MARLENE KING OWNS PRETTY LITTLE LIARS

Chapter 5: The Wrath of A

Alison's POV:

I got in the passenger seat next to Emily, she had picked me up that morning saying that she'd drop me off at school. I sneak my eyes towards her and Emily driving is really hot, well, everything Emily does is hot. It kind of turns me on.

God Alison, get a grip.

I felt my phone vibrate in my hands. I look down at my screen saver and I see an old picture of Emily and I with our faces pressed together at the park, a frozen yogurt that we were sharing in our hands, smiling like there was no care in the world. But then I notice the message and my smile drops.

I know your secret. So if you want to keep your little girl crush safe, break it up before it's to late. - A

I stared at the screen in shock. Why can't A just let us a a semi normal life.

"Ali, are you alright?" Emily asked, taking her eyes off the rode for a split second to look into mine. I was to dazed by her warm brown eyes to respond.

"What?"

"I said, are you alright? You look pretty shaken, was it from A?" I couldn't tell her the truth, A could hurt her.

"Yeah I'm fine, it was from my dad. He's staying an extra night in Syracuse, he missed his flight." I lied. For what seems like the first time ever, I actually feel ashamed of lying to her. I know how much she hates it.

"You can stay with me so you don't have to go home to an empty house." Emily offered. I noticed a slight sign of blush creeping up her cheeks. I love her blush, I love her.

I love her.

I almost passed out, this is the first time I've admitted to myself that I actually love her. I'm in love with Emily Fields.

This is crazy. Crazy in a wonderful, magnificent, brilliant way of course.

Completely forgetting about everything, I leaned forward and pressed a feather like kiss to her plump lips. Emily stared at me in shock. I smiled at her before looking out the window.

My heart fell. A's threat.

I just kissed Emily! How could I be so stupid, what if A saw?

I turned my head to the side and saw Emily biting her lip, a habit she had picked up whenever she was thinking about something. That kiss was a stupid idea, A could have seen us and Emily is probably more confused than ever right now.

I suddenly feel a strong hand on my stomach, pushing me backwards into the seat, fingers digging into my flesh in fear. I look up at her frightened expression and I follow her eyes to the car moving towards us.

It felt like everything was in slow motion. My mind hasn't had time to understand what was happening, in a second I was able to get a look at Emily's face for one last time.

Bang.

Before I could react I felt excruciating pain ripple through me. Pieces of glass cutting through my fragile skin, burning into my veins. The airbag felt like it was suffocating me and the weight of Emily's broken chair was on top of me. My eyelids became heavy and I knew I was going to blackout any second now but I managed to look over at a lifeless Emily, the scene killed me so I decided to close my eyes.

Darkness swept upon my defunct body.

Different sounds were ringing in my head and it made me nauseous. I tried to clamp my hands over my ears but I couldn't move. The ringing got louder and louder until it started to form into different sounds, different voices.

I tried moving my head but it hurt to much, so after numerous amount of times trying that I gave up. I forced my eyes open but to only see blurry images of people frantically running around me, pointing weird machines in my face. I felt my body being picked up from the cold ground, carried up and laid onto something. Emily's face flew across my mind and I was once again imprisoned by darkness.

"Alison, honey are you awake?" The voice was soothingly calm so I forced my eyes open to find a blurry figure of my father standing over me. Eventually my eyes focused on my father and my vision came back to me.

His hair, well lack of it, was tousled up and his eyes were puffy and red from crying. How long have I been out? The last thing I remember is driving in the ambulance. What the hell happened?

"Dad? Wha-" I didn't even get to finish my sentence before he pulled me into a tight hug, kissing the top of my blonde curls.

"You're safe now sweetie, I promise." Dad gave me a small smile, patting my hair down.

"What happened? How long have I been unconscious?" I've clearly been in an accident but I can't remember what kind of accident.

"You've been unconscious for about two days," Dad looked at me with sympathetic eyes, "There was a car crash."

Car crash. My mind flashed back to the events and I froze. I remember the pain, the cold ground, the speeding car-

I remember Emily.

My head hurts. Thinking about her hurts.

"Is she okay? Where is she, I need to see her." I started getting out of the hospital bed but right when I got on my feet my dad pushed me lightly back. Just let me fucking see her!

"Alison, Emily's injuries were more.. Servere than yours," He looked at me with a pained expression, "I'm sorry but she's in a coma."

My mind shut down. Emily, the girl I love, is in a coma and I can't do anything about it. This is my fault, I did this to her, I might have killed her. The agonizing information processed my mind and anger exploded out of me, anger directed towards myself.

"No! She shouldn't be there, it should be me!" I screamed, running out the room looking for any sign of Emily in the hospital. I heard my dad running after me but I kept running, not looking back until I finally broke down, realizing that Emily might not ever wake up. And it's my fault.

I pounded my fist on the walls, crying frantically. A couple of hands grabbed me by the waist and dragged me back towards my room. Why won't they let me see Emily, I need to see her, I crave it!

"Alison you need to calm down, the doctors did everything they could, now we just have to wait." My dad said, putting me down on the hospital bed again. The doctors came in.

"Why are you here treating me? I'm fine, you should focus on Emily!" I yell at the doctor who was standing the closest to me

"Sweetie, we are doing the best we can but you have to rest for another day, you hit your head pretty hard and got a couple of bad bruises." I've hit my head badly before, plenty of times actually.

The doctors checked my vitals and stuck some needles in my arms but eventually they left.

"Your friends are here, do you want me to send them in?" Dad asked, but I just nodded knowing that if I opened my mouth I would throw a fit again. Three panicking girls came rushing in and my dad left.

"Ali, oh my god, are you okay?" Aria asked, fixing my blanket.

"I'm fine, but Emily isn't!" I snapped. They all looked down at their feet and I could see fresh tears running down their cheeks. I started crying hysterically again.

The girls looked up at me with a pained expression mixed with surprise, I guess they didn't think I could be so vulnerable or so caring. But what they don't know is that the person I love is in a coma, hanging on to life as good as she can. Spencer came over and squeezed my hand.

"What happened, we heard it was a car crash." Hanna asked.

I just stared ahead, emotionless. I couldn't get the words out, I didn't want to remember the worst moment in my life all over again. But I had to. I swallowed heavily and closed my eyes, feeling tears run down my cheeks. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a pool of water underneath me right now.

"Uh, we were driving to-" I swallowed back a pained scream, starring directly at them, "To school, but on our way a car came out of nowhere and- and hit us." The girls gave me a each a tight reassuring hug.

"She's going to be fine, Ali." Spencer said and I forced a small smile.

"Yeah Spencer's right, Emily's strong, she'll pull through." Hanna said giving me a small smile.

After about 40 minutes of talking the girls left to let me rest, but honestly, that was the last thing it felt like I could do. Even though I was completely worn out.

When my eyes were almost shut I heard my phone go off. I cringed into the blankets so they were covering most of my face and I laid there for a minute, dreading what was behind that little screen. Eventually curiosity got the best of me and I reached over to my phone, I took a deep breath and stared at the screen.

Looks like the wrath of A got in the way, don't test me next time, Bitch! - A

I sat unmoving for a couple of minutes with tears slowly climbing their way down to my chin. A tried to kill Emily, and it was because I had to fucking kiss her. I turned around, pulling the covers over my face, letting them get soaked by my tears as I cried myself to sleep.

I know you can pull through Em, you're stronger than this. You're stronger than anyone I know.
