A week later:

It's already been a week into our trip and I'm so exited to get back home. My dad and I are at a restaurant eating dinner.

Ken: "You seem to be enjoying yourself sweetie." Smiling.

Alison: I smile back at him. "I am. I think this was a great idea! I'm having a great time catching up with you."

Just before he speaks his phone rings. It doesn't go far into the conversation when I see tears in his eyes. What's going on?

He hangs up the phone and stares at me with sorrow and hurt in his eyes. I grab his hand.

Alison: "Dad... Are you okay? What's wrong?"

Ken: "They found your mother..."

His voice was sad and I was confused... If they found her shouldn't he be happy? Unless... No!

Alison: tears now in my eyes. "You mean?..." I trail off and he nods his head.

Sure my mother and I never had a great relationship, but for god sakes she was my mother.

I don't speak... Just sit there with my eyes wide and in shock. Who would kill her? I swear to God if it was that bitch...

Emily's POV

Spencer, Hanna, and I were at Ali's house because apparently she got a dog and wanted us to take care of it while she was gone. When we were there the dog dug up a hole and found a body in the backyard. We all screamed in fear.

Now we're at the Rosewood PD and have found out that the body was Identified as Mrs. DiLaurentis.

All I can think about right now is how Alison will be when she finds out. I know how I've been since my dad, so I know the feeling and I'm gonna be here for her no matter what. She was there for me through it, so I'm gonna be here for her. I'm broken out of my thoughts when I hear a cry that's all too familiar. I turn my head to the sound and quickly make my way over to it. I turn the corner and see Alison sobbing in her father's arms as the officer tells them the news. My heart breaks seeing her like this.

I quickly make my way to her and when she sees me she instantly gets out of her dad's grasp and runs into my arms. I wrap my arms tightly around her neck and stroke her hair as she wraps her arms around my waist.

Emily: whispering on the verge of tears. "I'm so sorry Alison... I'm sorry."

Alison: "I can't believe she's gone!" She says through the tears.

I can hear the hurt and sadness in her voice. She says nothing else, just sobs on my shoulder.

Ali's father is letting us all stay the night at the DiLaurentis house with Alison tonight. She hasn't spoken one word since the police station. On the way to her house she just laid on my shoulder as I held her.

Now we are all in her room and she has yet to utter one word or sound. Aria and Spencer are sitting on the chairs, Hanna is standing next to the bed, and I'm, of course, right next to her on the bed. She is hugging her knees with her chin rested on them.

Hanna: "Ali? Do you need anything? Water? Food?"

She says nothing. We all share worried glances at each other and decide to get some sleep. Hanna is sleeping on the floor next to the chairs that Aria and Spencer are laying in.

After a while everyone, but me is asleep, even Ali finally fell asleep. I'm still sitting up on the bed. I decide that she might want some space on the bed, by herself and I think I should just sleep next to Hanna. So I place a kiss in her forehead and cover her with the blanket. As I go to get up I hear a soft, sad voice.

Alison: "Em please don't leave me." She whispers, almost inaudible. I don't argue.

Emily: "I won't leave you, I promise." I get under the blanket and wrap my arms around her and she cuddles up next to me.

Alison: "I love you Emily."

Before I can respond she crashes her lips on mine. She caught me off guard but I quickly pull her closer for a better kiss. She tangles her hands in my hair and I keep my arms protectively around her. She moves one hand to my arm, stroking it in a slow motion and keeps the other on my jaw. I feel shivers run through my body at her touch. She rolls herself on top of me and we continue our kiss.

Soon we both pull away, panting.

Emily: "I love you too."

She touches her nose to mine and slowly kisses me again.

Alison: whispering. "Thank you for being here for me... With me. I'm so glad I have you in my life. I don't know what I'd do without you." I can hear her voice crack.

Emily: "I've told you this before, you don't have to thank me. I'll always be here for you, with you through anything and everything. I don't know what I'd do without you either."

She leans down and nudges my head with hers.

Alison: "You're the best thing that has ever happened to me."

I feel butterflies in the pit of my stomach at what she just said to me.

Emily: "You're my everything Alison... Never forget that."

I feel a tear hit my cheek and before I can wipe the rest of them away from her eyes she kisses me again.

She presses her body harder against mine as the kiss gets more intense. There is no way that we can get any closer than we are right now.

She rolls over on her back, but brings me with her, pulling me on top of her. I take both of her hands in mine and interlock our fingers, resting them on the pillows next to her head. I don't wanna stop at all, but the others are right there. That might be awkward and her dad is in the next room. I pull my head away from the kiss and try to catch my breath.

Alison: breathing heavily. "What's wrong?"

Emily: "Nothing's wrong." I breath again.

She knows exactly what I'm thinking. I can tell by what she says next.

Alison: "Em we are fine. They are sound asleep. We're just kissing... So kiss me again."

Once I hear her say that I can't contain myself and I'm not even gonna try to resist. I slowly start to kiss her again and she keeps a firm grip on my hands as I do so. She kisses me back just as slowly and lifts her head a little to lean into the kiss.

Soon enough she deepens the kiss and rolls us back over. I sit up with her straddling me and she cups my face in her hands while I loop my arms tightly around her waist.

Alison's POV

I seriously love this girl with every thing I have in me. I never thought that I could honestly and truly love someone until Emily came along. When I'm kissing her, like right now, I feel like it's just us together with no one else around. She let's me forget about everything else for the moment.

I feel her arms hugging me as we continue to kiss. She is holding on to me so tight right now, like she's afraid I'll be taken away from her at any moment. I circle my arms tighter around her neck and press her body to mine. Our bodies mold perfectly together, she was right, we're like a puzzle and we've found our perfect piece to complete each other.

I don't even want to sleep tonight, I just want to continue being close to her and never stop. Who needs sleep when I can just kiss Emily all night? But I don't want her to lose sleep because of what I want. I pull away, desperately needing air. I place my hands on the front of her shoulders and hold on to the neck of her shirt. I then lean my head on to hers and give her a short kiss.

Emily: "You okay?" She sounds worried.

Alison: "Yeah, now I am. Are you tired? We can try to get some sleep."

Emily: "I'm not all that tired now. I just want to hold you and make sure you're alright."

Alison: I smile softly and wrap my arms around her neck and lay my head in the crevice of her neck. "I'll be alright Killer. I'll still be here when you wake up. I promise."

Emily: She buries her face in my hair. "I know I just... Don't want to leave you up alone. I can't."

Alison: "I'll seriously be fine. I'll be in your arms as usual. You keep a firm grip on me even when you sleep." I giggle because it's true, she's protective over me even in her sleep. That's why she's my Killer.

Emily: "Sorry... It's still crazy to me that this isn't a dream and you're actually here with me. I always dreamed about you coming back and then I'd wake up and realize it was a dream... I thought I'd never get to see you or hug you again."

Alison: I lean my head up and bring my hand to her face. Is she really apologizing? "Em you don't need to apologize for wanting to protect me." I can see tears starting to form in her eyes and one escapes so I wipe it with my hand. "Hey don't cry. I'm here this is one hundred percent real." I take her hand and bring it to my chest so she can feel my heart beat. "See? I'm here. I'm not going to disappear." I bring her hand up to my lips and kiss it. I mumble against her hand. "You're stuck with me."

Emily: she takes her hand gently out of my grip and puts it on my face to bring me closer. Our lips are hovering above each other and our noses are touching. "Good." And once again we kiss. She lays down and brings me with her.
