I am so so so so sorry you guys! It's been almost a year but I've been so busy with work and school and I almost completely forgot about this. School's done and I found time to write. You guys deserve another chapter. And deserve to see their lives continue on. Leave a review? Might need to reread the past few chapters to refresh. You're welcome you guys!

Emily's POV

My phone vibrates in my pocket, and I look at Spencer awkwardly. I want to break the awkwardness by getting up and leaving, but I don't think I can come up with a good enough excuse. After a couple more minutes of watching a steamy sex scene in the movie, my phone vibrates more obnoxiously now. I know it's a phone call, and I know that Alison is going through some really tough things with CeCe right now.

"I'm going to go to the bathroom, be back in a couple minutes alright?" I whisper to Spencer, who smirks as if she gets something that I don't.

"Want me to come?" Spencer whispers back, I shake my head and begin to make my way past a bunch of couples. I can hear their frustrations with me, but I can't ignore my phone if it continuously is going to be going off.

I push open the doors of the bathroom and take out my phone. It managed to ring on and off the whole way to the bathroom. I look at the screen and see 'Missed Call (3) Alison' and 'Text Message Alison' . My heart pounds in my chest at the thought of speaking with her again. I miss her so much and I can't stand not talking to her or even seeing her any longer. I slide open my phone and tap her name for the first time in what feels like forever.

It barely gets to the second ring when I hear a soft "Emily?". Her voice is strained and hoarse and I can tell she's been crying. I feel my heart slowly break, I had never heard her this upset. I know something's wrong, I just know it.

"Alison... What's wrong..? Is everything okay? Where are you...?" I ask, the stress consuming my voice. A million scenarios rush through my mind and I wish I would've read the text first. I can feel my heart pounding in my chest and sweat collecting on my palms.

"I'm at the hospital... Can you come get me? Please?" Alison mumbles. I don't think twice, I know this is my last chance. Alison actually wants to see me, if I don't go, she may never come back to me.

"Of course, I'll be there soon." I tell her before hanging up and making my way back into the theater to tell Spencer I have to go.

The couples I passed before roll their eyes when they see me coming back. I give a sorry smile and squeeze past their legs before I reach Spencer and my jacket. I sit down in the seat and lean over to whisper to Spencer.

"I'm sorry Spence, but I really have to go. This was really great but it's an emergency." I whisper quickly as I grab my jacket. Spencer can hear the stress in my voice, I can tell because she starts to grab her stuff as well.

"I'll drive you home." Spencer whispers back. A few people shush at us and I give them a death glare.

"No Spence, really I don't even have time to go home. I'll text you. I'm sorry, but I have to go." Before I can see the look on her face, I turn around and squeeze past couples on the other side, feeling as though I've bothered the other ones enough for now.

I push open the doors to the street and raise my hand out for a taxi. One pulls up and I tell him where to drive me and with a nod, we're off.

Alison's POV

I sit in the waiting rooms uncomfortable chairs and shake my legs impatiently. It's been 20 minutes and there's no sign of Emily anywhere. Did she blow me off? Oh my god... tonight was her date... I feel like such an idiot. Why the hell would I ruin that for her? No wonder she's taking so long.

That's when my heart drops. What if she got in a car accident? What if she's hurt like CeCe? The thought of Emily dying actually makes me feel light headed. I lean forward and put my head between my knees to help feel better.

I open my eyes and sit up slowly, feeling incredibly stiff. I guess I passed out or fell asleep while trying to calm down. I am half asleep and take a second to realize someone is beside me. I jump in my seat and the person laughs. I missed the sound of that laugh, I regret telling her to go away. I regret pushing her away. Even after pushing her away, she's here. Emily came to the hospital even though I was a total bitch the last time we hung out.

After a minute I realize why she's here and the tears begin to fall again. My body is overcome by sobs and shaking and crying. I don't want to break down right now, but my best friend is dead and my girlfriend... I mean ex girlfriend is sitting here trying to be a good friend and I'm just soaking her shoulder. I feel her hand rub small circles on my back, and my sobs stop, but the tears continue.

"Shhhh, it's okay Ali.. She's better wherever she is now. She's not hurting anymore... shhhhh... it's okay Alison" Emily whispers in my ear. Her voice sends butterflies into my stomach.

"I'm sorry.. I forgot you were on a date, and I should've called Aria, but I only wanted to see you... I just can't be alone right now..." I barely croak out. My voice is hoarse from sleep and crying. Emily shakes her head at me with a sorry look on her face.

"Alison don't be sorry. That wasn't even supposed to be a date like that. She just wanted to try it out with a girl she knew. I tried telling you, but we can talk about that later." Emily kisses my forehead and I smile the first real smile in a long time.

"Can you take me home?" I ask, I just want to get out of this hospital and wait for Kristen to text me with the news on Amelia. Emily nods and helps me stand up and walks me outside.

"Shit, I don't have my car. Are you okay if we take a cab?" Emily asks, I nod. It doesn't matter to me as long as I get far away from this place tonight. I want to curl up in my bed and just cuddle with Emily for the night.

I finally crawl into my own bed in what feels like eternity. I smile and inhale my detergent off the sheets and finally feel at home yet again. Emily stands awkwardly at the door and I sit up and stare at her. She walks over to the bed and gives me a hug. I hug her back and enjoy that the fighting is over now.

"I'm going to be on the couch, yell out if you need me." Emily says as she begins to walk away from me. I grab her hand and shake my head.

"Don't leave me..." I whisper, barely audible to even me. The look on Emily's face tells me she heard. Emily has a faint smile on her lips and nods.

I grip her hand tighter and pull her abruptly to me. I smile and lean in slowly, watching Emily's eyes and lips and just taking in the moment before it has time to end. My lips finally reach hers and the kiss is slow, passionate and long overdue. The kiss lingers, for what seems like forever, nobody wanting to break the perfection of this one moment. So I take matters into my own hands and lay back as the one kiss begins to turn into many kisses. This night is beginning to get a lot better.

I smile against Emily's lips as I continue to kiss her, not worrying about breathing or anything but making up for the time we've spent apart. My lips move from her lips slowly in a line to her neck, and I hear the one thing I've missed most. Emily whispering my name, in a needing voice.
