Hello, thank you for the reviews and just know that there will not be Alex Drake in this story, sorry no fan of it. I will not say who is AD, not yet but soon you will have a sneak peek of who is behind the game… Now, this chapter will be linked with what happened in chapter 'An honest mistake': Toby and Spencer's hook up; Emily hurting Paige to get Alison's location and with chapter 'Sealing our fate'. The pool part, it will be very similar of what happened in episode 15 season 1 of the tv serie PLL…
Like always any comment is welcome, thanks and hope you like it :D !
Chapter 65 – Didn't we almost have it all?
Emily's narrative: Dreams… everybody has them… some good… some bad… some you wish you could forget…
In the middle of the forest, 5 liars crossing a hanging bridge…
Hanna. – "Guys, this will break any second!"
Aria. – "Stop saying that!"
The girls look at the emptiness of the cliff below them and gulp, they were just in the middle of the bridge, a wooden bridge with rope, very old. Alison was the last one on the line and in front of her, Emily then, Hanna, Aria and in front of the line, Spencer. Emily looks back at her wife and she notices the fear of highs that the blonde was showing in her face…
Emily says as she squeezes Alison's hand. – "Ali… it's ok… we will be ok…"
Alison smiles, just looking at Emily, she feels safe already. Emily smiles at the blonde and they could stay looking at each other forever but there was no time for that…
Spencer says as she looks at the end of the bridge. – "Almost there, girls… almost th-…"
*** Music background: Cut the Rope by Charlotte OC***
A strong breeze, it was all it needed to crack the bridge…
Hanna yells. – "I told you!"
Spencer yells. – "Shut up and run!"
The girls speed up their steps as the rope of the bridge just broke; Spencer, Aria and Hanna are able to touch solid ground but Emily and Alison don't get the same luck…
The girls look down and they feel relief to see that the couple alive, pending on the remains of the bridge. Emily looks down at her wife, she smiles at the blonde, just trying to make her feel safe; Alison smiles back and she was smiling until she notices that the rope wasn't going to withstand both of them… it was too much weight…
Emily stretches her arm and says. – "Ali! Take my hand!" (She notices something in Alison's eyes and a strange fear invades her body as she says with a shaky voice) "A-Ali…"
Alison smiles with watery-eyes. – "I love you…"
Emily mumbles. – "A… Ali…"
Alison.- "It's too much weight Em… the rope will break if we both stay holding on it… but if it's just one of us…"
Emily yells, shaking her head, just feeling crushing of the meaning of Alison's words. – "No! No! No! Don't…" (Tears and a heart-breaking voice) "Ali… please, take my hand…"
The rope was loosening it; it was fraying and all the girls scream with fear…
Emily looks down at her wife and everything happened in slow motion for her…
Alison. – "I love you…"
The blonde let it go… she release the rope as she blows a kiss towards Emily, the brunette just drops her jaw open as she's seeing the love of her life, falling in the emptiness of the cliff…
Emily screams. – "ALI! NOOOO!"
*** End of Emily's dream***
Emily was screaming, kicking and crying under her sleep; Alison wakes up and tries to awake her…
Alison. – "Em… Em! Love! Wake up! EMILY!"
Nothing was working so Alison just follows her instinct and she holds the brunette on her arms and kisses her, she puts a strong kiss on Emily's lips and it's just when Emily feels the kiss that she wakes up from her nightmare. The brunette wildly opens her eyes and when she sees Alison, she deepens the kiss as much as she can, feeling hungry, craving to feel Alison close to her. Emily curls on Alison and the blonde just caresses Emily's hair as Emily leans her face against Alison's chest…
Alison says. – "Ssshh… it's ok… it was just a dream… a bad dream…"
Emily sobs and grips on Alison. – "It felt so real… I… I…" (Crying and sobs)
Alison kisses Emily and caresses Emily's face as she says. – "Don't cry… please don't cry…"
Emily sobs as she snuggles with Alison, she takes deep breaths of Alison's aroma and filling her lungs with the vanilla aroma of the blonde, it really makes her feel better.
Alison. – "Are you ok…?"
Emily buries her face on Alison's breast and she replies. – "I'm now…"
Alison chuckles and she hugs Emily's head, forcing the girl to keep her face between her boobs…
Alison teases. – "Feeling better?"
Emily blushes and nods.
Alison. – "You scared me, what was your dream about…?"
Emily. – "I don't want to recall it…"
Alison feels how Emily became stiff with the question so she didn't push it… Alison kisses Emily's head and says as she's falling asleep again. – "Ok… if you don't want to talk about it, we won't… but I'm here if you need me ok?"
Emily nods and she slowly closes her eyes, still using Alison's boobs as a pillow…
(Emily's narrative) Yes… Dreams… some good… some bad… But no matter what you dream, a dream is just a dream… or is it not?
(In Rosewood Hospital)
Blair. – "You don't need to…"
Spencer says as she's packing Blair's things. – "Shut up, with the sling on your arm, you can't do anything by yourself…"
Spencer blushes when she touches Blair's panties and Blair just chuckles looking at the red cheeks of Spencer.
Blair chuckles. – "Let me…"
Spencer. – "No…" (She finishes packing everything and says) "It's done… you see?"
Blair. – "Wow, that was fast… you really are good on everything…"
Spencer smiles, she was going to say something but she feels sick and she runs to the bathroom and Blair just stays against the door as she hears the brunette throwing up…
Blair says as she knocks the door. – "Is everything ok out there?" (Sighs of concern) "You've been throwing up all day…"
*** Music background: When it comes to us by Frances ft Ritual ***
After some minutes in the bathroom, Spencer goes out and she blushes when Blair puts her hand on her face. Blair was thinking as a doctor, examining Spencer as if she was a patient and she didn't put attention on how much Spencer was blushing by feeling Blair's touch…
Spencer mumbles with blush on her cheeks. – "W-w-what are you doing?!"
Blair. – "You don't have fever, that's good…" (She takes Spencer's pulse and says) "Your pulse is raising… wow… very fast… I wonder why?"
Spencer mumbles as she notices how close Blair's lips are from her. – "I know why…"
Blair looks up and their eyes meet and now both of them are blushing.
(Silence and constant gaze)
Spencer blushes and says avoiding eye-contact. – "You don't need to 'play doctor' with me, I'm fine…"
Blair teases. – "Maybe I want to…"
Spencer turns her head and stares at Blair as she says. – "What?!" (Blush)
Blair teases with a huge smirk and a seductive voice. – "Maybe, I want to 'play doctor' with you…"
Spencer blushes and looks down but Blair softly grabs Spencer's chin and makes her to look up…
Blair. – "Don't look down…"
Spencer blushes. – "Why not?"
Blair. – "Because I love to see your almond eyes…"
Spencer blushes and they keep looking at each other into the eyes, with very intense looks…
Spencer. – "I feel like I'm in a staring contest…" (Blush) "Stop looking at me like that!"
Blair. - "Why?"
Spencer blushes. – "Why?!"
Blair gets closer and Spencer blushes more as both of them are very close…
Blair. – "Yes, why I should stop staring at you when I don't want to stop…?"
Blair puts her only free hand on Spencer's cheek and she smiles when she notices that Spencer closes her eyes and rubs her cheek against her hand. The brunette takes that as an invitation to get closer and slowly, she put their front-heads together and both of them just close their eyes, feeling overwhelmed by the closeness… their hearts were beating very fast and they could hear it…
Blair slowly moves her head and the tip of her nose touches the tip of Spencer's nose, with the eyes still closed, they started shaking their heads from side to side; going back and forth a few times as they rub noses…
Spencer blushes and chuckles. – "Did we just share an eskimo kiss?!"
Blair chuckles and blushes. – "I think we did…"
They open their eyes at the same time and their smiles get bigger as their eyes meet again.
Blair. – "Spence, I…"
(Knock knock)
Both of them turn their head in direction of the person who interrupts their magical moment…
Spencer raises and eye brow. – "Detective…?"
Marco. – "Did I interrupt something?"
Blair was going to say something but Spencer talks before she could say something…
Spencer. – "No…"
Blair bites her lips and looks down, she feels hurt by Spencer's answer… Spencer crosses her arms and she stays face to face with the detective.
Spencer. – "Can I ask the reason of your visit, Detective Fury?
Marco smiles. – "Please, call me Marco, I feel very old if you call me by my last name, Ms. Hastings…"
Spencer. – "Well, if I'm calling you Marco, you should call me Spencer because Ms. Hastings is my mom, not me…"
Both of them chuckles and Blair just huffs, rolling her eyes…
Blair says with an angry tone. – "Detective FURY, I already said everything to Toby, I don't see the need of your unwanted visit…"
Marco looks at Blair and says. – "You look upset, did I do something to upset you?"
Blair was going to say something but once again Spencer talks before her…
Spencer playfully-pat Blair's back and says. – "You did nothing wrong Marco, don't worry…"
Blair rolls her eyes and she feels her blood boiling. Spencer raises an eye brow, she doesn't get why Blair is so upset…
Marco. – "Well, actually, I was looking for you Spencer…"
Blair. – "What?!"
Spencer. – "Me?! Why?"
Marco. – "Well, I found out that you and the suspect, Wren Kingston had some history so if it's ok with you, I would like to make some questions…"
Blair. – "She knew Wren from the past but she has nothing to do with him now… I don't see where you wanna go with this…"
Marco. – "We're looking for Mr. Kingston, we've reason to believe that he might be hiding in the surroundings of Rosewood so any information of what places he visited in the past, maybe crucial for our investigation… I'm just trying to get the bad guy Ms. Sloan…"
Blair. – "Doctor Sloan, for you detective…"
Marco. – "My apologies, Doctor…"
Spencer notices the tension and says. – "I'm not sure how I can help but I'm ok with answer your questions…" (She touches Blair's arm and says to Blair) "Can you wait for me?"
Marco. – "If you want, I can ask one of the cops to escort Dr. Sloan to her apartment…"
Blair stays with the mouth open as once again Spencer talks before her…
Spencer. – "No, I'm her ride, besides, she's staying with me…"
Blair blushes and looks at Spencer. – "I Am?!'
Spencer says as she stares at her. – "Yes, you're… I told you before; you're helpless with the sling on your arm and someone should keep an eye on you, at least until you get better…"
Blair. – "I don't need a baby-sitter…"
Spencer squints her eyes and says. – "I'm not asking you what you think, I'm telling you that you're staying with me! That's it!"
Blair teases. – "In your barn… there's just one bed… and we're two… are you telling me that you're gonna sleep with me, in the same bed?"
Spencer blushes and she avoids eye-contact as she mumbles. – "Well… my bed is big so… we will be able to manage something…"
Blair smirks and then Marco clears his throat to show his presence…
Spencer kisses Blair's cheek and says. – "It will not take too long, wait for me, here ok…?"
Blair blushes and nods, she just follows her with the eyes, feeling very irritating of the way Marco puts his hand on Spencer's back as both of them exit the room. It felt like an eternity to wait for Spencer, Blair was on the bed of the hospital, staring at the ceiling, sighing until she heard someone getting in; she gets up with a smile, thinking that it was Spencer but she stops smiling when she notices that it wasn't her…
Alison smirks. – "Well, nice to see you, too…" (She raises an eye brow) "You're not happy to see your BF?"
Blair stands up and hugs the blonde as she says. – "Hi, Ali, off course I'm happy to see you… it's just that…" (Sighs) "Never mind… what are you doing here?"
Alison. – "Spencer, called me, she asked me to drive you…" (She crosses her arms and asks) "She told me to drive you at her barn… why?"
Blair. – "She's my ride, why she's asking you to do it for her?!"
Alison. – "I'm not sure, she mentioned something about going to some place with a guy, Marco…" (She notices that Blair looks upset and says) "Are you ok?"
Blair avoids eye-contact, she takes her bag and says with a bitter sarcastic voice. – "Yeah, never better… let's go…"
Alison nods. – "Ok… but you didn't answer my question, why are you gonna stay in Spencer's barn…?"
Blair. – "I'm not… you're driving me home, at my apartment…"
Alison. – "But Spence said…"
Blair. – "Spencer doesn't rule my life and she's not here so let's go, to my place…"
Alison puts her hands up and says. – "Ok, ok… geez, someone it's in bad mood today… let's go grumpy face, we will pass by the Brew, maybe a mocha will chill you out…"
Blair. – "Sorry, I didn't mean to…"
Alison. – "To snap against me?" (Smirks) "It's ok, don't worry but you will pay for the mochas by the way and some muffins too…"
Blair chuckles and both of them, they leave the hospital…
(In the DiLaurentis-Fields house)
Hanna was eating her nails and walking in circles…
Aria. – "Can you stop doing that?! You're making me feel dizzy…"
Emily. – "Hann… Ar is right, you need to calm down…"
Hanna snaps. – "Don't ask me to calm down! I can't calm down, Spence sent an 'SOS', we all know that it can't be something good…"
Emily sighs. – "We can't jump to conclusions…"
(Awkward silence)
Aria. – "Do you think that the 'SOS' is because of AD?"
Emily. – "We haven't heard anything from AD in a while…"
Hanna. – "Well, off course AD has been radio-silence, he's dying!"
Emily. – "Hann! We can't assume that Wren is AD!"
Hanna. – "There's no reason to think he's not!"
Aria mumbles. – "I can think a lot of reasons…"
Hanna. – "What did you say Ar?"
Aria. – "Nothing…" (She looks at Emily and says) "So… talking about Wren, how is he?"
Emily. – "He's better… Alison says that he might wake up very soon…"
Hanna. – "And that's a good thing?!"
Emily. – "YES, Hann! It's a good thing because I don't want his death on my conscience, neither do you…"
Hanna rolls her eyes and she finally sits with the arms crossed over her chest…
Aria. – "So… what it's the plan with Wren…? I mean… if he wakes up, he can accuse us for rolling him over…"
Emily. – "It was an accident, we didn't do it on purpose and he's not saint either…" (Deep breath) "Anyway, Ali told me to don't worry so let's not worry about that…"
(Awkward silence)
Aria looks at her phone as she received a text…
AD SMS: Tick tock Ar… tick tock…
Aria gulps, she put her phone on her pocket with shaky movements and the girls notice it…
Emily. – "Is everything ok, Ar?"
Aria says, looking very nervous. – "Yeah, yeah… just wedding stuffs… mmm…. So… mmm… about Wren location… I think that we should talk with Ali and asked her to tell us… I mean… we should know where he's…. we shouldn't keep secrets between us… doesn't she trust us?"
Hanna. – "I don't need to know where he's, actually, I would feel better if he just vanish from the earth…"
Emily. – "Hann! Don't say that! It's wrong to wish the death of someone else!"
Hanna rolls her eyes
Emily says as she looks at Aria. – "Aria, Ali trusts you…." (Deep breath) "I also don't get why she doesn't want to tell you but if you want to know where Wren is… I can tell you…"
Aria. – "You know Wren's location?"
Emily nods and she was going to share the secret with Aria but she didn't do it as Spencer emerged inside the house…
Spencer. – "We're in problems!"
Emily. – "What do you mean?"
Spencer. – "Where is Ali?!"
Emily. – "You asked her to drive Blair at her apartment, she will be here as soon as possible…."
Spencer. – "What?! I told her to drive her to my barn!"
Emily raises an eye brow and asks. – "To your barn? Why…?"
Hanna. – "Stop with your chat! Spencer, why are you saying that we're in problems?"
Spencer. – "The manager of Lost Woods Resort identified two blondes the same night when Wren disappeared, I think that Marco has suspicions that one of the two blondes is Ali or you, Hann…"
Hanna snaps. – "Fuck! Great! Just great!"
Aria. – "Who is Marco?"
Spencer. – "The detective on the case of Wren… detective Marco Fury…"
Emily. – "And you're calling him by his 1st name… because…?"
Spencer. – "Look that's not important…" (She takes her phone and she says as she's dialing a number) "I'm calling Ali, we need to…"
(Emily's phone rings)
Emily. – "Ali… we were going to call you and…" (Shocker look) "What?! I'm coming… but…" (Sighs) "Are you sure?! Ok… yeah, you're right, I have practice this afternoon but…" (Sighs) "Yeah, I trust you… ok… but if you need something…" (She smiles) "I love you too…"
The call ends and all the girls look at Emily…
Emily. – "The police took Ali for interrogation…"
Hanna looks nervous. – "Fuck…"
Aria. – "Em, you look very calm…"
Emily. – "Ali told me to don't worry and if she says that everything will be ok, it's because it will be ok…"
Spencer. – "You have some faith on her…"
Emily. – "I do and you should too…"
And just like that, a pretty girls' ugly secret risk to show itself soon…
(In the interrogation room)
Alison. – "You asked me this question already…. Three times…"
Marco smiles. – "Please, Ms. Fields, just answer the question: what were you doing at the Lost Woods Resort that night?"
Alison. – "It wasn't me…" (She squints her eyes and says) "Why are you smiling?"
Marco. – "I'm a friendly cop, Ms. Fields, so I appreciate if you could cooperate with me…"
Alison. – "I'm here, isn't? So what else do you need?"
Marco. – "I need to find Wren Kingston…"
Alison smirks. – "And who's stopping you? Me?!" (Smirks) "I don't know what you expect from me, I'm just a sassy dumb blonde…"
Marco smiles. – "You might be blonde Ms. Fields but you're not that kind of 'blonde'… you're smarter than you look… I actually admire you… I find very impressive your journey: being buried alive, hiding your tracks for years like a pro… unmasking the master mind of 'A'…" (Smile) "You're definitely, something; I mean not anyone survives what you've lived…"
Alison stares at him and says. – "Look, thanks for the compliments but just because I fit in your verbal description, that doesn't mean that I was there… if you don't have surveillance footage of me, I've no reason to stay here…"
Marco. – "You know Ms. Fields, sometimes you just have to come clean no matter how many dirty secrets come out…"
Alison smirks. – "Really and which 'dirty secrets' we're talking about? Yours or mine?"
Marco. – "Excuse-me?"
Alison squints her eyes and says. – "You're right detective, I'm smarter than I look like and I can tell that I'm not the only one keeping secrets… I sense something very heavy behind that smile…"
Marco chuckles. – "I don't know what you mean…"
Alison. – "We'll wear masks in one point of our lives for different reasons… some masks we put on because it's truly who we want to be… some we wear because we can't bear to face what's really underneath or because it's what someone else needs us to be… and some masks we wear because we hope to stay hidden… I've worn so many masks in my past that I'm able to recognize one when I see it..."
Marco raises an eye brow as he caresses his face. – "If this was a mask, you should be able to rip it off at any moment…"
Alison crosses her arms and says. – "Say whatever you want… all masks eventually have to come off…"
Marco smiles. – "And with them so do the gloves…"
Alison raises an eye brow. – "What do mean?"
Marco. – "You know… a wise woman once said to me that every morning when you wake up you should say a little prayer. After all, you never know what your day may hold… the day waits for no one… often all it takes to make a sharp turn and you're faced with a dead end…" (Chuckles) "The universe has a great sense of humour sometimes…" (Smile) "Anyway; I'm happy that I had the pleasure to know you, face to face…" (He stands up and says) "I've no footage of you, at least not yet… so you can go… thank you for coming Ms. Fields… maybe next time, we will be able to be more honest with each other…"
He leaves and Alison stays a moment in the interrogation's room, thinking…
Honesty may be the best policy in some ZIP codes but not in Rosewood… because in this town, secrets, lies and masks are the things that go around…
(In Erza's apartment)
Erza notices that Aria's phone is ringing and says. – "Are you not answering it?"
Aria turns down the call and says. – "It's not important, I will call them later… you should go, you don't wanna be late…"
Erza. – "Are you sure that you're ok, with me… meeting with Nicole's parents?"
Aria nods. – "Yeah, why I shouldn't? I mean… it sounded important… they want to meet you and you should see them…"
Erza. – "Do you wanna come?"
Aria shakes her head. – "I don't think that it's a good idea…"
Erza was going to plead but before he could say something else, Aria pushed him outside the door and he leaves her alone… the phone rings again and this time Aria takes the call…
AD. – "Rule number one: never send me to voicemail…"
Aria. – "I need you to understand something… I will not hurt my friends…."
AD. – "And I need you to understand something… break a deal with the devil… and there'll be hell to pay…"
Aria gulps
AD smirks. – "Tick tock Aria… tick tock… where is Wren?"
Aria. – "I don't know… Ali hasn't told us…"
AD. – "Hmmm… you know Aria… trust is a two-way street… you want to live happily ever after… I need to know you've got my back… otherwise, there's no fairytale wedding for you…"
Aria. – "Why are you doing this?! What do you think you'll get out of this?!"
AD smirks. – "Everything… now… let's try this again: Where is Wren?"
Aria gulps. – "I don't know where he's, I swear…"
AD. – "You know something, I can tell by your eyes… don't push your luck Aria! Not with me…"
Aria panics and says. – "I don't know where he's! But…" (Gulps)
AD. – "But…?"
Aria gulps. – "But Emily knows… just Ali and Em knows…"
The call ends and Aria just gulps, still not conscious of the fallout of her words...
(In Blair's apartment)
Blair says as she hears the strong knock on her door. – "I'm coming! I'm coming! Geez, no need to knock like that!"
She opens the door and she rolls her eyes and walks away, leaving the door open to the person who was standing there. Spencer walks in and bangs the door.
Blair. – "Hey! What is your problem?!"
Spencer. – "YOU!"
Blair. – "Me?! Why me?!"
Spencer just huffs and she walks inside Blair's room, she looks at the empty bag and she stars to fill it with clothe…
Blair. – "What are you doing?"
Spencer. – "I told you that you're staying with me… so I'm packing you a bag…"
Blair takes the bag and throws it far away from Spencer…
Spencer. – "What the hell are you doing?"
Blair says as she's looking at her into the eyes. – "Exactly, what the hell are you doing?!"
*** Music background: Total Eclipse of the heart by Jill Andrews ***
They stay in silence, exchanging gazes. Spencer feels frustrated and she starts pushing Blair…
Blair. – "What are you doing?!"
Spencer huffs. – "I'm pushing you!"
Blair. – "I know… I'm watching you doing it… but why?"
Spencer. – "Why?! WHY?!"
Blair. – "YES WHY?! Why are you pushing me…?!"
Spencer yells. – "Because… because… because…."
Blair. – "Because WHAT?!"
Spencer huffs. – "Arrr! Because it's frustrating!"
Blair. – "What is frustrating?!"
Spencer yells from the heart as she keeps pushing her. – "It's frustrating how I can't stop thinking about you! It's frustrating how much I need to see your face… hear your voice…. feel your touch! It's frustrating how you listen to me the way no one else does! It's frustrating that it's easier to be with you than not! And it's frustrating how when we're together I never want it to end!" (Sighs) "Damn it, you're so frustrating! So, so, so frust-…."
Spencer can't finish her sentence as Blair seals her lips with a kiss. Blair wraps her only free arm around Spencer's waist, pulling Spencer closer to her and she leans for a kiss and she smiles when she finds no resistance from the other brunette; Spencer stop pushing her and she hugs Blair's head and deepens the kiss, and they keep kissing… deeply kissing for a long, long time…
The law of affinity refers to unlikely compositions forming a bond through a purely chemical reaction… friends or lovers… wondering what will be the result of this massive explosive kiss…
(In Rosewood school's pool)
Emily. – "Ok, girls, that's all for today, great job!"
The class finishes and Emily cleans the perimeter, putting everything in place very quickly, it allows her to enjoy the pool for herself. Swimming in that pool alone, it brings back old memories… some of them good, some of them bad… memories… things of the past that you never thought it could slip their way back to the present…
Emily was emerging from the water when someone pushes her head again on water. The brunette waves her arms, she struggles but she can't do anything as someone very strong was trying to drown her…
*** Background music: Dernière dance by Indila ft Black M ***
Paige smirks. – "This feels like a 'déjà vu', isn't, Emily?" (A devious smile) "You know, I've been dying for a payback because you badly hurt me the last time that we saw each other… and it looks that I'm finally having it…" (Vicious voice) "I'm supposed to get from you, Wren's location but I think that I will just say that you didn't cooperate and I had no other option besides drown you… what do you think?!" (Devious laughs)
Alison yells. – "I think that you should think again, PIGSKIN! Because over my dead body you will hurt my WIFE!"
Paige gulps and turns her in direction of the furious blonde, her eyes got bigger of shock when she see Alison's fists fast-approaching her face. Alison punches her and Paige falls on the ground, with blood on her mouth…
Alison says as she's shaking her bloody hand. – "Oh, Pigskin, you're dead! So DEAD!"
Emily emerges from the water and gasps as she's trying to catch her breath, she takes off her goggles and she watches Alison vs Paige…
Emily says with concern. – "ALI!"
Alison was so angry, she could feel her blood boiling of anger; she has never been so mad in her life. From the corner of her eye, she sees Paige's arm begin an upward trajectory, she ducks it and feels her hair ruffling with the force of it.
Alison smirks. – "Is that all you've PIGSKIN?!"
Paige charges with a roar like a bull and she gets out from her pocket a knife…
Emily sees the knife and she jumps out the water as she yells. – "ALI! Watch out!"
Alison gets distracted when she sees Emily out of the water, she's not able to dodge Paige's lunge; Paige throws herself against Alison like a bull and she tackles the blonde, pushing them, both of them, inside the pool…
Emily screams. – "ALI!"
The brunette stays on the edge of the pool, she sees movements under the water and then she panics when she notices the clear water turning red… red of blood…
Emily screams. – "ALI!"
(Emily's narrative)
The dream was this: find my soul mate and get my happily ever after… and I got it… I found love… true love… we built a home… a lovely home and I was happy… I was finally happy because I reached my goal… yeah… we almost have it all… almost… because sometimes having your dreams come true can feel like a nightmare… getting what you want always come with strings attached and even when you think you're finally in the clear… you're never home free and nothing is worse than touching the sky and then fall down to the emptiness… that kind of fall, it beats the hell out of you…
Next: Chapter 66 – It only gets worse… so much worse
