Hey guys! I'm back for chapter 3. I was actually afraid that I wouldn't get past chapter 1, but here I am! My last fic that I did was completely first person POV and I wanted to try third person POV for this fic, but I'm finding it difficult to convey emotions and feelings in that POV. So i'm going to be transitioning at some points through different POVS. You guys will be able to tell so don't worry! Anyway, I hope you enjoy!


"I seriously doubt you were just taking a stroll all the way to my house."

"You know, doctors say that everybody should walk for at least 30 minutes a day. It's good for your health."

"Come on, Ali. Why are you here?"

"Jeez, Em. What's got you so upset?"

"Sorry. It's just that my mom was a little peeved that I stayed out last night. I don't think she'd be too happy that someone's over so late and cutting into my school week schedule."

"Ugh. Mother's can be such a drag sometimes, but you've gotta love them. We take them for granted sometimes."

Emily sat at the edge of her bed, "How's your mom doing anyway"?

"She's finally getting back into her regular routine, or so I think. It was how she acted before, but she can still be pretty protective sometimes," Alison said as she sat down next to Emily. "Well, I won't make your mom anymore upset than she already is. Make sure you keep your window open though."

"My window? Why?"

"It's called a win-win situation. Your mom is happy I didn't stay long, and I get to climb the side of your house and crawl into your window. It's win-win! Actually, it's a win-win-win."

"What's the third win?"

"You get to have me for a few more hours," Alison winked and walked out of Emily's room. She could hear her friend saying goodbye to her mom and then closed the front door behind her.


Emily's POV

I sat on the edge of my bed waiting for Ali to come up through my window. I wasn't sure if she would actually do it. There's not even much to grab onto to pull herself up. It's been over 10 minutes since she left my house. I decided to call out her name.

"Ali?"

I called out her name as I walked to the window. I whispered her name one more time when I stuck my head through the window, and there she was. Three inches from my face. My heart pounded and I jumped back in an instant, "Sorry!" I said.

"What are you waiting for? Pull me up!"

Ali's hand popped up over the base of my window. I grabbed her hand and attempted to pull her up. My palms were sweaty, so our hands slid right past each other.

"Please don't let me fall, Em. I already cut my leg on one of your branches."

"Sorry about that," I said as I reached out my hand again after having wiped it on my shirt. This time our hands gripped tightly and I was able to pull her up. She felt so light. Ali got her footing on my floor and sat down at the edge of my window.

"Do you have anything for this?" She pointed at a cut on her leg. It wasn't very long, but it looked deep.

"Oh yeah, your leg! I'll go to the bathroom and get something." My feet rushed to the door and to the bathroom. I opened the cabinet containing our band-aids and hydrogen peroxide.

"Emily, who are you talking to?" Mom had heard me talking to Ali.

"Nobody, it was just the TV," I said, tripping over my words.

My feet rushed back into my bedroom. Ali was cleaning the blood off of her leg with a tissue. Her tanned skin was glowing in the light from the moon. I stood still in my doorway, watching her. Her eyes met mine.

She whispered, "close the door. Wouldn't want your mom to hear us again, would you?"

I regained focus and shut my door. I tossed her the band-aids and hydrogen peroxide.

"You want me to put this on by myself? You seriously think I can do this by myself? That bottle full of stuff is going to sting like hell."

"It doesn't sting," I laughed.

"Yes it will! Here, you put it on for me and I'll put the band-aid on."

I rolled my eyes while chuckling at her ridiculousness. She straightened her leg as I kneeled down on the floor next to her. "I can't believe you just climbed the side of my house, and for what? So you can get injured?"

"No pain no gain," she smiled.

I couldn't help but smile when she did. It had always been a problem for me. Ever since we became friends I smiled when she smiled. I laughed when she did. I hurt when she hurt. I missed my friend more than I had realized.

"Why are you smiling? You haven't become sadistic now have you? A person who gets enjoyment through the pain of others?" Ali kept smiling.

"You bet. Watch out or I might push you out the window." I finished cleaning her cut. Ali unwrapped the band-aid and stuck it over her leg. She immediately sprung up after she finished.

"So what's in store for us tonight?"

"I don't know. As long as it's not too loud."

"You know what we haven't done for the longest time? A fashion show."

"Fashion show?"

"Remember when I used to come over and raid through your closet and drawers? I would match the cutest clothes and make you try them on, and sometimes I would find things that I liked and wear them myself. Come on," Ali opened my closet door. "Let's see what new things you've bought within the last 2 years."

I watched as Ali pulled every article of clothing out of my closet. I didn't know I had so much. It made me feel kind of bad since I hadn't worn some of this stuff for a long time. She rifled through everything that laid across my bed. Her hand lifted a dark blue dress from the pile. She draped it across my dresser and took off the leather jacket that she was wearing.

"Put on these. I can only imagine how great you look in this dress, and this jacket might look even better on you than it does on me."

I picked up the dress and jacket and walked towards my door.

"Where are you going?"

I turned around, "the bathroom. I was going to put these on".

"Oh come on. Don't waste your time and just get undressed in here. It's not like we haven't done this before."

It's true that we've seen each other naked before, but why was I so nervous to get undressed in front of her now?


And there was chapter 3. As always I hope you guys enjoyed it enough. It's 10pm here in Texas and I was about to lie and say that it was time to sleep but who am I kidding i'm going to be up for another 6 hours at least. It's summer. :)

See you later!
