Emily wasn't quite sure what to do. She had been standing at the club that Alison had dragged her to for the past hour alone. Alison had gone off with her boyfriend, Noel Kahn. They were probably hooking up behind the bins outside. Ugh. Boyfriend. Emily hated that. She hated that Noel flipping Kahn was Alison's boyfriend. She had loved Alison since she was 13 and this stupid boy comes along for 5 minutes and they are already dating.
Suddenly, when Emily was about to give up all hope and leave without Alison, she saw her over the other side of the room. She had a large bottle of wine in her hand, which was only about a ΒΌ full. Emily thought Alison looked amazing tonight. She was wearing a tight red dress with sparkling black high heels. Noel Kahn was nowhere in sight and she was heading to the bathroom.
"Ali?" Emily called "Are you ok?" But the music was too loud for anyone to hear anything at that point. Emily could barely hear her own thoughts. Doubting for a minute, she pushed pass the crowd and headed to the bathroom.
As she entered the room, Alison was standing by the mirror.
"Ali?" Emily said "Ali, are you ok?" Alison quickly turned around, swaying the bottle in her hand.
"Emily!" She said "I-I didn't see you there. How nice of you to-to join me"
Yup, she was drunk.
"Ali, is everything okay?" Emily asked, taking a step further towards her.
"My life" Alison moaned, giggling "Sucks! Sucks with a capital Ssssss"
"Why? Emily asked, noticing the bottle was slipping out of the drunk girl's hand "Here, let me help you with that" she took the bottle from Alison and put it on the side of the sink.
"I just caught my BOYFRIEND" Alison started explaining "Making out with another girl" Emily gasped a little.
"Oh Ali, that's terrible!" she said "I'm so sorry. So, are you guys...?"
"I have nothing left, Emily" she laughed "Nobody"
"You have me" Emily tried to reassure, rubbing her arm. Alison shook her head.
"No I don't" she said "I pushed you away. I pushed you away for a stuuupid frat boy. God, I'm so stuuuuuupid"
"Ali, your not stu-"
"Did I mention" Alison continued "That I'm stupid? I had a genuinely nice person who was IN LOVE with me. And-and-and I pushed that person away because-because I was scared" Emily sighed and scratched the back of her arm.
"Ali" she said "That's all over now, okay? Listen, you'll find someone soon. Yo-"
"But but but" Alison argued "I don't WANT any old person. I want YOU" she put her sweaty hand on Emily's shoulder.
"Ali, your drunk" Emily sighed "Look, come with me. I'll drive, I'll get yo-"
"EMILY" Alison protested when she tried to lead her out the bathroom "Don't you-you get it? I LOVE you. In-in fact, I don't love you. I'm IN love with you"
"Ali stop" Emily said, still trying to convince herself it was the drinks talking "Your really, really drunk"
"I'm not THAT drunk" Alison argued, before slipping on wine and falling flat on the floor.
"Oh my, Ali are you okay?" Emily rushed down and sat next to Alison, who had shuffled back to the wall and had her head in her hands.
"I'm fine" she lied "Emily, why don't you believe me?" She asked, a single tear falling from her eye "I'm just not brave enough to tell you this when I'm sober" Emily wiped the tear from her eye with her shirt.
"Ali" she started "I told you how I felt a few years ago, and you said-"
"Can we pleeeease skip the part where you try and convince yourself you have some self respect now, and that you will not go crying back to me after I made you feel like shit because you are a changed person who will not be pushed around like a doll because I REALLY don't have time for that"
Emily laughed a little-Alison knew her so well.
"Okay" she said, almost silently.
"Now" Alison bit her tongue "Kiss me"
"Alison, I can't just..."
"EMILY CATHERINE FIELDS" Alison stopped her "Pleeeease just kiss me" she wrapped her arms tight around Emily's shoulder and rested her head on her shoulder, looking at the side of her head with a smirk on her face.
"Ali, I really can't. Your drunk. You probably won't even remember this in the morning and-"
"Kiss me"
Emily had a moment of doubt. She glanced over at Alison's smirking face, and gently pecked her on the lips.
"There" she said "Now, can we go home?"
"Nope" Alison giggled, running her fingers through Emily's dark wavy hair "Not good enough. Do it again"
Emily really didn't want to be doing this. She thought over the years, she had gained some self respect. She wasn't going to go crying back to Alison. But she glanced at Alison's lips, then at her eyes, and closed the gap between them. Immediately, Alison being drunk, she opened her mouth for Emily's tongue to enter. Her lips tasted of wine and cherry chap stick and although it may not sound like the nicest thing in the world, Emily thought it was absolutely wonderful
"Emily" Alison whispered "How long have you loved me"
"F-five years" Emily nervously admitted. Alison smiled
"Do you still love me?" she asked. Emily gulped. She tried so hard not to be in love with Alison-she really did. But it was hard when she spent every single day with her. Watching her smile and laugh, watching her tell jokes. She even loved listening to her rambling on about Noel. There was no denying it-Emily Fields was hopelessly in love with Alison Dilaurentis.
"Yes" she replied honestly. Alison smiled. Emily could have sword she saw her eyes glimmer a little.
"I'm so drunk, aren't I" Alison admitted. Emily laughed along with her.
"Yes" she replied "Want me to take you home?"
"I-I don't wanna be home" she slurred "Can I stay at yours?" Emily nodded her head.
"Sure you can. Here, let me help you up" she stood up and grabbed Alison's hand, trying to pull her up.
"I can't" Alison giggled "I'm toooo drunk. And I hurt my foot. Carry meeee" Emily rolled her eyes. She bent down and lifted Alison onto her back, before slowly walking out the bathroom.
"Your hair smells good" Alison shouted over the music "You smell good". Emily blushed at Alison's compliments...still.
20 minutes later, they burst through the door of Emily's bedroom. Emily tiredly slipped Alison off of her back. Her back was now completely killing her, but it was well worth it to carry Alison home.
"Need something to sleep in?" Emily asked, pulling Alison's heels off of her feet.
"Yessss" Alison replied "Something of yours". Emily smirked and threw her a baggy top and some shorts, which Alison decided to change into directly in front of Emily's eyes.
"Like what you see?" she smirked. Emily opened her mouth to try and speak, but just ended up laughing.
"Alright then" Emily tucked Alison in under the sheets "Get some rest"
"Emily" Alison muffled "Sleep here" Emily blushed.
"Sure" she said, tucking down next to Alison and wrapped her arm around the blonde girl's head.
"Emily?" Alison whispered, snuggling in closer and draping a leg over her torso.
"Yeah?" Emily yawned
"I love you" Emily kissed Alison's forehead as she dozed off to sleep.
"I love you too"
