A/N; Hi guys, hoped you enjoyed the last chapter and thank you for the reviews! I wish I could answer them all but I'm writing two stories at the time and I'm really busy so I don't have time to but to the guest who asked if I meant LA instead of California because California is not a city; I meant to write 'cities' instead of 'city' sorry about the mistake.

The day had come. As Emily got ready dread filled her. Can you imagine the love of your life marrying someone else? Yeah, neither could she but it was happening. She hated how she could never bring herself to tell the blonde that she loved her but it was hard for her and she couldn't ruin her future; she seems happy with Elliott and if marrying him is what she wants she knows she is going to have to accept it.

Alison's back garden looked beautiful; small round tables were set up all around with beautiful small bouquets of her favourite flowers, fairly lights hung on the fences and trees and photos of her and Elliott were under them. Alison looked genuinely looked happy with him; Emily knew she should be happy for her but it felt as though someone was repeatedly stabbing her in heart each time she sees them or thinks about them.

"Em, finally! And I thought I take years to get ready." Hanna said as Emily walked over to the girls table; she gave her a goofy smile and which Hanna smiled back.

During the time that they waited for the happy couple Hanna kept a close eye on Emily; she knew everything. Even though Emily never admitted to her that she still loves Alison, Hanna could tell and she could see how much it hurt her when Alison spoke about Elliott. The brunette seemed nervous, like she didn't know how she would react when they show up together; her eyes wondered all over the garden patiently waiting and preparing herself.

Then the moment that she dreaded came; Alison and Elliott walked in hand in hand with big smiles on their faces whilst everyone cheered. Emily couldn't even bare to look at them; she thought she could get through this but it was becoming clear that she was wrong.

"Thank you everyone for coming, we are beyond happy to be sharing this amazing experience with you." Elliott said proudly; Alison just looked at him and smiled. "Enjoy the party guys!" he continued; Emily began hating him and his amazing English accent even more.

The couple began going around everyone and saying hi; this was Emily's chance to escape but before she could even move Alison and Elliott arrived at their table.

"Once again congratulations guys." Aria said with a huge smile on her face as she rubbed her small baby bump. The girls smiled and nodded in agreement; Emily tried her best to look happy for them but she wasn't sure it was working.

When Alison looked over at Emily her mood began to change; the thoughts and feelings that had been bothering her ever since Emily came back kept pouring out in her brain. She couldn't help but think that maybe she shouldn't get married but then when she looked over at Elliott he was so happy; how could she just leave him like that? The answer she gave herself was she couldn't. However, she still questioned her feelings for; did she really love him in that way?

When Emily left, Alison boxed up her feelings and tried to move on but it was hard because the feelings she had for the beautiful brunette were the strongest she had ever felt for anyone. When she met Elliott at The Brew one evening she realised it was her chance to move on and then eventually she began developing feelings for him. She didn't know if she loved him but when he told her that he did on impulse she told him that she loved him back because she didn't want to hurt him. Ever since she began telling herself that she did love him; that she loved him enough to move in with him and eventually that she loved him enough to marry him and spend the rest of her life with him.

Once the two left Emily walked over to the small bar and grabbed the strongest drink they had; Hanna of course followed her best friend.

"You okay?" Hanna asked quietly as Emily downed the drink within seconds.

"Yup."

"Don't lie to me, Em. I know how you feel about her- "Emily looked down at her feet. "I know this hurts you."

"I'm trying to be happy for her- "Emily said as she took another drink. "But I just can't be, I hate this and I hate him. I just… I love her so much and she's happy with someone else." Tears began to blur Emily's vision.

"I know you do and usually my advice would be to tell her how you feel but I think we both know you can't do that. Em, the only thing I can say is don't do anything stupid that you might regret later on. Maybe you should distance yourself a bit from Ali until the wedding?" Hanna said as she tried to get the brunette to look in her eyes.

"No, I need to face this and get over it."

"Okay, just promise me that you'll talk to me more about this; keeping it to yourself will only make it worse."

"I promise." Hanna smiled at Emily but Emily just couldn't bring herself to smile back. "I think I'm going to go home, if Alison asks just make something up please." The blonde nodded and with that Emily left. When she walked out of the garden she found Alison sitting by herself on the steps of her front porch. The blonde noticed her and seemed to wipe away a tear.

"Leaving already? Is the party that bad?" Ali asked with a slight giggle.

"No, I'm just not feeling well." The brunette said as she sat down beside the blonde. "Ali, are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine."

"The smudged mascara is telling me something different." Ali quickly began to wipe her eyes. "What's wrong?"

"It's just Elliott, we got into a bit of a fight."

"Over what?"

"The party and the wedding, he said that I seem to not want all of this." Alison said as she looked down at her lap and played with her hands.

"Do you?" Emily prayed that the answer is no and as mean as that sounds, she wanted Alison to be the happiest she has ever been and she knew that she could feel that way with Emily.

"What?"

"Do you want all of this?" Alison paused and carefully thought about her answer. The blonde wanted to get married, she always had; ever since she was little she began imagining and planning her perfect wedding. So, the answer seemed to be yes. Even if it didn't exactly feel right to be marrying Elliott but she figured there would always be a part of her that is hesitant about it.

As the words left Alison's mouth it felt as though Emily's heart had been ripped out of her chest and torn into pieces.

"Then tell him that, show him that you do want all of this." The blonde became sad by those words; there was a huge part of her that wanted Emily to confess her love for her so that they could live happily ever after but she didn't; instead she gave her good advice like any good friend would. The thing is though, Emily wanted to confess her feelings for Alison so badly but if this was what the blonde wanted she had to respect that and be a good friend.

"I will, thanks." Alison said with a sad smile as she got up and left; neither of them could be around each other right now because they both new it wouldn't end well; one of them would get hurt. But oh, what could have been if they actually knew they both felt the same way about each other? I guess we won't know.
