Chapter 7
"Hey have you seen Jason?" Alison asked over the loud music.
"No." Emily practically yelled.
"I'm gonna go look for him." Alison said. Emily grabbed her hand.
"I don't think so Ali." Emily said smiling slightly. "Stay here with Cece. I'll go find him." Emily said. Alison smiled at her and then squeezed her hand. Emily leaned in and gave Alison a chaste kiss. Alison smiled.
"What was that for?" Alison asked smiling.
"For being you…" Emily said before walking away. Alison went over to Cece with a huge smile on her face.
"If you ever hurt her, I'll kill you and no one will find the body." Cece said half serious, half joking. Alison smiled.
"You won't have to worry about that." Alison said. Cece smiled and then nodded. Emily headed outside. She saw Jason standing really close to a ledge the lead into rocks. It was about a 85 foot drop. She walked next to him. He didn't look at her. He just continued looking out into the sky.
"Don't you think you're standing a little close to the edge?" Emily asked, obviously oblivious about what he was contemplating doing.
"Nope." He simply said.
"Jace. I know what you're thinking. I've been through this before. Nothing seems to be going your way. You feel like there's nothing for you on earth. But truthfully, you've got so much more than a lot of people. Including me." Emily said, looking at Jason.
"But you're so cool. You throw lots of parties, and you have tons of hot girls surrounding you. I don't see how life isn't awesome for you." Jason said, turning and looking at Emily.
"Jace, I'm not cool. I've never been cool. I'm broken, and beat down. Its like I'm a nail and someone hit me with a hammer. My parents are dead, my sister is dead. I only got my friends...and Alison. But you...you have Mike, and Alison, and you're parents. I don't know what's going down in your life but...you should think this over before you make a decision that you won't be able to take back." Emily said.
"You're right Emily. Thank you." He said. He went over to her and hugged her. She usually didn't hug people, but she wanted to hug Jason. He needed it. But so did she on some level. "Do you love my sister?" He asked. Emily looked at the ground and then at Jason.
"Yes. More than anyone else." Emily said honestly. He nodded. "Why don't you go find Mike. I'm sure he needs a wingman or something." Emily said. Jason smiled and went back into the house. Emily backed away from the edge and sat against a tree. Someone sat next to her.
"You know Alison's looking for you right?" Jake asked looking at his best friend. Emily nodded.
"Why don't you go back in there with her?" Jake asked. Emily continued looking at the dark sky that the moon lightened.
"Because I'm scared." Emily muttered.
"What are you scared of?" Jaske asked.
"I'm scared of getting hurt. I don't do vulnerability." Emily said. Jake nodded.
"You should learn how. Alison is an amazing girl. You are too Emily. Vulnerability isn't something everyone can do naturally. You'll get there Emily. I haven't seen you this happy in a really long time. I love seeing that smile that shows up on your face when you see Blondie." Jake said. He looked down at his shoes. "Get your ass in there and go get your girl." Jake said as he smiled at Emily. She laid her head on Jake's shoulder.
"I love you Jakey. You aren't just my best friend you're my brother." She said quietly.
"And you're my sister." He said. They both were smiling. "Enough stalling Emily. Get in there." He said. She smiled and got up. They both went inside. She walked over to see Alison talking to Cece.
"I found him. He was outside." Emily said to Alison. She smiled.
"Thank you." Alison said blushing at the way Emily was looking at her. "Do you wanna go outside?" Alison asked. Emily nodded. They interlocked their hands and Emily lead Alison outside. Emily took Alison to a perfect spot. No one around, just the moonlight shining on both of them.
"I love you Alison. My heart was made of coal before I met you. I never thought I could love someone again." Emily said. Alison smiled. Her blue eyes twinkling in the moonlight. "You are so beautiful." Emily said looking into Alison's ocean blue eyes. She blushed and looked down. Emily lifted Alison's face. "Don't look away Ali. I want to see your eyes." Emily said. Alison blushed again. Emily smiled. "You're apart of me Alison. My heart beats your name. You hold my heart in your hands now. Please don't clap." Emily said.
"I won't. I promise." She said. Emily smiled and kissed Alison. Just in that moment rain erupted on them. It looked like something out of the movies. Alison broke the kiss. "Don't you think we should go inside?" Alison asked loudly over the rain.
"No. Lets enjoy this moment." Emily said. Alison smiled. She wrapped her arms around Emily's neck. Emily pulled Alison's closer. The stopped kissing and pressed their foreheads together. They looked deep into each others eyes. Lightning could have struck them, but it wouldn't break this intense passionate look they were giving each other.
"I love you Emily." Alison said.
"I love you too Alison." Emily said. They kissed each other once again. The rain continuing to pour down on them.
What did you guys think? So Alison will tell Emily some private things next chapter. I decided to push it back a little. Sorry. So next chapter Cece talks to Spencer. Jake and Toby talk to Alison. Emily talks to Aria and Hanna.
