Chapter 6: Rosewood Bound

         

I am so so so so so so sorry about this really late update!!!!

Alison's POV

Emily Fields: I'm sorry, I shouldn't have reacted like that. i did it because it sucked that you didn't feel like you could tell me, i thought we were past that

I read her message as soon as I had woken up and now I was sitting up in bed as I started to feel more and more guilty.

Alison DiLaurentis: I should've told you... I didn't mean to hurt you... You mean a lot to me Emmy and I would really appreciate if you could come... I need my best friend

You don't need your best friend. You need her.

I shook my head at the thought, set my phone down and rubbed my hands over my face. I just wasn't awake enough yet, that's all. Whilst I was waiting for answer, I went to freshen up in the bathroom. Elliot was still asleep. It was Sunday, his only day off and I knew the hospital had been stressing him out a lot lately. He got a new patient who really needed help. A transgender young adult rejected by her parents and who'd just lost it and started threatening her own little brother and his friends. Luckily, they caught her and realised what was happening before any real damage was done. Now, Elliot found himself looking after her pretty much all the time. No one visited her. He was her only source of comfort. It was something he always provided for others around him. He just gave off this sense of security and warmth. It was one of the numerous reasons I loved him.

Emily Fields: I know... Which is why I'm coming to the wedding but...

Alison DiLaurentis: But...

Emily Fields: I'm bringing a plus one

Alison DiLaurentis: You are not bringing one of your sluts to my wedding! That is not happening Emily Catherine Fields

EF: Who said I was? They would all think I'm serious about them

AD: Oh yeah wouldn't want that happening now would we?

EF: Oh fuck off

AD: Whatever... So who is it then?

EF: Quinn

I gulped nervously. Shit. Quinn. The girl who made everything change. The girl who caused this mess in our relationship. But also the girl who was there for Emily when she lost contact with us for a couple of months. The girl who keeps her grounded. The one who is there for her. But do I really want to invite her to my wedding, when she's the reason it's not with the person I thought it would be?

Don't be dumb, Ali. Everything happens for a reason. You and Emily weren't meant to be, that's it. Elliot and you, on the other hand. Everything is always perfect with him. There has never been any bad. It's always good. It's always the way it should be. He never does anything to scare me or worry me or doubt his love for me. He keeps me safe, he doesn't risk me. He doesn't make me question who I am. He's good for me. He's meant for me, surely.

I guess there'd be no harm. From what I've understood she doesn't particularly approve of Em's sex life either, so if anything, she can stop her from doing anything stupid at my wedding.

AD: Yeah sure... There's no harm but only to the wedding and reception. She's not coming to my bachelorette

EF: That's all I ask. Thank you Alison

God... What am I doing? I take a deep breath and get back into bed and cuddle into Elliot's side. I really hope I'm doing the right thing. I can't help but think that something is off and it scares me. It scares me for the first time in five years, I don't know if I'm doing the right thing. I shake my head at the thoughts and slowly allow myself to drift to sleep, letting thoughts of the wedding to my soulmate take over. God! I love my knight in shining armour.
