Friends Forever

Making Amends

Alison's POV:
I woke up in Emily's arms and remembered the night before. We talked for hours, and it felt really good. I missed that about her. I feel so bad for how I treated her and everyone else. I decided to make everyone breakfast this morning. I carefully untangled from Emily and walked down stairs. Everyone else was still asleep, so I tried to stay quiet as I made them food. As I finished and set the table, I began to clean up. Then Hanna walked into the kitchen.

Hanna: "Breakfast? Wow. The Alison Dilaurentis making breakfast." She chuckled.

Alison: "Yes, I made breakfast. Can you please go wake up the others?"

Hanna nodded and went to wake them up. I walked upstairs to wake up Emily. When I reached the bedroom door I froze. She was talking to someone.

Emily: "No. No. She's changed. She promised me. I don't know, I believe her. Because, I think someone opened her eyes. Whatever Maya, I have to go. Bye."

Were they talking about me? Wait, Ali, they weren't. Not everything is about you. Before I could make a move, the door opened to a half awake and upset Emily.

Emily: "Hey..uh...ugh. Okay. How much did you hear?"

Alison: "Honestly, all of it."

Emily: "Ali I-"

Alison: "No, don't. It's okay. Not everyone is going to love me. And that's okay. If I were them, I'd hate me too." I put my head down.

Emily: "Hey, I don't hate you. Remember that." She lifted my head up to face her. We were just staring into each others eyes.

Alison: "Oh, uhm I made you breakfast. Well I made everyone breakfast." Emily smiled at me and we walked down to the kitchen.

When we got to the kitchen everyone was up and eating. Emily and I joined them. We talked and laughed, I missed them so much. I never realised how much my mood affected theirs. I love them dearly. But still, something felt really wrong...

Emily's POV:
Alison was being very nice and I really loved it. Before we walked down to eat, we had a moment. I don't know if it was a special moment, but it was to me. I almost kissed her. But I still think she is using me in that way. So, I need to be careful. I told the girls I had to go. I was meeting Maya for a date we had planned. I wasn't fully excited about it, because we argued earlier. After getting ready and thinking of ways I could get out of going to my date with Maya, I got in my car and drove to meet her at the Apple Rose Grille. I pulled up to the Grille and saw Maya waiting for me. She looked a little impatient with something. I hope it's not me, I'm on time. I walked in and she stood up to hug me, and I hugged her back. We both sat down and it was kind of awkward. We didn't say anything to each other. We just sat there, then our waiter came and handed us our menus. Before she left, she asked what we wanted to drink. I ordered a water with lemon and Maya ordered an ice tea. That was the only time we really talked. The waiter left and got us our drinks, as we still looked at the menu. When she came back, she lightly placed our drinks down on the table and sweetly asked if we were ready to order.

Emily: "I'm ready."

Waiter: "What about you miss?"

Maya: "Yea. I'll have the steak, rare, with mashed potatoes and corn."

Waiter: "Great, would you like gravy with the potatoes?"

Maya: "Yeah." She said then rolled her eyes. I didn't like this Maya. She's mean.

Waiter: "Okay. And what about you sweetheart?"

Emily: "I will just have a Chinese chicken salad."
