Emily POV

She's was always lying. Always. Lying was Ali's way of breathing. They would linger everywhere she went, and become more and more believable the more she told. Alison ruined people lives with lies, every single day, and she didn't even seem to care. She would always say 'your always better off with a really good lie' and maybe she was right. But none of that mattered to me, because I was in love with her, and still am. Ever since I saw her that firsts day in 7th grade; those long golden locks sprawled across her shoulder and her immaculate sense of style, how could you not love her. Every guy wanted to date her and every girl wanted to be her. She was the queen of queen bees and the IT girl of IT girls.

Ali made you feel special. She made you feel loved, even when she treat you like dirt. She would make you feel the best and worst about your self at the exact same time. One look from her would change your mood for the whole day. I remember the first day she spoke to me.

I was early for English first day of semester in 7th grade as I was a new student and wanted to make a good impression. The silence of the classroom blocked out the screams of the student filled corridors as I wanted for the bell to sound. It was exactly 8:55 (5 minutes before class started) when she came waltzing into the classroom with the greatest smile you ever saw beamed across her face from ear to ear. I already knew who she was from all the gossip I'd picked up from around school; Alison Lauren Dilaurentis.
"Miss Jack-" she said, and stopped mid sentence when she realised I was the only one in the classroom.
I smiled a shy smile trying to hide the intimidation that was clearly radiating from my body, towards her.
"I'm guessing Miss Jackson isn't here" she says,
"No, she went to the staff room before first period" I reply with a quite clearly shaky voice.
"Ahhhh I see, I haven't seen you around are you new to Rosewood?" She asked me seeming surprisingly interested which confused me, "yeah I'm actually from Canada, but I moved here about a week ago"
"Canada? Wow, I've always wanted to visit Canada" she said as she sat on the desk in front of me. I didn't know how to reply so I just smiled and look down whilst twiddling my fingers.
"Well I have to get to class but it was nice meeting you..." her change in tone made me realise I hadn't even told her my name. "Emily" I reply.
"So it was nice meeting you Emily, I hope I see you around school, maybe we could have lunch together one day?" I just smiled and watched her walk towards the door. She turned and gave me a look, a look I will never forget, a look that plays on a loop in my mind on a night before I go to sleep, and look that made me feel so warm inside, it was like a felt at home. She closed the door behind her just as the bell sounded. And for the rest of the day nothing could dull my mood.

A few days later Ali invited me to eat lunch with her and her friends. She introduced me to her friends, Hanna, Spencer and Aria and from that day forward those girls have been my life. Those 4 girls, my best friends in the whole world, each and everyone one of them different and special in their own way. We will always be together, but not as a group of five anymore. That all changed the night Ali disappeared.

That night was the night that started our perpetual torment. The night that Ali's lies ended, the night she was taken from us, from me.

I know how much it hurt the other girls, but they didn't hurt as much as me. I've somewhat recovered slightly, but that void that is left inside me clinging to the hope that one day I will see her again will never leave me.
