'I have to leave, Emily. I'm sorry, but I can't stay any longer… '

'But… you can't leave now! After all that's happened between us?! You can't leave

me again! We'll find out who's A and everything will be the way it was!'

'Will we? Because it looks like we will never find out who A is and I can't live like

this!'

'Do you think I can? It's not easy for anyone, Alison! It's not just your battle.. We're

in this mess it together now!''Em, I'm sorry, but I can't stay here just because of

you, okay? Those kisses were nice, but that's it.'

'That's it? Does it mean anything to you? Do you care about me? I can't tell, why

are you breaking my heart again?! I thought you've changed!'

'Oh, Em, don't be naive! People never change!'

Em woke up and looked around. It was just a dream, she thought to herself and felt relieved. It was really easy for Em to not trust Ali again. After all that's happened… When Ali broke her heart and now she's back and she keeps lying to other people. Maybe she lies to Emily, too… That's what Emily didn't know and was afraid of. Getting heartbroken again.

*a new text message*

'Em, have you heard what happened? -A broke into Marin's home when Ali was there! Meet you there in 15 min?

- Spencer'

'I haven't. See you there.' Em replied. She got up and went to the bathroom.

'Em! I'm so glad you're here! Last night was terrible. I wish you could be here with me.'

Ali ran towards Emily and gave her a hug. Emily looked around looking awkward.

'Er—, yea, it's good that you're alright.'

Ali broke the hug and looked into Emily's eyes, but Emily looked away and went to see Hanna. Ali froze and looked confused. Spencer noticed what happened and asked.

'Does anyone want some tea?'

'Yes, please.' Said Aria, who also noticed what just happened.

Later that day at school, Emily talked to Sydney. Apparently Paige hasn't been back at school after that incident with the dead rat. However that wasn't all Sydney wanted to tell her…

'I was thinking… Would you like to get some coffee after school?'

'Sure, why not. Will we meet there or do you want to go together? I can take us.'

'Meet you there. I have to go now, see you later.'

'See ya…'

'I've been looking for you.' said a familiar voice.

'Alison…..Hey… Why were you looking for me?'

'I was wondering if you wanted to go out somewhere after school?'

'Er—, Ali, I've already got some plans. Sorry.'

'Oh, um, what plans? Ali smiled, though you could see in her eyes that it made her feel quite sad.

'Sydney asked me if I wanted to get some coffee with her.'

'Sydney, I don't like that girl, there's something weird about her I can feel it. I'm not sure if you should hang out with her, she's a friend of Paige's?

'Yeah, right, Alison. Don't tell me who I should go out with, could you? Sydney is a good girl and yes, she knows Paige, but it doesn't mean anything.' said Em angrily.

'Relax, Em! What's wrong with you? You've been acting weird lately… I don't like this. Did I do anything bad to you? You can tell me, we can talk about it…'

'Talk about what? I'm sorry, Ali, but I need to get to class.' Em left…

After school Emily went to have a coffee with Sydney, they talked about swimming. When and how they fell in love with swimming and how Emily feels right now, when she knows she can't be a professional swimmer anymore. After that Emily went home to have a dinner with her mom and after that they watched a film together.

When Emily got into her room, she sat by the window and looked outside. It was sunset. Emily loved those pink-shadow. It looked beautiful…a bit magical.

'I screwed it up today with Alison. I should control myself when I'm angry. Was she jealous or what? What's her deal anyway. I'm so confused and Paige? She hasn't texted me yet. Should I call her again? To check up on her…. I guess I shouldn't if she wanted to talk to me, she would. I just feel so sorry for her, it's all my fault. I made her to tell me those names. I'm sure that's why it happened to her. I wish I could tell her how sorry I am. I wished she talked to me…..

It was saturday, Emily looked outside her window, the day was sunny and beautiful. She's finally got some sleep, she's had some weird dreams lately. She looked at her phone and there was a missed call from Alison. Em put her phone away and went to brush her teeth, when she got back someone knocked on her door.

'Come in..' Said Emily.

The door opened and there was Alison.

'Ali? What are you doing here?'

'I thought I'd surprise you. I brought breakfast.' As Ali said that she showed Em 2 coffees and a paper bag. 'I brought tall Americano for you and some donuts.'

'That's very nice of you!Um, thank you, really. I couldn't have asked for a better breakfast.'

They sat down on Em's bed, Ali passed the coffee to Em and let her choose a donut. They were eating and talking about stuff, they were talking mostly about nice things that happened before Ali went missing. They laughed and had a great time. After a while there was that awkward silent when they were looking into each others eyes and not saying anything. Emily didn't know if she should DO something or not. She smiled at Ali and Ali smiled back.

'Er—,Ali, thank you very much for coming here today, it was great having you here, I'm sor—'

But Emily couldn't finish her sentence, because Ali pressed her lips on hers and started to kiss her.

Ali put her hand into Emily's hair and grabbed them softly. Emily leaned on Ali and looked into Ali's eyes and then looked at Ali's lips. Her lips were beautiful. Alison smiled at Emily,you could see her beautiful temples which made her look even more cute - which was almost impossible -, after that Ali put her hand on Emily's neck and pulled her closer to herself and kissed her. They were kissing again, Emily hand went on Alison's neck then a bit down…but when she reached Alison's breast someone rang the bell ring. Both of them froze. They looked at each other for a second than Emily got up and went downstair, Ali went after her. Before she opened the door she asked who was there.

It was Hanna….
