Note 2: To answer some questions, this story is emison ship, for the other couples, I will put them according the plot of my story; so as far as for the others; as in the tv series, Aria had a thing with Jason a long time ago, just her and Jason know, now she's dating Liam and she's gonna work with Erza for the book; Toby is with Ivonne, Spencer is single and as it was said in previews chapters, Hanna & Caleb are together and they had a baby girl 'Haley'…
Note 3: So like it was showed on last chapter, Jason is keeping a secret, Melissa know his secret and the secret is linked with chapter 'The secret is Out' with one particular sad memory of Alison in a Christmas in NY…
Chapter 52 – Dark was the night
(In the Radly hotel, in the spa)
Aria. – "Thanks Hann… to invite us… this is really nice…"
Hanna smiled. – "Well, I just thought that we needed something to relax… I just hope that they will really come… I organize this, in particular for them…"
Aria was going to say something when Emily and Alison arrived…
Aria smiled. – "Look, they're here…"
The girls hugged…
Hanna smiled. – "So glad that you could make it…"
Emily. – "Well, thanks for the invitation…" (She murmured to Hanna's ear) "I think that Ali really needs this, thanks…"
Hanna smiled and Alison looked around…
Alison gulped. – "Where is Spence… isn't she coming too?"
Hanna sighed. – "No, she's expending the day with her family… today, Melissa will get free so I don't think that we will see Spencer today…"
(Awkward silence)
Aria. – "Ok, why we don't go to the sauna 1st… and then we do the massages… what do you think…?!"
All the girls looked at Alison, asking for her to make the call and the blonde just rolled her eyes as she was actually there because Emily made puppy eyes on her, she wasn't in the mood of being the leader neither be around people…
Alison sighed. – "Yeah… whatever…"
Hanna said with humor. – "Yeah… that's the spirit!"
Alison rolled her eyes and Hanna hugged her…
Hanna. – "Come on… don't be grumpy, let's have a nice day in the spa…"
The girls followed Hanna into the spa. They were having a nice time; in the afternoon, they decided to eat too into the restaurant of the hotel; Alison needed to do a call for work so she excused herself with her friends for a moment, she was close to the lobby making her call.
In the Radly hotel, Jason was staying there, he was getting out of the elevators and he rolled his eyes when he found someone unpleasant on the lobby…
Melissa smirked. – "Hey 'bro' Jason…"
Jason huffed. – "What are you doing here?!"
Melissa. – "I'm free now… so I can be wherever I want…"
Jason glanced at her and Melissa laughed amused by his reaction.
Melissa. – "I came to have lunch with my family… I just went to the bathroom for a moment and I should go to join them in the table… mmm… would you like to join us, 'your' father is there too…"
Jason. – "My Dad is dead…"
Melissa smirked. – "You know… we're half-sibling after all… you should be more kind with your sister… me…"
Jason rolled his eyes and tried to walk away but Melissa stopped him, grabbing him from the arm…
Melissa. – "You know Jason, they say it's easy to forget your troubles when the weather's warm like now but you should keep in mind that all it takes is one fall breeze to blow reality right back in your face…" (Smirks)
Jason looked confused and said in a serious tone. – "What do you want to say by that?! Are you threating me?!" (He pointed out his finger against Melissa) "I will not let you to touch me either to touch Ali and her family…"
Melissa saw by the corner of her eye, Alison walking in their direction, distracted with her phone…
Melissa smirked. – "Wow… look at you… acting all protective, like a real big brother…" (Smirks) "But then again appearances can be deceiving, isn't it? Please Jason, help me to understand something… how you do it? I mean every time you smile to Alison, every time that you hug her, how can you feel the warmth of her love without feeling the remorse, the reminder of how much she would despise you, if she knew the truth…"
Jason yelled. – "You will say nothing! I did what you asked so you will reveal nothing to Alison!"
*** Music background: When your heart is a stranger by Friends in Paris***
Jason gulped hard and his eyes got bigger of shock when someone talked to him from behind…
Alison raised an eye brow and asked. – "Reveal what Jason?"
Jason slowly turned in direction of the blonde and Alison just looked by the corner of her eye towards Melissa, she glanced at the brunette and closed her fists very tight.
Melissa waved her hand and said to Alison. – "Hello Alison… long time no see…"
Alison didn't reply, she just took a deep breath and locked her look on Jason…
Alison. – "Jason! I made a question! What is it…?! What are you hiding to me?! What 'truth' is she talking about…?!"
Jason stood in silence just looking down…
Melissa. – "Oh come on Jason… come clean… we'll have a past… it's not like you're responsible for the death of a family member or someone like that… right?"
Jason. – "Melissa stop! I did what you ask, just drop it! I had put it behind me…"
Alison looked confused. – "Jason! What is she talking about?! What did you put behind you?!"
Melissa. – "Yes Jason, what you put behind you…? And what about your faithful subjects, as your precious Alison that's here… has she also put it behind her?"
Alison. – "Jason! What is she talking about?! Answer me damn it!"
Melissa smirked with devious smiles. – "Come on Jason, tell her, tell her, who you really are… tell her who was the other hoodie that was there, in that fatal Christmas in NY…"
Alison's jaw dropped open with watery-eyes and made two back steps as one memory hit her mind…
*** Flashback: In the streets of NY***
It was Christmas, when Alison was planning to go the store alone but Enzo insisted in accompanying her, there had been some robberies in the area so he was being as protective as always; Alison wanted to keep the surprise of her present for Enzo so she asked him to wait outside as she bought the wrapping paper for his gift; she was choosing a Christmas paper when she looked up and noticed the reflection of a black hoodie behind her; she panicked and she ran out as fast as she could from there; she got out of the store forgetting that Enzo was waiting for her outside, she just kept running; when she got in a blind alley; Jason was disguised as a black hoodie, he caught her; they were struggling.
Alison. – "Let me go! Get off me!"
Jason, disguised as a black hoodie, he was trying to get Alison in a black van where Cece was waiting for them when Enzo took him from the shoulder and hit him so hard that Jason got on the floor.
Enzo. – "Get your hands off my little sis, you human garbage!"
Alison looked up and smiled. – "Enzo!"
Enzo was looking Alison in the eyes. – "Are you ok kiddo?!"
Alison nodded and Enzo turned his attention to the black hoodie, that was Jason, Enzo started to fight against Jason and Enzo was stronger so he was definitely getting the crap of him; Enzo wasn't an aggressive person but when he saw Alison in danger, he just lost it; Jason was on the floor in bad shape when Enzo found a tube on the alleys, he took the tube and he was planning to hit him with it; Enzo was with his arms over his head when Cece shoot him from the black van, three shoots directly in the chest…
Alison. – "Nooo!"
*** End of the Flashback***
Alison said with big eyes, looking into Jason's eyes, tears already falling from Alison's eyes. – "No, no, no, no… it can't be… please… please" (She yelled) "JASON! SAY ME THAT IT'S NOT TRUE!"
Jason said looking guilty. – "Ali… I… I… I'm so sorry…"
He tried to touch the blonde but Alison pulled him away with anger…
Alison yelled with anger. – "Don't touch me!" (Tears) "How could you… how could you! You were there! I lost my brother Enzo and you were there! You took him from me!"
Jason. – "He wasn't your brother…"
Alison yelled with anger. – "He was more a brother to me that you would ever be!"
Jason felt heartbroken by what Alison said to him.
Jason gulped. – "I… I didn't pull the trigger, Cece did it…"
Alison. – "You might didn't pull the trigger but his blood is in your hands too …"
Alison ran away from the hotel, with tears on her blue eyes. Spencer was looking for Melissa and she approached when she saw Alison walking away with tears on her face…
Spencer. – "What was that?!"
Melissa smirked. – "Well that's how a pretty boy's ugly secret is revealed…" (Mocking smile)
Jason turned towards Melissa and looked at her with anger…
Jason said with bitter tone. – "You will pay for this…"
Melissa laughed with a mocking smile and Jason left the two brunettes there…
*** End of the Music background***
In a table, Emily and the other two friends were waiting for Alison…
Emily said with concern. – "Her call is taking too long…"
Before one of the other girls could say something, Spencer approached to them…
Aria. – "Spence?!"
Spencer put her hand over Emily's shoulder and said to her. – "You should go out and look for Ali…"
Emily stood up and said with big eyes. – "What?! She left?! Why?!"
Spencer sighed. – "I don't know… I just saw her crying as she was leaving the hotel…"
Emily looked up and she showed an angry expression as she saw in another table Melissa, smirking at her with a big smile…
Emily. – "Did your sister do something to my wife?!"
Spencer gulped. – "I… I don't know…"
Emily took her phone from the table and was planning to leave but before leaving she walked towards the Hastings table…
Mr. Hastings. – "Hello, Emily…"
Emily didn't reply the 'hello' and she pointed out to Melissa as she said to her. – "Don't you dare to approach my family! I swear Melissa; I will kill you before you put a finger on them!"
Veronica Hasting. – "Emily!"
Melissa didn't reply; she just smiled to Emily and Emily felt her blood boiling of anger; she walked away in order to look for her wife…
(In Alison's car)
The blonde got into her car and ran away from the hotel as fast as she could; she was with big tears on her eyes; she was cleaning her tears and then she looked up to her rearview mirror. Gasps came from her mouth when she saw by the rearview mirror; Wilden sitting in the back seat of her car…
Alison said with shock. – "No! It can't be! You're dead!"
The person unmasked as Wilden, he smirked and he took a leap forward, trying to make the blonde lose control of the car; Alison struggled with him, until they crashed against a lamp post; Alison didn't get really hurt as the safety bag kept her safe; even then, the blonde lost conscious in questions of seconds; the person disguised as Wilden murmured something on her ear…
The person unmasked as Wilden said. – "Suit up, Alison…" (Smirks) "Because it's playtime now…"
(In the ER of Rosewood Hospital)
Emily was entering into the ER; she drove there as soon as she received the call that her wife was there after a car crash. This situation was bringing back bad memories of the last time when the blonde had a car crash on California…
Emily said with concern to the nurse who was there for information. – "Hi, I'm Ms. Fields… I'm looking for my wife… I received a call that she got in… she's Alison Fields-DiLaurentis…"
The nurse was checking on her files when someone approached, calling the name of the brunette…
Elliot. – "Emily…"
Emily turned in direction of the voice and approached to Elliot…
Elliot said as he tried to guide her. – "Alison… she's over here; follow me, please…"
As soon as Emily saw her wife, she ran towards her and hugged her…
Emily said to Alison. – "Are you ok…? What happen?! You left without telling me and now you're here in the ER?!"
Alison sighed. – "Sorry I just… I-I don't know how to explain it…" (She saw by the corner of her eye Elliot and said) "I don't want to speak here… can we go home… please…"
Emily nodded. – "Ok… mmm… should I look for your doctor…?"
Elliot said as he slowly approached. – "I will bring him here, if you want…"
Emily. – "Sorry… but what are you doing here? With us?!"
Alison sighed. – "He brought me here Em… it was what the doctor said to me…"
Elliot smiled. – "It was just a good coincidence that I was driving around; I saw a car bumped into a lamp post so I did what any other person would do… it's nothing really…"
Emily. – "Oh… well… thanks…"
Elliot smiled. – "You're welcome…" (He stretched his arm towards Emily and gave her an hospital bag with medicine) "I took the delivery to look for her medication; here… you will find the prescription inside…"
Emily took the bag and said. – "Ok… thanks…"
(Awkward silence)
Elliot. – "Ok, then… my job here is done now that you're here… so…." (He took out of his jacket a professional card) "Here… my contact info if you need anything… please… don't hesitate to call me…"
Emily took it and nodded; Elliot looked at the blonde and smiled to her…
Elliot smiled. – "Feel better… Alison..."
Emily put herself in front of the blonde, blocking the view for Elliot and he just chuckled and left. Emily followed him with her look, she had a serious look on her face, she didn't like how that man looked at her wife. Then, Emily turned in direction of her wife when she felt Alison pulling Emily's T-shirt.
Alison. – "Please… take me home…"
Emily nodded and kissed Alison's front-head and they walked away from the hospital, after talking with the doctor and signing some documents.
(In the Fields-DiLaurentis house)
The two girls got into their house, they've not talked since they left the hospital, and Emily was worried of the lost look on her wife…
Emily asked. – "Are you sure that you're feeling ok?"
Alison made her way to the kitchen, she didn't reply, she just took a glass of water and took the pills that were in the bag with the prescription; the blonde dropped the glass on the island table of the kitchen and she was looking down to her hands that were over the table; a little smile appeared on her face when two tanner hands slowly got over her hands…
Emily. – "Ali…"
Alison replied, still looking down to their hands. – "The boys… where are them?"
Emily. – "With my parents…" (Sighs) "Are you ok?"
Alison. – "Em… you heard the doctor, nothing serious to worry about…"
Emily. – "What happened? Why did you leave the hotel without saying anything?" (Deep breath) "Did… did Melissa do something to you?"
*** Music background: Running away behind – Instrumental OST 'Uncontrollably Fond'***
Emily. – "Ali…"
The brunette was going to say something but she didn't when she felt something wet touching her hands; Emily looked down and noticed that Alison's tears where falling and touching her hands; Emily approached to her wife and as soon as Alison felt Emily close at her side; the blonde curled on Emily, she started lamenting and in a short period of time, Emily's neck was all sweaty with Alison's tears; Emily just hugged her with warm affection and she was with watery-eyes, she felt heartbroken with the crying of Alison, the last time that the blonde cried so much was on her parents funeral…
Emily said with a soft voice. – "Ali… please, talk with me…"
Alison continued crying and gripping on Emily's clothes, they stood like that for hours, until Alison's eyes got sore of so much crying. Emily guided her wife to their bedroom, she put the blonde on the bed; both girls were face to face, Emily trying to clean up the mask mess on the blonde after so much crying…
Alison looked to the brown eyes of Emily and murmured. – "He was there…"
Emily. – "What? Who?"
Alison said with shaky voice and tears once again followed from her eyes. – "The day that Enzo died… he was there…" (Tears and sobs) "He was the other hoodie…" (Tears) "Jason… he was there…"
Alison crying started again and Emily hugged her and kissed her front-head…
Emily whispered. – "Oh, Ali… are you sure? Maybe it's a…"
Alison interrupted her and said. – "He told me!" (Tears and sobs)
Emily really didn't know what to do or say besides hugging her and be her support to cry; eventually, both girls fell slept. After an hour of sleeping, Emily opened her eyes; she saw the time and slowly crawled out from bed in order to go for her boys. Before leaving, she put a soft kiss on Alison's front head and caressed her sleepy beauty, Emily left fall a tear from her eye as even sleeping, Alison looked sad: the brunette took a deep breath and walked away, leaving Alison slept.
*** Music background ends***
(Some days after…)
Emily opened the front door when she heard the bell rang; she showed a serious and uncomfortable look to the person who has standing in front of the door…
Jason gulped. – "Hi…"
Emily sighed. – "Hi…"
Jason. – "Can I…"
Emily. – "She still doesn't want to see you Jason… please leave…"
Jason. – "Is she… is she ok?"
Emily crossed her arms and said upset. – "No Jason! She's not ok!"
Jason. – "What I…."
Emily. – "Stop it Jason! Stop coming every day and making the same stupid questions ok! Stop it! Because the answer is that 'I don't know'! I'm doing everything I can! Everything I can!" (Sighs) "Please Jason, just go…"
Jason sighed deeply and looked down; he turned around when he heard the girls arriving to the house…
Emily. – "Jason, go away…"
Jason sighed and nodded; the girls just saw him leaving with a sad look and Aria looked concerned for him; once inside the house, the girls were on the living room with Emily and the boys…
Hanna looked around and asked. – "Where is Ali?"
Emily sighed and tried to focus her look on her boys. – "On bed…" (Sighs) "Guys, she's really depressed and I don't know what else to do…"
Spencer. – "Why don't you ask for the help of professional?"
Emily. – "What do you mean?"
Spencer. – "Well, Dr. Rollins is really good; I can ask him to come and treat Ali…"
Hanna. – "Isn't he the doctor of Melissa?"
Spencer nodded
Emily questioned. – "I don't know…"
Spencer. – "Come on Em, this situation is not healthy for anyone of you, what if Ali got more depressed or worse… it doesn't hurt to try…"
Aria. – "Yeah Em… I mean, if he could get Melissa better, he would definitely be able to do something for Ali…"
The girls continued talking on the subject but Emily continued hesitating to call for Dr. Rollins help. After putting the boys on bed; she approached to her bedroom with something of food and water for Alison; when she was getting in; she noticed that the blonde was finished a phone call…
Alison looked towards Emily and said. – "It was Blair…"
Emily. – "Oh, how is her father doing?"
Alison. – "Better, he will be released soon from the hospital and then she said that as soon as she can come back to Rosewood, she will kick my ass from this bed…"
Both girls chuckled
Emily said as she put the food in front of the blonde. – "Here…" (She saw the look that Alison did to the food and said) "Don't worry, my mom made it… I didn't cook it…"
Alison chuckled but the smile on her face didn't last too much time. – "I'm not hungry Em…"
Emily sighed. – "Ali… you haven't eaten anything the entire day; you need to feed your stomach with something before taking your medicine…"
Alison sighed. – "Fine…"
The blonde took some bites and then she took her medicine…
Emily. – "Can you at least eat a little more…"
Alison sighed. – "I'm not hungry Em…"
Emily begged. – "Please Ali…"
Alison looked the concern reflected on the brown eyes of her wife and she ate at least the entire soup.
Emily sighed. – "I'm worried…"
Alison. – "Of what?"
Emily. – "You…" (Both girls looked at each other into the eyes) "I don't know what else to do for you… you're not ok and I…" (Sighs) "I think that you should see a therapist…"
Alison crossed her arms. – "No! I hate shrinks and you know it!"
Emily sighed. – "Ali…"
Alison. – "Therapy is not for me Em… it doesn't work for me…" (She grabbed Emily's hand and said to her) "It will pass, I will be in better mood soon, I promise…"
Emily raised an eye brow and said. – "Ali…"
Alison. – "Please, just give me a little of time ok?"
Emily sighed. – "Ok…"
The next days, the girls continued passing by but Alison continued the same, passing almost all day on bed. One day, the girls were with Emily and the boys when they head a scream coming from upstairs; Emily ran as soon as she heard the scream of her wife…
Emily said with concern as she ran upstairs. – "Ali! Ali!"
Aria and Hanna stood with the boys and just Spencer followed her; they got into the room and found Alison on the corner, kneeled, hugging her legs and shaking…
Emily kneeled in front of her wife and caressed Alison's head as she said…
Emily. – "OMG, Ali… what is it?"
Alison. – "They were here… I saw them… both…"
Spencer. – "Ali, there is no one else in the house beside the girls, your kids and us…"
Alison. – "They were here! I felt it! They touched me!"
Emily. – "Who Ali… who were here?! Who are you talking about?!"
Alison. – "Wilden and Talia! I know that they are dead but they were here!"
Emily and Spencer looked at each other with concerned look…
Spencer. – "That's it… I'm gonna call Elliot…"
The brunette left the room and Emily's look just stood frozen, she just turned towards her wife, when Alison gripped Emily's hand.
Alison. – "Em… what is wrong with me?!"
Emily gulped and just hugged her tight. Some minutes, later, Elliot came to the house; he asked to stay alone with Alison but Emily just stood there, outside the close door of her bedroom, walking in circles and biting her nails; she approached to the door as soon as she heard the noise of it opened…
Emily entered to her bedroom and sat beside her wife that looked sleeping…
Elliot. – "I gave her a sedative because she needs to sleep…"
Emily caressed Alison's face and said. – "What is wrong with her?"
Elliot. – "She needs a treatment… I think that this is all about misplaced guilt and the best for her would be to ingress her for some days at Welby…"
Emily. – "What?! She's not crazy!"
Elliot. – "She's seeing dead people Emily, something is not ok with her and before she hurt herself or anyone else, my advice is to get her into Welby and treat her as soon as possible…"
Emily gulped, looking to her wife. – "Can't you treat her here… at home?"
Elliot sighed. – "Ok… least try that 1st but if this continued to get worse… I will once again advise you to get her in Welby…" (He puts some medications on the table beside the bed and said) "Tomorrow, she should take this each 4 hours ok…"
Emily nodded and before escort him outside, she kissed Alison's front-head and whispered to her. – "It will be ok… you will be ok…"
The doctor left and the girls that were on the living room, approached…
Aria. – "How is she?"
Emily sighed. – "I don't know… she's sleeping now but…." (Sighs)
Spencer. – "What did Elliot tell you?"
Emily. – "He advise me to ingress Alison at Welby for treatment…"
Hanna. – "What?! That's crazy!"
Spencer. – "Seeing dead people is crazy Hann…"
Emily. – "She's not crazy ok! She… she's just not ok right now…"
Aria rubbed Emily's back and said. – "Don't get upset Em… she will get better…"
Emily sighed. – "Yeah… thanks Ar…"
Aria. – "Do you wanna us to stay?"
Emily shook her head and said. – "No, it's ok…"
Hanna. – "Are you sure?"
Emily nodded
Spencer hugged her and said. – "OK, it's late and we're leaving now but if you need anything, just call us ok…"
Emily nodded and her friends left. Emily took her boys on bed; she read them a bedtime story but the boys looked sad as they were missing the blonde's stories. Oliver crawled out of bed and he started to walk in direction of the door with his teddy bear on his arm; Emily held him in her arms…
Emily. – "Ollie, it's time of bed…"
Oliver pouted. – "No… mamma… mamma…"
Emily sighed. – "I know that you miss her too Ollie… but right now mama can't be here with you… she needs to rest…"
The little boy pouted and kicked but Emily tucked him again on bed and after a long time trying to calm them down; Emily could come to her bedroom once the boys fell slept. It was in the middle of the night; Emily rolled on bed and she opened her eyes when she didn't feel her wife on bed; she jumped out of bed and started to look for Alison as she murmured for her name "Ali" as she looked for her. She got really concern and then she opened the front door and she found her wife sitting on the stairs of the porch with a red jacket.
Emily. – "Ali…"
The brunette didn't have a instantly reply, just one she put her hand on Alison's shoulder, the blonde got out of her trance and looked at her…
Emily. – "Ali… what are you doing outside…"
Alison said as she looked confused and dizzy. – "I… I'm not sure…"
Emily gulped and hugged Alison from the shoulder and guided inside the house…
(The next morning at the Church of Rosewood)
Police were putting ribbon fences on the area…
Detective Tanner. – "How is this happened? And no one saw anything?!"
Toby. – "It was a dark night, some lamps of this area don't work so it was very dark to see anything until the fire started in the tower of the church… someone did an anonymous call to the fire fighters and they could stop the fire before the entire church got burned, just the tower got burn…"
Tanner sighed. – "So a body was found into the church… do we know who it was…?"
Toby. – "Here… this was with the corps burned…" (He gave a bag and inside the bag there were some personal belongings) "It's a girl and according with the ID card of the bag… it's Melissa Hastings… I saw the body but it's too burned, I can't tell if it's really her…"
Tanner sighed. – "I want forensics to do a DNA test to be sure…"
Toby. – "We will need the family DNA for that… what do we say to the family?"
Tanner. – "I will talk with them… just call the forensics here now…"
(In Melissa's funeral)
Some days after the fire; the DNA test gave positive for match with Melissa Hastings. The family was crushed, especially Spencer. Family and friends and some reporters were on the funeral. At the end of the funeral, the girls were staying together, seeing Spencer leaving with her family…
Aria. – "She looked sad… Spence…"
Hanna. – "Well, her sister just died so…"
Emily. – "I still can't believe that she's dead…"
The girls were talking when Detective Tanner approached them…
Tanner. – "Ms. Fields, where is your wife…? Alison"
Emily crossed her arms. – "At home; she hasn't feel fine these days. Why?"
Tanner. – "The fire wasn't an accident, there are proofs that showed that it was provoked by someone and the autopsy of the body showed too that Melissa was already dead when the fire happened…"
Hanna. – "She was murdered?"
Emily. – "Why are you asking for my wife?"
Tanner. – "You and your wife had kind of an history with the victim… so you're gonna definitely receive a call…"
Emily. – "Are you accusing us of something?!"
Tanner. – "I'm just doing my job here…" (She received a call and said) "I will see you again Ms. Fields…"
Tanner left and the girls just followed her with the eyes…
Emily. – "Is she really thinking that Ali or me… that we killed her?!"
Hanna. – "Don't go there Em…"
Emily ran a hand on her hair and sighed deeply
Aria. – "Em… don't worry because of what Tanner might think ok… you've enough worries with Alison's health and your boys…"
Emily sighed. – "I know…"
Hanna patted Emily's back and said. – "Come on… let's go to your family…"
Emily sighed. – "Yeah, my parents are at my home with Ali and the boys but I really wanted to see them now…" (Sighs) "When are you leaving?"
Hanna. – "I'm not leaving to NY until Ali's better and you're ok…"
Aria. – "Me neither, beside, my parents are gonna get married again so…"
Hanna. – "Really? Why didn't you say something before?"
Aria. – "Well, with everything that it was happening I didn't see the perfect time to say it…"
Emily chuckled. – "I'm glad that you're here… staying at least for a while, especially now…"
Aria and Hanna smiled and they hugged Emily.
