Hy guys! So, I'm finally ready for this road, I'll start publishing this book once I finish 'Rewind'. 'Stuck in love' it's a trilogy of 3 books. And, this 1st book is a tragedy which will take place around season 5 of PLL, especially after episode 10 when all the girls, including Emily, give the back on Alison. This is the 1st time I try to write from this angle, so I appreciate your point of view about it, I mean, most parts of the chapters will be in Alison's POV, like if she's talking about her past, because she's. Alison's narrative will be done from the point of view of the 'present' Alison. Hope it's clear…
NOTE: Everything in bold italics, it will be an internal dialogue, I mean, like, their thoughts in their mind. And everything between parentheses () it's to describe the scene. The *X* it's to mark a change of scenario.
So, let me know what you think about this, ok?
Chapter 1 – The Dream
*** Alison's narrative ***
I had a dream... a beautiful dream... a dream where I was in love... a dream where I was loved... I was happy, truly happy... yes... it was a beautiful dream... but you know, there is something about dreams... sooner or later you've to wake up... and in my case, without knowing... I was lining up for a rough awaking...
(Alison's POV)
Emily yells. - "I'm so done with you!"
Hearing those words coming from my sweet Emily, it broke my heart. Even Emily turned her back on me? How is that possible? She walks away, without turning back, and that's it, that's the moment I realize I'm alone… completely alone… and, it's my fault…
It has been hours since she left, I'm in bed, I should be sleeping but I can't stop recalling Emily's words, they keep repeating over and over inside my mind, I keep picturing her look of disappointment, she has never seen me like that and, I don't like it… I'm her Queen, she shouldn't turn her back on me! She shouldn't yell to me! She's my favorite! She…
(Noises of someone breaking in through the window)
Alison sits in the bed and says. – "Who's there?!"
Between the shadows of the night a familiar face appears…
Cece smirks. – "Hey, Ali… did you miss me?"
Alison. – "Cece? What are you doing here? You should be in Paris right now, you…"
Cece cuts her off. – "What I can say, I can't leave your side after all…" (She sits on the bed and says) "Don't tell me you didn't miss me?"
Alison. – "Well… I guess that's nice to see that at least you're still loyal to me…"
Cece. – "What do you mean?"
I'm not the kind of person to open up and talk about my real feelings, but, I guess that, at this point, I'm too exhausted to overthink about what I say, and before knowing I reveal to Cece everything that has been happening since the last time we saw each other… I don't know why but, Cece has this power to really make you talk even if you don't want to… She hears me and nods, she just nods… it makes me crazy…
Alison. – "You just nod? You've nothing to say?!"
Cece smirks. – "What do you want me to tell you? I told you those bitches would turn against you… it was just question of time…"
Alison sighs. – "But, Emily… she…"
Cece. – "It hurts you…"
Alison. – "Hah?"
Cece gets closer to Alison and says while she stares at her into the eyes. – "OMG! It really hurt you… she, turning her back on you… it hurt you badly…"
Avoiding eye-contact, I roll over in bed, pouting angry, because Cece is right, it hurt… it really hurt what Emily said to me… and far I was going to know, that she would hurt me even more…
Cece. – "Why it hurt you so badly…? Why she's so especial to you…?"
Why? I ask myself that question, deep down, I know the answer but I'm reluctant to admit it out loud…
Cece teases. – "It wasn't just for practice, isn't?"
Alison. – "What are you talking about?"
Cece. – "About your kissing sessions with Emily…"
Alison snaps, blushing. – "WHAT?!"
Cece smirks. – "Come on, Ali… for once in your life, be honest with yourself… say it… say it out loud… what does Emily Fields really mean to you…?
Honesty is not in me, it's rare when I'm really honest at 100% but, hearing Cece's question, taking seriously her question, before knowing, I found myself talking from the heart… and, God! How much I regret it, now!
Alison. – "I did terrible things, I still do… I'm a liar, the lies come to me like the air we breathe… so naturally… I've no practice telling the truth… I don't like the truth… the truth is slippery… you can't depend on it…"
Cece insists. – "Try it, just for a minute…"
Alison takes a deep breath and says. – "I know how I feel when she looks at me… I've never felt that with anyone before… it's like… she sees who you really are… she see through all my walls, all my masks… all my lies… she sees me… the real me and, that's the scariest part…"
Cece. – "What do you mean?"
Alison. – "I look at her into the eyes, and I… I… I just want to be worth the effort… I want to be the person she sees…"
Cece smiles. – "Thanks for the talk…"
Alison says, looking at Cece leaving. – "Are you leaving…?"
Cece. – "Yeah, I just wanted to check on you… don't worry, you'll see me again…"
Alison nods
Cece. – "I'm sorry you're going though a hard time… but it will get better before you know it… I promise…"
She said it with that particular smirk she has and, I wasn't sure at that moment, if she was being nice or she was planning something… but, eventually I would find out; sadly, too late for me to do something about it…

(The next day in Rosewood school)
Emily. – "I'm sorry guys, you were right all the time about Ali…"
Spencer. – "You're finally seeing her for what she's, Em…
Emily nods with sad look
Hanna. – "So, what now…?"
Emily. – "I think I will get back with Paige…"
Hanna. – "I wasn't talking about your love life, Em… really… Paily again…?"
Emily raises an eyebrow. – "Paily?! What is 'Paily'…?"
Hanna. – "Paige + Emily = Paily…"
Emily rolls her eyes
Spencer. – "Look guys, what we need to do now is to…"
Spencer's speech gets interrupted when their phones ring…
Aria says with fear. – "What now?!"
With scared looks, they look at their phones and, they drop their mouths open reading the new message from -A…
*X*
(In the DiLaurentis house at night)
Jason says. – "Where are you going…?"
Alison. – "Out…"
Jason sighs, he hates Alison's attitude…
Jason. – "You shouldn't go out at this hour… you just came back, you should be careful with yourself…"
Alison says with a sassy voice. – "And, you shouldn't pretend to be a 'big carrying brother' when it's just the two of us…"
Jason presses his fists together; he's really trying to be there for his sister but, damn! Alison makes it so damn difficult sometimes. The blonde looks at herself through the mirror one last time, she smirks with proud when she sees her impeccable appearance. She's looking stunning and Jason notices it too…
Jason. – "Where are you going…?"
Alison. – "I just told you… out…"
The blonde tries to open the front door but, as soon as the door slowly opens, Jason closes it with force…
Alison whines. – "What the HELL, Jason?!"
Jason. – "You're not going anywhere till you tell me, where are you going…"
Alison mumbles angry. – "I'm going to see Emily…"
Jason raises an eye brow. – "I thought you weren't talking…"
Alison. – "Why you say that…?"
Jason. – "I heard your conversation last night…" (Sighs) "I heard the things she said to you and, I heard you crying after that…"
Alison avoids eye-contact and says while crossing her arms around her chest. – "I've no idea of what you're talking about…"
Jason sighs and, looking at the blonde, he opens the door for her…
Jason. – "Go… I'll covert you if Dad comes back before you…"
Alison nods and was ready to leave but Jason stops her…
Alison says annoyed. – "What, now?!"
Jason. – "Ali… you and me, we have something in common, we got a second chance…"
Alison raises an eyebrow. – "What do you mean?"
Jason. – "Some months ago, I almost die for an overdose… and you… you just came back to life…"
Alison sighs heavy, not sure of what she should say about it…
Alison mumbles. – "I… I didn't know… I'm sorry… are you okay?"
Jason teases. – "You don't have to pretend to be the 'little carrying sis' when it's just you and me…"
Alison rolls her eyes and Jason chuckles…
Jason. – "Look, what I'm trying to say is that we got a second chance and not everyone gets that chance… we should cheer it and this time, really try our best on don't wasting time; make each second precious and unforgettable… Ali… for once in your life, don't think about the incomes, what you get or what people will say… just think about what really makes you happy and go from there… follow your heart and you'll not regret it…"
With Jason's words running inside her mind, Alison walks towards her meeting with Emily. Ignoring the reasons of this encounter; since the moment she received the text from Emily, Alison knew she had to go… and far she was going to know, that, she was walking to a trap…
*X*
(In the kissing rock)
Emily says with hesitation. – "I've a bad feeling about this…"
Spencer. – "I know Em, but you read -A's message; the safety of your parents and Paige depends of this!"
Emily says angry. – "I can't believe -A dares to threat my parents and Paige… I swear if he does something to them, I…!"
Aria cuts her off. – "Don't think about that… nothing bad will happen to them… that's why we're here…"
Hanna asks. – "And, what exactly are we doing here?"
Emily shakes her head. – "I'm not sure… -A just told me to settle a meeting with Ali, here and be here…"
The girls look at each other with fear and confusion, no sure of what was the next game that -A was planning for them…
Spencer hears something and says. – "Someone is coming…" (She says to Emily) "Don't worry, Em, we have your back…"
Hanna. – "We will be hiding between the bushes…"
The girls start walking and Emily says to them…
Emily. – "Wait! What I'm supposed to do…?"
Spencer. – "Just play along…"
Emily. – "What…?!"
The brunette sighs heavy, passing a hand through her hair, she has no idea of what she should do and, she gets speechless when she sees the smocking blonde who's just walking towards her…
*** Alison's narrative ***
Picture the life you dreamed of living, the person you pictured being with. Are you living the life you envision for yourself? Are you working hard to make it happen? Are you who you want to be…? Or are you still waiting to see if the dream, it's just that… a dream…
Emily mumbles while she stares at the blonde. – "Ali….?"
Alison smirks so bright; seeing how Emily stares at her without a blink, it increases Alison's ego and, that's one of the reason why Emily is her favorite… because, no one looks at her like she does it…
Alison says with a sassy voice. – "So… you ask me to meet you here… why?"
Emily presses her lips together, she has no idea of how to reply, she's there just because -A told her…
Alison sits on the kissing rock, she crosses her legs in a sexy way, she chose to wear a tiny skirt, her purpose was to emphasize her legs and, making Emily to blush; Alison grins when she gets to see Emily blushing, trying so hard to don't look at her legs…
Alison smirks. – "Talk to me, Emily… why I'm here…?"
With the mouth open; Emily has no need to talk when some fireworks appear…
Emily looks up and says. – "What the hell?!"
The blonde looks up, she looks confused but when she reads the message written in the sky, a big smile appears in her face…
'Marry me…'
The girls, Emily and Alison read the message and they drop their jaw open, no sure of what was happening…
Hanna. – "Is this a prank?!"
Spencer. – "No… this is a sick game…"
Aria. – "Why -A is doing this…?"
From nowhere, a drone flies over the kissing rock and drops something on Alison's hand. The blonde grabs it on the air and when she opens her hand and see what is it; she glows when she sees the beautiful diamond ring. Emily is speechless; she doesn't know what to do, what to say, damn! She has no idea of what is happening and, she has no idea of what -A has planned for her to do…
Emily mumbles with a shaking voice. – "Ali… I… I…"
*** Alison's narrative ***
Picture the life you dreamed of living, the person you pictured being with. How's the view? Do you like what you see? Do you can handle it? Can you pursuit it? Can you make the dream a reality? Or, it will just turn against you, like anything else, making you realize that dreams no exist, just nightmares…
The blonde looks at the brunette who's standing in front of her, she stares at her and recalls her previous conversation with Cece, with Jason and then, the unexpected happens… something that no one saw coming… no one… except for -A…
Alison. – "Yes…"
Emily gulps. – "What?!"
For the shock of Emily, Alison puts on the ring on her finger and she smiles looking at the ring; the blonde stands up and, hugs the brunette while she happily says…
Alison. – "YES! Yes, I'll marry you!"
Emily. – "WHAT?!"
*** Alison's narrative ***
So, like I told you before... I had a dream... a dream that started here...
