Alison POV:
I continue to have platonic conversations with people here and there, while glancing over to Emily every few minutes. The girls over there gawking over her as she speaks and I can't help but roll my eyes. Something doesn't feel right here— I can't help the gnawing feeling I have in the pit of my stomach.
I glance over briefly, seeing the brunette go to sit down when someone walks up to them; Emily looking like she just saw a ghost. I tilt my head more to examine what's happening. The girl now with her hands wrapped around my Emilys waist, hugging her a little bit too long and too tight- she pulls Emily's hand to guide her somewhere private I'm sure.
My blood starts to boil as I take large sips of the drink in my hand- nodding to pretend that I'm listening to the group conversation being held around me. I finish my drink off, giving me an excuse to dismiss myself from the group. I maneuver through the crowd of people towards the direction Emily and the girl went.
Emily POV:
My mind is racing and my heart feels like it just fell out of my ass, not being able to function or comprehend what's actually going on right now. She guides me to a private room in the back of the club, ushering me in as she closes the door behind us. "Emily.." She says as her eyes rake the length of my body. "You've gotten even more beautiful." She adds, walking over to me and grabbing my hands.
I stand there dumbfounded; not having the power to move or speak. My body finally jolts back to life when she grabs ahold of my hands. I snatch them from her grasp as if I had just come in contact with a burning stove. "What's wrong?" She goes to reach for me again but I back away, staring at her in disbelief.
"This cannot be happening right now. It can't." I say as my hands ball up into tight fists, suppressing myself from completely blowing up. "Em, aren't you happy to see me?" Her faces drops in disappointment. "Don't...don't call me Em. I-I..don't even know what to say to you." I look away from her in disbelief, trying to find the right words to say, but my mind just comes up blank.
Alison POV:
I follow them to the back of the club, my skin starts to crawl as I see them walk into a private room. "What the fuck.." I mumble under my breath. I wait a few minutes before walking up to the door, banging on it furiously. Seconds later the door flies open, a girl with dark hair and skin a shade tanner than Emily's stares at me in shock.
"Alison?" She asks in utter shock and confusion. "What the hell is going on?" I question her with a bewildered look on my face. "Where's Emily?" I push my way past the girl to see Emily standing there with a furious expression painted across her face. "Baby, what's going on? Are you okay?" I ask as I walk over to Emily, grabbing her face to look at me.
"Baby?" The girl repeats me annoyed in a questioning tone. "Yeah baby. She's my girlfriend now!" I spit out, narrowing my eyes at her.
Emily POV:
I just stand there, staring between the two girls trying to catch up with the chaos swirling around me. How does Alison know who Maya is?—I never talked about Maya with her. And how is Maya not dead?! I snap back to reality, the girls still going at it.
"STOP!...stop. Please, just stop yelling." I yell, my hands finding my temples, rubbing them to soothe the full, aching pain starting to form in my head.
"Alison, sit." I say with my eyes closed as I tend to my now throbbing headache. "NOW." I demand, opening my eyes, throwing daggers at her. She looks at me in shock before sitting down quickly, crossing her arms tightly over her chest.
I sigh looking at Maya, motioning for her to sit down as well. I wait for her to take a seat— pacing the room before speaking, "I'm gonna ask all my questions, and you're gonna answer them. And with complete honesty, okay?!" I ask, staring at the both of them with a fierceness the old Emily would have never dared to use.
They both nod rapidly, agreeing to my statement. "Okay, you better have a good ass explanation for all of this Maya. Cause I'm getting really sick and tired of all this shit happening to me...us— lately." I say as my eyes flicker to Alison quickly before I start to pace the room again, not being able to tame the pent up anger and frustration bubbling within me.
I come to a stop, setting my hands on my hips as I stare at the girls in front of me. "Okay, how do you guys know each other.." I ask slowly, darting my eyes between the both of them.
General POV:
"We met a few summers ago while I was at my grandmas house." Alison says as she stares into Emily's eyes. Emily looks over to Maya, waiting for her to add her side.
"We became friends because of our grandparents. I was visiting them in Georgia the same time Alison was, and our grandparents had us hang out. And...yea" Maya says shifting her eyes to glance at Alison before directing her eyes back to Emily.
"So you knew Alison, this whole time?" Emily asks in disbelief, her eyes wide as her temper starts to brim. Maya nods her head as she looks down at her nails in shame.
Emily scoffs, throwing her hands up, resting them on her head as she stares up at the ceiling. Her jaw clenches as she tries putting things together—her head quickly snaps back to Maya, "You knew who I was before you moved to Rosewood didn't you? YOU KNEW!" Emily yells through gritted teeth as she charges toward Maya.
Alison lunges forward off the couch, grabbing ahold of Emily—her body blocking Maya as Emily tries to push her way to her. Pointing her finger Emily continues, "I trusted you Maya. You told me you had no idea who she was... You live din her house!" Emily's voice breaks as she yells at her. " I poured my heart out to you and you knew she was still alive huh?!"
Maya quickly stands up, finally opening her mouth to speak.
"It's not what it looks like, Em." She says desperately. "Ali...Alison- she wanted me to look after you." Maya states, looking between Alison and Emily. "Oh yeah, that sounds all too familiar." She says, in reference to Shana— moving herself from Alison's grasp.
"Em, please just relax." Alison says reaching her hand up to Emily's burning face, only to have her swat her hand away. "Don't touch me right now Alison." She says backing away from her.
"And you made me believe that you actually loved me...it was all a lie?" Emily stares at Maya, her eyes blurry with unshed tears. "That was never a lie Emily. I didn't expect to fall for you— I never intended to hurt you." Maya says walking up to Emily to grab her hands.
Alison quickly interjects, "Yeah, none of that was supposed to happen. You were supposed to keep an eye on her, not get in her damn pants." She spits out venomously as she swats Maya's hands from Emily's.
The shorter brunette sends daggers at Alison as she turns her body to face the blonde. "I can't help who I have feelings for. Maybe you shouldn't have been such a coward and 'died'. Maybe you should have had the balls to actually tell Emily how you really felt. Maybe then we wouldn't have been in each other's pants while you sat back and watched it all happen like the pussy you are."
Emily looks to Alison in shock, afraid of what might happen next. But it all happens in a flash— Alison's fist goes flying to Maya's face, causing the brunette to go flying back onto the couch, as she tries getting back up, Alison pushes her down again— getting on top of the girl. Emily intervenes before it escalates into something much bigger, grabbing Alison by the waist as she peels her off of Maya.
"You're one to fucking talk! You should be dead right now! What's your story?!" Alison yells as Emily encircles her arms firmly around the blondes waist to tame her.
Maya gets off the couch trying to lung at her— Emily quickly places her hand on her chest to push her back. All the upper body strength from swimming coming in handy right now as she tries keeping both of the girls at bay.
"Same reason as you...there's people out there that wanted me dead." Maya says as she grits her teeth, pushing Emily's hand off her chest. Emily looks down at the mention of that, her mind drifting to Nate before snapping back.
Alison scoffs, crossing her arms. "Yea nice excuse Maya. Real fucking original." Maya lunges forward again, swatting her hands at Alison, her hand coming in contact with her cheek. The blonde then freeing herself from Emily as she stares at Maya with an incredulous look. "He should've killed you when he had the chance." Maya spits out, grabbing her bag and storming towards the door.
"Who should've killed me?!" Alison questions, confusion and rage laced in as she speaks. Maya turns her head, shooting a sardonic smile, "I think we both know you know who. Tell your little 'boyfriend' I said hello when he's released." She lifts her head and struts back into the oblivious crowd of people below us—leaving Emily and I in a state of pure confusion. My face is drained with color for the umpteenth time— as everything suddenly dawns on me.
