Finally: - Chapter 8

"You don't need to do this, Paige." Ali said trying to Move her neck as far away from the blade as she could. Paige's grip on her arm only tightened.

"Oh, I do and I will."

"Why?" Ali simply asked.

"Because you stole Emily from me." Paige replied as if it was the most obvious reason in the world.

"That can't just be it, there must be a deeper reason." The blonde could see the hesitation in Paige's eye.

"Because I hate you. You ruined my life, and then stole the last good thing that I had left." Paige said looking straight into Ali's eyes. Ali didn't know what to say; she knew people hated her but she never thought that someone would straight up tell her she ruined their life.

"Pigskin; that nickname still haunts me. People still laugh at me when I'm simply walking in the street. I bet you never thought I even tried to commit suicide in high school once?" Ali's jaw dropped; she couldn't believe what she just heard.

"No, you didn't because you are a stone cold, heartless bitch." Paige said as she pressed the blade harder against the blonde's skin.

"Paige, I am so, so, so sorry. Yes, I was a cruel and heartless bitch in high school but I'm not like that anymore."

"I don't believe you!" She said pressing the blade even harder; panic began to rise inside Alison.

"Okay, okay you have the right not to believe me and want to hurt me but why did you have to hurt Emily? I though you cared about her."

"I did… until she declared her love for you. So, I hurt her and as bonus I got to hurt you in the process without even touching you." Paige said with a proud tone in her voice. "And now I'm not only going to hurt you, I'm going to kill you."

Paige took the knife and tried to stab Ali in the neck but the blonde blocked Paige. As they struggled Ali began to get more and more cuts, quickly Alison began to get tired and Paige seemed to get stronger. Suddenly the blade disappeared from Ali's view and a sharp pain struck her stomach, she slowly looked down to see blood slowly streaming out the wound. She looked back up to and saw Paige with a smile on her face. The blonde then collapsed onto the floor as Paige walked away.

The loud bang woke up Emily, she looked behind her to see an empty space where her girlfriend should be.

"Ali?" Emily said as she got out the bed and looked in the bathroom. Nothing. She remembered that the bang seemed to come from downstairs so she quickly rushed downstairs to the dark and quiet living room.

"Alison?" She said as she noticed someone on the kitchen floor, she quickly ran over to the body to find out it was Alison who was severely bleeding.

"Oh, my god." She said as she got up and ran to the front door, she frantically managed to open it and began shouting.

"Help, call an ambulance! Now!" She shouted to the confused police officers. A police officer began to call for an ambulance and another rushed after Emily.

"Stay with me, please." Emily begged as she tried to stop the bleeding. "You can't leave me." She continued as tears began to stream down her face.

After what felt like hours the paramedics finally arrived and took Alison to the hospital. The whole ride to the hospital Alison was unconscious and pale. Emily couldn't believe that she didn't hear anything, how could she have not heard anything?

As she was running with behind the doctors lost in her thoughts someone suddenly stopped her.

"I'm sorry miss but you can't go past this point." A small woman said slightly pushing Emily back.

"Where are, you taking her? I need to go with her!" Emily said frantically trying to get pass the nurse.

"She's going to surgery, the best thing you can do right now is sit down and wait. She's in good hands, I promise." The woman said walking Emily to the waiting room.

The brunette felt as though she had been stabbed in the heart in the heart a million times; she never knew a person could feel so much pain without actually being physically hurt. Tears continued to stream down Emily's face as she paced across the room for hours and hours. Eventually a young doctor came out to talk to the worried brunette.

"Miss Fields?"

"Yes, is she okay?" Emily said barley being able to say the words.

"Yes, she is; we stopped the bleeding and made sure her organs are okay but I think you should know that her heart did stop twice during the surgery."

"Oh, my god." Emily said covering her mouth which opened wide in shock at the statement.

"She's very lucky to be alive. You can go see her, she is in room 208. She's still asleep but should wake up very soon." Emily thanked the doctor and rushed to Alison's room.

She slowly walked in to see a very pale blonde lying in the plain room with beeping machines attached to her. Emily moved closer and sat down in the seat beside her bed, as she held the blondes hand she couldn't help but notice how cold she was. Another tear streamed down her face, she couldn't believe that she wasn't there to protect Ali like she always protected her.

Suddenly the blonde began to open her eyes and Emily sighed in relief; Ali really was okay.

"Hey." Emily quickly said catching the blonde's attention. A faint smile formed on Ali's face as she tried to match the huge one on the brunette's face.

"Hi." The blonde replied as she tried to sit up.

"No, don't move; you'll end up hurting yourself." Emily said quickly.

"Am I going to be okay?"

"Yeah, you will. The doctors checked all your organs and stopped the bleeding but uh when you were in surgery your heart stopped twice. The doctor said that you are really lucky." Alison couldn't believe what she just heard.

"Wow. Did they catch Paige?"

"Yeah, they caught her trying to run away about a mile from your house." Alison sighed with relief; it was all finally over. Once again, they were safe and free from their tormentor.

"Did she tell you why she did all of this?" Emily asked quietly. Ali nodded.

"She said it was because I ruined her life and took the last good thing she had which was you."

"Then why did she hurt me?" Emily asked with a confused tone.

"Because you told me you loved me. Hurting you was a way at getting back at you for that."

"Wow, how did I not see this side of her?" Emily began to question everything about Paige and the relationship she had with her.

"No one saw this side of her but it's all over." Ali said with a smile.
