Hey guys, thanks for all the awesome reviews you left me on my last chapter they really do mean the world to me. Let me know what you guys think of this new chapter and I'd also like to thank my beta reader for getting this to me as quickly as possible so that I can share it with you amazing human beings!

Alison's POV

Why didn't she listen to me! I told her to rest, now look at where we are. She managed to tear her stitches open slightly, if she had called for help when it happened we would have got her all patched up in seconds but she didn't! So here we are, in surgery once again. She lost a lot of blood. There were a few times when the other surgeons and nurses all thought that we had lost her but I never gave up, I wasn't ready to give up on her. I just can't…

What I thought may have been a hour long surgery at most has now turned into a two hour surgery. Every time we thought that she was out of the woods we'd find another tear pouring out blood and she'd go again. After a long and tricky surgery I finally made my way out to inform her parents.

"Doctor DiLaurentis! How is she?" Emily's mom ran over to me as soon as I stepped into the waiting room.

"What happened to her? We were with her for a few minutes before we got the call! She was fine." Mr. Fields asked while coming up behind his wife.

"We aren't sure what happened exactly, but I do know that she somehow ripped her stitches. I rushed her into surgery and repaired the rips in her incisions, she's in the ICU now. You can go and see her once she has woken up." I said emotionless, while avoiding eye contact with them. Behind them I noticed a few familiar faces from Emily's first surgery, they sat looking over at us with blood shot eyes.

"But she's going to be okay right?" Mrs. Fields asked while reaching out to grab my hand.

"I will keep you updated Mrs. Fields. I'm sorry but I have to get to my other patients. Please excuse me…" I said before quickly walking away from the devastated parents and friends of the woman I can't seem to get off my mind.

I lied to them. I didn't have any other patients to see, Jenna had checked in on some of them and Mona the others. It was an unspoken rule among us: that if one of us has an emergency surgery, that the others take our patients until we are ready to get to work. I definitely wasn't ready to face other patients yet, not until I knew that Emily was okay...until I knew for sure that she was going to be okay. I quickly made my way to the nearest on-call room, as I just needed five minutes to myself before I could face anyone else in this hospital. Like always, the rooms were locked and most likely being used for sexual activities. So I stomped off to the ER's doctor lounge that is hardly ever used because no one in the ER ever gets a break.

"Oh great you're here…" I said as I walked into to find Mona Vanderwaal sitting in the corner with a book in hand and smirk on her face.

"It's good to see you too DiLaurentis." She said without looking at me.

I decided to ignore her and sit at the other side of the lounge, quietly I lay my head down on the table, readying myself for a quick power nap.

"Your patients are fine by the way…." Mona said just as I was about to drift off to sleep.

"Thanks…" I mumbled without moving from my position.

"Are you just going to sit there and mope all day? My job isn't to run around after your patients you know." Mona snarled at me.

"Can't I just get five minutes to myself?" I shouted while sitting up and staring at her.

"Look DiLaurentis, we all have bad days but that doesn't mean that you get to take it out on everyone around you! Grow up Alison!" Mona snapped back while putting her book down.

"She almost died on me…" I said quietly to myself.

"What are you mumbling about now?" Mona asked while letting out a long sigh.

"Doesn't matter...I appreciate you covering my patients today Mona. Thanks." I said before walking away from the younger doctor.

Emily's POV

Everything hurts…I thought I could hold off until Doctor DiLaurentis came in. I didn't know what had happened. All I knew was that my shoulder hurt like fuck.

The lights in here are blinding, not like my room. I know I'm not there anymore, but I don't know where I am. I remember my parents leaving then waiting for Doctor DiLaurentis to show up...which she never did. I was about to sit up and call for a nurse when the pain started again. This is the worst pain I've ever felt in my whole life.

I can hear someone speaking but I can't understand what they are saying. I tried to look at them but my eyes forced themselves shut every time I tried to open them. My mouth is dry, like I've been sleeping in a desert for years. The voice stopped talking but I think they are still here, I can sense it.

"Emily?" A hear soft voice near my eye. I don't recognize it at first but then it hits me, it's the girl from my dreams over the last few days. The girl that has saved me from the monsters that stalk my dreams each night. I need to see her, I need to know who she is. I fight with my eyes in an attempt to open them, it works for a split second and I see a flash of yellow before they are forced closed once again and sleep takes over my body.

(A few hours later)

The room isn't as bright this time, though I still struggle to open my eyes. I hear a voice again but it isn't her voice. I know this voice, over the last few days I've grown accustomed to hearing this voice bark orders at everyone. Then I hear another voice over the other demanding voice. I like this voice, this is the voice I've been waiting for.

"Ms. Fields? Are you ready to join us in the world of the living?" I open my eyes to see beautiful blue ones staring back at me.

"Is that a joke I sense Doc?" I ask weakly.

"Looks like someone is well on the mend... I need you to take it extremely easy for next few days. We don't want to have another day like yesterday, do we?" The doctor smirked while lifting my t-shirt up slightly to examine my freshly stitched shoulder.

"I'm sorry…" I said while closing my eyes once again.

"For what Ms. Fields?" She asked while pulling my t-shirt back down again.

"For not telling you about the pain...I didn't want to bother anyone." I said while looking at her again. Her face looked softer than usual, like the wall she has built up constantly is slowly but surely starting to break down.

"Emily your health is not a bother to any of us! Don't you think that for one second, our job is to make you better and get you out of here. So you not telling us about being in pain prevented us from doing our job and as you may know by now I hate not doing my job." She smiled at me while taking a seat on the edge of my bed. This is definitely not the same Doctor DiLaurentis I remember, plus she called me Emily! She never does that, I honestly didn't believe that she knew my name even though I've told her on more than one occasion to call me by it.

"You called me Emily…" I said softly while smiling at her slightly.

"Just this once...I'll leave you to rest for a while before I get your parents, if that's okay?" She asked, before reaching over to move a piece of my hair behind my ear.

"I...I don't want to see them yet." I said, my cheeks suddenly started to become hot.

"That's okay, I can sit with you if you want…" She suggested while reaching over to grab my chart off the table.

"You don't have to, I'm sure you have other patients to see." I said while moving slightly so that I wasn't as close to her. I don't know why I'm acting like this, she's my doctor for christs sake.

"You shouldn't be moving around Emily, you need to stay still." She said while getting off my bed. "Here, now you have more room." She said while smiling and taking a seat on the visitors chair.

"Where were you, the day it happened?" I asked drawing her attention away from the chart she was scribbling some notes on.

"I was late into work, I had an unexpected visitor." She said before going back to writing her notes.

"Do tell Doctor DiLaurentis…" I said while raising my eyebrow at her.

"I believe that this is a story for a different time Ms. Fields, don't you?" She asked. Looks like I'm back to Ms. Fields then.

"I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable...I just want to know more about you." I said quietly.

"I want to tell you...it's just not appropriate when you're my patient. I shouldn't be sitting here telling you about my problems." She laughed slightly, but I could tell that she was uncomfortable.

"I think I'd like to see my mom now...I'm sure she's been worried." I said making her frown for a second. I really don't understand what is with her sometimes.

"I'll go and get them now...I'll be around to see you first thing tomorrow." She said before reaching over and squeezing my hand.

"Goodbye Doctor DiLaurentis." I squeezed back.

"Alison, my name is Alison. Rest up Emily." She smiled before disappearing out of my room. Alison? It suits her perfectly. I can't wait to see her again tomorrow to get to know more about this mysterious Doctor Alison DiLaurentis.
