Emily's POV

The next morning I wake up with my arm draped over a still sleeping Alison. I smile to myself. I lean up and kiss her shoulder. As my hand lay on top of hers, I lace our fingers together and am startled when she squeezes back. She must be awake. I scoot closer and snuggle my head into the nape of her neck. I don't want to but I go to untangle myself from her because I really have to pee.

Alison: groaning. "Where are you going?"

Emily: "To the bathroom."

Alison: "But you were keeping me warm!" She pouted.

Emily: I laughed. "Sorry babe. I'll be right back."

I go to get up and my leg is really sore. I groan in pain as I get up.

Alison: turning her body and sitting up. "Are you okay?"

Emily: I nod my head. "Yeah. You can lay back down. My leg is just a little sore."

Alison: she gets out of the bed and walks over to my side, grabbing my hands. "C'mon I'll help you walk."

I take her hands and she puts my arm over her shoulder as she helps me walk.

After I finish I wash my hands and exit the bathroom. Alison is waiting outside the door for me and I smile at her she smiles back. She walks towards me and wraps her arms around my waist and I place my hands on her forearms.

Emily: "So what are our plans today?"

Alison: her smile fades a little and I worry. "I'm not sure how long I can stay today. My dad's coming back today and he wants me home. He wants me to stay with him for a few days. He wants to take me on a mini vacation, maybe three or four days. To just spend time together."

Emily: I furrow my eyebrows. "Do you know where?"

Alison: she shakes her head. "No. I'm not sure what he has planned yet. But I promise I'll let you know as soon as I find out."

Emily: I nod. "How long can you stay then?"

Alison: "We have some time. He's not getting home until around four or five and it's only ten. So we can do whatever, as long as I'm with you." She leans in and pecks my lips.

Emily: "That sounds good. I like having you with me." I smirk at her.

Alison: "I would hope so." She giggles.

I playfully push her and lock our arms together to walk down the stairs.

Emily: "Do you want to go to the Brew for a late breakfast?"

Alison: nodding. "We can do that. You should get out of the house a little. You've been cooped up with your leg and all."

Emily: I sigh. "Then we have to go back up stairs to get dressed." I should've thought this through.

Alison: laughing. "Yeah. Shoulda planned this one better Em." She grabs my hand and I glare at her. "C'mon I'll help you up there."

We make our way up the stairs and back into my room. My thigh is still throbbing, probably from being on it for so long yesterday.

Alison: "It might help a little if you use the crutches today, stay off of it for a while. It might relieve the pain."

Emily: "You're probably right."

Alison: "I am right." She gives me a knowing smirk.

I stick my tongue out at her and she laughs. She grabs some clothes for me and grabs her clothes out of her bag.

Once we're dressed we head to the Brew and of course, Ali drives. I hate these crutches but it feels good to stay off of my leg. The pain is still intense, but not as bad as it was.

We finally arrive at the Brew and Ali takes my crutches out of the back and helps me out of the car. She rests her hand on my back as we walk, since we obviously can't hold hands. I make my way to the couch and sit as she orders. When she comes back she sits right next to me, handing me my coffee and a muffin. I hate the idea of Alison being away for almost a whole week.

Emily: "So you're going to be gone for almost a whole week?"

Alison: she nods her head. "Yep." I think she can sense the sadness in my voice because she continues. "I'll be back before you know it. I'll text or call you everyday. I promise."

I give her a small smile and nod. We're just getting things together again after our fight and now she's leaving. I hate it.

Alison's POV

I can tell she is still upset about me going just by looking in her eyes. I would honestly rather just stay here in Rosewood, but my dad is insisting that we go on a trip to catch up.

Alison: I grab her hand in mine. "I would rather stay here with you. Trust me. But my dad is insisting that we go somewhere to just get away. I don't really have a choice."

Emily: "No I completely understand... I'm just gonna miss you. That's all."

Alison: "And I'm gonna miss you too. But, like I said, it will be over before you know it and I'll be right back here with you. For now let's just enjoy our mini date and the rest of our day before I have to leave."
