Emily POV.
My phone vibrates throughout the movie so I cover for checking the messages by saying I'm making popcorn. I don't know why I did it but if it was something upsetting Ali would want to know and I wasn't prepared to watch her break down again. Seeing her cry is like watching a puppy be kicked. So I slip my phone into my back pocket and head downstairs to make some popcorn for Ali.
Checking my text messages I see 2 from my mom checking in on me, 1 from Aria apologizing for lunch. Typical, aria cared the most out of the group and was the most accepting one. Hanna was more blunt and Spencer was just brutel when she disagreed with you. I shove the popcorn in the microwave and continue to go through my text messages. 3 from Spencer and Hanna I just deleted before even reading them. Finally 4 from Paige. I don't know why but I chose to open them.
-Em, why did you leave school?-
-Em, the girls are worried about you and so am I. Text me back-
-Emily text me back. I love you-
-Emily, I seriously think you need to reconsider your relationship with Alison. She is toxic and the girls are just looking out for you. We need to talk tonight.-
I read her text messages over and over again, each time seeing a new shade of red. I decide to not reply and to just go see her tomorrow at school sometime. Walking back upstairs once the popcorn is done, we finish finding nemo and a bunch of other movies until about 10 when I mention how tired I am.
"Yea so am I." Alison agrees and after another 20 minutes were sleeping side by each. I wrap my arms around Ali's waist and pull her in close. As close as I can bring her, spooning her. "I love you Ali." I tell her.
"I love you too Em." She replies back. I doze off shortly after and wake up again to another alarm. Getting up I shut it off and think to myself, Thursday. Today is the day were we tell Alison's dad about us. The day were I tell Paige to back the hell off because Alison is my forever and always. The day where I tell the girls that I appreciate their concern, but I am not 15 anymore and that I trust Alison. If Aria, Spencer, Hanna don't accept that then they will have to learn to deal with it because Ali is who I want to be with no matter what. I go start my morning school routine and get Alison up earlier then 90% of the time. We get into my car early and drive to a parking lot a bit of a walk from school. Grabbing her hand she looks at me and smile but her hand is shaking.
"Hey, don't be nervous. Whatever happens today I love you and I am in your corner. Don't forget that ok." She smiles and then smirks.
"Just when I think I can't love you even more then I do now, you surprise me." She hops out of the car, runs over to my door before I comprehend what is happening and opens my door for me.
"And they say chivalry is dead." I state before I plant myself on the ground beside her. She closes the car door behind me and grabs my hand.
"Well only the best for you and the best involves being a gentlewoman."
"A gentlewoman?" I question.
"Yes I'm not a man as you probably have guessed so I'm gonna be a gentlewoman for you." We take our time walking to school because of how early we are and once we enter, Ali and I part way's. She had to get some help on a certain subject so I watched her run down the hall towards the classes teacher. I open my locker and just as I finish putting my books in it, my locker door is slammed shut in my face. I turn around, about to yell at whoever thought slamming locker doors was ok, when I come face to face with Paige. Rolling my eye's I back up slightly, crossing my arm's and prepare myself for whatever long ass speach she has to say.
"What the fuck are you doing with her? I get from the conversation on Saturday we had, you obviously still like her but seriously. I am mainly here for 2 reason's. Reason 1 is because the girls are worried about you and for good reason. Have you just suddenly forgotten who she is? What her nature is? Well let me remind you, it is to destroy people until they are nothing. Next reason is because I still love you. She doesn't deserve you at all. She doesn't deserve a second of your time never mind being your girlfriend. At least I didn't hurt you like she ha-" I hold up my hand and shut Paige up.
"Haven't hurt me! Are you freaking crazy Paige, are you insane! You tried to drown me, you controlled my life for almost 2 years, you even blackmailed me when you found out Ali was alive and needed money. And even after that you broke promise after promise after promise. And not to mention you punched my girlfriend, what by the way, she still has a black-eye. You have hurt me plenty so don't blame Alison for losing me. You lost me a long time ago. Also, if the girls were so concerned about me, they wouldn't send my ex-girlfriend to sort out their problems with Alison. I was civil Saturday night but today I'm not. You need to butt out of my life. That means no calls, no text messages, no talking to me or Alison. Now let me past." I state as Paige attempts to block my path to my next class.
"No." She replies clearly.
"Paige seriously move." I growl back and what she does next surprises everybody in the hall especially me. She kisses me and I freeze because it feels foreign to feel her lips against mine. They are cold and hard and needing unlike Ali's. I push her back after a couple seconds and push her out of my way to the next class. I faintly hear Paige scream back at me something about how we weren't over but I just flip her off. The periods of the day fly by and when lunch comes around, I walk up behind Ali. Wrapping my arms around her torso as she grabs stuff for the next few classes from her locker. She shrugs me off and I connect the dots. She knows about Paige kissing me. Leaning against a locker next to her's I faintly hear Ali ask, "did you like it when she kissed you?"
"Not even a tiny bit. It frankly was gross and rough and surprising. Who told you that I kissed her?"
"A told me," she said passing me her phone. The text had a photo of Paige kissing me in the hallway earlier and read { look like she has found somebody else to kiss. I bet she liked it too. Kisses-A. } I hand back Ali her phone and grab her hand.
"Babe, she pretty much attacked me at my locker. I do not like her like that or even as a friend. I only love you and you have to believe me."
"I do believe you Em, I was just wondering." She looks up to me and we walk out to a picnic bench for lunch. The rest of the day zooms by without any other disturbance's. When the time comes that diner with Alison's dad comes around though, Ali is a ball of nerves. I went home before supper to change into more appropriate attire because even if I have eaten over there before with her dad, it has only been when Ali was just my friend. I chose a simple blue dress and some flashy earrings. Slipping on my flats, I text Alison for the 27th time that whatever happened it would all work out in the end. I jump into my car and drive over to her house. She opens the door before I even knock and wow, does she look stunning. She wears a pair of silver twist flats and a white sundress that complements her natural eye-shadow.
"You look-" she starts and I finish her sentence.
"Stunning." We both stare at eachother for a couple seconds before we hear her dad yell at us from the kitchen to come inside. I walk in and see that she has made a fancy pasta dish.
"Hello ." I say respectfully.
"Hello Emily." He states back with a slight edge. I have no idea why but he looks upset so I decide to sit down and stay quiet. This is going to be a long night.
