Emily's Pov

Happiness.

It was the only thing I was feeling. Alison is in front of me.. The one person that I had only dreamed of to see in person again. This moment does definitely feels like I'm dreaming. I repeat, Alison, the girl who has been "dead" for almost 2 years, is right in front of me. I probably am dreaming. The cold wind blew softly towards me, and I could just smell the coconut scented perfume that was on her.

"I missed you the most," She said, taking a step towards me. She slowly wraps her arms around me for a hug, but she did it as if she hesitated.

"I missed you too," I said, holding on to her tight.

She pulls away from the hug and says, "I'm coming back home, tonight," She smiles big, "I want you to help me, Em-" She was saying before my phone interrupted her. I pull out my phone to see who was calling, so I could shut it off. It was Hanna. I didn't know if I should answer or not, so I thought about it long enough for my phone to stop ringing.

"I'm going to help you, Ali. Don't worry-" My voice got cut off by my phone ringing again. It was Hanna again, and this time I answered. "Hello?"

"Hey, where are you?" Hanna asks.

"Uh," I said, looking at Alison. "Please don't tell anyone your with me," She whispers.

"Swimming practice went on a little later than expected, why?" I didn't want to lie. I didn't want to lie at all, but I had too.

"We had a movie date," Hanna said. Crap. I had forgotten about our date. Yesterday, after I met up with Alison for the first time, that's all I been thinking about.

"Oh yeah," I said, "I'm sorry, how about tomorrow night or something?"

"Okay," She says, "Love you"

"I love you too, bye Han," I than hang up, turning around to see a raised eyebrow, surprised expression look on Alison's face.

"You and Hanna?" She asks, with a higher voice.

I didn't want to answer her question at all.. It felt awkward. "Yeah," I said.

"How long have you two.." She said, ending her sentence shortly so I could fill it in with an answer.

"It's only been like, half a year," I shrug, wanting to change the subject, "So where are we off to now? You're back now, Ali."

"The police station," She said.

"Why there?"

"I need a clean start and tell them about -A. It's time for me to come back."

"Are you sure?" I ask.

"Yes"


In the next two days the news broke out that Alison Dilaurentis is alive. And also, within those two days Alison had been in her home and her dad not allowing any visitors for a while. Today was New Year's eve, and Hanna is throwing a party at her house. Spencer and Aria seemed super happy that one of our best friends were back, but Hanna was different. Sure, she did show some, 'Oh my god, you're back' happiness, but at the same time it didn't really seem to matter to her. Right now, I was just getting ready to make my way to Hanna's house for the party. What I had on was just a dark blue and red flannel with a pair of blue denim jeans.

As I got to her house I see Spencer and Hanna just socializing and laughing. I look back at the stairs and see Aria and Alison on the stair case. Alison and I met eyes for at least two seconds.. Two very slow seconds.

"Hey, you made it," Hanna said and presses her lips against my cheek. "Find me at midnight for our first new year's kiss," She said in my ear. My lips automatically curve into my smile.

"I know, I will," I said, grabbing myself a drink.

"Lovebirds," Spencer rolls her eyes.


It was around 11:55pm and Hanna was just socializing with some people from school, while Spencer was playing drinking games. It's pretty surprising coming from Spencer, actually. You don't really see an every-year-honor-roll student, with a higher then 4.0 gpa taking tequila body shots from some random girl, often

As I made my way outside to get some air, I see Alison sitting on the tree swing by herself. "Hey," I said.

"Hey Em," She said, taking a sip of the beer she had.

"Party is inside, Ali" I said with a small laugh.

"All night long I had random party giving me looks and people asking me too many questions, Em," She says, "I don't think so."

"Well, hey I'll keep you company" I smile, sitting on the tree swing next to her. "Are you okay, though?"

"What?"

"Are you okay?" I ask again. She looked at me for a very long two seconds again, and then let her eyes wander.

"I think you're the first person actually ask that," She softly said.

"1 minute!" I hear some guys in the house scream out.

"It's almost time, don't you think you should find Hanna or something?" She asks.

"Yeah, but at the same time I don't think you should be alone" I said.

"It's a New Year's kiss, though?" She said

"It's just one kiss" I shrug, and now I remember about how much this kiss meant to Hanna.

"Em, I kind of want to go home" She said, "Aria drove me but she's looks like she having fun drinking and getting her stomach liked by Spencer" She laughs.

"That was Aria?" I laugh.

"Yeah, surprisingly" She laughs.

"I'll take you home," I said.

"Are you sure?" She asks.

"Yeah"

"10! 9!" The chants of the room, slowly faded away as Alison and I walked to my car. God, Hanna's going to kill me.

It wasn't that long of a car ride from Hanna's house to Ali's. As we got there it was only 12:03am. "Thank you, Em" She said.

"Goodnight Ali" I said, giving a warm smile.

"You should get back quick, Hanna-"

"She's going to murder me, I know" I cut her off with a laugh.

"Bye, Em"

"Bye," I said, than I drove off. Shit. Hanna is going to murder me.. She had been always looking forward to our first New Year's kiss and I blew it! I park in front of her house and take a deep breath before walking in her house. Everyone was still having a good time and people starting leaving, but I couldn't find Hanna.

"Emily," I hear Spencer voice call for me. I turn around and immediately asked where Hanna was.

"Hanna was looking for you and she said she saw you drive off with Alison" Spencer said.

"Alison needed a ride home," I said, "Where's Hanna?"

"She's in her room," Spencer said, "She's pissed Em" And with that I made my way upstairs in her room quickly.

I open the door and saw her sitting on her bed, just staring at the necklace, that was around her neck, I gave her. "Hey, I'm sorry" I said, kneeling on the floor beside her. I hold on to her hands, and caress it softly with my thumb.

"It's okay," She said, bluntly. She didn't mean it. It's obvious.

"Ali needed a ride home, I'm sorry" I said.

"Em, I'm really tired, so I'm just going to sleep. I'll talk to you tomorrow," She said and added a kiss on my cheek before she laid down.

"But the party is still going on down stairs," I said.

"Just tell Spencer to get rid of them, please" She said. I helped her get comfortable in bed, by tucking her in with her blanket.

"Love you?" I said, gazing at her. She looks up and said, "I love you, too" I press my lips against her forehead.


I knew she was still upset about last night, so I came by Hanna's house with one of those Mexican burritos she loved and the movie, The Breakfast Club. I knock on her door, but there was no answer. I rang the doorbell twice, and than the door opens. Hanna's hair was messy and she had on only sweats and a crop top. "Em? What are you doing here it's early" She yawns.

I walk in her house and give her a weird look. "It's 2 in the afternoon, Han"

"Oh," She said, "That's still early"

She walks to the kitchen and I follow, "Well, hi" I said.

"Hey," She said, looking through her fridge.

"I brought you food" I said. Though she ignored me. "Hanna.." I put the movie and the food down on the counter and walks towards her.

"I know you're still mad," I said.

She sighs and takes out orange juice from the fridge. She than walks to the cup board and pours her self a cup on the kitchen counter. From the bacl, I rest neck on her shoulder and arms around her waist. "I'm sorry" I said softly beside her ear.

"You knew I was looking forward to the midnight kiss" She said.

"I know, but Han, I could kiss you every time at midnight everyday for this new year, if you want," I said. I see her smile.

"So you drove Alison home," She starts, "That's it, right?"

"Yep," I said. Than I slowly let go of her waist and take a small step back, "Wait, were you jealous?"

"No!" She turns around and says.

"All I did was drive her home and came back, Han," I laugh.

"Okay." She nods, "But you still missed the midnight kiss!" She slaps my arm. And there it was, she was mad again. Every time we have a small fight, I would always know how to win it. I would stare into Hanna's eyes, because I knew it would hit her soft spot, and then glance down to her lips.

"Don't!" She laughs and she turns back around away from me to not look at me. My hands travels from her hips to her stomach, and my lips slowly press against her neck. I start to leave a trail of kisses all over the side of her neck and started on her shoulder.

"Em.. You can't keep.. saving yourself from arguments.. like this" She slowly said.

"Yes, I can" I smile wider.


Hanna's Pov

I spent hours thinking about what Emily said. I even made a list to see how I would feel. Reasons not to get back with Emily: 1. She broke my heart. 2. She lied to me when we were together. 3. It took almost a whole two years to get over her. And, lastly, 4. Again, she broke my heart.

Reasons to get back together with Emily: 1. I might still have feelings for her. Oh who am I kidding? I do, still have feelings for her. 2. She still has feelings for me... And those were the only reasons I thought of. The saying, 'Follow your heart, not your brain', is getting to me. It's really corny, I know. Though, all I can think of is how things can be different. This time, I would know what to do. This time, I'm different. I could just feel how my heart is okay now. Sure, it might feel like it's a broken mirror, and it's pieces were glue back together, and has it still cracks. But this time, it wont be that easy to shatter my heart again. Maybe being with her will be different..

I look at the time at it read, 11:20pm. Think about this, Han.. My conscience said. I set aside the bigger list of the reasons not to get back together with Emily and leave my house to see her.

As I got to her door, the first thing I did was knock. Though the door was already open, so I walked slowly up to her room. I hear her speaking to someone. I didn't hear anything clearly, until I walked closer to her room. At the moment, walking in her room seemed like a bad idea because she's probably talking to her mom. Her room door was half open and I lay my back against the wall near her door. Take a deep breath, Han.. And so I did. Right when I was just about to walk in her room, I stop myself. I heard the voice of someone else speaking. A voice that I didn't hear in two years. The voice that belonged to someone that I hated for those two years, before I moved on from the pain.

It was Alison.
