A Wish Upon A Star (Emison)

Emily POV

"What are you doing here?"

I jump to my feet, turning around to see a very unhappy looking Alison.

"I uh...I just wanted to come here."

"And touch that?" She questions, pointing to the initials we painted on the rock.

I bite my lip and try to wriggle my way out of this. "It looked interesting."

Really, idiot? It looked interesting?

Alison stares at me, her face telling me that she's confused, upset and...angry?

"Yeah well. This spot is off limits," she shoots at me darkly. I open my mouth, then close it again, furrowing my eyebrows, confused as to why she was so upset.

She stares at me, then sighs, smiling, "I'm sorry I just...this spot is special. Emily and I would come here all the time when we just wanted to think, be alone, or talk. This is the spot where we had our..." she trails off, wiping at the tears spotting in her eyes.

"Had your what?" I whisper gently and she looks up at me, a look of disgust on her face that takes me aback.

"You would like to know that, wouldn't you?"

"W-what? Alison I-" "it's private. Only for Emily and I. No one else." I gulp, feeling uncomfortable all a sudden under her accusatory glare. "I didn't mean to overstep Als-" "don't call me that."

I widen my eyes, "but I always-" "I know. But nobody is allowed to call me that. Only Emily can."

I nod gently, "I'm sorry...I didn't know." I lie. Why all of a sudden is Alison defending me so much? She's getting angry over the smallest things.

Then, she sighs, "no. I'm sorry. I'm being rude. I just. I miss her is all. I'm really worried. I know she's in California but it just doesn't seem like her to not answer my calls or texts." I nod along, watching as she sits on the Kissing Rock, looking over the side, brushing her fingers along the initials.

"I'm sure that...she misses you too."

Her body tenses but she relaxes in a matter of seconds, "yeah."

I shift, wanting to tell her right here.

I promise I miss you. I'm right here Als. I miss you so much.

But I don't. I just walk away in silence, driving to my apartment.

Alison POV

Once Ethan leaves I stare out at the water through the trees, "don't worry Emmy. I'll get you back. I promise." I look down at my hands and see a tear fall onto my hand.

How could I have not seen this?

He knows my nickname. He had an extra phone and Emily won't answer my calls or texts. Once he comes to town, Emily just disappears. He was at the Kissing Rock, looking at mine and Emily's historical landmark. He knew that today was our 6 year Friendaversary...

He has Emily.

The boy I was falling so hard for has the one person I care the most about captive. I should've known that  he was too good to be true. He was too perfect. I love a monster.

He just had this perfect personality. I just fell in love with that personality...the one that is an exact replica of Emily Fields.

Oh my God.

He made me fall in love with him. He acted like Emily so that I'd love him!

Wow...

I love Emily Fields.
