"Another Love"
I think she was afraid to love sometimes. I think it scared her. She was the type to like things that are concrete, like the ocean. Something you could point to and know what it was… And I think that's why she struggled with love. She couldn't touch it. She couldn't hold on to it and make sure it never changed.
Remember when you were busy burying everything in the depths of your heart. Every single thing about the person you wish you could forget. The hearth you tried to escape from was trying to do the same. This person spent so much time and energy beating himself for what he did to you. He was trying to stay away from you, because he thought you will be happier this way, even if he will never be without you. So he tried so hard to cover everything up, making sure nothing will ever escape or break it. This person restored the old fallen walls that once were around him, the ones you tried so hard to destroy. But your voice never really left his mind, your touch was never forgotten by his skin and your eyes was still the only think he could think of. No matter how deeply it was buried in this person's heart, everything about you was just too strong to hold it all in.
I swung the doors open, bursting inside of the house. My hands full with various of papers from work. I know, they said that I have a free time off the job until I find the my own premises, where I could work, but what else I could do?
In third time I somehow managed to kick the doors closed behind me. In the house was dark and silent. "Jason?" I shouted, making sure the place was really empty.
The relationship between my and my brother Jason was better than ever. A few weeks ago, he came back home from his trip, to just after a couple of weeks, he will be heading to the other destination. Even if I was sad he will be leaving again, I was very happy for him that his created campaign that was working wonderfully and he was managing to help as much people as he could.

I tossed the papers on the kitchen table and then I was about to sit next to it, I heard a familiar melody coming up from my phone. I looked down at the screen to see the name popping out, "You just couldn't resist Jason, could you?" I said to myself before answering the phone.
"Yes," I said. "Hey, Alison!" I heard a man's low voice from the other side of the line. "What's up!" I said filling my voice with as much energy as I could. "Jeez, you sound horrible!". "Oh, well, thanks, I am good how are you?" I said, rolling my eyes, but smiling "Come on, Ali you know that I can tell when you are trying to hide something." I rolled my eyes one more time. "I know you won't accept it, but it's okay." We both chuckled. Even if I didn't want to accept it was true. "By the way, congratulations with a promotion." he said cheerfully. "Thank you Derek". "But there is something I still don't understand?" "Ugh?" I said, looking through the window into the now dark sky. "Why are you working if they said not to?" I smiled to myself "Since when Alison DiLaurentis not make, but do orders" As I said I heard him laughing from the other side. "That's true, but you know what I mean" "I… What else would I do?" "Well, for example searching for the office here in the town?" "Derek…" "I know it's hard Ali, but…" "No, you don't…" I whispered to myself looking down at the table for a second and back to the clear sky. "Ugh, did you say something" I heard him asking. "No, it's nothing" "Right, so I want you to come into the town, because I missed my favorite cousin and you need to finish the job and not that kind of work that you are about to do right now" "Derek, I don't know…" Before I could finish he cut me. "Yes, you really do… Sit at the next plane, I will be waiting, bye." Before I could say anything else he finished the call.
I slowly put the phone down on the table "Great," I said, rubbing my head. Don't get me wrong, I loved and missed my cousin, but it was hard. It was just difficult to go there, even if I won't even meet her in that huge town. The thing that we will be in the same city, was just too much and at the same time so less to me.
I couldn't believe it was happening, that I was really doing it. It seemed so crazy, maybe even selfish, but it felt so right and for the first time in while it was the thing I really wanted.
I was 7 am and I was walking down the path towards my flight gates. The airport was already full of people. As I finally reached it I sat on the one of the chairs. I heard my phone rang.
"Hey Jason". "Ali, there are you?" he said in his still husky morning voice, but then the woman's voice come up alerting the people that in five minutes the gate 5 will be ready to welcome passengers. "Oh, you are really going there," he said. "I am, I don't know why?" I somehow could feel him smiling through the phone. "I know that you know. Ali, you are doing a right thing. Don't doubt that." It was silence. "Just remember what I said to you the other night, okay?" "Okay," I said smiling, remembering the conversation. It was a couple of comfortable seconds of silence. "You know you could have asked me to drive you in the airport". "I know, but I wanted to think some things through and didn't want to bother you" I heard he chuckled "Come on, Ali you would never bother me." I smiled at his words. I heard how the voice came up once more announcing that the gates are open for passengers. "I have to go now" "I know, have fun Ali!" "Thank you, you too" He chuckled "I will miss you," I smiled. "I will too, bye".
So now you stand here. In front of this person, your heart was so long waiting for. The person who is also holding his breath, clenching his hands so hard that he will stand still, trying to control his heart. You stand in front of another heart. Heart who has finally broke free, heart that only could belong to you.
Even if that cold frozen mask hides it all and you can't see the truth. Your heart knows. Those those two hearts were waiting so long to finally belong to one another again.
I don't know how long I was looking at her, how many thoughts ran through my mind, how I was still managing to stand still in the same spot. Maybe because the thought of her standing in front of me made me freeze, not only from the fear of seeing her, but also from desire.
"Alison, I just wanted to introduce you to my friends," said Derek as he pointed at the stunning brunette and handsome man near her. "This is Dominic and…" before he could say anything else, I cut him. "Emily" my lips escaped the words before I could catch it. Derek's and Dominic's face spread surprise and confusion. But all this time Emily's eyes never left mine. We were looking at each other not believing this was real and happening.
She looked a little different. Still, as stunning as I remembered, even more beautiful if that was even possible. But she seemed stronger, not only her body, you could feel how her body was using the confidence and strength trying to defend himself from the people who causes pain. But in those chocolate brown eye's even if she tried to cover it you could still see this warm and care.
You know, it was hard to just stand there. All I wanted was to run and hug her and never let go. Tell her everything, for her to tell me everything no matter how painful and hateful it be, because maybe even with a slight chance for something good.
"Hi Alison" I felt how my body relaxed as I heard her voice. This sweet, soft voice. "Hey Emily". At the side of my eye I saw how Derek glanced at me, when back to Emily and when he was about to ask something, we heard someones phone rang.
Not breaking an eye contact Emily slowly pulled her phone from the back pocket of her black jeans. She glanced at the phone, then at Derek for a second and back to me. "I am sorry I have to take this," she said like apologizing that she needed to break the eye contact. Everybody nodded.
I followed every Emily's move as I hear Dominic say. "So, you are Alison,"I looked at him "Yeah, it's nice to meet you, Dominic,". "Oh, call me Dom" he smiled a little, "You know Emily, right?" I kept glancing back to Emily, 'Who she could be talking to, about what?' "Yeah, I know her for a really long time." Dominic nodded. "Well, then it's even better. As I was planning I wanted to invite you Derek" he looked at the cousin. "To our Friday barbecue night" and then back to me "And we will love if you will join us Alison," At this moment Emily ended her call and went back to the group connecting her eyes again with Alison. "What do you think Emily?" said Dominic looking at her, brunette glanced at him confused, "Should Alison join us on Friday night?" Emily looked back at me, if I didn't know her so well, I wouldn't noticed, but for a second on her face appeared a surprise, but she quickly covered it, she genuinely smiled and said "You should, you really do" I stood there frozen for a moment. "Well, then I will," I smiled back at her.
Emily leaned towards Dominic and whispered him something. Dominic's face didn't change. "Already?" he just asked and Emily nodded. "Okay, it was good to see you Derek, but we have to go now. I will send someone to pick the detail later. Of course, it was nice to meet you Alison and we will see you on Friday night," he said and smiled slightly," Derek nodded. "It was so nice to meet you too Dominic. See you soon Emily" I said. "See you soon Alion" said Emily looking at me one more time before heading out of the garage.
And now, standing here, all I could think of was 'Than I will see Emily again?' and I knew the answer 'Friday night'.
