Our day is filled with talking, giggling, and mostly kissing. Before we know it, it's time for me to start heading home. Emily walks me to the door, setting her crutches against the wall and walking towards me.
Emily: wrapping her arms around my waist. "I don't want you to go."
Alison: "I know Em. I'm not big on the idea myself, but my dad wants to do it and I feel like I owe him at least this trip."
Emily: "I know... I'm sorry I'm being selfish."
Alison: I shake my head and cup her face in my hands. "No you're not. You're being the loving girlfriend that you are and I appreciate that. I'd be doing the same thing if it were you leaving."
She nods her head and brings me into a long kiss. As much as I hate ending our kissing, I pull back a few minutes later and pull her into a tight hug.
Alison: "I love you Em."
Emily: "I love you too." She pulls back after giving me a strong but gentle squeeze. "Please call me to let me know where you're going and when you get there."
Alison: I smile at her. "No worries Killer, I will." I give her one last kiss before leaving the house.
I feel so bad leaving her after we've just made up after our fight, but I can't let my dad down. I've been alive these past years, letting him believe I've been dead. I owe him this trip at the least.
Emily's POV
I hate that Alison will be gone for almost a whole week. I hated not seeing her for three days before, it may be even worse now. Ugh I don't know what to do for the rest of the evening. Maybe I'll call Hanna to see what she's up to. I sigh and carefully make my way up the stairs to my room. I lay on my bed and dial Hanna's number. She picks up on the third ring.
'Hanna: Hey Em!
Me: Hey Han. You busy?
Hanna: unfortunately I haven't been busy almost all day. Caleb went to see his mom, so I have been home bored as hell.
I laugh at her comment.
Me: do you wanna come over? And maybe stay the night?
Hanna: sure that sounds fun! Did Ali already leave?
Me: Yep...
Hanna: how long is she gonna be gone for?
Me: just about a week..
Hanna: oh. Well that's not that bad. I'll be over in like fifteen/twenty minutes. Need me to pick something up?
Me: no I'll order some pizza or Thai.
Hanna: ooooh. Get Thai.
Me: okay Hanna. See you soon.
Hanna: bye.'
I shake my head and laugh to myself. Hanna is seriously insane. But I love her. I dial the number for the Thai take-out and order our food.
Half an hour later I hear the door bell and I get off of the bed and grab my crutches. It takes me a while to get down the stairs by myself, but I eventually get the door and see Hanna standing there with our food. I smile at her.
Hanna: smiling. "Hey!" She pulls me into a one-armed hug. "I just grabbed the food and paid the delivery guy." Rolling her eyes. "That guy wouldn't give me the damn food for five minutes."
Emily: laughing. "No problem Han and you didn't have to pay. I would've paid."
Hanna: "It's not a big deal at all. I didn't mind paying."
Emily: "Thanks. Let's go eat."
We're sitting in the kitchen eating and talking.
Emily: "So how have you been?"
Hanna: "A little on the edge again. I mean I haven't gotten anything from the bitch, but she's still out there."
Emily: "I know I have been a little worried too." I shake my head. "But I don't wanna talk about that right now. I want to just relax and hang out... Like normal."
Hanna: sighing and rolling her eyes. "I completely agree. How's your leg?"
Emily: "It's still sore. I had to be on crutches yesterday because it hurt to put pressure on it. I hate not being able to move without it hurting."
Hanna: "It'll get better soon. Mine wasn't nearly as deep or painful as yours, but trust me, the pain will eventually go away."
Emily: "Hopefully soon... So what do you wanna do tonight?"
Hanna: "I wanna do something fun... Ya know to just... Let loose." She then gave me a devious smirk.
Emily: I furrow my eyebrows and cautiously ask her, "Hanna? What're thinking?"
Hanna: she rolls her eyes and then grins at me. "Come on Em. I think you know exactly what I'm thinking."
Emily: "Hanna... Last time I drank, -A kidnapped me and made me think I dug Ali's grave up."
Hanna: "Emily! That was last time! We haven't heard anything from -A or Paige or whoever the hell is out there! C'mon Em... You know you want to." Giving me a knowing smirk.
I honestly wouldn't mind drinking a little to take my mind off of some things and Hanna's right, whoever is out there hasn't done anything.
Emily: I shyly smile at her and give in. "Yeah okay, fine."
Hanna: "Great! Where's your mom's liquor cabinet?" She squealed.
I laughed at her excitement. I showed her where it was and she opened a bottle of Vodka and a bottle of strong red wine.
Once we finished our dinner, we pour our glasses and drink up. In now time me and Hanna are very drunk. I know this was not the best idea that Hanna has ever had, but hey, we're both enjoying ourselves very much right now.
Our whole night was spent drinking. Right now it's noon and I have the biggest hangover headache. I don't even remember coming back upstairs. I rolls over and grab my phone and sober very quickly as I see the screen. Six missed calls from Ali and five texts. Oh no. She's probably pissed. I made a big deal of telling her to let me know when she got there and where she was going. I open the texts and read them.
'Ali- Hey Em you're not answering my calls. Are you okay? Just wanted to let you know that I got here safe. He took me up to Jersey. Love you!'
'Ali- I'm starting to get worried plz txt me back to let me know you're okay.'
'Ali- Em I'm serious this isn't funny... Just plz call me or txt me back!'
'Ali- Emily! What the hell?! You made a big deal of me calling you or texting you and then you ignore me! What the hell is going on?!'
'Ali- whatever... I Hope you're okay... My dad has decided that we're gonna stay a little longer.. Probably close to two weeks.'
I sigh in anger and throw my phone across the room. Luckily it doesn't break. I'm so stupid! She's probably worried sick and my head is killing me. Ugh. I get out of the bed and feel a bit dizzy, but I manage to limp over to my phone and pick it up. Hanna is still sound asleep. I walk out of my bedroom and dial Alison's number, praying that she picks up. Unfortunately she doesn't. So I send her a text instead.
Alison's POV
I'm really worried about Emily. She didn't answer any of my calls or texts last night. I roll off of the hotel bed and make my way to the shower. When I get out I see that I have a missed call from Emily. I scoff. Of course when she calls I'm. In the shower. Then a text pops up.
'Em- Alison I'm so sorry! Hanna came over last night and we hung out and we kinda got drunk...I know it was a dumb idea, trust me I'm paying for it this morning. I'm so sorry! Everything is fine, I'm fine. I'm glad that you're safe... Don't know what I'm gonna do
Without you for two weeks, but I hope you enjoy your vacation! Again I'm so sorry to worry you! I love you!
-Em'
I smile and sigh, relieved that she's alright. I decide to reply.
'Me- you're forgiven Killer! I'm just glad you're okay... And I know I'm gonna miss you so much :( but I promise I'll text or call every day!'
I then put my phone down, dry my hair, and get dressed. My phone buzzes and I pick it up, smiling at the screen.
'Em- and I promise I'll pick up or answer ever time ;) stay safe! love you babe!'
'Me- u better;) and I will, don't worry. Love you too Killer!'
Now that I know that Em is alright, I'm much happier and I'm able to get on with my vacation, anxious to get back home to Emily.
