EMISON Love the way you lie

4. Kissing rock

Emily

Principal King just confirmed that she really is Courtney Dilaurentis. How come Ali never talked about her sister, she never once mentioned her to us. We talked for a while and she asked where we could find Ali. Shoot! I almost forgot that we would meet at the parking lot.
As we are walking to the parking lot, we saw the girls standing near Spencer's car. People around us started gasping and gossiping as they see Courtney with me and Ali standing not far from where we are. Curious looks were being thrown at us and I could feel Courtney's hand tense on my arm. She feels as uncomfortable as Ali looks. The expression on Ali's face hardened as we came nearer, the other girls just stared with their mouth open.
"Hey sis" Courtney greeted Ali. She has this happy-go-lucky vibe with her while Ali has that guarded attitude, bossy most of the time. The whole conversation that followed is a blur to me, I only stared at Ali who looks like she is about to cry as the girls chatted with Courtney. she is jealous or afraid that Courtney might be the new talk of the town and seeing that the other girls are being a little too friendly to Courtney. I know Ali that much. She doesnt have a lot of friends apart from us, she may treat us badly sometimes but I know she cant afford to lose us.
Courtney: hey em lets go!
I heard her call my name. I cant leave Ali by herself, i know the other girls are tired of putting up with Ali but she is my best friend. I made up some lame excuse and I saw Courtney wink and smiled at me. Like she knows something was up.
I knew i had to cheer Ali up. I need to know how to make her feel better, our bond is closer than the other girls, Ali opens up to me and shows me a side that nobody else knows. The cold hearted bitchy queen bee act that she puts on doesnt work on me, i know she's more than that. And to me she's more than just a friend. I have loved her since the day I met her. I dont know if anyone else notices it, i dont think Ali feels it too, but i will never get tired of loving Ali from a distance, she needs me now more than ever. She can always open up to me, and ill be there in a heartbeat.

Ali: Em?
Me: yes!
Ali: thank you! For staying with me!
Me: I have a lot of questions in my head Ali, how come you never told us you had a twin? Why didnt you grow up together? And many many more. But its your decision and i respect that.
Ali: its complicated Em, everything about me is complicated. Im a bitch, bossy, bully and Courtney is the exact opposite of me, she's fun and nice, easy to get along, intelligent, beautiful, just a nice person overall. The perfect daughter. And i messed her up, growing up our parents were always in favor of me and Courtney felt that she is unwanted, she did everything she could to stay away from me and started rebelling, when our parents decided to migrate here, Courtney made sure she is going to be left behind, did all the crazy stuff that would end her up in a boarding school. She got worse every year that would pass by. I always felt like it was my fault that that happened to the once sweet child. I've always wanted to apologize but Courtney shut me out completely in her life. I got mad at her and did the same thing. We both forgot that we had sisters. What you saw on the parking lot? Is the nicest conversation we've had so far.
Em: is it too late for both of you to fix everything?? Its not your fault and its not Courtney's fault either.
Ali: we never really tried reaching out to each other. Im sure the girls would love to have Courtney as a friend. I was just afraid that I was going to lose you too.
Me: i can be Courtney's friend too Ali, but you.. You are my bestfriend and ill always be here for you.
She gave me a faint smile and hugged me for a long time. I wish we could stay like this forever. I wish Ali would let her guard down so that the others would understand her as well. She is not what she appears to be. I wish i could tell her how I really feel. Would she even consider loving me in the way that I look at her.

Ali: lets head home, its late!
She grabbed my hand and we walked quietly out of the woods. Kissing rock is what we call it. Ali's and my special place.
