Chapter 1: The Human Heart

A/N: So here I am, instead of updating any of my ongoing stories I can only figure out other ideas and write this, anyway I hope you'll still like it and I wish I'll be able to keep writing it but with my history the odds are that this is the only chapter I'll ever post of this story.

Emily's Pov-

There are three unwritten rules at Rosewood high. The first rule is that the Queen is in charge. The second rule is that you never betray the Queen. And the third rule is that the Queen never forgives.

My Friend Alison Dilaurentis made sure to enforce the third rule at any chance she could. No one was safe from her.

She maybe sounded like she was a tyrant, but it was through her I met my other friends that I never think I'd ever meet.

Spencer Hastings the smartest person you'd ever meet, Hanna Marin if there is a style the is perfect for you she'll figure it out and Aria Montgomery the most creative person ever.

Alison brought all of us together, but we eventually found out that she'd be the queen bee of us just as much as she was the queen of the school.

Whenever all five of us would walk down the school's hallway Alison would always be in the middle and somewhat in front of us, showing that she was in charge.

I remember that things had been like that for a long time, but things were about to change.

It was an evening in October, and I had finished my laps in the pool, Swimming had always been a passion of mine and I had dreamt that it'd own day be my future.

I was standing by my locker as I put my black hoodie on.

"Hi Fields, broken the record today!" I heard a voice say. I turned around to see Bailey, a girl on my team, she was rather short, tanned with a short blonde hair but very athletically built.

"Not sure, but I will someday." I said as I checked my cellphone, it said 10:30 pm, I had been there much later than I thought but it was a Friday so at least I didn't have to worry about being tired at school.

"You are our star swimmer, with you on our team we will win all our meets!" Bailey said while she opened her locker that was 7 lockers away from mine.

Smiling to her compliment I was about to say something as I heard the door almost slam open and there was Alison, she walked up to me, but instead of stopping when she reached me she took a few more steps until she was positioned between me and Bailey.

"I thought you'd be here, if you'd spend any more time in the pool you might sprout gills!" Alison joked.

I wasn't too sure if she was trying to be funny or just imply that I spent too much time practicing swimming, I just stood there in silence.

"Hey Em, do you know when the next meet is?" Bailey asked and before I had time to answer Alison turned to her and spat "How do you think you'll be an asset to the swim team if you can't even keep track of the schedule?"

"No, I just…" Bailey said but Alison cut her off.

"You know, an aquarium fish forgets everything after swimming a lap in its bowl, how many laps have you been swimming." Alison insulted her.

I wanted to tell her to stop but I couldn't bring myself to a single word.

I just looked down in shame as Alison threw another insult towards Bailey, I mumbled a silent "Please, stop…"

Once I looked up Bailey was gone, there was a look of satisfaction on Alison's face as she said "Stupid girl, she's as dumb as a fish!"

I felt really sorry for Bailey, I wanted to defend her but as I looked into Alison's eyes I just couldn't.

Alison grabbed her cellphone and started to type. "You know, I wonder how popular that idiot would be, if the school found out that she used to be a boy!" Alison said.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Nothing, just curious on how she'll handle next Monday…" Alison said as she kept typing. "And sent!" She said.

There was a beep on my phone and as I checked it I saw that I had gotten a twitter notification, I felt completely horrified as I read it. Alison had tweeted that Bailey was born as a boy.

I was completely horrified as I looked up to Alison. "But, that's not true!" I said.

Alison just shrugged. "That's the beauty of high school, hot gossip doesn't need to be true, it just needs to sound like a huge scandal." She said as she pocketed her phone.

"Come on, I'll drive you home!" She said and I instantly followed her, no hesitation just obedience.

As she drove me home, she took a scenic route.

"When I first saw you, I could tell that you were special!" Alison said.

"Sure, the other girls are also special in their way but you…" She said and moved her left hand over my right hand and gave it a squeeze. "You have a big heart and you care about anyone." She continued as she rubbed her thumb on the back of my hand.

"You know we are seniors now, just a few more month then we'll graduate, I've been thinking about doing something special after graduation." She continued.

"I want us to take a trip through Europe, Pairs, Italy, Spain. Just imagine the beauty of it!" Alison said.

"I think the girl would like…" I said and then Alison moved her finger over my lips.

"No, just you and me. The other girls don't need to know, it'll be our little secret!" She said.

I felt a warm feeling through my entire body as she said that, as I looked into her eyes it felt like everything, I never knew I wanted was coming true, my mind drifted away imagining what could happen in Alison's suggestion.

Once Ali reached my house, she parked her car by the street. She looked over to me and said. "I know that trip will be wonderful." She traced her hand through my hair and as I felt the butterflies in my stomach, she pulled me in and… she kissed me. I couldn't believe this her soft lips were pressed against mine and I had no idea how this just had happened, I just hoped this moment wouldn't end.

Ali sucked on my bottom lip asking for access, but I just couldn't bring myself to grant it to her. She eventually stopped and pulled away. She looked at me smiling and said. "It's ok, we can continue at another time!" Then she winked at me.

I was completely dumb folded as I got out of the car and got into my home. I felt like I was on clouds as I went to my room. Overjoyed I threw myself on my bed and sigh.

I knew a long time ago that I was gay, but I had only told my parents about it, they were both shocked but eventually they got over it. Despite that I hadn't told anyone else, I had no idea how Alison had figured it out, but I didn't care. I was just overjoyed with happiness. I felt like everything was going to be amazing and full of love.

I leaned back on my bed and closed my eyes in pure joy.

The next day

I had been thinking of the kiss the whole day, I felt like a was in a cheesy rom-com movie, but it didn't matter since I was just so happy.

I was walking down the street past a small café as I heard Alison's voice call for me. I felt my heart skip a beat as I saw her there all stunning in a yellow sweatshirt, yellow had always looked amazing on her.

She gestured for me to sit down and I had no problem doing that.

"Been dreaming about our trip?" Alison asked.

"It's been the only thing on my mind." I answered.

"That's great, it'll be so fun." Alison said.

I smiled as I daydreamed about our future.

I noticed her smiling to me, then she asked me to come closer, I wasted no time getting to her and I looked her deep into her eyes as I moved in close to kiss her, this time I was willing to go further. I closed my eyes and in the very moment my lips grazed hers she pulled away.

I opened my eyes to see Alison look at me. "What are you doing?" She asked.

Completely confused I stumbled for words.

"You thought that just because of what happened in my car I was like you." She said sounding discussed.

"Just because you and I kissed in the car last night doesn't mean I'm into you like that. I like boys. And trust me, if I'm kissing you, it's practice for the real thing!" Hearing those words broke my heart, all those happy daydreams had been brutally murdered just in a few seconds.

I had to get out of there, I got up as I heard Ali say.

"I'm short on cash, would you mind paying for my coffee, after all it's cheaper than the gas I used to drive you home last night."

I didn't say anything, I just reached into my purse and pulled out a twenty-dollar bill, then just to be on the safe said I put a five-dollar bill on the table as well.

The rest of the weekend was awful.

Monday morning:

I had just arrived at the school I didn't want to see anyone today but as luck would have it, the girls gathered around me. I quickly hid my feelings and started to put on the show of my life. I couldn't let them know what had happened between me and Alison.

As we stood in the parking lot waiting for Alison to arrive, as we had to every day I could see Bailey run out of the building, she was crying and wasn't even attempting on hiding it.

"Can you believe what Ali wrote about her?" Spencer asked.

"She must have done something terrible to get that treatment." Aria said.

I wanted to tell the other girls what had happened but I just couldn't, besides if Alison would find out that I've told the other girl that I knew that truth about the rumor she had started she'd sure do something worse to me, then only thing I feared more than living in fear of Alison was getting rejected by her and lose all my friends.

I remained silent as Alison's car drove up to the parking lot and once, she got out she smiled at all of us, she shot me a quick look but then she resumed acting like her normal self.

As she walked past us expecting us to follow her suddenly a motorcycle drove right past her dangerously close.

Caught off guard Alison fell right on her ass. I stood there as the biker, dressed in tight jeans, a black leather jacket and a helmet that was covering his entire head.

Usually I'd feel worried about Alison if this would have happened any other day, but now I felt kind of glad that she got to feel how it was like to get embarrassed.

"Idiot!" She cried to the biker as he parked. "You fucking son of a bitch, who do you think you are?" She yelled as the motorcycle's engine was turned off.

The Biker got off his bike and turned to us, looking like a member of a biker gang.

As the biker reached underneath the helmet and took it off, I was greeted by another surprise. As the helmet came off a curtain of long auburn hair fell down and I saw the glistering sight of a stunningly beautiful woman's face. The biker was a girl.

She holds her helmet underneath her arm and walked up to Alison who was still sitting down looking up to the biker.

"My name is Paige McCullers, and I just transferred here." She said as she walked past Alison not knowing who she was.

I could see Alison boiling with anger as she narrowed her eyes at her newest hate target.

"I swear by the end of this day, I'll destroy her!" Alison growled.

That was the day I first saw Paige, and the day that changed everything.

A/N2: Well there is was and before Emison fans start to make requests I'm just going to stop you right there, I like Emison at all (I got nothing against Sasha Pieterse because I know the difference between actress and character).

If you like this story I really hope I'll be able to keep writing it but I can't promice anything
