You're my slave

Chapter 26

Alison hated it to leave Emily behind tonight to go to this party. She had promised her they had the whole week together, since her parents would be coming over next week and after that her busy work schedule would start.

Despite the fact that she didn't want to be disrespectful she also went because it was indeed a great opportunity to meet some colleagues. So that's the reason she's going, despite the freezing cold state she's now in while walking outside. Lucky enough she has arrived. Looking through the glass from the outside she sees a room full packed but not one recognizable face.

Not too formal. Yeah right..

She sees nothing else but man being dressed in suits, drinking either a scotch or champagne. There are only a few money, either the baristas or some she expect to be her co-workers.

She feels her phone vibrating in her hand, but before she can take a look at it she hears Harry's voice call out to her. "Alison, i'm glad you made it." He says in his English accent. "Thank you for inviting me."

"Of course, let me introduce you to some people." He says waving her over with the hand that isn't occupied with a drink.

Many greeting later and also a few drinks later Alison finally found the time to step aside and breath a little. Also taking the chance to get a good look around. Her eyes only turn to her phone when she feels it vibrating, again.

She didn't want to be rude and keep looking at her phone the whole time, so she choose to ignore the vibrating phone the past hour. But now that she sees the messages she wish she didn't.

From Emily:
Alison, can you call me back

From Emily:
Alison please

From Emily:
Ali I know you're at the party but I need your help.

From Emily:
Mackenzie is sick

From Emily:
Please I really don't know what to do

And many other messages follow but Alison knows enough, quickly she dials Emily's number. Who picked up immediately.

"Alison." She hears on the other line, following by a deep breath Emily released. "Em, is she okay?"

"No, it's getting worse. Her temperature is rising and she keeps crying. I'm on my way to the hospital." She overheard Emily say, even though Mackenzie's crying in the background doesn't help.

"Okay Emily in coming." Alison says already making her way out of the crowded space. Just before she hangs up she hears Emily call for her."Wait Ali! The hospital I'm allowed in is so far away."

"Go to mine, with my pass they'll help her." And Alison hopes that's true. From the moment there was no healthcare anymore, the hospitals were divided in two sectors. One sector, the largest with many hospitals in the area was for the ones who could pay. A hospital with the finest doctors and help for you available the second you walked in, of course after showing your pass.

The pass was only available for the healthier population, so Emily and many other people had to got to the second sector of the hospitals.

Before Emily would even arrive by a sector two hospital she would already pass five hospitals of sector one. So Alison hoped that luck was on their side and they would let her pass with Mackenzie.

"And then I want to welcome our new colleague, Alison Dilaurentis." Alison stops in her tracks to look up where the voice came from. A few feet away from her she sees Harry standing on a small stage, smiling at her. Cheering starts, as people gather around her.

________
Emily's pov

It has been one hour, one hour since I called her. Where's she at?

Doing a silent prayer that she's going to walk in right now, with that beautiful smile on her face telling everything's alright. More like telling the nurse who's now coming to me that everything's alright.

"Miss, you know how it goes here, we can't help you." The nurse says again, growing tired of my fight I'm putting up. But she knows I'm willing to tell it all over again. My girlfriend is going to come in here just any second, she has a pass. I don't even need medication tell me what I have to do with her. We can give you all the money you want, just please. And many other things but the nurse didn't listen. "If you don't leave now we'll have to call the police."
________

"Fuck," Alison says once she sees the missed phone calls from Emily,"fuck fuck fuck." She hisses slamming the top of her car in the process.

"Having trouble in paradise, sweetheart?" She hears a voice behind her. Quickly she turns around being met with an amused looking Harry. "Sorry?" She scoffs

"Your boyfriend calling?" He asks pointing at her phone, not giving attention to Alison's reaction. It makes a light red blush creep on her face. So she quickly looks down. "Uh no, no boyfriend."

"Ah single, I bet those men back there would love to hear that." He adds giving her a wink, this is the last thing she needs. Some co-workers hitting on her. Would Harry hit on her?

"Well not single either." Alison says hesitating, not only because their relationship should remain a secret, but also that after tonight she wouldn't blame Emily if she was single again.

Harry's eyes widen at Alison comment slapping her on her arm. "I knew I knew I knew, my gaydar is never wrong." He claims.

Wait does that mean? Harry is gay? Why don't I have a gaydar? Alison frowns. One that Harry must sense. "My boyfriend and I would like to welcome you guys over for dinner." He politely says, his excitement from a second ago was already gone. "I'll discuss it with her." Alison answers before she quickly gets in her car, a dinner is not her first priority right now.

The whole ride to the hospital Alison tried to reach to Emily but it was no use. Now, while walking in the long hallway of the hospital she tries once again, but she won't pick up her phone.

Walking around she seeks a  sight of Emily without any luck. It doesn't take long for a nurse to step forward to her, so Alison quickly takes out her pass. "What can I help you with?" The nurse asks nicely, roaming up Alison's body to see if there are any injuries.

"I'm searching for a woman with a child. Their names are Emily and Mackenzie." Alison quickly says. "Emily, a brunette?" The nurse asks bringing a smile to her face immediately. "Yes." Breaths out, glad that they let her in.

"They Uhm, they left like a hour ago. I'm sorry miss they weren't allowed, we thought she was lying." The mood sinks in Alison's shoes as she mentally scolds herself. She just looks at the time now.

23:48. Emily called her longer than two hours ago.

Without another word she turns around, storming to her car. Hoping to catch Emily at their apartment.
