Chapter 14
Sorry it's been awhile guys but I promise I'll be back to update more often than before!
"So when did the abuse start?"
"Spencer I told you I don't want to talk about this!"
Emily stops and turns around, "okay…"
"Okay what where are you going?" Alison grabs her arm and stops her.
"I'm going to as Lorenzo when it happened because when I got back from camp you said you weren't with him anymore."
"I wasn't at that time; we took like a day break and then got back together."
"Why?"
"Because he does love me."
Emily can't hold it in anymore; how much brain washing has this guy done to a girl that she knew was stronger and smarter than any other person she's ever met? "Are you serious Alison?" She taps her shoulder that causes her to wince in pain…"that is his fault. The bruises and scars he's caused is his fault and the Alison I knew wouldn't take any of that."
"Yeah well the Alison you knew is dead."
Emily once again stops walking. Dead. There was a time she thought she was dead and she came back a different person and here it is happening again. "No she's not and you know how I know that? Because I can still see her in your eyes and in your smile. I can still hear her in your voice and yes she sounds a little broken, but nothing that can't be fixed if you let us help."
"You guys don't get it do you? He's a detective and very highly looked up to; no one is going to believe me or you or even you Spencer even with your degrees. He's very good with his words and no one would believe he would hit me."
"But you have the bruises."
"Yeah and your point?"
"You don't get it," Emily walks away from them as Spencer just looks at Alison shaking her head.
"What is she so upset about?"
"Are you serious?"
"Emily wait…" she runs after to catch up and finally does when Emily stops in the middle of the street.
"What Alison…what do you want?"
"I love you too Em…I do but you don't…."
"Get it? Understand it? I get that part, but what you don't get is that we never talked about anything and that maybe if we did we would be together…or at least closer friends. I love you Ali…you were my first love and I wouldn't want to exchange that for anyone, but you can be so frustrating."
"And you can't be? You kissed me back you know? I kissed you yes I did, but you kissed me back so what does that mean?"
"Old habits Ali."
"Die hard?"
"Spencer can you give us a minute?"
"Oh yeah totally I mean why not!" Walking away she shakes her head and rolls her eyes.
"Ali we are in the middle of the street so I don't think now is the time to have our heart to heart, but yes…old habits die hard. Why do you think I kissed you back besides the obvious? I love Devon, but you know…she's probably the love of my life, but you…you're my soulmate Ali I strongly believe that. No one could ever replace you in my heart, but they can fill that void."
"Is that what she's doing?"
"Is that what Lorenzo's doing?"
Is it? They're standing in the middle of the street staring at each other not knowing what to say next. Are they both with their significant others because they're not with each other? Spencer walks up to them making them wonder this a little bit more. "Sorry to interrupt but…"
"Hey guys do you mind if I steal Alison away? Since I'm not going to see her for a few days I would really like to spend as much time as I can with her now?" Seeing the look on Emily's face he knows something's up. "Emily are you okay?"
"Yeah I just had a moment…thinking about being oversees."
"Maybe you should see someone?"
"Was thinking about it." Slightly smiling she feels her fists clinch as Alison gets in the car. "Bye guys!"
"Good cover up."
"I've had a lot of practice."
"Where are you going?"
"Home…I have a fiancé waiting for me."
"Hey Hanna!" Aria moves to the side as Hanna welcomes herself in.
"So I'm going to make this short and sweet to fill you in; Emily and Alison have kissed since they've been back and Emily is getting married after homecoming."
"What?"
"Yeah…can I tell you something though…I don't think they're going to get married."
"They have a lot of stuff to talk about so I don't think they'll get married in a month, but I think they'll still do it."
"Why?"
"Emily's smarter than that; to fall back into Alison's tricks and mind play…she's been through that and I didn't work out for her then so why should it now?"
"I don't know but I don't like it so…"
"So…" and then she sees it. "No."
"No what?"
"I know that Hanna face and I'm not doing it?"
"What face and doing what?"
"You want me to spy on them and take pictures."
"Can you see inside my head or…"
"See; no I'm not doing it. We are adults now and I'm not going to go backwards to when we were kids again and spy."
"Think about it…that's all I'm going to say."
"And what are you going to do?"
"Make her dress…and when she realizes she's not going to get married…use it as my own!"
