Hey, thanks for the kind reviews, here's chapter 4 :)
SENIOR SURPRISE
''Emilyyy! Are you up?'' Emily hears her mother call from downstairs.
''Myeah ..'' she mumbles as she pulls the blanket off of her. She instantly shivers, it's freakin September, it shouldn't be so cold in here ...
She eventually gets up and quickly turns on the radiator. Not that it's gonna help, because it always takes like three hours to warm the old thing up, but still. She decides to let her room heat up while she eats breakfast, so she can change in a more comfortable temperature.
She wobbles downstairs and glances at herself in the mirror. She looks tired.
As she walks into the living room, she sees that her mother has already set the table. Well, more like a wedding buffet. It looks like their celebrating something. Are they?
Ohw right, it's Senior year.. Emily thinks. Doesn't really feel like it ..
She sits down at the table and slowly starts to put some jelly on a sandwich. ''Emi, why aren't you dressed yet?'' She suddenly hears behind her.
That wasn't her mom ...
She quickly turns around and her eyes widen.
''DAD! What are you doing here?'' She shouts as she jumps up to hug him.
''I wouldn't miss your first day of school for anything, would I?'' He laughs and holds Emily by her shoulders to look at her.
''You are getting taller everytime I see you'' He smiles, a bit sadly. ''I am so proud of you Emi.''
Emily smiles at her dad. She missed him so much! He had been on the front in Afghanistan for a long time, and although she was proud of her dad for being so brave to fight for his country, their home just wasn't complete without him here.
Her dad takes her in his arms and hugs her tightly. ''I can't believe my little girl is going to graduate soon ..'' He says proudly.
Emily laughs ''Daddy .. It's still a whole year..''
He looks her in the eye. ''It will go by so fast honey, enjoy it to the fullest. This is your year.'' He smiles ''Now go get dressed or you're going to be late on your first day!''
Emily laughs and hops upstairs.
She smiles gratefully at her mom as she passes her. Her mom kisses her cheek and signs that she has to go get ready.
As Emily gets to her room and opens the door, she curses at herself. Her room has turned into a super hot sauna.
She frowns ''What the hell ...'' she mumbles to herself, before realising the radiators were changed a couple of weeks ago. She sighs and quickly turns it off.
At least she wasn't freezing anymore.
A little while later Emily is dressed and all ready for school. She's sitting on the couch, waiting for Spencer to stop by.
Spencer only lives a few streets away, so they always meet up for school. When Spencer was at sports practice, Emily used to walk home with Ali. She lived next door to Spencer, so they could walk the same way, but they never did. Ali always found some excuse to make the road longer, and Emily never minded.
Those walks with Ali were always way too short, and every week she looked forward to the days Spencer had practice, so that she could be alone with Alison.
When Ali suddenly disappeared, Emily was heartbroken. Alison had never been the greatest friend, she got the girls into crazy and even dangerous situations, but when Emily was alone with her.. Every second made her love the girl more .. And she had never had the chance to tell her in the right way.
She had never known if Alison had loved her back. Maybe she was just playing sick games with her, like everyone said.
But Emily prefers her version of the story, where Alison had always loved Emily, but she was too scared to admit it to herself, just like Emily. Therefor, she could be angry and rude to Emily one time, and another time they would share innocent kisses in the library. Those were the moments Emily would never forget ..
''What's so funny?'' Emily asks, as she hears Ali giggle. She turns around the corner of a bookcase and sees the girl sitting on the ground with a book on her knees. Alison looks up. ''Their names'' she smiles. ''Pip, mr. Wopsle, Uncle Pumblechook.. They all sound like stuffed animals'' she chuckles.
Emily smiles and sits down next to her ''I can't believe you already finished it.''
''Want me to tell you what happens?'' The girl smiles ''I can make you a cheat sheet''
Emily chuckles and looks down as Alison runs a hand trough Emily's hair ''You know you should really let me braid your hair sometime ..''
Suddenly Emily looks up ''I had a dream last night .. about Jenna ..''
Alison glares at her ''Emily don't. Okay stop thinking about that. There is, all sorts of operations and stuff they can do.''
''I dreamed that she came back and she was fine .. She could see perfectly and .. she forgave us.'' Emily says smiling.
Alison smiles sweetly ''That's why I love you ..You're big on happy endings ..''
''Emily! Spencer's here!'' She hears her mom call and she snaps back in reality. She stands up from the couch, runs to the kitchen to grab and apple and walks to the hall.
Her mom and dad are standing in the doorway with Spencer. ''Hey Spence'' Emily walks up to her and hugs her friend.
''Now you girls hurry to school before you're late'' Mr. Fields smiles.
Emily smiles back at her dad and hugs him. ''You'll be here when I get back, right?'' Emily asks hopefully.
''Ofcourse Emi. Now kiss your mom goodbye and get going.''
Emily gives her mom a quick hug and walks out the door with Spencer. She turns around and waves at them before facing Spencer ''You driving?''
Spencer nods ''When did your dad get back?''
''This morning'' Emily says happily, and she laughs as she sees the non-understanding look on Spencer's face.
''Don't ask me ..'' She smiles.
Sorry this was a lot of Emison but it's just some background information that's gonna be nescessary to remember ;)
