Chapter 11 - You're safe with me

Ali's pov

I woke up in a sweat, not remembering where I was until I felt someone next to me. My chest felt tight and I could feel my pulse beating way to fast. I sat up trying to calm down. I must have been having a panic attack again, I always have them every night for about a week after my Dad hits me. I was so used to it yet I hated the feeling just as much each time. Not wanting to wake Em, I got up and headed into the kitchen to get a glass of water. I sat down at the bench trying to calm down enough so that I could go back in the lounge room. It wasn't long before I realised I wasn't the only one in the room. I felt Emily wrap her arms around my neck and kiss my cheek. "Hey I was wondering where you went." Hey, sorry I didn't mean to wake you. "Ali its fine what's wrong?" nothing I just couldn't sleep. Em sat down next to me and she grabbed my hand. "Babe you're like really warm are you sure you're okay?" I sighed yeah I'm fine, I guess I just woke up from having a panic attack but don't stress I'm used to it It's been happening all the time lately. Em got off her seat, and walked over to me wrapping me in a tight hug. "You don't have to pretend to be okay in front of me Ali." I smiled realising she could tell I was not telling her the truth. I know Em it's just hard, I'm used to having this wall up around people so I have less chance of getting hurt. She nodded placing a kiss to the top of my head. I'll try and let you in. I'll be fine as long as you're with me. Now instead of going back to the couch how about we go to my room. Em smiled, grabbing me by the hand and leading the way. We were both extremely tired so as soon as we hit my bed I felt Em pull me closer to her. Our eyes closing again before eventually falling back to sleep.

Emily's pov,

The next morning when we woke up, I asked Ali if she knew when her parents would be home. She said she didn't know and I could tell she was nervous. Hey, it's okay I have a plan. I'm not going to let you be alone with him ok. She smiled and nodded for me to continue. You can stay with me, My Mum gets back at the end off the week. Just leave your mum a note telling her you're staying with me to keep me company until my Mums back. I watched as Alison's smile on her grew bigger. are you sure you're okay with that Em, I don't want to intrude. Ali come here I say, patting a spot on her bed. I'm more then okay with it. I don't want to let you out of my sight, not after what you told me last night. This way I can keep you safe. When my mum gets home we can finally get you help okay, she works on the police force she will know what to do. Ali stood up pulling me with her, and wrapped her arms around my waist before resting her head on my chest. I smiled, breathing in the smell of her perfume. She whispered "I meant what I said last night, I love you Em thank you for taking care of me." She then moved her head so she was now looking up at me, and I was meet with her beautiful blue eyes. I love you to Ali, I say as I place a kiss on her forehead. Now let's get you packed so we can get out of here before your parents get back.

Alison's pov

I stared emptying as much of my clothes as I could fit into my suitcase while Em grabbed some other stuff. I wasn't sure how long I would be gone but this would have to do. If I had it my way I would never come back. I made my way down stairs and Emily carried my suitcase to the car while I wrote a note for my mum and left it on the bench.

Dear Mum. I'm staying at a friend's house for the rest of the week until her Mum gets home call if you need love Ali- xo.

I felt kind of bad about leaving my mum alone with him, but I knew he wasn't abusing her, so at least I knew she was safe. The drive over to Emily's was short, and when we got inside she told me to make myself at home. I unpacked my stuff in her room before walking downstairs and into the kitchen. So what now? I questioned Em. "Well, we have the whole house to ourselves so I could think of a few things" she says while raising an eyebrow. I smirked at her before walking around the counter and joining her. Oh you can, can you? I laughed waiting to see what she would say. "Yep first how about we make some brownies?" She looks at me like it was the best thing she's ever suggested so I went along with it. We started to make them and we were totally making a mess. We were not even following a recipe, just adding what we thought we needed. I watched as Emily dipped her finger into the mixture and brought it closer to her mouth to taste it. Before she could though, I decided to stop her. Taking her hand her eyes watched me as I placed her finger on my lips and began to suck it. Smiling when I heard her moan slightly.

I was in the middle off cooking when I went to taste the mixture. I smirked at Ali when she went to stop me and beat me to it, by gently licking my finger clean. If she was going to torture me then two could play this game. I lifted Ali up by the waist and sat her on the counter, I felt her wrap her legs around me pulling me closer and as she went to kiss me but I pulled away slightly, before re dipping my finger in the chocolate and wiping it on her face. Ali squealed and I laughed at her attempt at pretending to be mad. I felt her reach behind herself and grab a hand full of flower, and she then threw it in my hair, while keeping me trapped between her legs. The two of us continued to cover each other in chocolate and flower until we eventually had to stop from all the laughing." I so need a show now to get this all off" she says, in a huff. Mmm no you don't I have a better idea. She looked at me confused but I ignored her grabbing both of her hands and locking our fingers together.

I crashed our lips together immediately tasting the chocolate on her lips. I smiled and continued kissing her until I was satisfied there was no more chocolate on her lips, I then broke the kiss and removed my lips attaching them to her neck to work on that spot. I felt Ali moan as she felt me lick and such at her skin. Hearing her moan was the best sound I have ever heard and I was glad that I had this kind of effect on her. When all the chocolate was completely gone, I smiled before breaking the hold she had on me to get away. "Hey where do you think your going?" she questioned me. I'm going upstairs to take a shower and cool off, I wink at her as I make my way to the stairs, and she follows me. "Hey that's so not fair." She pouts. We're taking it slow remember. She huffed, "You're such a tease." Oh like your not, you know you love me. I walked towards her placing a kiss to her cheek. Now I'll be really quick then the shower is all yours. She smiled at me and I watched as she headed back into the kitchen. When I came back down from the shower in a clean change of clothes I noted she had decided to clean up. Hey you didn't have to clean up, I would have helped. "It's fine Em, really." She smiled. So how about you take a shower I'll set up the movie, and we can order in from the brew like we did the first time we hung out except we can get it delivered? "Sounds great Em, I'll be back in a few". I smiled heading into the lounge and calling the brew to place the order. Two hours later we were half way through the movie, when I noticed Ali was asleep. Not wanting to wake her, I quietly turned off the TV and picked her up carrying her in my arms to my room and I gently placed her on the bed. I hopped in pulling the covers up and lied down next to her. I can't believe her dad would want to hurt her, someone as beautiful as Ali doesn't deserve this. closing my eyes I thought to myself that as long as she is in my arms, no one not even her dad could hurt her and that was exactly where I wanted her to stay.
