YOU CAN'T LEAVE ME ALI
'No' was all that Emily could think of.
'No! No! No! No!'
It was playing in her head on a loop. This was not happening. She was not going to let this happen. Alison was not going to leave with no real safe place to go to. Spencer was not right; not this time.
No! Alison was not leaving her!
As the last thought struck her, she felt her chest being crushed. She looked away from the girl she had been staring at tongue-tied.
Who was she protecting, herself or the girl she claimed to be helping? She almost felt ashamed.
"I have to leave Emily," she heard the words, but nothing really registered. Emily looked back at Alison, to find that the blonde had stepped closer to her. She could see the blonde's lips moving but she didn't really hear anything.
She looked into those deep blue eyes and found them almost brimming with…
It couldn't be. It was gratitiude, that's what it was. It had to be! Alison had known her for less than 12 hours. It couldn't be anything except gratitiude.
"No." She had said it softly. "You can't leave me Ali." It was almost inaudible to anyone except herself.
… and yet her words reached Alison.
Alison's heart missed a beat at the way the word 'Ali' rolled off the brunette's lips; almost like a sweet chord on the piano. But that wasn't all!
Emily had not just asked Alison not to leave. Emily had asked her not to leave 'her'.
Surprise! It's the shortest chapter ever. I'm evil, I know that. :) Leave me a line if you like what you read and definitely tell me if you hate it. Or you can just talk to me on twitter (shaylovesjustme).
