Alison
I woke up the next morning, and I didn't even want to open my eyes. I didn't want to have to face what I've become. For the longest time possible, which was maybe ten or twenty minutes, I laid there with my eyes shut as I heard Emily walking around. "Ali," she said, "do you want something to eat?"
I opened my eyes, but everything I saw still felt like nothingness. I sat up in bed, not even realizing what I was doing. "No," I said, "I'm not hungry." Emily kissed me on the forehead and patted my hair, but then walked away based on the disinterest she saw in my eyes. I then continued to sit there, just staring out the window, for another hour. Emily came back up the stairs and into her room, seeing me sitting just as I was before.
"Ali," she sighed before she came to hold me. Her touch, at first, made me cry for the way I had been touched before, but then I sobbed for the fact not only did I get myself into this mess, but she is now a part of it as well.
"Em, I want you to listen to me. I'm going to go soon. And after I leave, I want you to never think of me ever again. Do you understand me," I sobbed into her arms.
"I'm not leaving you. I'm not leaving your side, do you understand that?"
"You don't deserve having to deal with someone like me. Emily, you deserve the best. I can't undo what happened to me, but I can stop everything you're going to have to go through before it even happens. I'm going to go shower and then walk home."
"I'm already wrapped up in you, Ali. You can't just tell me to stop caring about you. I'm not saying it's going to be easy, but it's impossible for this all just to end."
I reached up to kiss Emily, and our lips met, but I soon tugged mine away. "Too soon," I said. She nodded that she understood. And soon, I just faded to black, falling asleep in her arms, which is right where I woke up a short four hours later. "Hey," I said in a sleepy-soggy voice.
"Hey, you're up," she said.
"Were you awake that whole time?"
"Maybe," she said shyly. "The police called while you were asleep... they want you down at the station. Wouldn't tell me why, but it sounded urgent."
"Oh," I replied, "um, I'll just take shower and get dressed and we can go."
She grabbed my hand. "You want me to come with you?"
I never thought about it. The idea of us, one unit, was just obvious. "Em, I don't think I'd be able to go without you."
