Chapter 4 already wow. I love reading your guys' reviews. They encourage me to write more.
AsaMoritz; thank you. I was going to stick to their show personalities, but since it's AU I decided to change everything about them, except their looks. I'm glad that you like it.
The ideas just keep flowing, I can't stop writing. I don't own Pretty Little Liars, I just own the ideas and the universe in which they live in. This chapter you'll find out more about Alison and her family, why her father is in jail. You will also find out why Emily and Jennifer breaking up hurt her so bad and more about her and her life. It's probably going to be a sad chapter. But none of the other chapters will be this depressing or whatever. Enjoy :) Review and all that other stuff :)
Alison's POV
I scoot closer to Emily and smile at her. She stares at my lips and nose, but I pretend not to realize. I want her to try and kiss me again, but I also was serious when I told her that I just want to be friends for now.
"What about your parents? What did they do?" Emily asks. My smile drops and I look away quickly. I know she was just being her curious self, but I didn't expect anyone to ask me about my parents. Tears burn at the back of my eyes and I force them back. I refuse to cry in front of her again.
"Alison, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you." Emily touches my shoulder softly and I finally look back at her.
"It's not that… it's…" I start and I look down at my shoes. They're my favorite blue converse; I've had them since I was 16.
"My mom died when I was 8 from cancer, it wasn't a surprise or anything. She got it a few months after I was born. I miss her, she used to always encourage me and say these smart things. After she left, I always would think 'what would mom say?' or 'what would mom do?'. It really helped me get through a lot. My dad flew off the handle after she died. He was the greatest lawyer in Pennsylvania, but once he cracked open that first bottle of whiskey it all changed. He became angry, mainly at me. He said it was my entire fault. I was his baby girl every moment until that one. He would hit me, and one day he hit me too hard. I blacked out, and woke up in a hospital. They said I nearly died. I was 12, it happened for 4 years. I was put into foster care, so I moved around a lot too, until I was 18 and had to fend for myself. I moved here, and have been here ever since. My dad is in jail now, and he gets out in a few years." I open up to her. Tears well up in her eyes and threaten to spill over. She hugs me tight and I feel her tears drip on my shirt.
I begin to let my own tears fall as I realize that my life was never okay after my mother died. With Emily right now, it seemed okay. It seemed really perfect actually.
"I'm so sorry that happened to you Alison. You didn't have to tell me all that. I just want you to know, that I am here for you and so is Aria. It wasn't your fault; you couldn't have prevented her death even if you had tried." Emily whispers in my ear, I nod and she kisses my forehead.
I smile and stand up, brushing the dirt off my pants. Emily does the same and smiles at me.
"What's your favorite type of cat?" Emily asks me, I stare at her in confusion.
"Tabby, I don't know… why?" I ask her back while laughing. Emily just shrugs and keeps walking. I stop walking and stare at her confused for a few seconds before following after her.
"You're weird, you know that right?" I tell her. Emily looks at me and places her hand over her chest pretending to be hurt. I laugh and so does she.
"Thank you, I know. You're weird too, so I guess that's why we're friends!" Emily whispers in my ear while nudging my arm with hers. I playfully punch her and run down the street towards our apartment building. I bump into people on my way and receive many dirty looks.
"Get back here!" Emily yells out. I laugh and open the apartment door and start running towards the elevator.
I hear Emily's footsteps and see an elevator already in the lobby. I run into the elevator and breathe heavily. I hold onto the wall trying to catch my breath. I am suddenly hit over by a large force and I squeal. I look up and see Emily on top of me and laugh along with her.
She presses 10 on the elevator buttons and looks back down at me. She's got a mischievous smile on her face, and I stop laughing. I bite my lip to hold back remaining laughter and Emily raises one of her perfect eyebrows. She suddenly tickles me and I squeal with laughter and try to push her off.
"Stop. Please. I give up." I say while laughing. She stops and looks at my face. I bite my lip softly and stare into her chocolate brown eyes. Emily leans down to kiss me, and I flip us over so that I'm on top of her.
"You're childish you know, and you know what happens to children?" I ask.
Emily giggles and bites her lip while shaking her head. I begin to tickle her as pay back and she squeals extremely loud. Her squeals and pleas for me to stop only make me tickle her more, until we reach the tenth floor. When the doors open, I jump off of Emily and run for my apartment. I jiggle the handle quickly and then take my keys out of my pocket. Just as I get my keys into the lock, Emily spins me around and pins me against the door.
"No more running, face the consequences." Emily whispers as her warm breath caresses my face. Our breathing is heavy from running and laughing. I smile and nod, while staring at her lips.
I can't take it any longer; I lean in and press my lips to hers. Her lips are warm and soft. Emily presses me against the door even more and deepens the kiss, her tongue sliding across my lips for entrance. I open my mouth slightly and allow our tongues to explore each other's mouths. I pull away slowly and breathe hard. Emily stares into my bright blue eyes with her chocolate brown ones and I smile. Emily smiles back at me and turns the key in the lock before handing me the keys. I turn around and open the door. I walk in and gesture for Emily to follow.
Emily's POV
I sit on Alison's couch and wait for her to finish getting us both something to drink. My body is still tingling from the kiss. My lips feel like they've been electrocuted, and I wouldn't mind it happening again. The kiss was amazing, but I know that we are just going to be friends for now. I look up as Alison walks back in with two cups of mint tea. I told her the first time we met, but I didn't think she would remember.
"I thought I'd try this, since you were the one who recommended it. I don't like mint, but I really do like this. It wakes me up, but calms me at the same time." Alison says as she passes me a cup and sits on the other side of the couch.
"Thanks, I didn't think you would even remember that I liked this. It means a lot that you did." I sip my tea and it tastes amazing. She takes a few sips of hers and then puts it down on the floor beside the couch.
"Who was your first love?" Alison asks randomly. I look at her and take a deep breath.
"Her name was Jennifer. We met at 13 and I knew right when I saw her that I loved her more than anything. We started dating at 14 and dated until we were 17. She was my first kiss, my first love, and my first time. I haven't had feelings for anybody since, but I spent two years having sex with tons of girls. I just wanted to feel that love again. Jennifer had this gorgeous fiery red hair and green eyes. She liked everything I liked and was the nicest person ever. I was her everything until one day she realized she was bored and just ended it. Told me that it just wasn't what she wanted. I haven't talked to her since. What about you?"
"No offence, but she sounds like a bitch. Who would do that to someone as sweet as you? That's like killing a puppy. She sounds pretty hot though. I've never been in love, but I know I will be when I feel something right away. I totally hooked up with people and dated people I never felt things for, but never was in love. At least in the first week." I look at her in shock. She was never in love, but she might be with me? I smile at her.
"None taken, she was. I found out a few months later that she was cheating on me with some girl I never knew. I moved on though, took me a while." I admit. I look down at my tea and drink the rest. Alison does the same with hers.
We sit in silence for a while, before we hear gunshots outside and a scream. We run to the window and look outside. A woman lay in the middle of the street, blood pouring from under her body. Alison looks down the road and sees a man walking away, unlike the rest of the people who are running. She takes out her phone, zooms in and takes pictures of the man and the woman.
"What are you doing?" I hiss at her. He could look up at any minute and might see us staring from the window. The man could easily shoot her in a matter of seconds.
"If they can't find out whom it is this will help them!" Alison replies and lowers her phone. I roll my eyes and stare at her.
"What?" She asks, folding her arms across her chest.
"You have a death wish."
"Do not; I just don't want some lady to become another murder victim where they can't find the murderer. I will never let someone get murdered where they don't know the murderer. I just can't let that happen okay?" I stare at her confused.
"Is there something you're not telling me Alison?"
"I didn't exactly tell you why my dad is in jail for so long. Yes, he tried to murder me. He was also convicted of murder of another girl, same age as me. Turns out my father was a psychopath and ripped a girl from my school to shreds. I found out, but I was too scared to tell the cops. My dad almost killed me for finding out, and thankfully I lived, the other girl wasn't so lucky. That's why I was in the hospital that time and that's why I need to make sure that this guy doesn't get away." Alison whispers, tears falling from her eyes.
I have developed a deep hatred for this man over the past few hours. Why would someone destroy something so beautiful? Alison is broken, but I'm willing to fix her. I want to protect her, but I can't protect her from something that has already happened. I hug Alison tightly and rub circles on her back.
After a few minutes, she pulls back and is happy again. I smile at her and she smiles back.
"I'm sorry for being so depressing." Alison says with a short laugh. She shakes her head and wipes the remaining wetness off her face.
"You aren't being depressing. You're telling me about you and that's what we want to do isn't it?" I ask her. She nods and gives me a quick hug.
"Thank you, Emily. I'm glad to have someone like you for a friend."
"You're welcome. I really enjoy being your friend. You're so interesting and mysterious." She smiles her cute and adorable smile with a blush creeping into her cheeks.
"What's your favorite color Ali?" I look up at her and she looks at me confused.
"Purple, what's yours?"
"Green, What shade of purple do you like?" She laughs and stares at me like I have 2 heads.
"What? Why are you asking me random things?"
"It's the little things that matter most. What if you liked blue and I just assumed you liked orange and only got you orange? What if orange was your least favorite color? Then you'd be upset. I pay attention to the little things before I look at the bigger things." I poke her in the side and she giggles.
The rest of the evening until midnight goes like this. Random questions so we get to know the little things. As soon as I look at my phone and see 12:03am, I have to go. I stand up and so does Alison; she looks at me confused.
"I got to get home and go to bed, I'm exhausted and I promised my mom I'd call her and tell her how the week with the coffee shop went. I can't wait to tell her people enjoy it all and that I have an employee!" I say excitedly. Alison makes a pouty face and I smile at her. She is the most adorable weirdo I've ever met.
"Can I at least walk you to my door?" Alison asks.
"Of course you can." We walk to her apartment door in silence. I don't want to leave; I actually enjoy talking to Alison. I have to leave since I promised my mom.
Alison opens her apartment door for me and I step out. I turn around and we stare at each other, neither of us wanting to say goodbye. Alison looks down for a second, and when she looks back up something about her eyes is different. It's the same thing I saw before she kissed me on this very spot earlier. I pull Alison to me by her waist and lock eyes with her. She tries to kiss me quickly, but I smile and pull back. Alison pouts and I can no longer tease her without feeling bad. I press my lips to hers and pull away quickly. I turn around before I can give in and kiss her more and walk towards my own apartment.
"Tease." Alison calls after me. I turn around with a smirk on my face.
"We're just friends remember?" I yell back and giggle as I unlock my apartment and step in. My mind is spinning, a result of her kisses. I lean against my door, bite my lip and slowly lower myself to the floor. This girl has the weirdest effect on me.
