Emily POV

The rest of the week passed by relatively fast to my disappointment. Until it was the most dreaded day of Noel's party. I was sitting in my room strumming some melodies on my guitar when my phone started to ring.

"Hello" I answered not looking at who was calling.

"Hey Em, I was wondering if you wanted to come by to get ready for the party tonight." The soft pleasing voice that answered was one I could never forget.

"Hey Ali" I said as a soft smile developed on my face. I turned my attention to the clock in my room that showed it was only 11:00am. "You do realize we have like 9 hours until the party actually starts." I said in playfully mocking voice.

Her beautiful laugh sounded over the phone "Yes, I know but you can't fault me for wanting to spend a little time with you. We haven't hung out just the two of us in a while."

I swear my heart stopped beating until I felt a burning sensation in my lungs and remembered that as a human being I needed air to survive and took a deep breath. "Em, you there?" I heard her ask. "Ye-ye-yeah" came out in a squeaky voice until I coughed a few times and answered more confidently. Well at least in a less squeaky voice "Yeah, sorry something got stuck in my throat and yeah I miss hanging out just the two of us too. I'll be around in like thirty minutes. Is that ok?" Biting my lips trying to hold in the excited squeal that wanted to be released.

"Yeah, that perfect see you then." She said before hanging up.

I jumped onto my bed and started a jumping, spinning running man concoction. Until I turned around and saw my mom standing there with the clean and folded laundry. Any other time I would have come up with some type of excuse, but I was too happy to do so. I just hopped off my bed and looked at her sheepishly.

"I don't want to know." My mother said giving me a strange look before heading over my dresser to put my clothes in. Before she put everything in I took a pair of ripped skinny jeans I remembered looking flattering on me, and my favorite shirt that went perfectly with my black leather jacket. I then ran full speed into the bathroom. I showered and dressed. When I returned to my room I found my mom sitting at the end of my bed holding the picture of my dad I kept on my night stand.

"Mom." I asked softly to not startle her. When she looked up I saw she had tears in her eyes. I went and hugged her.

"It's ok mom. I miss him too. He'll be home soon we just have to be patient." She just smiled at me and looked around until her gaze landed on my guitar. She laughed. "You know, when we were younger I thought I was going to have to be the wife of a rock star. Your father loved to sing. I just couldn't see myself wearing tight leather pants and watching him on stage." She said causing me to burst out in a fit of laughter. I could never see MY mother the wife of a rock star. Maybe in some really messed up alternative universe. I shudder at the thought of her wearing anything tight.

"Thankfully that didn't happen. Though at times like this I would gladly switch just to have some time with your father." She said with a sad voice.

"I know mom. Me too." We hugged once more before she got up to leave, but stopped at the door and turned around to me.

"You wouldn't guess who I ran into at the supermarket" She said.

"Who?" I asked while putting on my shoes. Then heading for my leather jacket.

"Ben and his mother. You want to know what he told me." She said a little tensely.

"I don't know. What did he tell you?" I asked innocently. I knew exactly what that bastard told her. But something tells me he forgot to add his rapist tendencies.

"He said he's heartbroken over the break-up and wish you would just listen and take him back so he could treat you the way you deserve to be treated." She said.

We were having such a nice mother daughter moment just a minute ago. I sighed picked up my bag and walked around my mother before saying ''Mom it's over. I don't like Ben. Not as a boyfriend not even as a person. I'll be at Ali's and then were spending the night at Spencer's. Bye." I didn't wait for a response, headed out the door to my car and drove off.

Once I reached Alison's house I felt all the frustration I had at my mother disappear. I ringed the bell and was surprised how fast Alison answered the door. It must have showed on my face because she responded. "I had nothing to do so I waited for you come on let's go to my room." She took my hand and began to pull me up the stairs though I was too focused on the way her hand fit perfectly in mine.

Once we reached her room she let go of my hand and I sat in her desk chair while she took the bed. That's when I finally noticed what she was wearing. A pair of tight fitted jeans that showed of her nicely rounded STOP. I tried to look up to take my mind off how well her jeans only to be distracted by her low and I mean low V-neck. My palms became extremely sweaty and my leather jacket started to feel like a furnace.

"Em are you ok? You look a little flushed." She asked as she walked over to me and felt my face.

"I'm f-f-f-fi-ne. Just a little parched." I said trying to stop the trebling in my voice. She smiled a told me she'd be back with a bottle of water.

Ok Emily breathe. Just because you're at Alison's house alone. With no one able to interrupt and her looking more than scrumptious. Whoa there. Breathe. In-out-in-out. I jumped when I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned around to find Alison's worried eyes looking into mine. "Are you sure you're ok?" She asked.

"Yeah fine. Just a bit hot." In more ways than one I thought to myself.

"Why don't you take off your jacket?" Alison said as she put the drinks down and started to pull on my leather jacket. I took off my jacket and began to feel better until my brain started to think of all the other clothes Alison could help me take off and how I could help her in return. I snatched the water off the desk and chugged it down. Alison gave me her renowned eyebrow lift to which I answered with a sheepish smile.

She sat back on her bed so she leaning on the headboard and patted the spot next to her. I gulped before slipping off my shoes and joining her.

"So how has life been?" She asked as she took a magazine on her bed and started flip through it.

"It's been hectic. Coach seems to think I'm the only player on the team and my mom is constantly nagging me to get back with Ben even though I tell that I don't want to. I miss my dad. I just feel I he was here everything wouldn't seem so bleak." I ended with a sigh. Alison grabbed my hand in hers and began playing with my fingers before she responded.

"Well, your coach is a bitch and you should tell her to go fuck herself because if you weren't on the team they would have never made it past the first meet. If you don't want to be with Ben then don't. No matter what your mom says your happiness counts more than hers. Though you never did tell me why you broke up." She looked at me, but I said nothing. She gave me a look that said she would get it out of me one way or another before she continued. "And as for you missing your dad, well that's completely normal. Your dad is amazing and if he was my dad I'd miss him a lot too." She finished with a small smile.

There she was. The girl no one else knew. The girl that was hidden by the layers of carefully placed deceit. The girl I loved.

"Thanks Ali that means a lot." I said as a large smile appeared on my face. I looked into her eyes and found myself lost in the depths of blue. A golden lock fell in her face obscuring my view of her blue depths and before I could fathom it my hand reached up and placed the lock behind her ear then rested itself on her cheek. My thumb moving on its own accord as it gently rubbed the smooth skin under it. She leaned into my touch. My gaze then shifted to her pink lips. I felt myself lean in closer as saw her do the same. Our lips had the barest of touches before Ali's bedroom door opened. We jumped apart and I saw Ali quickly pick up her magazine pretending she had been reading the whole time.

I looked up and saw Hanna looking at me with a raised eyebrow. I just looked at her. Before I could make any movement Aria and Spencer came through the door.

"Hanna don't just stand in the doorway." Said Spencer as she pushed her way inside the room.

Finally finding my voice I said "What are you guys doing here so early?"

They all gave me strange looks and Spencer responded "We said we'd meet at 2:00 and its 2:00 so here we are." I looked over and saw she was right. Damn how long was I looking into Alison's eyes? I looked over at her and found her with a bored expression on her face before she got up and said "Well let's get started we don't want to show up looking hideous. That means nothing from your wardrobe Aria." Well there's the mask again. I sighed got up and began a conversation with Aria before she got it in her head to kill Alison. Based on the look she was giving her it wouldn't be long.

"Aria what are you doing here I thought you had a date with Mr-Ezra." I caught myself still needing to get used to calling him that.

"The principle decided the teachers needed to come in for some type of teachers' development. It's from 8:00am-10:00pm. He said I should go with you guys and have fun at the party." I nodded and was soon ushered off by Hanna as we all started our party ritual. First was hair and makeup then was the trying on of all the dresses Ali owned which was quite a lot. By the time we finished hours had passed and we were finally ready to go to the party. If Alison looked scrumptious earlier she looked fucking beautiful now in her black thigh length dressed. She had makeup on though not enough to overshadow her natural beauty. Damn. The bell rung knocking me out of my thoughts. We all headed downstairs to see who it was. It was then that I remembered why I didn't want to go to the party in the first place.

Noel fucking Kahn was at the door with a single rose. Alison gazed back at me with undistinguishable look before going over to Noel and hugging him taking the rose as she pulled away from his hand. Noel for his part could not keep his disgusting lecherous eyes from wandering Alison's body.

"Damn Ali you look hot." Said Noel. Correction I thought, she looked fucking beautiful.

"Come on I can't be late to my own party. See you guys there." He said as he took Alison's hand and walked away. I looked over and caught Hanna's eye she gave me a small smile before saying come on guys "Toby and Caleb are already there let's get going."

We all hopped into Spencer's car as she assigned herself the designated driver for the night. Once we reached Noel's cabin we saw the party was in full blast. With smiles on our faces we went in and Hanna immediately pulled me onto the dance floor and that's how we spent most of the night. Though I mostly danced with Aria seeing as she was by herself and we didn't want to get between the two couples too much. I constantly looked around for Alison, but didn't see any sign of her. We were tired of dancing and found a corner to rest or for "Haleb" and "Spoby" a suitable place to make out.

I just shook my head before turning to Aria and asked "would you like a drink?" She nodded and thanked me. I got two cold beers and was on my way back when I spotted them. Alison and Noel heavily making out on a wall as he grinded himself on her. The duct tape that was holding my heart together fell off as my heart dropped to my stomach and shattered. I took the beers and went outside and began to chug. When they were both finished I went inside and found a bottle of tequila. Perfect.

I went outside and kept drinking until there was nothing left in the bottle. I laughed because as I turned the bottle upside down how a boat could fit in it and how the people on the boat would react to be turned upside down. Once I stopped laughing I picked myself up only to find myself hold onto a fist full of grass. That's not right. I tried get up again, but this time fell on my ass. Closer than before thought. Until I finally grabbed onto something or someone I really don't know or care and began to head inside.

Everything was pumping and moving so fast. Until someone pulled me on the dance floor. I tried to keep up, but kept tripping over myself and who ever I was dancing with. Until I finally gave up and just stood there swaying and laughing. The world was spinning until it finally stopped on a small familiar person.

"ARIA!" I screamed giving her a big hug.

"Em, where have you been we have been looking everywhere for you." She said as she tried to steady me. "Wow ok your drunk." She looked back at Hanna for help Hanna came and grabbed my other arm.

"I'm not drunk." I said as I turned to her my finger in her face as I swayed. "Well maybe a little." I admitted before bursting out into laughter.

"Wow drunk Emmy is a happy one." Hanna laughed as she tried to guide me out of the party. I just turned to her and hugged her before saying "You're such a good friend. You're my bestest friend in the world I love you." I then turned to Aria and Spencer and said the same thing pulling them all into a three way hug.

"We love you to Emmy. Come on let's go to the car and talk about how much we care for each other." I nodded at Hanna and allowed her to take me to the car. Just as we were about to get. Alison made her appearance. She looked at me and smiled saying "Looks like our little killer has had a little too much to drink." I just looked at her for a second before turning my back to her and getting into the car laying down. My eyes felt heavy so I closed it couldn't have been a second later that Hanna was waking me up telling me we were there.

"Come one Em. Get up." She said as she tried to pull me up. I just shook my head. She growled. I felt a pair of hands pull me again though I knew it wasn't Hanna's seeing as her hands never sent a chill down my back.

"Come on please." I looked up into Alison's eyes. Stupid fucking blue eyes that trap a person never letting them go. I felt my anger slowly begin to dissipate.

"Stupid fucking blue eyes." I muttered though I could have sworn I saw a small smile on Alison's face.

"You guys head inside I'll get her ready for bed. Spence we'll take the guest room." They all agreed. Alison slowly pulled me up to the bathroom and sat me on the toilet seat. I was in a daze as she rushed around to quickly for my mind to recognize what she was doing. I heard something spraying, but didn't know what it was.

"Ok Em I turned the shower on and have gotten your clothes ready. Do you think you'll be able to shower?" I just gave her a reproachful look before nodding. She gave me a small smile and left the bathroom. I ran my hand through my hair and discarded my clothes before hopping in the shower. I literally hopped in the shower and almost died wondering why so many people hop in showers if it was dangerous. The rest of the shower was a daze as was getting dressed. When I finally done I exited the bathroom to find Alison standing there.

She took my arm and guided me towards the bedroom. I soon found myself laying down under the covers and felt Alison get in next to me. I turned myself to make sure I wasn't facing her.

"Em, what's wrong?" She softly asked me after a while. I said nothing. I felt a pressure on my shoulder as she rolled me over so I was facing the ceiling. I kept my eyes forward not daring a glance at her.

"Em, please just tell me." She said.

"I saw you and Noel Kissing." I said with disgust.

"Why wou—." She started

"You fucking know why Alison. And that's the worst part because you have to know." I said shaking my head.

"Know what?" She said turning my face so that I was looking into her eyes.

"Know that I fucking love you." I said turning my body fully towards her. "Know that you're all I fucking think about. That I hate myself for loving someone who will never love me back. That whenever I see you I get so lost in your eyes everything else seems non-existent. That all I dream about is day that I'll finally be able to kiss you." I finish off in a whisper. I couldn't see Alison properly through the tears in my eyes. Fuck it. I grabbed the back of her head and smashed her lips to mine. Perfection.

I kissed her hungrily and to my surprise she was kissing me back just as eagerly. I rolled and found myself on top of her as I continued to devour her mouth. I felt as if I was in the desert for years and finally found water to quench my needing thirst. She gasped for air and I used this moment to thrust my tongue into her mouth. As soon as our tongues met a loud moan enveloped the room. Though I couldn't tell who it came from, I suspect both of us. My mouth soon traveled from her mouth to her beautiful neck and started attacking it with kisses and bits. My hips acted on their own as they began to grind themselves into Alison. She let out a load moan before putting her hands on my shoulders signaling me to stop.

As I looked down at her I was met with the sexiest sight I've ever seen. She was breathless. Her mouth was swollen and meaty red from kissing. Her hair was disheveled and she had pink stains all over her neck. I was going to go back for more, but her hands were firmly on my shoulders.

"Em we have to stop." She said through pants. I looked at her before rolling off her.

"Em wha-." She started but couldn't seem to find the words.

"I just thought you should know." I said as I rolled to my side of the bed closing my eyes allowing the darkness to take over.

The next morning I woke up feeling as if a truck had run over my head. Where was I? I looked and saw the familiar wall paper of Spencer's guest room. How did I get here? I slowly got up and was trying to work through the blur that was last night when a voice interrupted my thoughts.

"Here." Alison said handing me Advil and a water bottle. I thanked her before taking the pill.

"What happened last night?" I asked. She looked at me with a vacant expression.

"You don't remember?" She asked eyeing me up and down.

"No, did something happen. Please tell me I didn't make a fool out of myself." I said looking at her. She moved over to where I was sitting. She laid her hand on my cheek. I couldn't help but lean into her embrace. She turned my head so I was looking directly into her eyes.

"Trust me Em, you didn't do anything foolish or embarrassing last night. Never forget that" She gave me a smile and a look I couldn't decipher. Before I could further question her she kissed me on the forehead and went out the room. I stared at the spot she had just left.

"What the fuck happened last night?"
