tell her.

She stays quiet for a few seconds and then repeats "I'm here to help you, Alison. Not the Alison that needs a lawyer to proof that she's innocent. But the Alison that needs a friend."

"I need a friend?" I ask her giving her my best smirk.

"You do." She tells me and gives me a piece of paper that has the name of my dad, my brother and Hanna's written on it. "That's your visitation list since the day you arrived until today."

"So?" I ask her giving her the piece of paper back.

"So. You either didn't have many friends out there because you lived in a basement, or you managed to push everyone away."

Ouch! That really hurt.

"It really doesn't matter but I'm a firm believer of second chances." She tells me putting her briefcase down. "And after everything I heard about you and about what happened I'm sure that you didn't kill that girl."

Tears begin to fill my eyes but I refuse to let them roll. I don't know this person but she is looking directly to my eyes and I feel like she already know me. But I can't let her in.

"You think a bunch of papers can tell you who am I?"

"No." She tells me really sure about her answer. "This bunch of paper tells me what you have gone through. I want to know who you are Alison."

"And why exactly?" I tell her but I don't let her answer me. "Because it's your job right?"

I don't know what this woman wants from me. All I care she could be working for A. Because I know whatever A has in store for me it's not just lock me up here.

"It's easier for you to believe that I'm doing this because it' my job?"

"It is."

"Yes, it is. But I want to go beyond my job. You are still a human being, a young girl paying for a crime that you didn't commit."

"Why are you so sure about that?" I tell her and I can see a change in her always smiling face.

"Have you watch the video tape?" She ask me and I'm not sure what she's talking about. "The one where Miss Vanderwal is attacked."

"No. My brother did."

"Well, you can't actually see the face of the blonde girl. It could be anyone for all I know."

"Are you suppose to tell me that?"

"I don't know." She tells me smiling again. "I guess not, but I want you to trust me and let me work with you."

"Do I have a choice?" I ask her when I hear the guardian opening my cell again. She gets up and pick up her briefcase.

Before she leaves she turns and smiles at me again and says "Sadly you don't, but I'll try to give you other options. See you later Alison DiLurentis."

She leaves me there in my cell and when I realise I'm also smiling.
