Ali's POV
My 18th birthday I thought to myself as I got up out of bed. Today needs to be extra special. I'm not a party person but today I'll make exceptions. I take a look at my phone to be welcomed with 4 messages all from my best friends.
Spencer: Happy 18th Birthday you crazy chick! Love you lots!🎉🎉
Aria;Happy birthday Alison! See you tonight!🎈
Hanna; Alison DiLaurentis. You're 18 now. Who would have thought you'd make it here? Happy birthday you crazy woman! See you tonight!!🎉🎊
And last but not least. One from Emily. Today's my 18th birthday and I want to make it count, especially with Emily.
Emily;Hi Alison! Happy 18th birthday. This will be one for the memories! Let's make it count! I love you loads!🎊🙊❤️
Tonight's the night I want to ask Emily to be mine. Officially. I pace around my room, looking for things to do. My dads on a business trip and Jason's at a rehab center. My mom. Well my Mom died 3 years ago. However we don't talk about it anymore.
I walk downstairs to hear knocking at my door. I open the door to see none other than Jason. My jaw dropped.
"Jason?" I ask in disbelief, I jump on him giving him a hug.
"Hey little sis, Happy birthday", He hugs me back tightly.
"I thought you weren't coming back for 3 more weeks?"
"Yeah, well Emily here, came and paid some kind of fee for me to finish my program early" Jason replied, moving out the way revealing Emily stood behind him.
"You did this?" I looked at Emily, she nodded in response. The both walked inside the house, Emily shutting the door behind her.
I can't believe Emily did this. I mean she said she had a surprise but I never thought it would be this. I searched the rehab clinic that Jason had stayed at, and his early exit fee was well over $2000. I look over to the kitchen, seeing Emily and Jason in deep conversation.
"Okay, well, I'll see you tonight? Right?"Jason shook his head to Emily's questions.
"What? you're not coming to my party?" I interrupt their conversation.
"Ali, I'm sorry. Its just I can't be surrounded by drugs and alcohol." He states, I nod in response.
"Right, I need to go get ready for tonight, bye Ali" Emily, walked out my front door, I couldn't help but stare.

I sit in front of my mirror, staring for about 20 minutes. Trying to figure out my feelings around this whole situation is hard.
I walk over to my wardrobe and pick out a white skater dress with a black leather strap across the torso, along with some white heels. I put loose curls in my hair, soon before putting on my make up; light powder, a few layers of mascara and cherry lip gloss. I put on my dress, slide on my heels and spray on some of my vanilla scented perfume.
[...]
I make my way to the party, I see everyone. Apart from Emily. Where is she?
"Hey Ali!" I hear Spencer shout from the right side of me.
"Hey Spence." I turn walking towards her, she embraces me into a hug.
"Have you seen Em?" I pull away from the hug, staring at her in hope.
"Yeah, shes with Ben, they just went inside" I groaned looking around, getting the occasion 'Happy Birthday' from people as I walk through the crowd. Why did I even agree to this party, it was a main excuse for Hanna to drink to be fair.
I finally make it inside to find Emily and Ben sat on the 3 seated white plush sofa my mom had brought a few weeks before she had died.
Emily looks up noticing I was stood there. She looks afraid, mainly because I never let anyone sit on this sofa. Ben looks around noticing me too, he shoots up onto his feet.
"Ali, Im sorry, We just.. We just came in here to talk" Her voice was shaky almost fearful.
"Em, its fine. Ben could you give us a minute?" He just nods and walks outs.
The truth is I wanted Emily to myself, she doesn't realize this but I honestly love her. I've wanted to tell her for a while but I've never found the right words or the right time. I guess now's a good of time as any.
"Are you having a good birthday?" Emily asked ever so innocently, I nodded back to her.
"Yeah, it's been great, thank you. You especially made it special" she sits back onto the sofa and I join sitting next to her.
"Ali, I never did anything today" she exhaled and inhaled slowly.
"You brought Jason back Em. On my birthday, that's amazing, and I couldn't thank you enough" her hands slide into mine, intertwining our fingers. I couldn't help but smile.
It's silent in the room we're in, with the faded echo of music in the back ground. Her eyes are sparkling in the dim lit room. I steal glances at her. Her natural beauty defines who she is, she's beautiful and I can't help but now stare at her.
"Ali," Emily's voice is soft as this point. Her hand is placed firmly on my cheek. I look directly into her eyes, she edges forwards, i do the same. She places her lips onto mine, she kisses me with such passion, I kiss her back. Our lips fit together like pieces to a puzzle. I slide my hands up and down her torso, placing them on the back of her neck.
Emily pulls away placing her forehead against mine, we're both out of breath.
"Happy birthday Ali" Emily smile, and pecks my lips again.
I'm in love with Emily Fields.
