Hi again, let's start this 2018 with a sweet mini story, I hope you like it, and like always, thank you if you had the time to leave a review! Have a great day!
NOTE: This shot has nothing to do with PLL plot; Spencer, Hanna, Emily and Aria are friends, they don't know Alison, just Spencer since they're family…
Let it Be – Part I
(In a bar in NY, Hanna's bachelor party)
Spencer. – "I can't believe that you're the 1st getting married…"
Hanna. – "What does that mean?!"
(Chuckles)
Emily sighs heavy as they start talking about marriage…
Aria looked at Emily and said. – "Something wrong Em…?"
Emily shyly shakes her head and gets a sip of her drink, she forces a smile in her face, actually she hasn't been feeling okay, she has been feeling this abdominal pain, but she doesn't have medical care, so she hasn't been able to visit a doctor…
Emily. – "I'm okay…"
The smile looks not genuine, but the girls don't notice it…
Spencer. – "So how are the stuffs working out with you and Paige?"
Hanna says with a sarcastic tone. – "Yeah, how's it going with your "better half"?"
Emily sighs. – "We broke up… again…"
Hanna. – "And this is like the 10th or 12th time?"
Aria play-fully hits Hanna's arm. – "Hanna!"
Hanna shrugs. – "What?! It's very difficult to keep the count…"
Emily. – "It's ok Ar… Hanna is right… that relationship has been more complicated of what I thought…"
Spencer. – "So are you not going to give it another try?"
Emily shakes her head. – "No… this is definitely the end between she and me…"
Hanna stands up her glass and says. – "Well I toast for that! Really Em, you deserve to be with someone that hasn't drowned you!"
Emily rolls her eyes. – "She didn't drown me…"
Hanna. – "She tried to do it…"
Emily rolls her eyes and Spencer decides to change the subject…
Spencer looks at her watch and says. – "She's late…"
Aria. – "I'm so excited to finally meet your cousin…"
Hanna. – "Well, where the hell is she?! I want to get wasted!"
Spencer. – "Hanna, calm down… she's just flying from Paris; she's new in the city so be nice with her okay…"
The girls nod and then, Spencer waves her hand to a familiar face…
Spencer. – "Talking about the Devil…" (She yells) "Hey Ali! Over here!"
Emily turns her head towards the blonde and it was like the world just stopped… like nothing was moving… Emily was speechless… looking at the blonde… at the blonde rushing towards them, looking so damn gorgeous. The blonde says her hellos to each girl and when she tries to say hello to Emily; the brunette feels a huge pain and rushes towards the bathroom…
Alison asks. – "Is she okay…?"
Hanna. – "Yeah… maybe she ate a lot of tacos… she loves trash food…"
Alison raises an eye brow, still feeling not convinced with Hanna's argument but she decides to let it go.
Hanna. – "Ok bitches! Time to drink!" (She points out towards Alison and says) "You're late so you pay the 1st round!"
Spencer scolds. – "Hanna!"
Alison. – "It's okay Spencer, I was really late…"
Emily comes back from the bathroom and her friends are already in the dancing floor, just the blonde stood in the table, waiting for her…
Alison asks. – "Are you okay?"
Emily forces a smile. – "Yeah…"
Alison decides to believe it, but she keeps an eye on her, she's not convinced. The night continues, and drinks arrive, one after another, they were having a great moment together. Alison happily talks about Paris and Emily smiles seeing the glowing on Alison's eyes; the brunette closes her eyes and she can picture all the places that Alison was describing, and it was beautiful.
Emily. – "Do you have some pictures? I always wanted to visit Paris…"
Alison. – "Sure…" (She unlocks her phone and gives it to Emily) "Here… there are also some videos, too…"
Emily sits comfortably and looks at the huge album of photos that Alison had… the girls stood up for dancing, all of them at exception of Emily who decided to stay sit… because she was really enjoying just watching each picture. She was delighted by the photos till she feels a huge pain again. She drops Alison's phone in the floor and curls by the pain. Alison notices it and rushes towards her…
Alison. – "You're not okay…"
Emily tries to force again an 'I'm okay' but the pain is too strong that she loses conscious. Everything became blurry since that moment; she remembers her friends panicking, she remembers the paramedics arriving and must of all, she remembers the blonde who never left her side…
(In the ambulance)
Alison is holding Emily's hand, she was the one who was less drunk to get with the paramedics. She really doesn't know very well the girl who's lying down there, in pain but for some reason, she can't support the idea of seeing Emily in pain…
Emily mumbles. – "I can't go to a hospital…"
Alison. – "What?! You're saying nonsense… you need a doctor…"
Emily. – "I… I can't pay for it… please… don't… I can't have more debts…"
The brunette closes her eyes and Alison just sighs hard, looking at the girl in pain.
(In the hospital)
Emily opens her eyes, she feels dizzy but still with a little of pain…
The doctor. – "Miss Fields, how do you feel?"
Emily mumbles. – "Like dying…"
The doctor chuckles. – "Yeah… well, you have a very nasty hernia and we need to repair it… I'm glad you're awake, we didn't find your medical care's info with you… could you please give it to us, we need to operate as soon as possible…"
Emily gulps hard, she's in pain but she's financially broken to pay medical bills; she feels hopeless till someone rushes inside the hospital room where she's. Emily and the doctor raises an eye brow as they can't understand what is happening. The doctor looks at the blonde who's trying to catch her breath after all the running…
The doctor. – "Wha…?"
Alison cuts him off and pushes him outside the room. – "We need a moment…"
The blonde closes the door and she walks towards Emily; the brunette just raises an eye brow as she stares at Alison and the man who was standing beside her…
Emily. – "What is happening? Who is he?"
Alison. – "He's a pastor… I found him in the hospital and dragged him here…."
Emily. – "Why?"
The pastor. – "To marry you, my child…"
Emily. – "To what?!"
The pastor notices the confused look of Emily and he tries to ask something, but Alison doesn't let him…
Alison. – "We don't have time to argue… let's get this done…"
The blonde glances at the pastor with this look she has, and the old man just gulps hard and decides to don't argue with the blonde; he was doing his speech when the girls discuss between them…
Emily mumbles. – "What the hell is happening…?"
Alison smirks as she interlaces her hand with Emily. – "We're getting marry… I think it's obvious…"
Emily. – "But why?!"
Alison. – "Look, you need medical care, I've a great medical insurance because of my work, so…"
Emily tries to say something, but she curls in the bed with pain…
Alison orders. – "Ok, pastor, let's get to the point! Like right now!"
Pastor nods. – "Ok, so you…"
Alison. – "Alison… my name is Alison Lauren DiLaurentis…"
Pastor. – "Oh, okay, so Alison Lauren DiLaurentis do you accept…"
Alison cuts him off. – "I do! Now, next…"
Pastor sighs. – "My child, not so fast we…"
Alison. – "I say, Next!"
Pastor nods and then it was Emily turns; Alison looks at Emily's medical chart to get her full name, the Pastor found it suspicious but looking at the gaze of the blonde, he didn't argue with her.
Pastor. – "So, Emily Catherine Fields, do you take Alison as your partner and…"
Emily screams with pain. – "I…. Augrh!"
Alison. – "Ok, that was her 'I do'…"
Pastor. – "It didn't sound like one…"
Alison. – "I say it was her 'I do' so it's… really father, don't argue with me about this… you'll not win…"
Pastor sighs heavy, he doesn't agree with the blonde but he's actually afraid of what the blonde could do to him so in the end, he just declares them married and Alison rushes towards the doctors, asking them to take Emily into surgery.
Doctor. – "We need her guardian for the paperwork…"
Alison. – "I'm her wife, so don't worry I'll sign whatever I need to sign, just save her please!"
Some moments later, Alison walks in the waiting room and all the girls were already there, waiting for any news. The blonde was going to say something to them when a nurse approaches her…
Nurse. – "Ms. Fields, I need your signature for the insurance…"
All the girls spit out their coffee; Alison raises an eye brow and crosses her arm as she feels the gaze of the girls on her…
Alison. – "Why are you looking at me like that? Did I miss something?"
Hanna says with shock. – "Well, looks it's us who missed a lot?! When?! How?! Why?!"
Alison signs the papers and then the nurse leaves them alone…
Alison. – "Look, your friend didn't have medical care and I've great medical insurance, so…"
Spencer. – "So, what, you just married her!"
Hanna. – "Wait a moment, wait a moment… is that possible?! I'm drunk but not that drunk… what the hell are you talking about?!"
Aria. – "Aww.. that's really generous from you…"
Spencer. – "Ar… don't encourage her with this nonsense! Ali, this is absurd, you're aware of that, right?! You just met! I think you're too drunk!"
Alison. – "I'm not drunk, Spence…"
Spencer. – "Ali… you're gonna regret it in the morning, when the alcohol had left your system…"
Alison. – "Look, she was really concerned about the medical bills, and I can help her with that… I don't see the harm…"
Spencer. – "You don't see the harm?!"
Hanna looks at her coffee and says. – "Ok, I need something stronger that this…"
Alison. – "Spencer, looks this is like a business arrangement nothing more…"
Aria. – "What happens if the insurance finds out?"
Alison. – "Let's worry just for Emily's health now, okay…"
The girls don't look convinced, but they decide to drop it since the important was Emily's health.
Some hours later, Emily opens her eyes as she hears a constant 'bip, bip', she turns her head and she tries to focus her blurry vision, to recognize the person who's there, holding her hand and sleeping above it…
A nurse says as she gets inside the room. – "Your wife has been here all the time… she stormed around a lot with the doctors, asking an update about the surgery every minute… it's obvious that she cares about you… you're very lucky…"
Emily blushes, she doesn't know what to say or what to think but, looking at the beautiful sleeping blonde, she just smiles as she mumbles to herself…
Emily smiles. – "My wife…"
*** Emily's narrative ***
Just watch this moment, the today, without trying to change it at all. What is happening? What do I feel? What do I see? What do I hear? I'm not sure how to answer all those questions, but for now, I'll just let it be…
