Chapter 8 I'm Scared
Ali's pov
I woke up to the sun shining in the window. Emily was lying next to me with her arm around my waist and our legs were tangled together. I smiled when I realised how close our faces were. Deciding to wake her up, I leaned in and placed a soft kiss to her lips. I felt her smile, when she started to wake. She then moved as she straddled my waist continuing to kiss me. What started out as an innocent good morning kiss quickly became heated. Emily deepened the kiss, as I felt her tongue enter my mouth. When the kiss broke we both opened our eyes to look at each other. I felt Emily laugh as she buried her face in my neck. "Good morning," she whispered making me shiver, as I felt her breath hit my neck. I smiled as she lay back down next to me. Sorry I woke you, I just couldn't resist. "Mmm, don't be I like knowing that you're the first person I see when I wake up." I blushed slightly as I got off the bed. "What time do your parents get back?" Em asked me. Five I think, but if you ask me that's too soon. Em laughed as she followed me and we made our way into the kitchen. I made coffee for us before moving into the lounge room.
Emily's pov
As much as I didn't want to, I knew we had to talk about last night. We both knew we would be the hot topic at school tomorrow, and the girls didn't even know yet. We at least owe it to them to tell them what happened. In fact where the hell was Hanna last night? I sat down on the couch, placing my coffee on the table. Ali, do you regret what you said last night? She looked at me confused. Like I'm glad you defended me but if you hadn't then you would still be friends with Mona, and you wouldn't be stuck with me. Ali moved closer placing her hand on my knee. "Emily, I meant everything I said last night, Especially what I said about you. You make me a better person Em and I don't care what people think of me anymore. What matters is me and you." I smiled pulling Ali into a hug. Thankyou for not thinking I'm a total loser like everyone else in the school. Ali laughed, "oh don't worry Em, you're still a loser, but in a good way. You're my loser and anyone else who think you are is wrong." I smirked, you're such a dork I mumble bringing her closer and connecting our lips together for a kiss. "How about we text the girls and meet them at the brew for lunch?" Yeah that's sound good.
Ali's pov
We got to the brew, and I noticed that Hanna and Aria were already there waiting for us in a booth. I grabbed Em's hand and walked over to join them. "What's up guys," Aria smiled and Han passed us a coffee. "Yeah when you said you needed to talk, it sounded urgent." "Emily what happened to your face?" Hanna looked between me and her confused. It's not urgent, we just thought you guys deserved to hear it from us instead of from Mona tomorrow. Where were you last night Hanna? I thought you were bringing Sean to the party? "Well considering we are not together anymore, I opted not to go. Besides I wasn't just going to leave Aria out of it." Aria smiled, yeah we had our own fun, but what did we miss?" I held Em's hand tighter, trying to reassure her before talking. Last night at Mona's party, when I went to get me and Emily a drink, I came back and Mona was having a full on go at her, calling her names. I had to stop her, and we kind of got into a fight. Aria's eyes widened in shock, and Hanna's mouth opened waiting for me to continue. She asked if I was gay, and I told her that it was none of her concern. I also said that I didn't care what people think of me, and that I want nothing to do with her. She must have been mad, because she went to slap me, But Emily must have seen it coming and she stepped in to defend me taking the slap. I sighed, that's what happen to her face. Em cut in. "I didn't do anything, Ali is the one who stood up for me, I just thought I would be better if Mona slapped me instead of Ali." "Are you guys ok?" Aria asked, yeah we will be fine. We just thought you should know, since it will be all over the school tomorrow. It was Hanna's turn to speak. "Does that mean I have permission to kick her arse for messing with you two?" Emily laughed, "No Han, I don't think that's a good idea, besides I don't want her to end up slapping you." I agree Han, Em's right, promise you won't do anything stupid. "Okay fine I'll stay away." Thankyou.
The girls and I stayed at the brew for a few more hours before separating and heading home. I said goodbye to Em, and told her I would speak to her later on the phone. When I arrived home, I cringed when I saw my parent's car. I opened the front door and walked inside. Mum? Dad? Are you home? I watched as my dad walked out of the study. "Alison where the hell have you been?" Just out dad, I thought you were not getting back till five? "Yeah well I am." Where's mum? "She went to the store to get some things." Is Jason home? "I don't know Alison, does it look like I care? I'm far too busy, just go upstairs." I practically ran up stairs closing my door and crawling onto my bed. I hated being home alone with my dad, and I had ever reasons to. I pulled out my phone, and quickly dialled Hanna's Number. "Hey Ali what's up?" Hey Han, not much I sighed. "He's home isn't he?" Yeah he is. I love how Hanna can tell just by the tone of my voice.
Can you just stay on the phone with me until someone gets home? "Where's your mum?" She went to the store. "Is Jason home?" No, I walked past his room but his not in there. He must be out with his mates. Hanna has always been here for me, ever since we were little. I told her I didn't like being home alone with my dad but I never told her why. I'm not ready to talk about that. When we were little Hanna and I went to a carnival, and she brought me a teddy, the same as hers. When I asked her why she got it she said that she had one, and when ever she was scared she would hold it. I know its lame, but I still have mine and I still use it. It's the only thing that makes me feel safe. Hanna and I were on the phone for about half an Hour, when I finally heard someone open and close the front door. Thanks for talking to me again Han, I think mum's home I better go help her unpack. I'll see you at school. "Okay by Ali, I'll see you tomorrow."
I went down stairs, relieved to see my mum. I helped her unpack and prepare dinner. I was glad I didn't see my dad for the rest of the night as he was too busy in the study. When I finished dinner I went back upstairs and got changed in the bathroom, before hopping into bed. My phone started ringing on my night stand and I smiled when I realised it was Emily. Hey you, miss me already? Emily laughed, "No, I actually was just calling to see if you wanted to walk to school together tomorrow? But you know I Do". I smiled when I realised she was trying to cover up the real reason she had called. It's so good to hear your voice again, I whispered barley even realising I had said it. "Ali I saw you like four hours ago" I know. "What's wrong?" Nothing Em I'm fine. "Ali I don't believe you." I sighed, Em I'm fine ok, and if there was something wrong I would tell you. "Okay well if you're not going to tell me I'll just ask you at school tomorrow in person." I laughed, changing the subject. I'd love to walk to school with you tomorrow, I'll meet you at your place at 8:30 and we can go from there. "Sounds great, night Ali" Night Em, I'll see you tomorrow.
Hanging up the phone, I was so tired. This whole weekend had drained me. Both physically and mentally. I closed my eyes trying to get some sleep. The only thing making me smile was the fact that I would be seeing Emily again, first thing tomorrow.
