Emily's POV
I haven't spoken to Alison since she told me to leave the hospital. I wanted to explain myself, but there was no use. Alison was too upset and hurt to even want to hear what I had to say. If Alison ruins this date, I don't think I will ever forgive her. Not because I'll be upset that she ruined things with Spencer, because honestly… I'm only going out with Spencer because she wants to test the waters with someone she's known for a long time. I love Alison more than anyone, and I know we have hard times and there is so much friction, but you need friction to make fire and Alison lights a fire so bright inside me. I honestly wish she knew how much I still loved her, but I need to be sure she cares enough.
I slide on some ripped jeans and a black t-shirt. Spencer said not to dress fancy, so I decided on minimal make up. Mascara and pale pink lipstick. I let my natural loose curls fall over my shoulders. Spencer would be here to pick me up in 10 minutes. She told me yesterday that she would meet me downstairs in front of the building.
I grab my keys and slide on my jacket before leaving my apartment and deciding to take the stairs. I wanted to take my time since I had ten minutes to spare before Spencer would get here.
I finally make it outside and Spencer is there with a red rose in her hand, she smiles when she notices me and hands me the rose.
"You look beautiful." Spencer chimes. Spencer's lips brush against my cheek and I smile at her.
"Thank you, as do you." I return the compliment to be polite. I take in Spencer's outfit. Black leggings and a white lace top. It's slightly fancy but still casual.
Spencer opens the door to the car and I get in, wondering why she's acting so different. I know it's a date, but I didn't think she was serious. I thought it would be like a testing thing, but she's really trying to win me over.
We reach a movie theater and Spencer parks the car in the parking lot. I smile, hoping that we are seeing the new horror movie about a dog that gets possessed. My new favorite genre is horror, but I used to love comedies, rom coms or dramas.
"What are we seeing?" I ask Spencer, having hopes that it would be the new horror flick.
"Where The Wind Blows, the new romantic comedy. You still like those right Em?" Spencer asks. I nod and smile, even though I actually don't. Not with Spencer anyways. If it were Alison with me, I'd be over the moon excited to be watching a rom com. It just seems like Spencer is trying too hard and doesn't even know me anymore.
Like the rose, it was red. Alison would've gotten me white, which is my favorite. She also would've done something special like bought every ticket to the show so we would be alone. Alison would have taken me to dinner first, or even made a candlelit picnic on her apartment floor. She would have come to my apartment and her eyes would scan my body like always. Alison would've done it right. I realize how much I miss Alison. It makes me kind of hope Alison ruins this date for me.
I decide to push Alison out of my mind as I realize the movie is starting. I was so lost in my thoughts, I forgot we even came in and got our popcorn and tickets and seats.
Alison's POV
The doctor returns from the front desk after being on the phone for what seemed like an eternity. His face shows no signs of bad news, which makes me both happy and heartbroken.
"So I've been told that this isn't usually how it would go, but because you are her next of kin, you can decide to do that and as long as the girl's mother agrees than we can go ahead and remove Ms. Drake from life support and prep Ms. Morris for surgery." The doctor informs us. I look at Kristen, but she's just staring at me.
"Alison, that's incredibly generous… are you sure you want to do that? I know she's your best friend and I know that you were hoping she'd wake up." Kristen is rubbing at her hands, meaning she was incredibly nervous.
I look from the doctor to Kristen. "I'm sure." I confirm what I know will be the death of my best friend. I know I shouldn't be okay with it, but CeCe is basically dead already and this little girl needs a new heart because of her. "I just want to say goodbye." I mutter, I begin to walk towards room 304.
"Ms. DiLaurentis!" The doctor calls from behind me, I turn with tears in my eyes and he hands me a form. "I need you to sign this consent form." I hold the form back out to him and let the tears fall from my eyes.
"Tell Nurse Janice to bring it to me in 5 minutes, that's when I want you to pull the plug." I tell the doctor. He nods and I turn back to continue walking towards CeCe.
I close the door to the hospital room and break down in tears. I walk over to CeCe and grab her hand. I wish she could've woken up, or not have drank and drove.
"CeCe, I'm so sorry that I'm letting them pull the plug. I'm sorry I can't let you live longer, but you're not waking up and you're not responding to anything. I love you like a sister CeCe. You've been there for me since forever. I have no clue how I am going to get through anything without you by my side like always. I know my mom and your parents will keep you safe. You better wait for me CeCe. You're the best friend I could've asked for. Thank you for everything. I'm sorry, but I'm saving that little girl's life and so are you." Tears drench my face and I can't help but to let the sobs escape my lips. I lean down and hug CeCe, just letting these last moments be peaceful.
A soft knock on the door breaks me away from CeCe and I see Janice. My heart drops and I realize that it's time for CeCe to go now. The doctor from before is behind her and she hands me the forms and a pen. One form is consent for her to be taken off life support and the other is consent for organ donation since CeCe couldn't decide to change that. I sign both and stand back as the doctor begins to turn off the machines and take the tubes out of CeCe. He leaves only the heart monitor on and it flat lines almost instantly. I burst into tears again and walk away as Janice tries to comfort me.
I walk to room 321 to see Kristen and Amelia. As soon as Kristen sees me, she knows it's bad. She swallows me into a hug and I can't help but hug her back. She's been there for me since the day we met, and if I had never spoken to her, her daughter would be on a waiting list for a heart.
"Alison?" Amelia calls from the bed; I wipe my eyes and walk over to her with a sweet smile. This young girl, who I found out was turning 9, had the sweetest voice and was so nice. I've come to love her as a human being and a person.
"Yes?" I ask as I reach the bed. Amelia smiles and reaches out for a hug. I comply and give her just what she wants as I realize how grateful this family must be.
"Thank you. I'm sorry your friend had to die for me…Is she with my daddy now?" Amelia asks. Tears sting my eyes and I fight them back as I nod.
"You know what?" I ask her, she smiles and gets slightly excited.
"What?"
"You're going to have such a kind, nice heart. CeCe wasn't bad, she just made bad choices, but her heart was the best heart ever. Now you're going to have the best heart ever and then you'll be with your mommy for a long time. Longer than CeCe was here for." I tell her, trying to calm her obvious nerves of getting a transplant and almost dying hours before.
"Thanks Alison. I don't want to not see mommy anymore. I miss my daddy, but I can't leave my mommy." Amelia tells me. I smile and give her a hug.
"I'll come visit you tomorrow okay?" I tell Amelia, she smiles and nods.
"Bye Alison!" She says softly. I wave goodbye and turn to Kristen. The other woman has tears in her eyes and I give her a hug too.
"It'll be okay." I tell her, she shakes her head smiling.
"That's not why I'm crying, I'm just happy that's all. You're a good person Alison." Kristen whispers. I give her a smile and mumble a thanks.
"Text me when she gets out of surgery?" I ask, Kristen nods and I leave the room. I slide on my jacket and pull out my phone from my pocket.
I would text Aria, but that's not who I want to see right now. I send a text to Emily.
CeCe's dead… I need someone… please come. I'm sorry for sending you away and for being a total ass. I miss you and I want you here. Nobody else. Xo Ali
Here's to hoping she shows up.
