Emily's POV
Today is moving day...
I've thought for a while that staying in rosewood was not the best decision I made after I left Radley.
I make my way in to my room to finish cello taping the rest of the boxes. After finishing packing up my clothes and putting them in the boxes I take them down to the moving van, heading out my door I spot a blonde from across the street standing near the bus stop, I thought I was hallucinating when I thought it was Ali, I shook my head and carried on walking to the van. "3 more to go" I mumbled to myself after stretching my arms as they ached from the heavy boxes I had to carry.
Finally. The last box till I can get away from this god awful place.
The last box was unfortunately the heaviest, nice. I head out of the door and turn around to say my last goodbyes to the house I grew up in, the house where I was all alone by myself, without parents or any responsibilities. I sigh and turn around. "Ugh". The box slips from my hands and crashes on the floor dragging me down with it, why did the box have to be so damn heavy?
"Fuck" I say putting my hand on my nose which had blood dripping from it.
"oh my god, I'm so sorry" the stranger says quietly.
That voice, I've heard it before.
I look up to see a blue eyed blonde towering over me. Of course it was Alison.
"Are you okay?" Ali asks looking at my nose which still had blood dripping from it.
"e-erm, yeah I'm fine"
"Here, let's get you cleaned up" Ali sticks her arm out in front of me, I hesitate for a minute. Why was she at my house? Why was she helping me? I shake my head at the questions running through my mind and take her hand.

"You're moving?" Alison asks as she dabs tissue on my sore and bloody nose.
"y-yeah" I reply.
I look into Alison's bright, blue, and beaming eyes. They aren't vibrant or confident like they used to be. Ali looked sad and drowsy and I couldn't  help but wonder why. I haven't seen her in 3 weeks, not since that night when i was at her house.
"Oh, how come?"
Why is she so bothered on why I'm moving? I "ruined" her life remember?
"Just to have a new start really"
"Oh" was all she could say.

Alison POV
I really wish I could tell Emily to stay here, with me. I regret saying those hurtful words to her when she came to my house. I didn't apologise and I really should. Maybe that will get her to stay, if I tell her I'm sorry and show my true feelings that I have towards her. Just maybe.
"e-em?" I ask, terrified of what her reaction will be towards what I'm about to say.
"I never apologised, for the t-things I said to y-you, when you came to my house. I never apologised for hurting you."
"Ali it's fine"
Fine? Why is she saying it's fine?! It's the complete opposite!
"No, it's not."
"It is, you were right. I did ruin your life, so it's best if I stay out of it"
My heart was beating so fast, I can't believe I've made em feel this way. I'm such a jerk!
"Please don't say that"
"Well it's the truth" she mumbles.
"No, it's most definitely not. You shouldn't leave because of me."
"Stay."
"Please"
"Ali, I-I, I can't stay here."
"Why not?"
"Because I'd rather go than stay here and see the girl I like hate me...it's too painful Ali"
oh my god. Emily just admitted that she likes me. Now is my chance.
"Em, there's actually something I need to tell you"
I freeze for a minute and take a deep breathe.
"Go on" she says.
"Well, the thing is...I think...that I may like you too"
Shit.
"y-you do?"
"Of course I do, em."

Hope you guys enjoyed.
