Chapter 12

Paige POV

I walked with Alison I just follow her and didn't say a word.

"Are you always like this?" Alison asked out of nowhere.

"Always what?" I look at her in confusion.

"Always this walking contradiction, you said you don't like me but then you help me I didn't even ask for it" she said then she looked at my direction. When our eyes meet I just averted my gaze to the ground then put my hands on my pocket.

"I don't know I just did it" I answered in soft voice I really don't know the answer to that question. Yes I don't like her attitude. Alison is a person with this so many mask that she wears in front of different people. I don't know if it's just for the career or just to look good in others point of view. But I like the fact that she is not using any of that masks on me, not all the time I guess.

"How about you? Why are you hiding the real Alison Dilaurentis in front of the public?" I asked her with a smile I thought she will not take the question seriously but.

"No one will like me if they start to see the real me" She said nonchalantly

"So you'll just fool them and act like someone else for them to like you?" I asked her coolly

"Why, If I show you the real me do you think you will care enough for me?" she stopped on her tracks then look at me.

"Well I don't know but I guess, I'd rather experience the real one than like the fake you" Then I smiled at her.

"You are, really, always, like this" She mumbled then I look at her again to ask what's with the like this partthen our gaze meet. Then I decided to drop that questioning.

"I think I'm seeing the real you at least for now and I'm really loving it" I said to her. It is really what I felt at this moment. Alison is being herself and letting me see the true side of her.

She came closer to my face then whispered something into my ears

"You know, you don't need to tell me you love it just show it." She said it eductively and I freeze at her words.

I guess I'm slightly wrong she still want to play her games. Sometimes I think Alison have this split personality. She acts like an adult sometimes and acts like a child in an instant sometimes.

"You're really weird" then I shake my head but I have this smile on my face. Then suddenly Alison hugged me

"I don't know if I want you to stop acting like this or what" she said while she is holds me in her arms. After a few seconds she let go of me.

"I don't want to add up to what is about to happen. " She continued then leaves me with her signature grin again after that she walks towards the brew and I start to walk still confused top what she is saying. Alison Dilaurentis is the epitome of conundrum.

Emily POV

This is a really long day for me. I don't need to be anywhere else so I decided to take some detour before I go to our house. It is really cold outside during the nights. I take my time on walking aimlessly under the beautiful sky when I hear someone sobbing somewhere near me. So I looked around to find where the sound is coming from. Then I saw someone sitting on the gutter.

"Are you okay? You know it is better if you let it out?" I approached the girl sitting there I can't see her face because she is resting her head on her hands. She didn't look up yet I hand her my handkerchief then I sit beside her. She stopped crying but I can still hear her sob.

I just sit there besides her looking up at the sky. I believe that sometimes all you need to have is someone besides you when everything goes wrong and that's what will I do for this person. I still didn't see her face but I feel at ease with her.

"Thanks Em" When I hear the person beside me say it my face turns 50 shades of red. I didn't know that the person I'm with now is her. Oh my god what should I do? What if she feels awkward with me after this then she will start to distance herself from me?

"Ahmm Hanna I didn't notice it was you w-what happen?" I asked her when she also looked up at the sky. We are filled with silence for a few minutes.

"You know Em" She starts talking then I looked at her. She is still looking at the sky. I'm mesmerized with her beauty. Even with her puffy eyes she still looks amazing.

"While some good thing never last most things never happen. Just like what happen to us" She said then she looked at me then she gave me a smile that didn't reach her eyes. I freeze to her second statement.

"You know I'm a really happy go lucky person. Someone who is not bothered or anything about my future, I just wanted to live my life to the fullest. " Then she play with her fingers. I really don't know where all of this is going but I let her speak and didn't interrupt her.

"Then you happen and I started to think differently" She shakes her head but she is smiling. I want to interrupt her. To say that I regretted that day, that moment when I turn her down but before I can speak she continued talking.

"But you dumped me, then I got depressed then I meet this someone and I moved on slowly not noticing that EVERYTHING is starting to change."

"It is all unexpected, really unexpected. It's not for the first time but I guess this time I really fall hard. Really Hard" Then tears fall on her cheeks. Then she laughed and later her laughter turns into something else. I really hate to see her cry and look this helpless and broken.

I just hugged her after that I don't know what to say. I just want to let her feel that I'm always there for her. Always. I don't know if the one she is talking about is what I'm thinking at this moment but a tear also stream down to my face. Tears fall from my eyes because this person in my arms, whom I thought still interested in me, already belonged to someone else.

(A/n: ideas are really free flowing so I decided to stay up and type it down :D just leave your reviews question or anything I would really love to read some XD )
