I'm so sorry you guys! I was busy and sick and had no time to do any writing. I finally have time so I'm going to write as much as I can. This weekend is me dedicated to you all. I feel terrible that I haven't been able to write. I thought about it everyday since. Read review enjoy and all those lovely things. Try not to hate me? I love you guys! Read on! ARIA IS BACK! Also switching it up. Emily POV first. Then Alison. And a surprise at the end. :D Because you guys deserve it.
I tried mint tea since I talk about it so much in this fanfic, and it is actually so good. I can honestly say I've been drinking it almost everyday. I recommend it to you all.
I don't own PLL, just my ideas.
Emily's POV
It's been exactly three days and twelve minutes since Alison asked me out. We haven't had much time to hang out since I had to work and so did she. My mother had called me a few times and today I get to hang out with Aria. It feels like forever since I last got to hang out with my best friend, but she's had to work. Finally she has a day off and so do I. I hired a few more workers so that Alison and I could get time off every once and a while.
Aria sits across from me with a mint tea in her lap and she takes a bite out of one of the donuts she brought. I take a sip of my own tea and cross my legs. Aria smiles at me and I look down at my phone. Alison and I haven't gotten around to telling anybody about our relationship yet, but today I'm telling Aria.
"So are we going to talk about something or sit here in silence?" Aria asks, I snap out of my thoughts.
"Well, there's stuff I need to tell you about." I tell her.
"Like?"
"Like the fact Alison and I went to see her father. Who just so happens to live in a prison." Aria looks at me, shocked. I finally realize that I was the only person who actually knew about Alison's father. I instantly begin to feel a little bad, but if I don't explain, Aria will ask Alison.
"Don't worry. He's only in there now because he's falsely accused of a murder. Alison and him talked out the other issues and now they're okay. I was so happy when she asked me to go with her. It meant a lot to me, but at the same time, I knew she couldn't go alone. Wanna hear the best part?" I ask.
"Well, yeah."
"The reason she went, was because her mom told her to in a dream. I'm not sure if you know, but her mom passed away when she was eight. I don't want you running back to her telling her all of this though. She doesn't like talking about it, and I know she will tell you whenever she gets the chance." Aria nods at me and places her drink on the table.
"That's not the big thing you want to tell me. I can tell by how you keep looking at your phone waiting for a text. You're waiting for a text from her. I know you Emily Fields. You better confess before I tickle you to death!" I laugh at Aria and she looks at me with her eyebrow arched.
"Don't believe me?" Aria reaches out towards me with her hands and I scream.
"I believe you! I believe you!"
"Good, now confess." Aria can be so demanding at times, but I love her.
"Okay, so we got home from the prison right? Alison was really tired and I threatened to lock her in the car alone on the street if she didn't get out. She said that I suck and I made a sexual comment, as always" I laugh a little, and so does Aria.
"Then she called me a pervy bitch, so I pretended to be upset and I ignored her for 5 minutes. When I got to my apartment, she got sad and I gave in. I gave her a hug and walked to my door and started unlocking it. Then the most amazing thing happened! Alison asked me to be her girlfriend!" I squeal, and so does Aria. She gives me a tight hug then pulls away quickly.
"Wait, what did you say?" Aria asks. I smile, because I know she already knows.
"I said yes and then kissed her. You're the first person to find out!" Aria hugs me and stands up.
"Congratulations Em! I'm so happy for you! I need to talk to her later though. You know, tell her the whole 'don't hurt my friend. You may be my friend too, but she's my sister' thing." Aria laughs. I know for a short girl, Aria can be the most menacing person on the planet. I wouldn't piss her off.
"Don't scare her!" I warn.
"Oh yeah, big scary Aria is totally going to scare Alison. I'm not that scary. Besides, I actually like this one, so I'm not going to scare her. I know she loves you by the way." I laugh at Aria and am thankful that she and Alison are good friends.
"I'm just worried that she's going to hurt me like Jenn did." I mutter and look down in my lap. Aria sits back down in front of me and grabs my hands in hers. I look up at her and smile sadly.
"Alison is not Jenn okay? Alison is the sweetest, most kind human being I've ever met. She would never hurt you without a good reason. If you want proof, find out whom her childhood friends are and give them a call. I mean, if she was worried about something involving you, she'd ask me." Aria offers. I hug her tightly. She's the most amazing friend I could ever ask for.
"Thanks Ar, you're an amazing friend!" I whisper. Aria gets up and walks towards the door. She grabs her stuff along the way. I follow her and give her a curious look.
"I know. Listen, I got to go run some errands and then head home to shower. Then I'll probably go see Ali to tell her not to hurt you and all that mumbo jumbo. I'll call you if and when I have time?" I nod and she gives me a kiss on the cheek before leaving. That girl is a goof, but I love her anyways.
Alison's POV
I pick up my cell phone and stare at it for a while. I want to call CeCe and tell her everything, but I haven't talked to her in so long. I also want to call Aria, but I know that Emily will want to talk to her since they were friends first.
I sigh and lay back on my bed. Emily is my girlfriend and I still can't believe it. This girl that made me feel love and happiness like I've never felt before. This girl that can make my heart pound, my knees weak and my world spin with the simple word "hello". This girl that I basically fell in love with the moment I saw her. Thanks to Emily, I truly believe that good things can happen to me. The past two months have been the best two months of my life. I stopped having nightmares, my mom came to me in a dream, I made friends, I fell in love, and I saw my dad and actually stopped hating him. My life is great right now and I still have no idea who to tell about it.
I open my phone and press the numbers that are basically second nature to me. A familiar voice sounds in my ear and I'm reminded of home.
"Alison?" CeCe asks through the phone. I smile and wish I could hug her.
"Hey C, how are you? It's been so long!"
"I know, I've been meaning to call you but everything is so busy here in England. I might come visit you for Christmas! I'm alright by the way, how about you?" I smile, wishing she could visit more often.
"I can't wait to see you! I'm amazing; you'll never guess what happened to me in the past few months!"
"Tell me everything! From beginning to finish, and don't you dare skip out on dirty details. Even the lesbian-y stuff, I need to know it all. If I can't be there and I only get rare phone calls, then I need details." I laugh at her and play with the string on my pants.
"Okay so long story short, I found love." I spit out, cutting to the chase. I can almost hear CeCe rolling her eyes since I skipped details.
"Details you blonde!" We laugh and I sigh.
"Okay, okay. So, this new coffee shop opened down the street from my apartment right? So I was like 'whatever, let me check this place out.' I walk in the door and it smells like heaven. Literally, just like food heaven. I look up and this tall, tan, chocolate brown haired girl. She's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. My heart began to speed up and my palms got all sweaty. This girl gave me her number and it turned out she owned the place. Her friend sat with me and we talked a bit. Anyways, time passed and we got extremely close and we kissed a bit and went on a date. I planned the date with all her favorite things. We had her favorite food, sat at her favorite park and watched the sun set. It was the best date I had ever been on or even planned. Then I went and saw my dad a few days ago with her. My mom came to me in a dream and she basically told me to go. My dad is innocent CeCe, he never killed that girl. I forgave him like an adult and we agreed to just talk and be friends. Then I asked the girl out. My life is amazing right now, and it sucks that you aren't here to experience it with me." A tear slides down my cheek.
"I know Ali, I want to be there. I'm so happy you finally found love and happiness. I'm even happier that you and your dad worked out everything after so long. You've grown up so much since I've been gone and honestly, I miss you more and more each day. What's this girls name by the way?" In all my happiness, I forgot to even mention Emily's name. Her perfect, flawless name.
"Her name is Emily."
"That's a cute name. Have you slept with her yet?" I laugh hard and so does CeCe.
"Define sleep with." I tell her.
"Alison you dirty girl! I mean sex."
"No, I haven't had sex with her. I want to take things slow, make sure this is really what I want you know?"
"Yeah, I know. Good luck Ali. Don't get hurt, or I'll be down there in a second to kick her ass." CeCe threatens. I giggle and roll my eyes.
"Yeah, yeah. If you say so. You wouldn't hurt someone I love and you know it."
"Oh shut up! I'll come there and kick your ass instead." We laugh in unison and I realize just how much I miss her.
"That's kinky." I mutter. CeCe gasps and I try not to laugh.
"Well, you were into that stuff when we slept together in high school." CeCe says. I nearly forgot about that time. We didn't like each other, or at least I don't think we did. We just kind of got bored and stuff so we had sex.
"We are not to speak of those days! We were in high school and besides, you're not even gay!"
"Only for you babe" CeCe jokes. If she was here, I would punch her so hard.
"Shut up and go drink some tea or whatever you do there!" I laugh.
"Rude! Bye slut."
"Bye whore" I hang up and laugh for a few minutes. I missed having these talks with CeCe. Christmas better hurry and get here so I can hug the living hell out of her.
I smile and stare at the ceiling as I get lost in thoughts of Emily.
Aria's POV
I knew that Emily and Alison would get together; anyone with eyes could guess that. I just don't want to be a third wheel or be left out because they are too busy with each other. I'm happy for them, I really am. I just don't want them to get hurt and come crying to me. I have to go see Alison in an hour. I've already ran my errands and had my shower. I'm dressed in some random sweats I pulled out of my closet. I put my hand in my pocket and feel a piece of paper. I pull it out and look at it. It says: Ezra 555-9801 call me sometime. It's the number Alison gave me when I helped her with the date. I forgot about this.
I pull out my phone and dial the number.
"Hello?" A male voice answers from the other line. I smile and think to myself. Damn he sounds sexy.
"Hey, this is Aria. You gave my friend Alison your number. She works at a coffee shop you went to a few times." I rush out. I hope he doesn't hang up.
"The blonde? Yeah, I gave her my number… Why do you have it?" I smack myself in the forehead and laugh to myself.
"The thing about Alison is she's kind of a lesbian. She doesn't like men, but I do. So she let me have it. Sorry. I can leave you alone, it's just Alison told me about you and we have stuff in common." I smack my forehead again for acting stupid.
"Really? Like what?" Ezra sounds like a nice man, but I still need to meet him.
"Well, we both know Alison, we both like art and writing and we both like the coffee shop. That's it so far, but if you want to meet up for coffee tomorrow, we could find more stuff in common." I smile and I know I've recollected myself. He hesitates and I begin to worry.
"Sure, I'll meet you at 1:30. Back table by the window." Ezra says before hanging up. I smile and dance around my apartment for a little bit.
I knock on Alison's door and hear her footsteps approach. The door swings open and I am greeted by her lovely smile. I am instantly taken into a hug and dragged into the apartment as the door closes behind me. I hug back and laugh.
"Hey you." I mumble with my face squished against her chest. Alison backs away and is still smiling.
"Hey. Why are you here? It's pretty late." Alison asks. I shrug, knowing I'm a night owl and Alison laughs.
"Well, Emily told me everything. But there is also another reason why I'm here." I pause for dramatic effect and then continue. "I called that guy whose number you gave me. I have a date!"
Alison squeals and gives me a hug.
"I'm so happy for you! Now we could all double date, I hope you're okay with Emily and me" Alison says. I look at her like she's crazy.
"Of course I am! Why wouldn't I be? I mean anyone with eyes saw it coming. You just better not hurt her, or I'm not going to like you very much. I probably would never talk to you again." I warn.
"I promise. I wouldn't hurt Emily at all, unless she cheated on me or something. I know she wouldn't do that though. You don't have to worry about me hurting her, honestly. I know Jenn really messed her up, but I wouldn't do that. I don't want to mess this up because I love her. I've never loved anybody before. Not that I'm aware of, and if I did, it wasn't like this. I wouldn't ruin the best thing in my life." Alison says, tears streaming down her face. I wipe her tears with my sleeves and hug her tightly.
"I know Alison; I just had to tell you. I needed you to know that you can't." I reassure her.
"Is that all why you came here?" Alison asks. I nod and turn to leave.
"Aria, wait!" I hear behind me as I'm half way down the hall. I turn and Alison is jogging towards me.
"Yeah?"
"I wanted to thank you"
"For what?"
"For being my friend. I really don't know what I'd do without you."
"Aw Ali!" I hug her tightly.
"Now get home before it gets scary outside." Alison whispers. She presses the elevator button and jogs back to her apartment. She's weird, but I find myself loving her like a sister.
