EMILY'S POV
You and I, we're like fireworks and symphonies exploding in the sky
with you, I'm alive
like all the missing pieces of my heart, they finally collideSo stop time right here in the moonlight
'Cause I don't ever wanna close my eyesWithout you, I feel broke
Like I'm half of a whole
Without you, I've got no hand to hold
Without you, I feel torn
Like a sail in a storm
Without you, I'm just a sad song
I'm just a sad songWith you, I fall
It's like I'm leaving all my past and silhouettes up on the wall
With you, I'm a beautiful mess
It's like we're standing hand and hand with all our fears up on the edgeSo stop time right here in the moonlight
'Cause I don't ever wanna close my eyesAli came back. Just like that. I spent years daydreaming, about when she would come back. How I would tell her how I felt, still feel. That even though she was gone, she would always be in my heart. But no, I couldn't do it. I looked right into her eyes and I couldn't say a thing. Why?!? So now, I'm sitting on my bed asking myself that question, over and over and over again. Why didn't I say it? Why couldn't I get it out of my mouth? And now, Sad Song by We the Kings came on. Our song. I feel a tear rolling down my face as someone knocks on the door.
"Em? "
I know who it is immediately. Ali. I wipe away the tear, turn off the music and go to the door.
"Hi." She says, like she didn't expect me to answer the door.
"Hey." I answer. One thing I forgot about, she knows when I'm upset. Damn it.
"Hey, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, I'm fine." I lie, smiling, hoping she doesn't push it because I know she knows I'm lying.
"Okay..." shit she knows. "Can I come in?" thank God she didn't push it.
"Yea, why not?"
ALISON'S POV
I pull up to Em's house. I came here to tell her my feelings. That I've been in love with her ever since that kiss in the library. I knock on her door and her mom answers.
"Hey Alison!" her mom says, greeting me even though I know she doesn't like me at the moment.
"Hey, is Emily home?"
"Yeah, she's upstairs, just knock on her door before you go in though. Okay?"
"Okay..." why knock? I never knock. "But, I kinda need to talk to you first, is that okay?"
"Yea, sure, what's up?"
"I need to talk to you about Em." I state, I can see her face go from curious to intrigued.
"Okay... what about?"
"I was actually wondering if I could ask her on a date."
"OMG! Of course you can!!! I just know she'll say yes!"
"Okay, jeez, let me go talk to her"
*In Emily's Room*
I know she's upset but she doesn't look like she wants to talk about it.
"So, what're you doing here?" She asks when I sit at the end of her bed.
"I came to talk to you about something." I say, looking at myself in the mirror
"Okay, what is it?" She asks getting impatient
"Well, Em, I was looking back on the past and I realize now why I kept hurting you. Every time you would make a move to kiss me or something like that, I would shut you down because I am scared. Scared of what people would think, and scared of my feelings for you. Scared that I would fall and you wouldn't catch me." At this point I feel a tear on my check so I just look straight up. I feel her finger pulling my head back down to look at her. She wipes my tear away.
"Yes... What about it?"
"I'mfallinginlovewithyou." I say super fast and then just look down, finding my feet interesting.
"Ali... What did you just say?" She asks staying calm but I can see a smile starting to spread across her face.
Yep, no more falling. I just smashed into the ground.
EMILY'S POV
"Ali... What did you just say?" I try to stay calm but I can't help but put a smile on my face.
"I'm. In. Love. With. You." She says, but this time it's slow and she looks straight into my eyes.
I look down and I feel tears start to fall down my face and onto my sheets. Ali, being the person she is, notices and tilts my chin up.
"Now I know I've treated you bad in the past and I don't blame you if you don't want to give us a chance. Because quite I wouldn't either. But I do know that I'm in love with you. I don't know what I would've done if I wouldn't have told you-" I cut her off with my lips on hers.
It was slow and passionate, and long. Real long. She didn't kiss back at first but once she realized that I was kissing her she gave in. She looked a little shocked once I pulled away.
"Well, what was that for?" She asks.
"Oh, not much. But, I will say, I have been waiting for the day that you tell me what you just did." She still looks shocked and she's bright red. "Oh, and by the way. You're bright red." I say with a little laugh
She just hides her face. "No, I am not."
I tilt her head back up using my finger. "Yes you are." I say getting closer to her lips.
"Shut up." She says in a playful manner.
"You gonna make me?" I ask.
"I just might." She says right before she smashes her lips onto mine, pushing me back onto the bed.
It was slow at first but got heated real quick. Until my mom walks in...
"Hey Ali, you wanna stay for- Oh. I see your conversation went well." She says.
"Wait, she knew?" I say, looking at Ali.
"Yea, well, I just told her. I mean, I had to ask her opinion." She says, acting innocent.
"Oh, you're too cute." I say before leaning back in.
"So, I take that as a yes to the dinner thing?" I just look at her and nod.
ALISON'S POV
After dinner me and Em decided to just watch some movies, Disney of course.
"Em?" I say
"Yes, sweetheart?" She answers. God I love it when she calls me sweetheart
"Will you be my girlfriend?" I ask looking at my hands, which were entangled with hers.
"Ali... look at me. Please." She asks. I look up at her. "Ahah there are those beautiful eyes."
"What a-"She cut me off with a finger on my mouth.
"I would love to be your girlfriend, Ali"
If you ever have suggestions they would be greatly appreciated. I have a couple pre-written chapters, but i would definitely take them into consideration :)
