After detention I head to my car which I got into before driving to Ali's. I pulled my car into Ali's driveway I had seen that the girl's cars were all here already, I also had seen Noel's car was still here; a lot had happened today and I was just plain tired and I need to sleep. I didn't even bother knocking on the door since I had been here so many times I had been told not to bother, I walked in and saw Ali's Mum in the lounge room.

I smiled and said "Hey Ms D."

She replied with "Hello Emily, how was detention?"

I said "It was alright."

Ms D replied with "Good to hear, the girls and Noel are all in the backyard."

I place my bag on the chair in the lounge room before saying "Thanks, I'll go find them." I walked out of the lounge room, through the kitchen and out to the backyard to find them all sitting in the grass.

I walked over to them all saying "Hello," I kissed Ali on the top of her head before sitting down next to her.

Ali said "Hey how was detention?"

I replied with "Really boring."

Ali asked "What did you do?"

I answered with "I had nothing to do so I just sat there."

Aria said "Aren't you meant to do homework?"

I replied with "Yeah but that would have put me to sleep."

Noel laughed and said "That is very true but how come you're Mum doesn't ground you or something?"

I answered with "I don't actually know."

Hanna then asked "What happened in the principal's office?"

Noel asked "You got sent to the principal's office?"

I replied with "Yeah I did, there making me re-join the stupid swim team again."

Mona said "Wait they can actually do that?"

I replied with "Apparently but they can't force me to swim so I'll be sitting in the bleachers."

Spencer then said "Joining the swim team can't be all that bad; it's got to be better than detention."

I replied with "No I would prefer the detention or swimming."

Spencer asked "Why?"

I answered with "I have my reason now leave it alone."

Noel then asked "Hey Emily a couple of mates and I are planning a game of basketball on the weekend, are you in?"

I replied with "Yeah sure thing, wait is that okay with you Ali?"

Ali smiled and said "Its fine Em, you don't have to check with me."

I replied with "Yeah I know but I want to."

Noel asked "So are you in or out?"

I answered with "I'm in just text me the details."

Noel replied with "I will do, I'll let the guys know your in."

Ali then asked "Noel are you doing anything tomorrow?"

Noel answered with "Not that I know of why?"

Ali said "Well with Emily being in detention tomorrow, I need a lift to my counselling appointment and I was wondering if you would be able to drive me."

Noel smiled and replied with "Yeah of course Ali."

We went onto talk about nothing really important before Aria asked Ali "Have you heard from Jason since you've gotten back?"

Ali replied with "No I haven't."

Hanna then said "You would think if you had heard your sister has come back from the dead you would come see for yourself." I watch as the hurt come up onto Ali's face.

Hanna saw it as well and quickly said "Sorry Ali."

Ali replied with "It's fine I'm going to go get a drink," Ali stood up from her place next to me and walk inside.

I looked at who looked guilty as hell, she then said "Sorry."

I replied with "It's okay, I'm not mad. I'm going to go find her," they all nodded their heads at me. I stood up from my place on the grass, walked back across to the house and open the door to walk through it. I walked into the kitchen to find she was in here; I walked through kitchen to soon be in the doorway that was in between the kitchen and living room. I saw her Mum looked up at me with concern; I gave her a reassuring smile before climbing up the stairs. After reaching the top of the stairs I walked down the little hallway that lead to Ali's room and I found the door closed.

I knocked on the door and said "Ali it's me, can I come in?" I didn't hear anything so I said again this time hearing a small reply telling me I could come in. I walked into find her sitting on her bed hugging her knees with tears rolling down her face; but she still looked like the most beautiful girl in the world to me.

I say "I would ask if you're okay but the fact that you have tears coming from your eyes, it's a clear sign you're not."

I watch as she smiled which made me smiled and I said "There's that smile that I've missed," I slowly sat down in front of her with my leg crossed.

We sat in a little silence before I asked "Are you going to tell me what's wrong?"

Ali replied with "He made everyone believe I was dead, he was evil and crazy enough to make everyone believed I was dead."

I nodded and said "Not everyone."

Ali replied with "You never gave up?"

I smiled and said "I didn't and I would never give up on you Ali."

Ali asked "How did you know?"

I replied with "You were still in my heart; I could still feel you were alive and I was going to continue to believe it."

Ali smiled a small smile before saying "I hate that his still out there, he could be watching me, us. He could just come and steal me away again. His done it once before, he can do it again."

I replied with "I'm not going let that happen, I'm never letting you out of my sight unless I know your with someone I completely trust."

Ali said "You can't watch me 24/7."

I replied with "No I can't but I can try. No more detention, no more getting into trouble, you need me."

Ali said "Emily you don't have to do that."

I replied with "Yes I do Ali, if I'm going to keep you safe I need to be there with you wherever you go; unless you don't want me to?"

Ali said "No Emily I do, I just don't want to see you get hurt; he's already done it once." Ali place her hand over the stab wound on my shoulder, we both took a deep breath in at the same while closing our eyes; enjoying this moment we have.

I say "He caused you way more pain then he did to me; I need to keep you safe Ali."

Ali replied with "But you don't have to be the one that watches me, we have a group of friends out in my backyard that are will do look out for me."

I said "I know but they're not me."

Ali asked "Why does it need to be you, why not them?"

I answered with "We've already spent way too much time a part, I don't want to spend another minute without you."

Ali smiled and said "I can't really argue about that, I could try but I don't really want to. We're not the same people we used to be Emily a lot has happen and I will tell you one day; but you can't change who you are for me."

I replied with "I can try can't I?"

Ali said "Yes you can but you need to be you and be happy with who you are."

I replied with "Well I'm happy with how I am now, but I need to be there for you."

Ali said "And I want you here with me."

I replied with "Good because I'm not going anywhere, though we should probably head back outside they might be getting worried; Hanna especially." Ali nodded her head before kissing my cheek; we both then stood up and head back downstairs; to the backyard.

Nothing really exciting had happened on Tuesday, Ali wasn't really in a talkative mode after her first counselling session and I understood so we just did homework. Wednesday Morning we had English first up like every morning, Ali hadn't talk much to me all morning but she would catch me starring at her so she gave me a reassuring smile. We walked into our English class to find Noel sitting on the desk that Mona was sitting at; those two were really cute together.

I said "Hey Noel, why don't you just change into this English class?"

Noel replied with "Funny you say."

I asked "What do you mean?"

Noel said "Affective admittedly today I am in this English class."

I smile and replied with "Really?"

Noel said "Yep."

I replied with "Awesome you can help me annoy the teacher."

Noel smiled evilly and said "That's what I was thinking."

Ali then said "God there's now two of them."

I replied with "We won't be too bad," at that the four of us burst out laughing. Ali decided to sit next to Mona but it was in front of me and Noel sat next to me with Mona sitting in front of him. The rest of the class started to fill in as the bell rang and soon Mr Martins walked in.

Mr Martins said "Mr Kahn here for a third day in a row."

Noel replied with "Affective admittedly I am in this class."

Mr Martins said "Okay but you long with everyone else has to work up to my standards," Noel and I both smiled at each other.

Noel replied with "Yes Sir."

Mr Martins said "Okay one of the books you read this summer I had you read lots of books about plays like the great Romeo and Juliet. While you were busy reading I was busy writing, I writing my own play. I have shown my play to Mr Davidson, Ms Bine the drama teacher and the school board and they have all approved it and this class with the help from the freshman drama class will be putting on the show." I wasn't sure whether I wasn't interested in this or not.

Mr Martins said "The play is about to teenager destine for each other but the laws of sexuality are against them, but they fight through a lot to be together. This play is a female-female relationship, there is also a kissing scene in it; so does anyone feel comfortable playing this role." Straight away everyone turned around to look at me.

Mr Martins confused asked "Miss Fields why are they all looking at you?"

I replied with "Because I'm a lesbian Sir, so of course they want me to take the role so they don't have to."

Mr Martins nods his head and asked "So will you play the role?"

I replied with "What are the two roles? And what are their names?"

Mr Martins answered with "Bella is a laid back kind of person, romantic but trouble maker; could easily break your heart. But underneath she is the quiet and scared girl, who will do anything for that one special person. Samantha is that popular girl, who everyone wants to be friend with and knows everyone. She trust easily which could end up hurting her, she doesn't live on the edge like Bella does. Her parents are very strict and accept greatness from her."

I nodded my head and said "I'll play Bella."

Mr Martins smiled and replied with "That's great Miss Fields, now who wants to be Samantha?" No one really put their hand up or said anything, but then Ali raised her hand which brought the biggest smile to my face.

Ali said "I wouldn't mind playing Samantha, if no one else wants to."

Mr Martins replied with "This is just great we have our two leads, now we just have the other roles to fill." We spent the rest of the class working out who got what roles it was actually the first time I was excited about this class. The roles were Noel was going to play my best friend/older brother Cameron who is very protective of me but accepts what I do. Spencer was going to play Ali's mum with some other guy playing her dad. Hanna, Mona and Aria have chosen to not be in the play but help the drama class with the sets, costumes and all that other stuff you need to make a play run. When the bell had rang Mr Martins told us that starting next week during class, lunch time and all of our last period for the day would be when we practice.

Throughout the rest of the day hardly anything happened, I went to detention when school was finished and once it was over I drove myself to Ali's house. I parked my car alongside my house before walking across the road to Ali house where I saw Noel's car in the driveway, Noel had offered to drive Ali anywhere when I couldn't. I wake straight into the house to find Noel, Mona, Ali and Ali's Mum.

I say "Hey people," they all turn around to say their hellos to me. I walk more into the room and over to Ali, where I kiss her on the top of her head and sit down next to her.

I asked "So what are we talking about?"

Ali replied with "I was telling Mum about the play."

I nodded and said "Right, speaking of that Mr Martins can me our scripts so you and I can practice together."

Ali replied with "Sweet, I'll grab it later."

Noel said "Hey We've got to get going, I need to drop Mona off before going home for a family dinner."

I replied with "Okay have you work out what time on Saturday?"

Noel said "Yes will meet up at the court around 12pm, play some ball before heading to get some food somewhere, maybe a movie and then out of the cabin for the sleepover. Can you make all of that?"

I look at Ali straight away with my best please face on, Ali replied with "You don't need to ask me."

I said "We go over this every single time; I know I don't have to but I want to."

Ali replied with "Okay and yeah you can go."

I asked "Are you sure? What are you going to do?"

Ms D said "Ali if you want you can have the girls over; I'll be out of town all weekend taking care of something's."

Ali replied with "Yeah okay, Mona you want to come?"

Mona said "Sure Ali, I love to."

Noel said "Cool Em I fill you in on the rest of the details later but we have to go."

I replied with "Yeah sure thing," we did a bit more talking before Mona and Noel both left.

Ms D asked "Where are you two staying tonight?"

Ali replied with "Is it alright if we stay here?" she was asking me the question.

I answered with "Yes of course it is."

Ali's Mum smiled at us and then asked "What will you being doing now?"

Ali answered with "Just some homework."

Ms D said "Okay I have to go buy something for dinner, I'll be back soon." Mr D then left us as well, so Ali and I were now sitting in the lounge room.

Ali said "Come on lets go do some homework."

I groaned and replied with "Do we have to?"

Ali said "Yes," she then stood up and tried to lifted me up.

I smile and say "I have to go grab my bag from outside."

Ali said "Well go get it and then come upstairs."

I replied with "Yes Ma'am," Ali smiled at me before walking away. I stood up off the lounge and went outside, across to my car and grabbed my bag. I went back into Ali's house to and joined her upstairs to do homework with her. Normally I didn't want to do homework but if Ali want to and if she me to; then I was going to do it.
