Chapter 5: On the Run.

Emily POV

I spent all day in Philly, I sat outside most of the day just preventing anyone to enter the house.

I walked inside and headed towards the kitchen to grab a beer when I saw Alison's door slightly open. I walked towards it and stopped when I heard a voice inside.

"Shut up, that's not true. She's just being... nice" I heard Alison's voice.

"Come on Alison, don't tell me you can't see it" I heard CeCe giggling.

"What are you guys doing?" I opened the door, and they turned their heads to look at me.

"Nothing" said Alison.

"Just talking" replied CeCe with a smirk.

I raised an eyebrow at them.

"Are you working at the shop today?" said CeCe trying to change the subject.

"No, Noel said that the shop will be closed today so we can talk to Mr. Dilaurentis..." I said scratching my neck "I should go"

I walked out of the room and went outside.

"Good morning, Emily" greeted Caleb as he got out of his car.

"Good morning. I'm heading to my apartment, if someone comes, please call me" I said, and he nodded. I got in my car and drove away, got to my place, took a shower and went to eat breakfast at Toby's house. An hour later Caleb called me saying that Noel arrived at Philly, so we headed there.

"We need to talk to Mr. Dilaurentis now" I told Noel as I entered the kitchen.

"Yeah let's do that right now" he said while dealing his number.

"Hello" Mr. Dilaurentis answered.

"Looks like you're not that worried for you daughter. How long has it been since she's been missing? We want our money now!" said Noel.

"I just need more time, please lets arrange something else. My company has been going through a lot and..."

"Cut the crap Dilaurentis, we all know that you are the richest man in town. I want my money by the end of the week you son of a bitch! If not, your daughter dies" said Noel, ending the call.

Noel stormed out of the room and left the house. Toby and I looked at each other but just stayed quiet.

"It's everything good here?" said CeCe as she entered the kitchen.

"Yeah, has Alison eaten something?" I asked and she smiled.

"I was gonna take her some food do you want..."

"I'll take it" I interrupted; CeCe gave me the tray. I was about to walk out of the kitchen when Toby called.

"Emily?" he said, and I turned around.

"Yeah?" I asked.

"She is our victim, just remember that" he said, a concerned look on his face.

"I know" I whispered and turned around walking towards Alison's room.

I knocked on the door before entering the room. Alison was reading a book on her bed.

"Reading a book? nice" I said placing the tray on the table.

She looked up at me and just smiled continuing reading her book.

"I loved her against reason, against promise. against peace, against hope, against happiness, against all discouragement that could be" I quoted while taking a seat on the chair.

"You've read Great Expectations?" she asked placing the book on her lap.

"Yeah, it's my favorite book" I said, and she smiled.

"Mine too."

"What else do you like to do, other than reading?" I asked pulling my chair closer to her bed.

"I used to play soccer when I was in high school, I like shopping, I like to swim even if I don't know how" she chuckled.

"I remember you playing soccer, you were captain of the soccer team" I said.

"We… went to high school together?" she asked, and I just shrugged my shoulders.

"I know how to swim; my dad taught me as soon as I started walking" I laughed.

"Maybe you can teach me some day" she said quietly.

"Maybe" I said standing up "I better get going, so you can eat"

"Wait... I know this may sound stupid, but do you mind reading while I eat?" she asked with a small smile.

"Sure" I said taking the book and sitting on the chair.

I started to read as she ate. We sat there for about an hour, we passed the book back and forth so we could both read, but I liked it more when it was her. Her beautiful voice echoing the room. After a while I ended sitting next to her on the bed.

"The end" she said as she closed the book and turned her head to look at me.

"I can't believe we finished it" I said turning to look at her.

We stayed in a long silence staring at each other once again.

"I'm sorry Alison. I'm sorry for doing this to you" I whispered. My voice was trembling.

"I know you are" she said.

Without knowing it, we started leaning out heads closer to each other, and our lips were almost connected, until I realized what I was doing.

"I have to go" I said backing up and standing up from the bed.

"Yeah, you... you should" she said as she realized what we were doing too.

I headed out of the room without looking back at her.

"You're not staying today, Emily?" asked CeCe as she entered her room.

"No" I said and walked out the door.

I left the cabin and drove to my house. When I got there, I closed the door and the windows, turning every single light source off. I needed silence and nothing to focus on.

I laid in my bed looking up at the ceiling. Fuck! I almost kissed her I though.

"What are you doing to me Alison Dilaurentis" I said letting out a long breath.

Spencer POV

For the past weeks I have been going to the clubs Alison usually goes to. I asked if she was in their club when she disappeared, but they all said no. I drove around looking for more club when one big building caught my attention: "Platinum night club".

I walked inside and saw a tall brunette at the bar.

"Hi" I said, and she smiled.

"Sorry, the club is closed, we open till 6" she said.

"Yeah. I just wanted to ask you if you have seen her" I said showing her a picture of Alison.

"Yes, I have seen her. She came here once; I remember her cause she gave me a $100 tip only for complimenting her shoes" she chuckled.

"Do you know how she left or with who?" I asked.

"I saw a guy and girl with her, they picked her up that night" she stated "one was a girl; tall, brunette, quiet, thin. The boy was tall, and quiet muscular, his hair was a little long but not too much. I heard her calling him 'Tony'? something like that"

"Toby?" I said to myself

"Yeah, Toby" she said, and I thanked her.

Emily POV

I woke up at the sound of my phone ringing.

"Hello?" I answered.

"Emily, get out of you place now the police are on their way, they know!" yelled Toby trough the phone.

"Where are you?" I asked as I stood up and started packing some things.

"I'm grabbing some stuff from my apartment; I'll head to Philly as soon as I can" he said, and we hung up.

I grabbed some clothes and opened one of my drawers. There it was... the gun my dad gave me when I was 13, I also grabbed all the money I had saved up and put it in a gym bag.

I headed to Philly. I called Noel but he didn't answer any of my calls.

When I got there, the house looked empty. There were no signs of any guards, not even Caleb. I walked inside the house.

"Cece?" I asked as I entered the kitchen but saw that she was tied on a chair, her mouth was covered with tape.

I removed the tape from her mouth.

"Alison" she yelled.

I rushed towards the room.

"Don't do this please" I heard Alison.

"Come on, I just want to have a little fun" said a male's voice.

Alison POV (before Emily got to the house)

I was peacefully sleeping when I heard a lot of noise coming from outside the door. CeCe entered the room and started packing my clothes.

"What is going on?" I asked as I stood up.

"The police knows, you have to get out of here before..." she said but stayed quiet.

"Before what?" I asked.

"They kill you" she said, and I started grabbing my things.

Suddenly someone opened the door and took CeCe with him, closing the door leaving me there. After a while there was silence. I heard steps walking towards my room and someone opened the door.

"What's going on?" I asked Lorenzo. I knew his name because CeCe told me all the guards names.

"The police is looking for you, I have to kill you" he said darkly.

"No, please don't kill me" I yelled backing up as he walked towards me.

"I'll make it quick, but I'm gonna have a little fun first" he said as he grabbed me roughly.

He started kissing me as I tried to get away. He kissed my neck and touched every part of my body. I tried to escape but he was really strong. I cried and yelled but nothing worked. His strong hands held my arms together so I couldn't move. He started to unbutton his pants and pulled down his zipper. I saw his big bulge and how his eyes looked at me with desire.

"Please don't do this" I cried.

"Come on, I just want to have a little fun"

Emily POV

I stormed inside the room and turned him around. I grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and held him against the wall.

"What do you think you're doing you motherfucker?" I said

"He wanted to kill me" yelled Alison.

"They were Noel's orders!" he said, and I punched him on the face.

"Emily!" yelled Noel entering the room along with Toby and CeCe.

"What the fuck were you thinking Noel!" I said walking towards him.

"We have to kill this bitch before the cops get here!" he said pushing me and walking towards Alison.

"Why did you tie up CeCe?" Noel asked Lorenzo.

"She was in the way, she wasn't gonna let me kill her" he said.

"He tried to rape me!" yelled Alison.

"Get out of here before the police arrive" yelled Noel and Lorenzo rushed out the room. "I'm gonna have to do this myself" said Noel as he took out a small knife from his pocket. He walked towards Alison, he raised his arm, but I grabbed it and took the knife.

"Give it to me!" he said as he tried punching me.

I avoided the punch and stabbed his leg.

"You motherfucker!" he groaned in pain.

"Let's go Alison" I said grabbing her hand and running out the room.

"I'm gonna make you my bitch once this is over!" yelled Noel.

We ran outside and I signaled to Alison to get inside my car. Toby and CeCe followed behind me.

"I'm sorry man, I have to keep her safe" I told him, and he nodded hugging me.

"Take care Emily" he whispered "call me when you're somewhere safe, they can't see us all together"

"Get out of here Toby" I said "for good". I handed him some of the money I had brought from my house, money we both saved over the years.

He nodded and ran with CeCe to his car "let's go"

"Get in the car" I said to Alison, she followed.

I drove away as I heard police sirens. I drove around the small streets to not catch the attention of the cops.

"Thank you, Emily," said Alison and I looked at her. I nodded and smiled.

"I can't go back Alison; we'll figure out something tomorrow to take you back home".

I drove for about two hours, looking for a place to spend the night. I looked at the back seat to make sure I still had what I brought with me. Clothes, money, the burner phone Caleb gave me, and the gun.

I looked at Alison, the moonlight illuminated her beautiful face. What are you doing to me Alison Dilaurentis I thought once again.
