Chapter 40
Who knows what the future holds
So I don't know about all of you, but I am way to excited that PLL is back guys! What did you all think of 5x14? I cried when Emily said goodbye to Paige, not because I liked Paige but because any time I see shay cry on PLL I cry too. I thought the episode was really good, but I just want the girls to hurry up and apologise to Ali. I will always be team Ali and I don't think she killed Mona or Bethany. At this point in time, my Mona suspects are Paige or mike, And I can't wait for next week.
I'm sad to say that this is my last chapter of GC :( and I want to start off by saying a huge thank you to the people who have been with me from the start, and to anyone who has taken the time to ready my story. Writing for you guess makes me happy, and I'm so thankful for all the people who leave me reviews. There will be a sequel to this story, called I belong with you, following Emily and Alison's relationship during and after college. I have decided to focus on just Emison, so I will no longer be writing Haria. The story will including spencer and Paige along with some new characters and a brief mention of Hanna and Aria. I also will be attempting my first faking it story, so for anyone that also likes faking I hope you read it. As for now I hope you enjoy this last chapter and I will try my best, to have the first chapter of I belong with you up by next weeks PLL episode.
Emily's pov
As much as I didn't want it to, the rest of winter went by way to quickly, and before we new it spring was here. It's now only days away from graduation, a week today until I leave Rosewood and Filly, and I'm walking around my room packing things into boxes to take with me. My girlfriend came over an hour ago, she said she wanted to help, but really I think she just doesn't want to be alone when she knows everything's about to change. Of course I said yes as soon as she asked, and for now I'm letting her get away with changing the subject when I bring up our future plans, but honestly there is only so many times I can do that. She knows we have to talk about it eventually, but she insists on living the last week together like nothing's going to change.
Walking over to my desk, I start collecting note pads, pens, pencils and anything I new I would need to take. Ali sat on my bed writing in her journal, and I caught her looking at me. Her cute dimples showed more than once, and every time we made eye contact she would blush and look away. When I started on my clothes, I decided that as much as I'd like to take them all, It wouldn't be necessary. My parents are going to keep this as my room when I leave for college, and for more then half of that I will be in uniform so I just decided to take my favourites. I placed a bag on my window seat, and began neatly folding my jeans and shirts, however I couldn't help but notice that Ali had stopped writing and was now watching me closely. When I pulled out a t-shirt that Ali always wears when she stays the night, I unfolded it and brought it closer to my face before hugging it and breathing in her smell.
"Babe what are you doing"? I can hear Ali finally speaking to me. I smile as I make my way over to my bed. What does it look like I'm dong? You have worn this top that often that it smells like you. I think that's one of the things I'm going to miss most when we leave. Ali sighed and looks away, "Em we don't have to talk about"... Hey we both know that we need to talk okay, what's bothering you so much? You have barley said two words since you got here. I crawled my way closer towards Ali adjusting the pillows and patting the spot In between my lap. " I'm scared of what the future will hold, it's easier to just push the thought of not seeing you every day or every week away, Not having you around whenever I want is going to suck, I didn't realise how attached we have become until recently. What if after two months in, we start to drift apart, we see each other less, talk less, and become to busy with college to even have time to think about dating. What if I screw it up, or you meet someone else, someone who is amazing for you. I don't want to feel like I'm annoying you if I text or call to much, I'm scared because I don't wanna be like most high school couple who say there different. That they will make it after high school and then don't. I wish I got into Stanford so much, because I'm not ready to let you go yet.
Ali, it's okay to be scared, I am too, but not talking about it and ignoring how you feel will make it worse. It's okay to have your doubts as long as you still want this as much as I do? "I do Em I just didn't know how to tell you". Good, you had me worried for a Sec. Are you going to tell me what you were writing about before? " would you believe me if I said you?" Ali turned to see my face and It had a huge grin on it. Me? can I see it? "Umm no way, it's just like a diary entry, it's not even... It's not even that good, you know I'm not good with words, that's why I write how I feel". Oh come on babe, now I have to read it. I reach across her in a attempt to grab it but frowned and pouted, when she pulls it out of my reach first. When we locked eyes, I could see her head fighting not to give in, but when she realises that my pouts not going away, she reluctantly hands it to me with a sigh. "Fine you can read it". I break into a smile when I feel her lips momentarily on mine, and when she pulls away she creates a small space between us to allow me to read.
Dear diary,
It's April 12th, and Emily called last night, she told me she was planing on packing up some of her room today, and I told her I'd come over to help. That's exactly what I did, but since I got here I haven't moved. It's silent, like my head won't stop talking but My mouth won't move. I go to get up but then I think if I help, it's like I'm saying I'm okay with her leaving, and I am really i am, but there is a part of me that's not, that's not ready for college, for her to go, and I think that some how if I don't it will make Time go slower. I know she wants to talk, and I shouldn't shut her down so quickly when she tries because I want to talk too, but I don't know what to say. I'm going to miss her so much, I don't think she will ever understand.
I'll miss the little thing, the way her eyes light up when I walk into a room. The way she still blushes when I complement her, and the feeling of her lips on mine. I'll miss being able to reach for her hand, her smile the one I know she only ever shows me. Being able to see her beautiful face, and falling asleep in her arms. You'd think we were both going away forever, that Im just some hopeless romantic teenager that is Stupid to think We will last, But I don't care because We will. I know because I'm never going to met someone else who is even half as good as she is. What we have, it's for real, "the real thing" at lest I want it to be, I want her to be my forever and that's what scares me. I don't want to loss her, I can't stuff this up, not before it even starts.
I closed the diary I had got for her, and was met with her blue eyes starring intently, but also nervously at me. without speaking I pulled her towards me for a kiss, that I only wish could have lasted longer . I want you to be my forever too Ali, we can do this, I mention that first so she can relax. I have an idea, what if we write to each other? "Em are you serious? We are not moving countries just 4 hours away". I know but it could be fun, we each can write a letter when we have time, and post it, that way we will have something to look forward to. "Okay, What about messages how much is to much, I was serious when I said I don't want to be annoying". Hey, you could never be annoying babe, you should see my face when you text me. Aria always teases me about how it lights up just by seeing your name. " We should to set a time to speck on the phone, I want to be able to hear your voice". Deal, we can work it all out. We can Skype on weekends, and any public holiday, long weekends, or college time off we can take turns in visiting each other. "That sounds great, but it's not going to feel normal again for the next three years is it"? Maybe not, and I'm sure there will be times when I miss you like crazy, but it will be worth it in the long run. "Your right it will".
Ali let go of my hand, and rolled onto her side, curling her body into me. wrapping her arm around my waist tightly I took in a deep breath . Babe I love it when you hug me, but I can't breath. Ali laughed but loosen her grip slightly without moving. What about the rest of my stuff? "It can wait, I promise in half an hour I will actually help you. As for Right now I just want you to hold me, so I can enjoy every little bit of the last week we have left".

True to form, I did end up helping Em with the rest of the stuff, when we were done she took me out for dinner before dropping me off to Spencer's. Tomorrow is Monday, and we graduate on Thursday morning. Spencer's last day is tomorrow, and she is graduating Tuesday afternoon. Emily and I agreed to go to their ceremony, and in return spencer and Paige will be going to ours. I managed to convince Emily to stay at our apartment the night before graduation, and until she leaves which means I have her for 4 night and I'm planing on making the most of it.
On Tuesday afternoon I was waiting for Em to pick me up. School had finished and Toby was on his way to pick up spencer. Walking into Spencer's room she had on a black dress and her red gown. She smiled at me when I came in. "Can you please fix my hair? You will make it look perfect, I suck at this stuff". Hey spence relax, you look great sit down. I pointed to the couch in her room, and when she did I began braiding her hair to the side. Placing her cap on top, I smiled as I pulled out my phone to take a picture. "Ali what are you doing? I told you before no photos, my parents will already be bad enough" oh come on spence just one before you go, I'm proud of you and I'm sure your speech will be great. One thing spencer neglected to tell me about her high school life, is that she is school caption. Am I surprised No, but weather she wants to admit it or not, It's a big deal and it helped me to understand why she got into all three colleges. Spencer rolled her eyes at me before smiling and letting me take the photo, an as soon as I was done we heard the door bell and she told me that it would be Toby. Spencer's parents we're heading to the school straight from work, and I told her that when Em gets here we would walk together.
When Em arrived she looked dead seat gorgeous, she was in a short black dress showing of her tanned legs and I smiled at her. I had decided on a pink dress that hugged every part of my body. When we arrived, we found our seats that Veronica had saved and watched as each student collected there certificate. We clapped and cheered for both Paige and Jenna, and when it was time for Spencer's speech she looked at me and I gave her a thumbs up. When the ceremony was over and people started saying hello and taking photos with there guest, we walked over to congratulate the girls. Hey guys congrats, I smiled at both Jenna, and Paige and gave spencer a hug. Emily complement spencer on her speech, and wished Jenna good luck in college, before starting a casual conversation with Paige. You look beautiful Paige, you must be glad it's finally over, my eyes widen when she said that but I pretended not to hear it. "Thanks Em you clean up nice yourself, I am glad I can't wait to get to Stanford. Let me know what time your planing to leave Sunday, I will swing by to say goodbye to spencer and then just follow you up there". Sounds great Paige, I'll let you know, you better get back to your parents. Paige smiled and hugged Emily goodbye, despite the fact she could see us holding hands. "Bye spence, bye Jen I'll see you at the graduation party tonight".
I looked at Emily and it was like she new what I was going to say, she leaned into me detaching our hands and wrapping her arm around my waist. Turning her head so she could whisper in my ears she said "don't worry babe I was being polite, she doesn't look as hot as you do in that dress, I think I've been caught staring at you more than ones" she pulled away, and I looked at her to see her bitting her bottom lip, and any worries I had immediately went away. I'm off guys I'll see you later spencer, Jenna smiled and we waved goodbye. Same with us spencer, I have to walk Em home, and you should find Toby. "yeah my parents are probably grilling him with question". I laughed, "thanks for coming guys" your welcome, I'll see you at home.
On Wednesday, Emily, Hanna, Aria and I had coffee at the brew before our last day of school. We were finishing at twelve, and my mum and grandma D were due to arrive at 3. I was thankful that Jason had offered to deliver the rest of my stuff to our new apartment with spencer today, because Veronica had offered my mum and gran a place to stay. I was more then happy that they were coming down from Georgia for graduation and until Saturday, but was hopping they didn't steal to much of my limited Emily time. After school the two of us headed to my apartment to hang out with spence, and At 3 my mum and gran came past to visit, there way to the Hastings. When I spoke to my mum on the phone, she said she had a surprise for me. Opening up the door I was greeted by them with two warm hugs. "Alison honey it's good to see you, your place looks very nice and I've only seen the outside", thanks gran, Emily's is actually inside I'm sure you would love to see her. "I would I've missed that child, almost as if she were my granddaughter too". I smiled as gran entered the house. So mum what's my surprise? "Well hello to you to, you know I'm not the biggest fan of her, but I brought someone else with me, think of it as a graduation gift". I frowned confused, but when my mum steeped out of the way of her car I could see, cece. OMG mum you didn't? "I did, but please don't make me regret it". I won't thank you, I hugged my mum kissing her on the check, and ran outside to cece. What's up bitch, I can't believe my mum let you come. "Hey, it took a lot of convincing kid, but I wanted to. Tomorrow's a big day for you I wouldn't wanna miss it". How long are you here for? "Just tonight, i leave straight after your graduation, I have a shift at work tomorrow night". Well I'm totally excited your here, you have to meet spencer. "of course I do is she inside"? Yep but please be nice don't scare her. Cece rolled her eyes "oh please" hey don't oh please me, this is her apartment too. Do you have somewhere to stay? "No but don't worry about me, I can just stay in a hotel" no your not doing that you can stay here with me. "Fine whatever you say babe".

When Ali's mum and gran arrived, her gran was first to come inside. "Oh Emily dear it's nice to see you again, how have you been"? I'm good thanks how was the drive? "It was good dear I'm happy to be here". Ali's gran looked at spencer, and smiled. "you must be spencer, I've heard a lot about you, I love what you have done with the place". "I am, and it's nice to meet you". As spencer hugged grandma D, I saw her mum walk in, and I could hear Ali talking to someone else outside. When I heard Ali close the front door she called out to me. "Em you will never guess who my mum brought here". I followed her voice into the hall, and was shocked to see her arm hooked with cece. "Hey their Emily, long time no see. I smiled hey, (not long enough,) I thought to myself as I followed them into the kitchen. "Spencer this is my best friend cece, cece this Is spencer". "It's nice to meet you", spencer held out her hand for cece, and she rolls her eyes at her before she looks at Ali. "She's not serious is she"? Ali nudges her and spoke, she's being polite, relax. cece smiled at spencer before ignoring her and pulling her into a bone crushing hug, similar to the one she had gave me, the first time we had met. Ali made a cup of tea for her gran and her mum, before the two of them headed off to the Hastings, leaving spencer, Ali, cece and me. "So girls this is only my second time in This part of town, remind me again, you do have night clubs don't you"? I rolled my eyes, there is seriously nothing this girls thinks about apart from sex, drugs, and alcohol. "We do", Ali explains "but you can forget any plans you are making in your head, tonight is just a quiet night in, some of us have to graduate In the morning". "Right well what are we waiting for let's start the movies". I watched in shock, as cece walked over and made herself comfortable on the couch. Spencer looked at me, in almost terror and I had to whisper to her to relax. Spencer relax okay, apparently she means well, let's just both try and be nice to her for Ali, at lest just tonight. "Okay fine, but only tonight, I already don't like her she's seems like bad news". Yeah well image how hard it is for me to keep my cool, When she is all over my girlfriend. Spencer laughed at me, well then tonight better go quickly.
During the third movie I began to get tired, spencer had ordered pizza for dinner, and I know Ali had originally asked me to stay the night, but I wasn't feeling all that keen with cece around, so when cece was in the bathroom I finally got a chance to talk to Ali. Hey babe, I think I'm just going to stay at mine tonight, cece's going to need somewhere to sleep. "Em no, stay please, cece...cece can sleep on the couch", babe she's your friend you can't make her sleep on the couch, it's fine, if I go now I'll be home by 11 and go straight to sleep. Ali frowned but when she didn't try and stop me completely, i collect my things. Spencer however did, clearly seeing how much Ali didn't want me to go, but at the same time didn't want to just kick cece out. " Hey Em, you really shouldn't drive this late you look tried, how about you just crash with me I don't bite" I looked at Ali and then back at spencer. umm okay if your okay with that? "I'm okay with it if Ali is", spencer looks at Ali and she nods her head. "It's fine". Okay well thanks spencer, I am tired so if you don't mind I'm going to go to bed, "no problem I am too, so I will see you in their". Spencer headed off to her room, and cece was still getting changed so I said good night to Ali. Ali walked over wrapping her arms around my waist, "I'm sorry she's here", it's not your fault, you didn't know she was coming. "I know, but I'm the one who asked her stay". Ali I would have done the same, how long is she here for? "Just tonight, I promise she said she's leaving as soon as I graduate, I'll make it up to you". You don't have to, we still have 3 more night. "I know, but I will. I smiled before pulling her in for a kiss. I swear cece has the worst timing, because just as we were about to deepen it she came back out. "so bitches, what did I miss? Ali pulled away, and I stiffened a laugh when Even she looked frustrated. I'm going to bed night babe. I kissed Ali on the head and walked toward Spencer's room closing the door behind me. "How did it go"? Just great, I mumble sarcastically as I hope Into the bed. Ali said she's sorry that she's here, and I told her it wasn't her fault Thank god she's leaving tomorrow. "Why do I feel like she's up to know good"? Spencer questions me, Because she probably is. I swear I know I was the one to say let's be nice for Ali's sake, but I don't know how much more of her I can take.
"Don't worry I have a plan, I'll get her out of your way in the morning". I smiled thanks spencer, "your welcome, get some sleep okay it's almost graduation day".
The next day was Thursday, and when I woke up I smiled. I momentarily forgot that I was sleeping with spencer, and when I looked besides me the bed was empty, and I realised she was already up. Throwing on my hoodie, I walked out into the kitchen to the smell of toast and the three girls. Ali and cece were siting at the bench with their backs to me, and spencer was leaning against the sink. She raised her eye brows at me and when she thought Ali wasn't looking, she pocked her tongue out and pointed at it ( in a sick) sort of way referring to cece. I chuckled walking over to Ali and wrapping my arms around her waist. Morning babe how did you sleep? I questioned her as I placed a kiss to the top of her head. Ali looked up at me, but before she could speak cece did. "We slept great right Ali, I haven't slept that good in ages probably since our last sleepover. I forgot how much you like to cuddle". I rolled my eyes and looked at spencer for help, Who was giving cece an un impressed glare. when spencer cleared her throat, It seemed to catch everyone's attention. "You know cece I know we don't know each other that well yet, but how about you and me go and get a coffee at the brew this morning, you know on the way to the ceremony"? I looked at cece and she sat at the bench tapping her finger as if deciding wether spencer was worth her time. "Alright Hastings, but only because I don't say no to coffee. Give me five and I'll be ready". "Okay I'm holding you to that". The two of them left the kitchen, and I caught spencer winking at me on the way to her room, Obviously Ali did too. "What was that about"? Oh nothing, it's just Spencer's way of letting us be alone to get ready. "Well remind me to thank her once cece is gone". Oh don't worry I will babe. I sat down next to Ali taking cece's set, and placed my hand on her knee. Ali passed me her second peace of toast that she didn't want, and she watched me eat it. "To answer your question from before babe, I slept okay, but I always sleep better with you". I smiled standing up and taking my plate to the sink, good answer babe, I smirk as she turns in her seat. When spencer and cece finally left I let out a relief sort of breath, and it was like Ali new what I wanted because she practically pounced on me, until I was lying down on the couch with her on top of me. We continued kissing each other for ages, and as much as I wanted to continue It further I new we didn't have time. Babe I need to shower, " I know so do I, so I'll just shower with you". Babe we don't have... " time? Yes we do come on, we will be quick, I promise no funny business just a shower". Ali rolled off me, and stood up holding out her hand. Fine, but if we are late it's going to be your fault.
Graduation was perfect, Ali, Aria, Hanna and I all sat in the front row with our blue gowns and caps on. When we received our certificate, we lifted the strings on our hats from the left to the right, and Spencer did a great job at keeping cece entertained. when it was time for photos spencer offered to take some of the four of us. Aria jumped on Hanna's back, and Ali jumped on mine, on the count of three they threw their hats up in the air mid photo. Paige came, but only stayed long enough to show her face. Ali walked cece out the front of the school, thanking her for coming and waited until the taxi arrived to take her to the train station. Since Mona was the one hosting the after party, the girls and I, just decided to head to the brews with our families instead. when it was 5pm people started leaving, and Ali told her mum and gran, that her and Jason would be picking them up tomorrow for dinner. Spencer was staying at Toby's tonight so Ali and I had the house to ourselves, and that was something I new we were both looking forward to.

Friday I spent every moment with Emily, until the night. We lay in bed content on just cuddling and didn't get up until noon. I made bacon and eggs and then the two of us went for a walk to the park. We Walked down to the local stores to see what was close bye, and I even went inside to a small restaurant and Applied for a job, in the off chance I would get it. Emily had to quiet her job at the brew, but with her charm I new it wouldn't be hard for her to get one near Stanford. Before making our way back home, Emily made plans with her parent for dinner, and that made me feel better about the plans I had with mine. The two of us had to drive back to rosewood separately, but Em agreed to let me pick her up from her parents on the way home. It was nice spending time with Jason, mum, and gamma D. I told them about how I planed to major in journalism for college, but that I would also be studding English literature. I was glad when my mum was okay with me not choosing to become a lawyer, and when she told me she was proud of the daughter I had become I almost cried. I had wanted to hear someone in the family say that for a while, and it felt even better coming from my mum. When we were leaving my gran slipped me and envelope, and when I opened it and saw a check for 2,000 I could have die. Gran I can't... This... This is way to much. "No it's not honey, I want to help. Your fathers no longer around, and I know it's going to be a ruff 3 years of college money wise so think of it as a graduation present. You could buy a car, pay off some of your college fees whatever, I just want to see you happy". Thank you, thank you so much you have no idea how much this is going to help me. I felt a tear escape my eye and gran wiped it. "Your welcome dear, your mother and I love you very much, I hope you know that". I do, I love you guys too. I slipped the envelope into my hand bag before walking gran out to the car where mum and Jason were waiting. call me when you guys get home okay? My mum nodded. "We will honey take care of yourself ok, were leaving first thing tomorrow so we should be home by 1pm". I nodded and waved as I watched Jason drive off towards the Hastings to drop them home. As I got into my car, I smiled to myself the whole way to Emily's. When I arrived, I tooted the horn and she came outside. "How was dinner"? Great actually how was yours? "it was good, always better when my dad's home". I smiled lacing our hands together, as the two of us feel into a comfortable silence.
Hey, I almost forgot to tell you babe, guess what my gran gave me? "What"? Well she said it was sort of a graduation gift, she said that because my fathers no longer in the picture she wanted to help, She... She gave me a check for $2.000 dollars! Emily's eyes widen, "your kidding right"? Nope it's in my bag. I watched as Emily pulled out the envelope and realised I was serious. "What.. What do you plan to do with it"? I'm not 100 percent sure yet, but if I get that job, I think I'll by a car. I've never had one and I will need it to visit you. I can't use Spencer's car all the time, the rest can go toward paying of some college fees and spencer, for buying most of the furniture in our apartment. "Well whatever you decide to do with it will be great I'm sure babe".

Saturday was my last full day before leaving for college, I had said my goodbyes last night to my parents and was spending every minute of my last day with the person I love most. Paige was coming over at 10am tomorrow and so were the girls, so we could all say goodbye. "You know what I hate most babe"? Ali questions me as we lie in her bed. What? "I hate not knowing when the next time we will get to do something as simple as this is going to be". I know I hate it too, but let's make the most of today ok? No crying, just you and me alone together all day, what do you think? "I think that sounds perfect", Ali smiles before reaching to take my bottom lip in hers. I moan as I allow her entrance into my mouth, and I pull her impossibly closer. "We need to to get up", Ali States as her mood suddenly goes from sad to exited all at once. "I have somewhere we can go, but you need to be ready in 10". I smirk liking the fact she's keeping it a secret. Trust me I will be ready it's you that won't. I pocked my tongue out before walking over to my bag and getting changed. slipping on some jeans and a black shirt, I dug around for my sandals, and grabbed my over the shoulder purse before placing my hair into a mess bun. Grabbing my keys and sunnies off the bench, I waited for Ali at the door. When she was finally ready I pointed out the fact that she took 14 minutes and she was quick to tell me not tease her. I had to admit, her yellow singlet, black skinny jeans and boots made her look cute, it brought out the colour of her hair Which she had curled perfectly. Instead of telling me where we were going, she drove and because it was our last day I didn't even try to get it out of her. We held hands the whole car ride, and when we arrive I still had no clue where we were. Ali lead me through a small cafe where an old lady greeted us. "Oh Alison your back, Margaret didn't I tell you she would be back? Would you and your friend like some scones"? Ali smiled politely. "Hello Rita, I think me and my friend will go out the back first, but be sure to save some for us. "Of course, it's nice of you to bring your friend here, is this the one you were telling me about"? I looked at Ali and she blushed taking my hand. "she is", "Well then the two of you love birds have fun I'll have Margret prepare you a plate.
Stepping back outside I finally was able to see what it was. There was a small strawberry farm out the back with a sign that read strawberry picking. I smiled taking in how cute her idea was. A old man handed us a basket each and Ali eagerly took off. "I found this place the other day you know, I went for a walk and was lost, when I came in Rita told me how to find my way home. She told me that she owns the place with her wife Margaret and gave me some food for free. I thought she was sweet, and when she told me that I should bring my special someone back here, obliviously I thought of you". I think it's cute babe that you made a friend, she reminds me a lot of grandma D. "she does, she told me about how her and Margaret met and fell in love, it's nice to know that there are couples out there like us who have made it to old age together". I smiled at how amazing my girlfriend is an wrapped my arm around her neck. The two of us spent around an hour outside picking strawberries before Ali insisted we head in before Rita comes looking for us. When we headed inside, there were only five other people in the cafe. We sat at a table and Margret brought out two plates, one with two scones and one with melted chocolate and strawberries. "Rita said that it's on the house, you two ladies enjoy". Thank you, the two of us began to eat, and Ali was right Rita's scones were amazing. We both took turns feeding each other the strawberries and chocolate with a fork, until neither of us could possibly eat anymore. When Rita came over to use to clear our plates, she handed us a container with the rest of the strawberries we had picked. "Did you enjoy yourselves today girls"? We did, your cooking is Amazing. "That's very sweet of you to say Emily". "Are you sure we don't owe you anything for this? Alison questions her. "No like I said it's on me, you two remind me so much of Margaret and I when we were young, your always welcome back here, have a good rest of your day girls". We will, Ali smiled and the two of us headed out to the car. For the rest of the day, we cuddled on the couch back at Ali's, watching Ali's favourite movies. I couldn't have asked for a better way to spend the day and at night when we were in bed, I was almost tempted to stay awake the whole night, just so it would last longer, but Ali wouldn't let me.
The next morning was Sunday, and Ali woke me up to the smell off coffee. I sat up in bed, taking it, and patting the spot next to me telling Ali to get back in. We sat in relative silence, but it wasn't an awkward silence it was a good one. I grabbed a shower before the girls were due to arrive, and Ali pretty much clung to me the whole morning until it was time to go. surprisingly I was the one to cry first when I was about to leave. This sucks, " I know mermaid but we will be ok, weren't you the one telling me that a few days ago"? Yeah but... "Hey know buts baby please don't cry, we will see each other sooner than you think okay". Ali dried my tears with her sleeves and I pulled her into me for a long and final hug breathing in her smell. I new she would always be my home. I love you Alison so much that it hurt, "I love you too Emily every single peace of you, drive safe okay and text me so I know you get there safe". I nodded before connecting our lips into a Passionate kiss, tasting the salt from both our tears before reluctantly letting her go. I hugged Aria, Hanna, and spencer and then hoped in my car with Paige ready to follow me. Spencer placed her Arm around Ali, and she curled herself into her. The last thing I do before taking off Is blow her one last kiss. As my feet hit the pedals, I can see her crying in Spencer's arms through the side mirror, and I do too, For I know that I have to fight with myself not to turn back. You can do this Emily, you both can. I talk to myself until I can no longer see her. You can do this because For Right now this is just a small sacrifice you need to make, in order to provide each other with a life time of happiness.
The end.
