Emison: You Know What They Say

Chapter 20: We The Jury

*seeing your comments...HAHA! I AM SO PROUD OF MYSELF! WOO! I LOVE BABIES! Okay...Enjoy this chapter, assholes* Goodnight.

Alison POV:
I swallow, and look down at my stomach in worry.

This is exactly what it was like with Eden.

I go to bathroom, get dressed and what not, and go back out to Eden.

While playing with Eden, I get a call from and unknown number.

Actually, it looks familiar.

I glance at it again, and realize it's the court.

"H-Hello?" I ask into the phone.

"It's Alison DiLaurentis available?" And unknown voice questions.

"This is she."

"Oh, great! We'd like you to come into court next week, August fifteenth, 2013." He tells me.

"Of course. Is this to-"

"Testify against Jake Cowley." The man cuts me off.

"O-Okay." I say.

"We will get you justice." He says before hanging up.

"Come on, Eden. We have to go to Emily's house!" I say excitedly.

Eden looks up at me with the cutest grin, and walks over.

"Hi, Pam!" I say once someone has opened the door.

"Hello, Alison! Come in, come in!" She ushers.

"Is Emily here?" I ask her.

"She's actually at volleyball. She should be back shortly, though. You could wait in her room if you'd like."

"Thank you." I say, and smile at her before heading upstairs.

When I enter her room, Tyler is laying on her bed flipping through magazines.

"Uh, hi." I say to him, and sit Eden down on the bed.

"Hey, Al." He says without looking up. "How's it going?"

"Not so good." I say truthfully.

"Why? What's wrong?" He questions, finally looking up.

"I can't tell you."

"You say things aren't going so great, then you don't tell me what? Ugh!" He groans.

"I'm going to court next week to get Jake in prison." I tell him.

"Good. That asshole deserves to go to hell and get snapped in half by the devil." He says as he bites his nails.

"...Why are you so girly?" I laugh.

"How am I girly?!" He shrieks.

"Well, for starters, that whole 'high pitched voice' thing you just did, yeah. Girly. You're biting your nails, and flipping through People's magazine." I say.

"Whatever." He scoffs, and rolls his eyes.

"And that." I joke.

"Stop!" He laughs, and nudges my shoulder.

"So...What have you been up to?" I ask him.

"Not much. School starts in about two weeks, and we've done nothing all summer." Tyler says.

"What about parties? Any of those?" I ask.

"Emily went to some, and I went to maybe three or four. Pretty boring summer. But I guess that's how it is when your parents are gone for most of it." He says, and let's out a sigh.

We just make small talk, and Emily comes in after maybe ten to fifteen minutes.

"Hey, Em." Tyler greets her first.

"Hey, Ty. Hey, Al." She says with a smile and puts her bag down. "Hello, Miss Eden!" She says in a baby voice and picks up Eden.

"Em, can you go to court next week? Just to be there?" I ask.

"Of course." She answers without looking at me, interested in the baby instead.

"Thanks." I say, and she smiles at me.

At court

Alison POV:
"Please bring in Jake Cowley." He judge says.

He comes out, two guards holding onto him.

"Asshole." Emily says.

Jake glares at her, and takes his seat.

"Order in the court!" The judge yells, and everyone quiets down.

It begins, and Jake is called up to give his side of the story.

"Did you, or did you not force yourself on Alison DiLaurentis?"

"I did not." He says, and I see a small smirk on his face.

"Liar." Emily blurts out, trying to cover it with a cough.

I clear my throat, and send daggers at her.

She looks over at me and gives me a look as if saying "what did I do?!"

Jake gives his statement, which was all lies, and then I'm called up.

"Ms. DiLaurentis, explain your side of the story please." My lawyer says.

"I was at a party, and everyone there was drunk. Jake came over to me and started talking to me and he was completely shit-faced. He grabbed my hand, and dragged me up the stairs. When he got on top of me, I tried to push him off of me but he just put more force on me." I say, my throat feeling as if it's closing up.

"There it is." I hear Emily mumble, and Spencer, who is also here, hits her shoulder.

I roll my eyes, and look at Jake's lawyer.

"But you did initiate this, didn't you?" He asks me.

"What?" I scoff.

"Was what you were wearing...revealing?"

"No! Are you saying I was asking to get raped?!" I yell. "And he came to me!"

He goes quiet, just staring at me.

He knows I'm right.

We go over the statements again, ask questions, and get a few more comments from the one and only Emily Catherine Fields.

"Do we have a verdict?" The judge asks.

"Yes we do, your honor." Some random lady says as she stands up with a notepad. "In the state of Pennsylvania, we the jury, find the defendant guilty of rape twice on a minor and sentenced to life in prison." She says.

(A/N So, I'm saying since he raped her twice, and she's six years younger than him, he gets life. And because he's a fuckboy. Kay? Kay.)

It feels as if someone has lifted a huge weight off of my fragile shoulders, and I can breathe again.

"That's right, you asshole!" I hear Emily shout. "Go rot in a jail house! Isn't much better than hell! You fucking asshole!"

"Emily!" Hanna yells, and slaps her in the back of her head.

Emily looks away from Jake as he gets hauled out, and looks over at me.

She runs over and pulls me into a hug, spinning me around.

"You won!" She exclaims as she puts me down.

"We won." I correct her.

"Huh?" She questions, obviously confused.

"If it weren't for you, we would stop be out there. This is on you. You didn't let me push you away, you kept trying. And you...saved me!" I say.

She smiles at me, and u guess she gets caught up in the moment, because she smashed her lips to mine.
