Friends Forever

Mistakes

   We were in the school library while everyone else was at lunch. I heard her laughing and when I walked to the aisle she was in, she was on the ground reading a book assigned for our class.

Flashback:
Emily's POV:
   I walked to see the beautiful blonde sitting on the ground reading Great Expectations. I smiled.

Emily: "What's so funny?"

Alison: "Their names. Pip, Mr.Wopsle, Uncle Pumblechook. They all sound like stuffed animals."

Emily: "I can't believe you already finished it." I say down next to her and looked at her and smiled.

Alison: "Want me to tell you what happens? I can make you a cheat sheet?" I smiled. "You know you should really let me braid your hair sometime." I nodded and smiled.

Emily: "Yea. I'd like that."

Alison: "Can I read you something?" I smiled and nodded, I didn't talk much. "I loved her against reason, against promise, against peace, against hope, against happiness, against all discouragement that could be." She looked up at me and smiled wide.

   Without even thinking I started to lean into her. And to my surprise, she leaned in too. After what seemed like an eternity, our lips touched. It only lasted a second and it was a very quick peck, but it sent a wave of butterflies and electricity through me. It was my very first kiss, and I loved it. We looked into each other's eyes smiling. The bell rang and then we left, not mentioning the kiss to anyone. Not even each other. Then, two days later it happened again.
   We went for a swim in the schools pool. It was after school hours so no one was there. We got out and showered and then began to get dressed. Then Alison turned to me, topless as I was fully dressed. She was showing me a bra she got.

Alison: "Have you seen this? I got it in a French Catalogue. They have them in like every color. Do me a favor would you? Hook it for me?" I looked her up and down and nodded.

   She put the bra on and over her shoulder. My fingers trembled as I reached for her hair and moved it the right of her neck. I grabbed the back of the bra and clipped it. I slid my hand down her shoulder and began to kiss her neck. She pulled away and looked at me scared.

Alison: "What are you doing?"

Emily: "N-nothing I...just"

Alison: "You just what? Just because we kissed the other day in the library Emily, doesn't mean I'm into you like that. A kiss is a kiss. I like boys. And trust me, if I'm kissing you, it's because it's practice. For the real thing." She said coldly.

  I felt so hurt. Like someone ripped my very out and stomped on it right infront of me. I put my things in the my locker and went to leave until she stopped me.

Alison: "Hey! Where are you going? You're my ride remember?" I leaned against the wall waiting for her to finish in disgust and sadness.

End of flashback.

   That was the day I resented Alison Dilaurentis. Everyday since then I gave her the cold shoulder. Even now. And she doesn't seem to care, so why should I? I recently met a girl named Maya St.Germain. She's really nice. We've been openly seeing each other for awhile now. It took my mom a few weeks to accept us. And me. But it's okay now. I still have strong feelings for Alison, but Maya helps me forget about them. She makes the bad days good. And the rainy days sunny. I'm thankful for her and all she does for me. Alison started targeting us, since we're the schools first open gay couple ever. So it was a leverage for Alison. She enjoyed it. And the other girls tried to help stop her. But she never listened to anyone. Since I started dating Maya, she's gotten more rude and cold hearted. I'm shocked Noel didn't break up with her yet. Was becoming apart of the group a mistake? Or a blessing?
