This is a fanfic about what would happen if Emily did NOT break up with Paige for telling the police that Alison was alive in Pretty Little Liars. DISCLAIMER: I do not own Pretty Little Liars.

The day Alison went back to Rosewood High…

Paige's POV

I was walking to school with Sydney when my heart dropped to the ground and I was Alison Dilaurentis. I heard that she was back but back in school? Does she not remember what she did to a half of the students here? Everyone was crowding around her but I didn't want to be anywhere near that she-devil. People were actually happy she was there...happy. How can they just rub off what she put them through? I felt sick to my stomach and I couldn't bare another second of it. "I can't watch this" I told Sydney and I started walking home. She asked if I was serious and I didn't answer. I hated Alison for torturing me and I'm not going to let her do it again.

Later on in the locker room…

"Hey!" Emily said kissing Paige on the cheek."Sydney said you went home?"

"Yah." Paige said. "I was feeling sick to my stomach all of a sudden."

Emily knew her girlfriend was lying to her. "Would it have anything to do with Ali being back in school?" She asked.

"Look I know she's your friend and all," Paige stated trying to explain, "but even being in the same room with her makes me feel sick."

"Don't let her have that kind of power over you, Paige."

"Em, you don't understand. She did a lot of bad things to nice people. People like me. So yeah, I'm kinda scared." Paige's voice cracked.

Emily wanted her to get over her fear of Alison so she invited both of them to her house to talk it out.

In Emily's bedroom later that day…

"Alison, do you want me to stay?" Emily asked.

"It's okay if you do." The blonde said.

Emily turns to her girlfriend. "It's up to you Em" Paige replies. Emily takes a seat between the two.

There was a moment of silence. "Thanks for getting us together Em" Alison starts, breaking the ice. "Paige and I are lucky to have you as a friend." Emily smiles at her. Paige notices the looks they shared and remembers what Emily told her. She told Paige that Alison was Em's first love before she left. And now, it seems, the only thing keeping them apart was her.

"No." Paige says. "I'm lucky to have her as a friend and you're lucky that she still talks to you."

Alison looks confused. "What do you mean?" Alison thought for a second and then it came to her. Emily must have told Paige that she once had feelings for Alison and that she didn't feel the same. "Paige-" she starts off but the Paige cuts her of. "No. What kind of person does that to a friend? What kind of friend are you? And if you really do feel bad for what you did to Em, think of what you did to me?" Paige yelled,her voice cracking. "You used my feelings for Emily against me and I hated you for it. I still do. I didn't care if you were dead. I just cared you were gone." Paige finished tears streaming down her face. She turned away and Emily jumped up to hold her. "You should go." She said to Alison. "Now." Alison walked towards the door. "I really am sorry." She said finally. Then Ali left

Next day at school…

"Hey Em!" Alison shouts from across the hall. Emily say her but since Paige told her not to talk to Alison she decided not to wave. "Wanna go to the Brew later?" Ali asked.

"I'm going to be working so…" Emily said truthfully. "Cool!" Alison said cheerfully. "So you'll be there anyway. Besides I need to talk to you about what happened yesterday."

"There's nothing to talk about." Emily admitted. "You know I don't want to side with Paige because she's my girlfriend but what did you expect Ali? You really hurt her. And what she said about me and you wasn't a lie. You hurt me too." She explained.

"I know!" Alison practically screamed. She then looked around noticing they had an audience. She then pulled Emily's arm into an empty class room. "I know that I hurt you and you have no idea how sorry I am. I was awful to both of you." Alison continued. "But I can't walk around after last night thinking knowing that you think I didn't love you. I did, I do. I was confused when I told you that those kisses were for practice. They weren't. I just didn't know what the feelings I was having towards you meant." Emily just stared at her friend. Alison in leaned for a kiss which the tall brunette turned away from. "I love Paige." Emily said. "I just...can't" With that she walked away shamelessly. Alison looked to the ground with a sigh. She had to find a way to get Emily to realize she was making a mistake being with Paige.


Emily's POV

I cannot believe Alison!? First she fake dies, right? And THEN she comes back to life finally admitting after all this pain I went threw, all the time I spent getting over her, she loves me! You know she is the only reason I am at this bar. The last time I had a drink was...when my other girlfriend died...wow...I have a history of dead lovers. It's depressing. Glad I have my liquid courage to get me threw it. Paige is a good person. She is a great person totally discarding the time she drowned me. But she does not deserve this. But then again Alison is and always will be my soul mate. She was my first love. But hey, what's a little boos can't fix. I am wasted. I'll text my love to pick me up because no one can tell me otherwise.

Alison's POV

I was studying at Spencer's with the girls and I got text from Em.

ime at hat bar bye grilllle and ie cant driv sooo can you pik me up? thhanccksss-em

It had like a lot of spelling errors but it seemed like she wanted me to pick her up...from a bar. OMG Em is drunk! I didn't know if Emily wanted me to tell anyone so I told the girls my dad wanted me home. I said my goodbyes and headed off. While I was driving I wondered why she would do something like this. I also wondered if she had put any drunken thought into what I said earlier. I really do love her and everything I told her was the truth. Every word. But I don't want her to feel like she has to choose between me or Paige but, I think she may end up having to. I mean I love Em no matter what so I support her decision no matter what. But I don't think Paige will be considering she doesn't even know it's a choice between me and her. But like I said I love her. I will anything to protect Emily.

I walked into the bar looking for Emily. After a while I started to get worried. I had to ask the bartenders if they had seen Emily. I asked 4 of them before I found one who knew who I was talking about and I had to ask 2 more before one of them finally told me the tall brunette was in the bathroom. I peaked in, not wanting to step a foot into that disgusting place, and I saw Em in there...crying. I hesitated to walk in, not because of the germs, but because she was having a moment and I didn't want to interrupt. Then I realized that she texted me, not Paige, so Em wanted me here. I walked in, not knowing if she would notice I was there. But she did. Without even looking up from the sink she said "I really am sorry. I didn't want to hurt you but, I love her. I have for a long time. I'm so so sorry. I love you too. But I just, love her more,Paige." I was shocked that she thought I was Paige but then I remembered she was drunk. And if she really did think I was Paige then I think she just broke up with her because of...me. I had to get over the shock and take Em home. I took her hand and dragged her to my car.

Pam was sleep and I was incredibly happy because after all that has happened I did not want to face the wrath of Emily's mom for bringing her daughter in drunk. I helped Em up the steps until she practically collapsed in my arms. After capturing the moment I pushed her up the stairs, into her bedroom and on her bed. I thought she was sleep so I lied next to her. I mean Em is an athlete, so she's big! After I caught my breath, I sat up, just thinking about everything, looking at how beautiful Emily is. When she looked up at me with a smile I tried to act like I wasn't just staring at her. I quickly got up to get Em a glass of water so she could sober up and we could talk.

o0o0oO

When I came back with a glass of water Emily was sitting up, and playing with her hair. I smirked at the sight. I gave her the glass and put myself next to her. "Can I ask you a question Em?" I asked. "I mean I know you won't remember it tomorrow but it seems now is the only time you'll tell me the full truth. Okay?" "Sure!" She said cheerfully. I was actually scared to find out what the answer was. But I tried to pushed the Q out. "Know that I need you to be honest with me." I said stalling. But Emily knew I was beating around the bush. "I don't hear a question!" She shouted. I closed my eyes and blurted it out. "Who do you love more, me or Paige?" I felt like I was pushing boundaries because Emily stopped drinking the water mid sip. "Finally. I was scared you both would just assume I loved both of you the most. Thanks for asking Alison." I realized she didn't answer the question. So I asked her who does she love more again, and she gave me an answer that made me smile from ear to ear. "You." She said simply. "I've always loved you the most. When I was with Maya I didn't know it, but now that I'm with Paige it's clear to me. It's always been you." This time I leaned in for a kiss and she let me. We separated for a second and then we kissed again, with passion. I had never been happier in my life. That is, until Paige came in and saw us.


5 minutes ago

Paige's POV

Emily had told me to meet her at the grille a few hours ago but she wasn't there. I tried her cell and she didn't answer. After a while I started to get worried. I tried her phone one more time and then I left to go to her house I wanted to see if she was okay. After all this Mona stuff going on I didn't want to be alone anytime she didn't need to be.

o0o00o

I ran up to Em's house and the door was open. When I cautiously walked up the steps I smelled something...vodka? I ignored the smell and continued to Emily's room. Before I opened the door, I heard the sound of lips smacking. As I forced the door open, my legs turned to noodles as I saw them Emily and Alison...in Em's bed...kissing.


It took both Emily and Alison a moment to realize that Paige was in the room with them. When they did they both shot out of bed, watching Paige slowly. Emily, now completely sober, walked up to her girl friend, taking her shoulders, she said softly "Paige..." Paige then looked at her with tears in her eyes. Emily tried to comfort her by giving her a hug, but Paige pushed her away. She then, slowly, walked up to Alison, who had been looking at the floor for a long time, scowled at her, then slapped Alison so hard, she fell to the floor. While Alison silently sobbed, she ran her fingers across the cut Paige made. Emily froze for a second, then ran to Alison's aid. "Get the hell out of my house Paige!" Emily yelled. "And don't come back!" And with that Paige took one last look at the blonde who she struck, punched a hole in her ex-girlfriends wall and left.

At school the next day…

Emily's POV

I tried not to go to school today. My hangover was atrocious. I had sun-glasses that Hanna gave me for my birthday on (which were more than likely stolen) and a fitted cap that blocked the rest of the sun out of my face. I walked up the steps to enter the school when I realized that first period was over. I would have cared more if my head would stop pounding. The bell didn't help. I practically fell to the floor because the pain was so intense. After I stumbled to my feet I saw the girls down the hall. Spencer waved me over. Alison, who had stitches on her cheek, avoided eye contact. I slogged, over my head hurting now more than ever, memories from last night coming back. I saw Paige, and Alison in the same room and I got scared. What happened last night. I finally got to the group. "What the hell happened to you?" Aria asked. I hated how loud she was being."SSSHHhhhhhhhhhh" I insisted. "Keep your voices down." The other girls giggled, though I didn't see anything funny. I realized Alison seemed distant, but I didn't mention it considering the gash on her cheek looked painful and I didn't want to ask the question she was being asked probably all day.

Even though I didn't want to pry I still had to figure out what had happened the night prior. I was going to ask Ali if we could talk but she was trying hard to avoid me. And it didn't help when the bell rung. After the girls said goodbye, I grabbed Alison's arm and she turned around looking very frightened. "What happened? Last night..." I questioned. When it seemed she didn't want to talk about it, I was going to stop. But then a flashback from last night came back and I saw Alison and I kissing. Oh no... Oh god no... I started to realize that I hadn't seen Paige all day and the memory I just witnessed was probably why. While I put the pieces together, the kiss, Alison and Paige in the same room, me not seeing my girlfriend all day and Ali being distant, I dragged Alison to the bathroom. Every stall was empty so we were in the clear. "WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?" Alison screamed. I was still extremely hung over so her yelling tore a hole through my brain. It hurt so bad I thought I might cry. But that was not the issue at hand. "What happened to your face Ali?" I asked, still recovering from her blow up. She looked shyly at the floor, her face flushed. I had realized that I have never seen Alison Dilaurentis so...embarrassed. But the moment doesn't last long. She retrieves herself and looks at me, annoyed. "Is that really all? God Em. I tripped when I was walking to school. Can I go now?" Asking as she pointed to the door. But she didn't wait for my response as she strutted towards the bathroom door. I couldn't tell if she was lying because Alison had become a master at hiding her feelings but I knew something was up. "What happened last night." I say quietly, but I knew she heard me. She stopped in her tracks. She slightly turned her head to me and said. "Ask your girlfriend." She said her voice slightly cracking. I was opening my mouth to say something but she ran out of the bathroom before I could spit anything out.
