Alison's POV
We walked into my house and went straight up to my bedroom. I hopped straight onto my bed but Emily still stood by the door.
"Sit down Em?" She hesitated for a few second before walking over and sitting down.
"Ali seriously what did you need to talk about? This is the third time you've done this in the past few weeks." She looked genuinely concerned. I wanted to tell her but I just couldn't. What if she didn't feel the same? I mean I know she used to but I saw the way she broke apart when Maya died and she's moved on from her so why would she still like me? I've had years to tell her and I've missed my chance. She's moved on. To Paige of all people! I just need to accept it and move on myself.
"Nothing important Em, really! I just wanted to spend some time with you." I could say honestly.
"It couldn't have waited till tomorrow? Or even later? You knew I had plans with Paige today!" The annoyance in her voice was obvious.
"I'm sorry that I just wanted to spend time with you! We never get to have a day just the two of us anymore. I miss you." I said with my biggest puppy dog eyes. I knew Emily wouldn't be able to stay mad at me for long. I could see a smile growing on her face.
"I miss you too! But Paige is going to be pissed if I keep cancelling on her to spend time with you." I couldn't help but laugh.
"Why are you even dating her? She's such a loser!" Emily was trying to be stern but she couldn't help smiling too.
"Be nice!" she said hitting me with my pillow. "She's not a loser! I really like her. Why don't the two of you get along anyway? You never have anything nice to say about one another and it doesn't make life the easiest for me." I actually had to think about this question for a moment. I've always known Paige liked Emily and I was just jealous. I done what I could to keep Paige away from her and Emily with me but there is only so much a person can do but I couldn't exactly tell Emily that.
"I can't even remember not to be honest. It's just a long running feud." Emily sighed. She knows I'm lying.
"If that's all it is then why don't you give it a rest and be happy for me?" I gave her a look as if to say 'you've won'.
"You tell Paige that I'm willing to lay my armour down if she is." A smile quickly grew on her face. She jumped across for a hug. How on earth did Paige get so lucky as to get like Emily and how was I so stupid to miss my chance. I swore it that one day soon I am going to tell her. She laid herself on the line for me before and I'm going to do it for her. I owe her that much. She sat up and smiled uncontrollably.
"You were so desperate to hang out today so what are we going to do?" she winked at me. Why. Why oh why must she torment me like this.
"Hmm, how about we go get some ice cream now and decide as the day goes on?" She nodded in approval.
"An adventure. I like it." she smirked. I just laughed.
oOoOo
We were walking down the town street, arms linked like we always do and just talking about anything and everything. We got to the ice cream shop and I went inside to get them whilst Emily sat at a table outside. The queue wasn't too long so I was only waiting 5 minutes or so before I got to make my order. Rocky Road for me and Mint Choc Chip for Em. She didn't need to tell me what she wanted, I knew what her favourite was. I put the ice creams down on the table and sat on the seat across from Emily. Man she is the best thing to look. She is literally the definition of perfect. Her skin is so smooth. Her hair is so long and flawless. Her eyes are so deep and beautiful. Her teeth are so white and her smile is so cute. She has an amazing figure plus I cannot think of one bad thing this girl has ever done in her life. She is nice to everyone. Yet she is still best friends with me. And for some strange reason she actually used to have feeling for me. Me. She noticed me staring at her and tilted her head and gave me a puzzling look. God she is so cute. But I need to snap out of it. Just laughed.
"So Emily. What were you and Paige supposed to be doing today?"
"Going to the movies if you must know." I nodded and didn't say another word. Just then who else but Paige walks down the street. Emily isn't facing that direction so I just whisper "Incoming" and Emily turns to look and spins back as fast as possible.
"Shit" she muttered under her breath. She stood up to walk inside but Paige saw her first.
"Emily!?" she yelled. Emily spun slowly on her heel to face her.
"Hey Paige!" she said enthusiastically but I could tell it was fake. Paige continued to walk towards Emily until she was standing in front of her and she was yet to notice me sitting at the table next to them.
"What are you doing?"
"Oh just going to the bathroom." Emily said innocently.
"You said you had to help your mom what are you doing…" she stopped mid-sentence when she looked round to see me sitting at the table.
"Of course." she growled before storming off.
"Paige it's not what it looks like I swear just let me explain!" Emily yelled after her but Paige didn't even stop in her stride. Emily turned to me and shook her head.
"I need to go." she said before grabbing her phone from the table and running after her girlfriend. I actually feel guilty about this. I was being selfish and I might have ruined my best friend's relationship. I need to help fix this. I grabbed my stuff and ran after them both.
