Emison: camping trip

Chapter 6.

"Didn't he say his car had broken down?" Emily asked, they had been driving for a good five minutes now.

"Yeah, but there's no car" Spencer pointed out. The side road was the only road for miles, it expanded all the way back to town.

"That's what I was going to say, if his car broke down it had to be around here. We're five minutes away from town and haven't seen another car." Emily further explained.

"I knew there was something off about him" Aria mumbled.

"You felt it too?" Cece piped in, she thought only Emily and herself had noticed.

Alison had been quiet the whole drive, just looking out the window, thinking about the strange exchange.

"There!" Spencer spoke, Emily exited off the highway and drove to the beat down motel.

"I don't know Spence, this place looks creepy" Alison said timidly, she was one to never get scared but after the encounter with that strange man, she had been feeling nothing but scared.

"It's this or sleeping in the car" Spencer explained. Alison slowly nodded, knowing the only real option was for them to stay in the motel.

Emily parked the car and got off along with Cece, while the other four waited in the car.

"Are you okay Ali? You look like you've seen a ghost" Hanna asked, she had jumped up to sit in the drivers seat.

"Fine, it's just something about that man seemed familiar, I feel like I've seen him somewhere" she tried thinking why that man seemed so familiar.

"I'm sure it's nothing Als" Hanna reassured her friend as best she could, she herself was also having similar thoughts.

"Yeah, you're probably right Han" Alison sighed, trying to get rid of whatever nerves she had.

Emily knocked on the passengers side window making Alison jump.

She opened her door.

"We got one room, there's two beds and a pull out sofa, Ce's paying right now" Emily explained.

Soon after, Cece walked out, holding two key cards.

"Here" she handed one of the cards to Emily.

The girls got off the car, grabbing whatever they needed before walking to room 112.

The room itself looked okay, it wasn't a 10/10 but it was okay for being the only motel in miles.

"So who gets what?" Hanna asked, already laying on one of the three beds.

Emily walked over to the couch and opened it up, converting it into a bed.

"I'll sleep here" she offered, meaning Alison would also be sleeping there. The two knew they were third wheeling or was it fifth wheeling? Because Hanna and Cece would always want to be with each other, and the same goes for Aria and Spencer.

Alison laid down and soon enough so did Emily. The girls turned out all the lights and soon fell asleep. All but one girl, Alison. She was sure she knew that man. Something about him was so familiar. Her thoughts ran wildly as she tried as hard as she could to remember who he was.

"Emily" Alison whispered, she was facing the ceiling. "Em" she said a bit louder. The brunette turned slightly so she was on her side facing Alison.

"Yeah?" She whispered back just as soft.

"I can't sleep" Alison huffed.

Emily looked down for a split second at Alisons lips before looking back up.

"What are you thinking about?" Emily whispered.

"The man, I know him. I've seen him before, I know I have" She was positive she knew him. She had seen him somewhere, she just couldn't remember where.

"Als, don't think about that."

Als.

Alison couldn't describe it but it made her feel all jittery and soft inside, hearing Emily call her Als.

"I know, but I can't help it" Alison whined like a little kid. She hated that she kept thinking about him. She didn't want to. Her brain kind of just did it. Like subconsciously.

"Just try" Emily urged in a teasing manner.

"I can't" Alison huffed. She crossed her arms and laid flat on her back with a frown set on her pink lips.

Emily let out a breathy chuckle before hugging Alison. Something that took them both by surprise. Alison stiffened for a bit before relaxing and cuddling into Emily a bit more.

The two girls laid there, taking in each others presence and how nice it had been to be together. Neither would admit it, but this past day together was one of the best.

Soon both girls fell asleep, with thoughts of each other running through their mind.

I'm not really sure why this chapter took me so long, I kinda just wanted one without drama.

I'm not sure if you all have noticed but I don't go back and edit so if there's any mistakes, that's why.

Have a good day!
