Shock To Your System
Disclaimer: I own nothing. No profit made.
An: Extremely Late and Extremely Short! Be prepared! I did mess up with the whole Emily losing her v-card thing. So for all intents and purposes, she did lose her virginity to Maya. It's just better that way.
An: It's been awhile...and that's putting it mildly. The thing is, I don't know where else I can take this story without over doing it and over writing the characters. However, I think that if I can let this story go Maya and Emily can embark on a new adventure. I know so many of you are attached to this story, but I just can't let myself write more without the fear of messing up an already great thing. So let me know!
"What do you think they're talking about?" The blonde asked as she crouched down in the back of The Grill. They somehow managed to sneak into without Jenna and Alison noticing, though that was only because their significant others had been sent home, unhappily at that.
"For the hundredth time, I don't know Hanna." Spencer whispered harshly as she stared at the terrible twosome.
"No need to get snippy about it." Hanna grumbled.
Aria sighed, "Has anybody heard from Emily and Maya yet?" Spencer and Hanna shook their heads solemnly. "I'm like two seconds from just approaching them…I mean; we have to do something, don't we?" She trailed off, unsure.
"YOU KNOW WHAT, FUCK YOU JENNA!" Any response they had died on their lips as they watched Alison stand from her place and yell at Jenna. "I don't know why I even bothered coming. You said this was about Emily and I should have known, god I should have known that it wasn't. This is just another stupid ploy of yours to get what you want. I'm done here." The blonde sneered.
Jenna stood and pulled her back, "Oh you don't get to play little miss innocent Alison. You're no better than I am. You'll never be nothing more than a selfish, self-absorbed, cold, heartless bitch." Jenna laughed. "Like you actually care about Emily…you know it didn't take much convincing for you to turn your back on her, and what, now you've grown a conscience? Priceless." Jenna laughed as she grabbed her purse. "You're trash, hypocritical trash at that. You think Emily actually gives two shits about you after what we did to her? Please."
"Shut. Up." Alison gritted out. "I made a mistake and I have to live with that, okay. I know I was a shitty person and a horrible friend and girlfriend. I get that and I know they'll never forgive me, but don't you dare try and tell me how I feel, especially about Emily."
Jenna just laughed, "You know, I did have some news for you about your precious Emily. I called you down here because I thought that maybe after hearing about Emily's new girlfriend, you'd finally let her go. I mean seriously, you cheated on her; obviously you don't care too much about her…especially with your grand exit. But whatever, you're so not my problem anymore. Have a nice life."
The three girls watched in utter and complete shock as Alison sunk down into the booth after Jenna's quick retreat. They didn't know what to make of Alison's sudden confession, was it that? As Alison gathered her things and left the diner, they quickly slipped out after her.
They followed her to her car and watched as she fumbled and cursed, looking for the keys she had unknowingly left on the booth table. "Looking for these?" Aria questioned as she dangled the keys.
Alison's body went rigid, and slowly she turned around, facing her past. They didn't know what to expect, well that's a lie. They expect some smart-ass comment. They expected the rude and cruel Alison they all knew so well. They expected anything other than what they saw as the blonde turned around.
Alison looked…weak. "I was just leaving." She said softly, shuffling her weight nervously. "I'm not here to cause any trouble, okay? Just give me my keys, and I'll go…no one will ever know I was here."
The girls knew, that by 'no one' she meant Emily. "Yeah, like we really believe that after your little pow-wow with Jenna." Hanna sneered, practically throwing her keys at her.
"Caught that did you?" Alison said helplessly, folding her arms and leaning back against her car.
"Oh we caught it alright." Spencer stated dryly. "You need to stay away from Emily, she's finally happy and you're not going to fuck that up for her."
"Maya makes her happy, Maya loves her." Hanna added.
Alison whipped her head toward the blonde, a familiar glare adorning her features. "This might be hard for you to understand, trust me I know just how much you all hate me and you have every right to…but don't you dare, don't you dare try and say that I don't love Emily." The three girls were thrown back as the usually cold and calculate Alison Dilarentis cracked under the weight of her own emotions. "I'm a horrible fucking person, I know! The universe never stops reminding me of that. I never deserved Emily okay, is that what you want to hear? She loved me and I just took it for fucking granted and threw her away. I fucking get it! But I fucking love her okay. I was too stupid and too fucking selfish to realize it back then and I fucking ruined everything, but I do love her." She cried openly, startling the friends.
Spencer licked her lips nervously, "What are you doing here?" She asked softly.
Alison chuckled pitifully. "Jenna said she had to tell me something about Emily, she said it was important. I know it was stupid, but I thought…I don't know what I thought, but she's the only one in Rosewood that I have contact with…"
Hanna glared, "Did you think Emily wanted you back? And Jenna was playing fucking match maker?"
Alison looked her right in the eyes, "No, I didn't think that…" Alison didn't say it, but they all knew what she was saying without words. She had hoped that maybe, Emily had forgiven her. "Even if it was just to tell me that she hated me…I would happily give her that." Again Alison cried openly. She cleared her throat, trying to clean herself up. "So she has a girlfriend, Maya?"
The girls shared a look, until finally Aria spoke up. "Yeah."
Alison nodded, knowing the girls wouldn't give out Emily's private information. She respected that. "Does she love her?" they didn't know if she was sincere, but damn if she wasn't she was the greatest actor in the world.
"They love each other." Hanna confirmed. "They're in love with each other." She doesn't know why she said it, but it was out there.
Alison nodded swallowing hard. "Good, good…I'm glad she's happy." She paused. "I'm sorry you know, for everything." She didn't wait for a response as she got in her car and pulled away.
"Well that was weird." Aria drawled.
"Understatement of the century." Spencer added. Hanna didn't say anything; instead she watched Alison's taillights until they faded from sight. "What do we tell Emily?" they looked to the blonde.
Hanna shook her head and bit her lip, "I don't know. I don't know."
"Emily? Say something…please?" Hanna begged.
The girl shook her head and stood from the couch in Spencer's living room. "What do you want me to say Hanna?" Really, what do you say when you find out that the ex that completely destroyed you is still in love with you? Emily didn't know what to say; hell she didn't know what to think. The only thing that stood out was the way it made her feel. She felt angry. She felt sadness, but most of all…she felt nothing. There was no love, no longing for Alison. She realized with a start, that maybe for the first time since meeting the blonde, she felt nothing for Alison.
It was a relief. Emily laughed, startling her friends. She tried to contain it, but it was useless. Her friends looked at her like she was crazy. "Okay…not the reaction we were expecting." Spencer frowned.
"I-I'm sorry." Emily laughed. "It's just, that, I just, realized that it doesn't matter." Emily smiled and shook her head as her laughter stopped. "For the first time since Alison entered my life, she doesn't matter to me, not anymore." She grinned manically, before laughing once more.
Aria leaned over and whispered to Spencer and Hanna. "Break through or break down?" Her friends shrug, none of them knowing how to take Emily's reaction. Things just kept getting weirder and weirder.
"Life seems so boring when we're not dealing with your crazy admirers or your mother's crazy mood swings or "
"I get it." Emily stopped the girl, rolling her eyes indulgently. "My life is full of crazy…still think you made the right choice?" She asked teasingly.
Maya smirked back, "Wait, I had a choice? Why is this the first time I'm hearing about this choice?" Emily gasped, pelting her cheeky girlfriend with a pillow for her comment. Maya laughed and easily pulled the girl down on top of her. She ran her fingers down the side of Emily's face as she smiled up at her. "Falling in love with you wasn't a choice Emily."
Emily blinked, "What was it then?" she whispered back as she lost herself in brown eyes.
Maya smiled, "I like to think it was Fate." Emily smiled and placed a loving kiss on her girlfriend's awaiting lips.
"That was incredibly cheesy." She mumbled into the kiss.
Maya pulled away with an appalled scoff, "Rude!" The two giggled as they tried to over throw one another using ticklish spots and well timed kisses to their advantage. Surprisingly, Emily was the victor as she settled fully atop her girlfriend's submissive body. "You're getting far too good at that." Maya whispered against teasing lips.
Emily smirked, "Practice does make perfect." She pulled back, her eyes alight with mischief.
Maya matched it with her own as she bit Emily's bottom lip playfully and rocked her hips up to meet Emily's. "Then let's practice some more." She purred.
