Hey was-sup this is my first fan fiction Yay. I am going to try to keep this story going. this is most definitely the most angsty of all the chapters to com. My grammar was terrible so I edited I guesses really should have looked over my work the first time. Sorry:-[
"One, Two, THREE." They chanted in unison, well as much unity as they could manage since both of them were considerably drunk. The liquor burned the back of the two girl's throats.
Hanna the lesser of the drunken two spotted their friend and stumbled her way over to her. "Hey Ali," she slurred as she brought her in for an awkward hug "I thought you weren't coming tonight," she was barely able to manage the simple sentence. "Oh my god Hanna how much have you had to drink?" she questioned slightly amused by the display. Hanna squinted trying to remember and held out a sideways five. "You are such a lightweight," Ali stated.
"Hey, I am not nearly as… drunk as Aria and she had less then me." Just then as if then as if to prove her point Aria staggered over slightly falling sideways. "Hey girlfriends," she sing-songed , as if she was celebrating something and brought Ali into yet another awkward hug. "I thought you weren't coming tonight," she garbled then let out a quiet burp.
"My other plans cancelled," Ali said being her typical cryptic self. "Do you guys know where Emily and Spencer are?"
"Spencer's over there talking to her other nerd people," Hanna pointed over to a crowd of people who were laughing about something spencer had said. "And Emily is hanging out with Maya," Aria continued. Ali clenched her jaw deciding to let her guard down a little since both Aria and Hanna were drunk off their asses. She hated Maya it wasn't anything personal though. She just thought Maya and Emily spent way too much time together. About a couple of months ago Emily and Maya had gotten really close. So close, Emily had actually been skipping on plans with her friends to hang out with her. Yesterday though, was the straw that broke the camel's back for Ali. Alison had invited Emily over and only her, when she didn't show up Alison had been shocked, Emily never missed a chance to be alone time with Ali. And not only had she not shown up but actually forgot they had plans.
In a desperate attempt not to do something stupid Ali decided to change the subject. "So, Aria's where's Noel shouldn't you be draped around his arm," Ali said with obvious pride; she was the one who got them together anyway. Hanna started to shake her head vigorously. Then Aria burst out into tears. Alison was taken aback by Aria's emotional 180 even though some of it could defiantly be blamed on the alcohol. "They broke up today at the party," Hanna explained as Aria sobbed into her shoulder.
"He… Cheated… on …me," she relayed in between breaths.
"That dirty man whore, I promise he won't get away with this," and Ali meant it. She was very protective of her friends especially Aria and Emily, them being the sweet ones and all. Ali left Hanna to take care of the bawling Aria that she inadvertently created.
Ali walked outside in an attempt to work the room and see if there was anything she could find out. There probably wasn't, but frankly she didn't want to have deal with Aria and Spencer and Emily seem to be preoccupied. The string of lights wrapped around the trees and poles gave a beautiful almost eerie glow to the yard that went unnoticed by its drunken occupants. Ali starred admiring the beauty of the shimmering forest when she heard a loud 'Whoop'. She pinpointed the sound as coming from a group of routy boys. She walked over to them to see what all the fuss was about. She saw the seemingly leader of the group was holding pictures that appeared to be taken from the photo both at the party. She could only hear snippets of what the boys were saying, but words like 'dam nice' and whistling stood out to her though. "What the hell are you perves looking at," Alison said with her usual air of confidence. "Oooo busted," one of the boys said arising drunken laughter from the crowd. "Hey your this girl's friend right," the boy said Ali just stared at him incredulously then he showed her the picture. Her heart dropped no, not dropped cracked inside her chest. Her mind raced a million miles per second, but one thought stood out among the rest, it was probably the most idiotic, she willed the picture to go away like somehow if it wasn't here it wouldn't have happened. If the picture wasn't there than that meant Emily never did it.
One deep breath, however was all it took to collect her thoughts, temporarily at least. "You creeps," she said releasing some of her pent up venom, as she snatched the scarring photos from the boy's hand. His reflexes were much to slow to stop her. "Hey give us those back," he demanded arising agreeing chants from his peers he tried to take the pictures back. "Why don't you find some other girls to perve out on your friend David is probably an expert by now," the boy she referred to bowed his head in defeat causing playful teasing from his friends. She gave a deadly smile and stocked off.
Usually she would have stayed and enjoyed the banter she had dirt on at least half of those jerks. This wasn't usually she wished it was though, oh how she wished it was. It could have actually been an enjoyable situation for her finding out a secret about a friend. But this was definitely not usually as much as she would like to believe it was, it wasn't. As soon as the shrubs covered her back she let herself break down. Her walls crashed opening the floodgates of emotion she kept hidden so well. She sat down in at a near-by rock letting out a scream that was muffled by her tears. And that same idiotic thought played if you destroy it will go away. So, she tore up the picture in almost minuscule pieces and threw them on the ground kicking dirt over the remnants. This wasn't just simple jealousy playing through Ali's head no it was much stronger. She knew Maya had the ability to give Emily something she couldn't, love. This picture signified Emily tiring of her games, Emily moving on.
