Emison: Love Me Like You Do

Did You Miss Me? - 13

ALISON'S POV

*2 months later*

Every now and then I check on the girls, to see how they're doing, if they're safe, and it seems like every time I see them, the smiles on their faces grow wider. I guess A did leave them alone when I left. I'm standing outside one of the girls houses. I always leave my favourite till last. I stand outside Emily's house, just staring at it. Memories come flooding back. The freaky foodies marathon we had with the girls when I came back. Then comes the memory that is the most painful for me, our kiss.

I hear a car pull over near the house, and then all goes silent. The lights from the car shut off, and I stand still, fear paralyzing me. I slowly look down, trying to hide my face, just in case it's Emily or anyone of the girls coming to visit her.

I hear the clicking of heels on the ground, near towards me, still standing still in fear. I feel a hand on my shoulder, and I tense, before deciding to make a run for it. I try to run as fast as I can, as far as I can, but my heels fail to help me, tears falling as the wind blows through my hair. I stop by the gutter, and fall to the ground. I position myself, and bring my knees up, burying my face on the top of my knee.

I hear the patter of heels on the ground, and I glance up, seeing the shoes stop on front of me. They're sharp breaths filling the air. I try to keep my face hidden, though my eyes are staring straight. I see the person bend down in front of me.

"Hey, are you okay? I hear a familiar tone of voice, the worried, panicked tone. The wind blows, knocking down my hoody and I get a waft of their scent, fairy floss, and instantly I knew who it was. "Alison?" The sound of my name makes me tense, and burying my face into my knees more.

"Alison, it's me.. Emily" I feel her eyes burning into me, and I slowly turn my head to look at her. Tears welling up in my eyes, falling soon after. I stand up slowly, feeling like I'm going to pass out. I hug myself tightly, composing myself, and keeping myself from fainting.

I look up at Emily, and her face is impassive. I continue to gaze at her, observing every action she does, observing every new thing of hers. The way her eyes shine when the gas lamps hit the right spot, the way her hair flows in the wind. My observations are cut short, when I feel a pair of arms, wrapping me tightly. I stand, shocked, before regaining my sense, and deciding to hug back. I feel the tears welling up in my eyes, and I try to keep them there. It's only when Emily tightens that the tears start to fall.

"Ohmygosh Ali, you're here, in the flesh, alive. you-- you were-- It's really you" Emily stutters, trying to find the right words to use, pinching my cheeks in the process.

"I know" I chuckle, "I've been checking up on all of you" I sigh deeply, "I missed you" I give her a weak smile, and gives it back, I gaze up into her eyes, longer than I expected to. No words are spoken, our deeps breaths are the only thing being heard, before Emily breaks the silence.

"Where have you been Ali? I thought you--" Emily chokes on her words, and clenches her mouth together, trying to hold back the tears. "I thought you were dead.." Emily sighs, "Again"

"But I'm not. I've died a thousand deaths and live to tell each and every one of them" I laugh, trying to lighten the mood.

"I missed you so much Ali, you have no idea." Emily runs her fingers through her hair, sighing. her hands fall and she takes my hand in hers, pulling me towards her house.

EMILY'S POV

"I had to Em. Everything I did was to protect you.." I stare at Ali, trying to hold back all my emotions has she swallowed down her tears, "Spencer, Aria and Hanna. If I didn't leave, A would have killed you, and if anything happened to you--" Ali clenches her eyes shut, swallowing harshly before speaking, "I couldn't live with myself, I couldn't live at all" Tears start to form and fall from my eyes, as Ali tries to hold hers back. I reach out and grasp Ali's hand, in a way to comfort her. Ali rubs her thumb on the surface of my hand, before I pull her into a hug.

Ali buries her chin into the crook of my neck, as I rub her back. Every moment passing, I hug her tighter, with the fear that she'll slip out of my arms. I let out a small sigh before starting to tense my muscle. Ali pulls away and gives me a confused look.

"What's wrong?" Ali reaches for my hand, intertwining our fingers. 

"You have no idea how much I missed you Ali, I missed you more than Hanna could miss freaky foodies. Please don't leave" Tears fall from my eyes, but I try to wipe them away with my jacket sleeve before Ali could notice I was about cry. 

Ali lets out a small sigh before pulling me into a hug, I bury my face into the crook of her, tears streaming from my eyes, I feel Ali run her hands down my back in a caressing way. 

"I never want to leave Em" I feel a delicate pair of lips come into contact with my collar bone. I close my eyes to savour the feeling of her lips on my skin. 

Ali leans back to look at me directly. Ali's eyes flicker from my eyes to my lips, before finally linger on my lips. I gaze at Ali, her face impassive. Ali bites her lower lip before leaning in. I feel her breath on my lips, as we stand centimetres apart, before closing the gap. 

Ali's lips collide into mine, our lips moving in sync. Ali slightly pulls away while slightly biting my lower lip, before leaning back in. Ali begins to run her fingers through my hair and I pull away. 

"I"m sorry-- I can't do this Ali, I'm-- dating someone else" I break the news to Ali, and I see her flinch and swallow harshly, before she regains her emotionless look. 

"Oh, uh-- that's.i. new" Ali says with a tone of sadness. I gaze at her, noticing her lips trembling. 

"I'm sorry Ali..." I play with my fingers, hoping the awkward moment will pass by sooner. 

"It's fine, I don't expect you to hold onto me forever" Ali's voice breaks mid sentence, and the tears start to pool in her eyes, before the tears start to fall off her beautiful face. I let them fall before wiping the tears away. I plant a soft kiss near each eye, before placing one on her cheek. 

"I'll see you at school sometime?" I murmur to Ali

"Uh yeah, maybe in a week I'll come back. I kinda need to stay here now since you found me and told me not to leave" Ali lets out a small laugh, trying to lighten the mood. I chuckle at her joke before tucking a loose hair strands before my eyes. Ali gives me a weak smile, before walking to my front door. 

"Alright, until then Ali" I give her back a small smile, before opening the door, allowing her to leave. She walks out the door, turning back, and glancing at me before checking both sides of the pavement and walking away. I close the door, and head over to the kitchen. 

I pour myself a glass of water, and grab a banana from the fruit basket. I pull out my phone message Aria. 

"Hey. I need to tell you something tomorrow, it's really important and right now, I feel like you'd be the one to freak out less..." I press the sleep wake button before placing my phone on the kitchen counter screen down and resting my head on my forearms. 3 minutes pass before I feel a vibration coming from my phone. 

"Yeah sure, I don't know if I can wait till tomorrow, because I'm the kid of the group, and the most curious one but I can always try and wait, haha :) Hope everythings alright Em" 

Aria's text always make me smile, she knows how to make light of a situation and doesn't overdo it. I finish my glass of water before resting my head on my forearms and falling asleep.

Well. I can't write anything anymore.. at least for right now. SO until I have some inspiration, this will be on hold. :( But I'm really excited to see what Pretty Little Liars has in store for Emison, so maybe when the next episode airs, we'll see if I can get some inspiration from it :) Enjoy the new chapter
