Ali's pov

Hanna seriously, I need help! Emily said they would be here at five. which one do you like better? I held up two dresses one red and one yellow. "Ali chill out I like them both" remembering that red I'd Emily's favourite colour. I slipped on the red dress and flats leaving my hair curly, not wanting to over do it. Han promise you will be on your best behaviour, I really like her so try and be as nice as you can to her friend. "Will do" she smiled while taking a seat on the couch opposite me. I could feel myself getting more nervous as it got closer to five and just after it past five there was a knock at the door.

I stood up and Hanna followed me to the door, opening it I smiled as I saw Emily and the smaller brunette standing there. You must be Aria, I smiled pulling her into a hug, she nodded "yeah that's me". This is Hanna I say as the four of us walked into the living room to sit down. "Hey nice to finally meet you", Hanna says with a smirk. "I've heard a lot about you Emily". I blushed glaring at Hanna for saying that, I was glad to hear Aria speak though. "Well, I could say the same thing about Alison", I saw Emily nudge her and Aria just laughed.

We decided to watch movies, I sat next to Hanna while Aria and Emily sat next to each other all cuddled up together. For just friends, they were pretty friendly with each other and I couldn't help but wish that it was me. During the second movie I noticed Emily's phone go off, she reached over to get it and both she and Aria looked concerned. I heard Aria whisper I'm sure he will be okay Em, your mums with him. I had no idea what she was talking about but I didn't want to interrupt. I saw Emily get up from the couch and excuse herself for a sec heading outside. I looked at Aria. is she okay? "Yeah she will be it's just her dad", should I go check on her? Aria smiled "yeah I think she'd like that". I got up taking one last looking at Hanna before leaving her and Aria in the room.

Tonight was going pretty good, Aria and I were on the couch cuddling watching the movie. I couldn't help but notice Alison looking at me every five minutes and I smiled every time we made eye contact. My phone vibrated on the table and I reached down to grab it. The text was from my mum. I knew Aria had read it too by the look on her face and she tried to reassure me that it would be ok. Not wanting to cry in front of Alison and Hanna, I quickly got up and went outside closing the door behind me. Two minutes later I heard the door open and close and a figure appear next to me on the step. Wiping my eyes, I looked over see it was Alison. The blonde spoke, "hey are you okay"? I felt her place her hand on the small of my back, and even the slightest of contact made me relax. Yeah I'm fine I just needed some air, I lied not wanting to bother her with my problems. "No you're not, Aria told me something happened to your dad, what Happen?Alison removed her hand from my back and reached out to hold my hand, I sighed when I felt how soft her hand was. Alison is holding my hand OMG, what do I do? Breathe Emily, you're just friends. I turned slightly to look at her. My dad has been injured, my mum said he lost a lot of blood when it happened but the doctors have managed to stitch his leg, he'll been fine but my mum said she is going to stay with him for an extra week to make sure. I'm just worried about him, he's lucky it was just his leg. Looking away I felt a tear roll down my cheek. What if next time it's not just his leg? I felt Alison grab my chin softly and turn my head so I had no choice but to look at her. "Emily it's going to be ok, your mum is with him and I'm sure she will look after him". "you cant worry about what might happen or might of happened, just be glad that he's ok and your mums there for him". Yeah, they have each other but I'm home in Rosewood with no one. Ali shook her head while wiping a tear from my cheek. "that's not true, you have Aria and now you have me, I'm not going anywhere". I smiled bringing Ali into a hug. thank you, "don't worry about it what are friends for?" "Now lets get back in there, I wonder what Hanna and Aria are up to". I smiled walking inside taking Ali's hand again that she offered me.

I walked back inside holding Emily's hand and I so didn't want to let go. I was brave enough to hold it and just glad she didn't try and pull away. Walking into the lounge room I could hear laughter and smiled, what happened to you two while we were gone? Hanna cut in "oh nothing we just have a lot more in common then we thought right Aria"? "Yeah right, this one has a pretty good sense of humour". Emily and I smiled pleased to see Aria had moved to sit next to Hanna which meant we could sit together. I sat down dragging Emily with me and pulled the blanket back up, letting her lean into me. I saw her blush slightly but was glad when she didn't let go of my hand.

We ordered pizza for dinner, and Hanna and Aria seemed to be getting along pretty well which gave me and Emily a chance to talk. We spent most the night just talking about random stuff, getting to know each other better and all I could think was that I was liking her more and more each second. After the third movie ended we decided to move to my room. I immediately missed the contact when I had to let go of Emily's hand to walk upstairs.

Hanna smirked at Aria before speaking, "I'm totally sleeping on the floor, next to Aria tonight". "Sorry Emily but it looks like you will have to share with Ali". "Fine by me", Aria piped up "Em's the worst to sleep with". I heard Emily cut her off. "am not" she tried to defend herself and I couldn't help but laugh. "Em you know I love you but it's true". Hanna laughed at how honest Aria was being. "I'm pretty sure she's not as bad as Ali, she always wants to cuddle and when I wake up she's never on her side of the bed". This time Emily laughed, "well then good thing I like to cuddle too" she says before winking at me and heading to the bathroom to change. When Emily walked in Aria and Hanna were already happy lying together on their mattress talking. So what side of the bed do you want? Em smiled, "whatever side you don't normally sleep on". I nodded letting her crawl across the bed to the wall side before hoping in after her. Both of us facing each other. We lay there listening to Hanna and Aria talking until it became quiet and we knew they had fallen asleep. I wanted to cuddle Emily but I was too scared. I didn't want to make her uncomfortable, so instead I lay on my back and closed my eyes.

I heard Emily whisper roll over and I laughed turning to face the door. I felt Emily move closer, she hesitated for a second before placing her arm around my stomach. I relaxed into her and smiled, glad that she couldn't see me blushing. "You know Ali I was serious when I said I like to cuddle". Well I'm glad Em because I probably would have ended up cuddling you anyway. Goodnight Emily, Mmm, night Ali.
