Hey guys sorry for the long wait, I've had a serious case of writers block but I think I'm all over it now. Anyway, enjoy the new chapter and can I just give a big thanks to my amazing new Beta freefallinmind I owe you one!
The next morning Alison woke to a painful start, somewhat startled she sat up naked with a pounding headache. The memories of last night slowly crept back into her mind and dropped her head into her hands in shame. She had been so wasted last night that she brought some stranger back to her house for a meaningless hook up, something she has never done.
Alison quickly looked around her room, hey eyes scanning for her mysterious lover from the previous night. Just as she had come to the conclusion that he had left, she heard a loud banging noise in the kitchen. Alison winced and grabbed her head in pain before quickly throwing some clothes on and heading out to the kitchen.
"What on earth is going on out her...Elliot?" Alison, in shock stood frozen. Surely he wasn't the man she had slept with last night.
"Your friend just left, I thought I could put some coffee on for us." Elliot smiled while gesturing over to the fresh brewing pot of coffee.
"What are you doing here Elliot?!" Alison snapped while crossing her arms over her chest.
"Alison, why don't you take a seat and I'll whip us up some breakfast?" Elliot stated while moving closer to the blonde woman.
"How about… no! Why are you even here?!" Alison shouted at the older man.
"My lawyer wanted to drop these off, but I thought it would go better if they came from me." He smugly pulled a large brown envelope out of his coat and handed it to Alison.
"What are these?" Alison asked confused.
"This is what I'm willing to offer you, without having to go to court. Can't we just sort this out between us Ali?" He pleaded with her.
"You want 50% of my estate and 50% of the house value? You have got to be kidding me?" Alison asked in an angry tone.
"I think that's more than fair Alison…" He smiled.
"For starters…Elliot, I inherited that estate from my grandparents before we even met so it has nothing to do with you. As for the house, I bought the house! You did nothing, like always!" Alison shouted before throwing the papers at him.
"I understand that you are quite angry at the moment, but why don't you take a few days to think it over." Elliot suggested.
"Elliot, get the hell out of my house before I pour this boiling hot coffee over your stupid head!" Alison shouted at the man while smirking wickedly. Without another word, Elliot quickly exited the blonde's house leaving her extremely angry, hung-over and late for work.
"…And then Ms. Smith had the nerve to ask me where I purchased my fried chicken!" Emily's mom had been recounting the events Emily had missed since her last visit to the Texas. The Army Base where her parents lived and her Dad was stationed. Emily tried to humor her mom, but wasn't really listening. She couldn't help but stare at the clock, counting down the minutes until Dr. DiLaurentis got there for morning rounds. Slowly, Emily began to get worried as the blonde doctor was already 10 minutes late for rounds which happened to be very uncharacteristic of her. Her worries were soon laid to rest when she saw Dr. DiLaurentis walk past her room.
"That's great mom. No offense, but you look exhausted. Why don't you go back to the hotel with Dad and get some rest? I'm in good hands here and you guys can always come back tonight after some well needed rest." Emily suggested while taking her mother's hand in hers.
"That sounds like a great idea Emmy…you need your rest too remember." Emily's father said before placing a kiss on her head and walking over to his wife.
"We will be back in a few hours, if anything happens in the meantime get the nurse to call us straight away!" Pam says sternly before kissing Emily on the cheek and leaving the room with her husband.
Emily was more than relieved that her parents had left, this would give her some time to rest. It also meant that her morning rounds with Dr. DiLaurentis wouldn't be cut short due to her parents interfering. Emily didn't know what was happening with her, she just couldn't seem to get the blonde doctor out of her mind. She wanted to know more about her, but see knew it wouldn't be easy to get through the walls the blonde doctor seemed to have up. This is going to be a challenge but I'm up for it she thought to herself.
Alison wasn't in any state to start her rounds just yet. After her run in with Elliott this morning she just needed to calm down and get her head together. She couldn't believe the nerve of that jerk, demanding half of her wealth that she obtained before she even met him. As she continued walking deep in thought, she soon realized her feet seemed to have brought her to Ms. Fields room. She stopped outside and listened to see if the woman was alone. Much to her dismay Emily wasn't so Alison quickly passed the room and made her way to the nurses' station in search of Nurse Peters.
"Where is Nurse Peters?" Alison demanded from the clueless male Nurse that she had encountered the other day.
"Umm...umm, oh thank god, she's over there!" Mike said almost pissing his pants at the sight of the blonde doctor.
"Thank you…" Alison said in a softer tone before heading over to Nurse Peters.
"Good Morning Dr. DiLaurentis." Betty happily greeted while looking at a patient's records on the computer.
"I had a visitor this morning…" Alison said quietly.
"If you're out, then go to the clinic on 3 they give them out like lollipops. Just tell them it's a code red." Betty said calmly.
"Not that kind of visitor! The human kind of visitor!" Alison slightly snapped at the older woman.
"Elliott?" Betty asked in shock, silently hoping and praying that it wasn't him.
"Unfortunately it was. Can you believe that bastard is trying to get everything out of me even though he is the one who cheated?!" Alison sternly whispered to the older woman.
"He can't do that and he knows that! He's trying to scare you into giving into his crazy demands." Betty said, while placing her hands on Alison's arms.
"You're right, I just need to calm down." Alison said while taking a long overdue breath.
"Your favorite patient has been asking for you, she is due another round of morphine." Betty smirked knowingly at the blonde.
"That woman is going to be the death of me." Alison smiled smugly at her friend before heading towards Emily's room.
Alison couldn't help but smile as she made her way to Emily's room. For once she truly was enjoying her time dealing with a patient and she couldn't for the life of her figure out why.
"Knock knock...anyone home?" Alison joked, while walking to Emily's room only to see Emily passed out with blood pooling around her incision.
"Nurse! Can I get a nurse in here NOW!" Alison screamed while running over to press the blue button above the brunettes bed.
