Emison: Something Big (ON HOLD)

Chapter 7: Pills Won't Help

Alison's Pov

I open my eyes and look around the room and of course I found Emily across from me in my chair.
What the hell is she doing here!

I get up and slowly tip toe to my bathroom and lock it shut. I look at myself in the mirror and I remember everything that happened last night.

Emily protected me to tons of guys. Wow.

I go in my drawer and grab out some pills and lie two out and fill my empty cup with water.

I grab one pill and look in the mirror. Then I plop the pill in my mouth and take a chug water and I do the same with the other pill.

Now that I took my pills I wait until they kick in. I look down and close my eyes as I re picture last night played out.

"I can't believe Noel," I whisper as I close my eyes.

"I'm strong and brave, but with him I'm a scared little girl that just needs someone to love," I sigh.

Emily's Pov

I wake up and found Alison not in her bed, which made me go alert. I slowly stand up and try to picture the room the way I found it last night. I remember a door was wide open and when I open my eyes I found the door closed. I walk up to the door and I was about to knock until I heard her whispering to herself.

"I'm strong and brave, but with him I'm a scared little girl that just needs someone to love."

Is that really why she stayed with Noel because she wanted someone to love her. That has to be the saddest thing I ever heard.

The door swings open and Alison is shocked to see me awake.

"We're you listening," she asks.

"No."

I turn around and sit on her bed.

"Why are you still here Emily. Get out we have school and the great part is that it's a Friday," Alison turns around to look at me.

"Wow no thanks for helping you last night," I question.

"I could've handled it myself," Alison hisses.

I stand up. "No you wouldn't Alison," I grit my teeth.

"Whatever.... On your way out do me a favor. Keep your mouth shut about last night," Ali states.

"Only if you stop seeing Noel," I challenge her.

"That's my love life so it's my problem and I'll deal with it," Alison looks threw her dresser as the words come pouring out.

"How can you handle a guy that your scared of," I argue.

"I said I'll deal with it; just leave me alone," Alison replies.

I walk back to her bed and sit down.

"Get out Emily," Alison yells as I know she became impatient. I'm getting to her somehow.

"You need my help Alison. I seen this before with my real dad," I say.

Alison turns around and looks at me. "So that man that drove us home was your step dad," Alison asks.

"Yes."

Ali walks over to her desk and I quickly follow her.

"My dad was hitting my mom and using her. My mom was so in love with him and scared of him at the same time she didn't have the guts to break it off. But the worst thing is that I had to watch my mom get beaten and used everyday and that broke me because I tried to kill my dad one night. I was really going to do it until my mom stopped me from doing it. After a year went by I finally called the police because my mother was unconscious on the floor. But my dad was just on the couch drinking god a damn beer and stared at her body. I was only 8 Alison. 8 years old when all of it stopped."I explain as I am tearing up.
