Sorry chapter two has taken so long, I just write when I have time or get motivated. Chapter 3 is in the works too. If you have a moment, let me know what you think! Without further ado, here is chapter two.

Ali began, "I think I know who A is, and you aren't going to like this… It's Paige." Emily was silent for a moment and then spoke,
"why was that so hard to tell me?"
"I thought you loved her Em, and I was scared to lose you altogether" murmured Ali. Emily admitted,
"Oh Ali. Paige was nothing more than a distraction because of losing you. Every single day was a struggle; I was forever regretting not telling you how I really felt. Everyone else I ever dated was to keep me distracted. But you never really left my mind anyway. I love YOU Alison!" Alison's face went red and she began sobbing as if that was all she ever needed to hear. And still with tears in her eyes she uttered,
"I'm so sorry I made you feel that way, my biggest regret is hurting you, I love you too Em, and I'll do everything to prove it to you."
Not a word more was spoken about Paige, despite the admission Ali had made. This night was just about them now. Emily wiped Ali's eyes with her sleeves which led to Ali leaning in towards her where they locked lips and shared a soft sweet kiss.
"It's time for you to rest up my butterfly", Emily whispered. Ali lay down in her bed and Emily tucked her in. After a goodnight kiss on the cheek, she turned around to leave, but Ali had other plans.
"My dad won't be home till later in the morning, why don't you stay here with me?" Emily jumped at the opportunity and agreed by coming over and lying next to her. She wrapped her arms around her love and closed her eyes. Ali smiled gently looking very satisfied as she too closed her eyes.

"BLINGGGG BLINGGGG!" Emily woke up to her phone ringing, but before she could answer she thought back to the night before and wondered had it all been a dream? But when she looked over next to her, there was Ali in all of her beauty, it must be real! Alison had awoken too, and as Emily was still taking things in, she grabbed Emily's phone and answered,
"Good morning!" she declared in her most cheerful voice.
"Alison!? This is Emily's phone, where is Emily? What is going on?" exclaimed a very surprised Hanna. Ali answered,
"Sorry, she just woke up! I decided to answer before it went to voicemail."
"That still doesn't explain why you're answering her phone…and at this early in the morning. Did I miss something? I always miss something!" Hanna expressed.
"We'll explain later. Want to meet up at lunch today? We have a lot to talk about." Ali disclosed.
"You sure do!" Hanna remarked.

Emily was just looking at Ali now, admiring how beautiful her darling was, how could she have been so lucky? Ali giggled and replied, "What did you call to tell Emily though?"
"Oh I just found her sweater that she left at my place the other night…but I think she isn't worried about that right now", Hanna said grinningly "see you at school!"

Ali handed Emily her phone, "That was Hanna. I think she has suspicions about us", Ali told Emily as she poked her on the nose and smiled from ear to ear. Emily did not think she had ever seen Ali this happy. And to know she was the reason for it gave her a million butterflies inside. Emily shrugged it off and replied,
"Hanna is cool, I'm just worried about Spencer, she is convinced you are A. You have to tell them about your theory of Paige being involved with A things, but first let me hear it before we go." Ali sat up and told Emily everything she knew about it.

Afterwards, when they were all ready to go to school, Ali turned to Emily "I'm never going to let you out of my sight again; I promise you'll never lose me again." She grabbed Emily's hand and held it tightly and they walked to school together with their fingers interlocked together.
