Fall Out

By the time Monday final rolled around Alison was going crazy, she had been trying to get a hold of Emily all weekend. She was about to go over to her house and check on her but she didn't want to be pushy or seem overbearing. She figured she was probably busy studying for their big French test that they had today. When she made it to class she sat nervously tapping her pen waiting for the familiar brunettes beautiful face to come through the door. She was about to bolt out the door when the teacher came in and started passing out the exams.

Later on while get her books for her next class she sees Ben walking down the hall in her direction. She takes a deep breath and grabs his arm as he passes. "Hey, have you talked to Em?" She asks in concern.

"We had dinner Friday and a bit of fun!" He says with a grin. "I haven't seen her since."

Alison had a bad feeling as she looks at his smug face. He walks away before adding, "Be careful that she doesn't go all lez on you." He says in a barely audible whisper.

She yells at him as he walks off, "What is that suppose to mean?"

He just laughed as he walks off around the corner.

As she enters the quad at lunch she was desperately hoping that Em would be there and just decided to skip a few classes. She sees Hanna, Aria, and Spencer at one of the tables and joins them.

"Hey Ali!" Aria says with her usual sunny disposition

"Ali! Can you back me up on this…" Hanna starts to say when she notices the look of pure panic on Alison face.

"What's going on Ali?" Spencer asks as she starts to feel uneasy.

"Have any of you heard from Emily since Friday?" She asks in a rush.

They all shake their heads as Spencer asks, "Why do you think some things wrong?"

"I don't know… I just…" Alison says shaking her head, she wasn't sure if she should tell them about the strange text she got or not. As she is thinking what to say all their phones buzz with messages.

Does Emily have a Romeo in the future or a Juliet?

~Anonyms

They all look at each other for a brief moment before Alison speaks up. "I got another strange message Friday evening from this Anonyms person, have any of you received anything else like this?" She asks confused.

"No I haven't." Spencer says as she pieces a few things together in her head.

"I haven't either, what is it suppose to mean?" Aria says looking confused.

"What other message did you get Alison?" Hanna asks looking at her worriedly.

"I-I didn't think anything of it at first but… now!" She says as she holds out her phone and Aria grabs it.

She gasps as she reads, "Children get cuts and bruises when they fall, what's Emily's excuse?… Anonyms"

"Did you go check on her or anything?" Hanna asks fear rising in her voice.

"No… I called her and sent her a bunch of texts but nothing! I thought she was busy studying…" Alison says as her mind goes a mile a minute with what ifs.

"After school we need to go check on her… maybe it is just someone messing with us." Hanna says trying not to panic.

"I don't know if I can wait that long…" Alison says fidgeting.

"I think we should ALL go together after last period!" Spencer tells the other three but focusing mostly on Alison. "We have three more classes and we will go."

"Fine!" Alison says as she picks up her untouched lunch and throws it away on her way to English class.

After what felt like an eternity they meet out in front of the school, Aria and Hanna decided to drive over together as Hanna lost her car privileges again after missing curfew. Spencer offered to drive Alison since she didn't have her licenses yet and they would all meet in front of the Fields.

As they pull up and meet up, Alison receives another message and notices it's a video, all three look at her worriedly as she opens it. It looks like it was shot from a camera sitting on a closet shelf because of the horizontal slates. It's dark and hard to make out much, they can hear the sound of Emily crying out and see as someone holds her down and shoves something into her mouth to quite her. Alison stumbles away pale, "Sh-Shut it off…" She says as Spencer holds her phone. "Fucking SHUT it off!" She screams as her stomach lurches.

Aria starts to cry as it sinks in what they had just witnessed and Hanna is in complete shock. Spencer fumbles with the phone trying to turn it off as they hear Emily's whimpers. She catches site of Alison running to the porch and she follows. As they all make it to the porch Alison pulls the spare key from one of the pots as her fingers shake.

"Let me." Spencer says as she takes the keys from Alison's trembling hands and unlocks the door.

Alison is the first one up the stairs and she pauses at Emily's door as she takes a deep breath preparing herself for what she will find on the other side of the door. When she opens it she finds Emily curled in the fetal position looking so small as she sleeps. The others enter right behind her as Alison moves toward the bed and gently touches Emily's arm, Emily pops up in bed her eyes terrified as she takes in her surroundings. She pulls up the blanket covering herself as Alison looks at her. "Em…" She says as tears prick at her eyes.

"We know… what happened."Spencer tells her trying to hold back her tears.

"I-I don't… know what you are t-talking about." Emily stutters out in a gruff voice.

All four of girls look at Emily in concern and Alison reaches out slowly to take Emily's hand. "It was Ben wasn't it." She says as more of a statement than a question.

Tears start to stream down Emily's face as she looks away in shame and tries to back away from Alison. She pulls Emily to her and holds her as she cries out and sobs rack her frame. Alison notices that there are small bits of blood on her white tank top.

Spencer notices the blood as well as Alison holds Emily. "Em… we need to look you over and see if you are still bleeding." Spencer says softly.

Emily eases out of Alison arms as she looks at her four friends with wide petrified eyes. She scoots back and takes the tank top off and quickly covers herself. Alison gently pulls back the blanket and all four girls gasp. Emily is wearing a sports bra but there are multiple cuts both small and long all over her skin as well as many angry looking bruises.

"Em… I'm so sorry…" Aria says as she feels terrible that this happened to sweet brunette.

"Are you… hurt anywhere else?" Spencer asks afraid to hear the answer.

Emily hangs her head afraid to make eye contact with the others. Alison scoots closer to her and pulls her chin up so she is looking into Emily's brown eyes. She asks her gently, "Will you please let me look? I can have the others wait outside… if you'd like?" Just loud enough for Emily to hear.

Emily looks at her lost for a few seconds but then nods her head in agreement. Alison turns to the other three and asks, "Can you all give us a few minutes… please?" She asks beseechingly.

Aria and Spencer turn and walk out as Hanna looks over at Emily. "If you need anything we are down the hall." She says tears escaping her eyes as she follows Aria and Spencer.

As Hanna closes the door behind her, Emily becomes shy again and folds her arms over herself protectively. Alison looks at her, waiting for Em's eyes to meet hers, "Em, we use to take bathes together when we were younger." She tells her tenderly. Emily pulls into herself more and blushes. "Emily Fields look at Ali, me ! You know I would never judge you ever! Now please let me see."

Emily nods at her as she slowly uncrosses her arms and turns so Alison good unclasp her bra. Alison cautiously undoes it and carefully removes it. Emily turns around gingerly her eyes focused on the bed. Alison takes a shuddering breath as she sees teeth marks marring Emily's beautiful tan skin. One particular bite didn't look so good and Alison was worried. "Em?" She says trying not to spook her, "please look at me."

Tumultuous brown eyes locked with her blues as Alison reached out, "Can I touch you? Please?" She asks her hand stopping a few inches from her.

A tear escapes Em's eyes as she says in a shaky voice, "Y-yes…"

Alison gently runs her fingers over the bite mark and it feels hot to the touch. "I hate to ask… what about," she looks down at Emily's lower body, "anywhere else that you are hurt?"

Emily won't look at her and Alison pulls the blanket back and she sees dried blood on the boxers she's wearing and on the sheets. "Em…" Alison says in a whisper.

Emily starts to shake and curl into herself as she sobs uncontrollable. Alison tries to reach out to touch her but Emily has a spooked wild look in her eyes and she crawls back against her headboard and yells, "D-Don't touch me!"

Tears slide down Alison eyes as she hears the other three girls run up the stairs and burst in the door. Hanna looks at Alison who is barely keeping it together and she puts her arm around her comfortingly. Spencer walks to the head of the bed and squats down next to Emily. "Hey, Em. It's Spencer." She tells her not daring to touch her.

Emily looks up at her, "Sp-Spence?" She mumbles.

"Yeah." She says smiling at her. "I think we need to take you to the hospital to get looked over, is that okay?" She asks kindly.

"O-Okay." She says looking at the others around her.

"Do you want us to leave so you can get dressed?" Spencer asks looking into her eyes in concern.

Emily nervously looks around and her eyes stopped on Alison, her brown eyes trying to say what she can't.

Aria speaks up, "Do you want Ali to stay?" She says trying to help.

Emily nods her head before ducking her head shyly. Spencer watches the exchange as her gut feeling seems to be true, Emily has feeling for Alison. And it would seem that Alison also has some type of feelings for Em. "Alright we will be waiting for you down stairs." She says as she stands up.

As the girls head down the stairs Alison grabs Emily a clean tee and her Sharks hoodie, some underwear and a pair of sweatpants. Emily puts her legs over the side of the bed and slides the boxers off. Alison slides her underwear and pants up her legs as she sees some deep looking cuts on her legs, she takes the pants and underwear back off. "Em…" She waits as Emily looks at her, "I need to bandage these they are still bleeding a little." Alison says trying to keep her voice calm it wouldn't do any good to lose it right now.

Emily looks away embarrassed, "Ok-Okay." She says her voice wavering.

Alison makes her way out of Emily's room and walks into the bathroom in the hall and bends down to get the first aid kit out from under the sink. Tears roll down her cheeks as she stands, she sets the box on the counter and splash cold water on her face. As she collects herself, she grabs the first aid kit and a towel before she walks back into Emily's room closing the door behind her.

She hands Emily the towel, "Here so you can cover yourself." She says in a gentle tone.

Emily covers her most intimate parts with the towel and relaxes a little as Alison sits on the floor. She opens the box and takes out some wipes and gently cleans Emily's inner thighs and Emily hiss a bit. "S-Sorry sweetie." She says as she finishes up.

She finds some gauze pads and put it on her thigh and puts some tape to hold it in place and does the same on the other side. As she finishes she looks up at Emily who is hiding behind her hair, "Can I help you put your pants back on?"

Emily nods as she moves the towel and Alison sees some dried blood down there as well. She tries to stay calm for Emily as she slides her underwear and pants up her legs. She helps Emily stand and she finishes pulling them up, and Em puts her arms up so Alison could pull on the tee and hoodie. "Y-You must th-think I am so weak…" Emily says in shame.

"Emily… you are one of the strongest people I know." Alison says as Emily's chocolate eyes meet hers. "You know I love you…. and so do the girls!" She adds mental kicking herself.

Emily grabs Alison hand tightly as Alison leads her down the hall and helps her down the stairs to join the girls.

They decide that Alison and Spencer should go to the hospital with Emily as they all didn't need to go and Emily wouldn't let go of her death grip on Alison. Spencer promises to text them as soon as they have any news.
