A Wish Upon A Star (Emison)

Reunion

Alison POV

"BECAUSE I'M EMILY!"

The air thickens in the atmosphere and I stare at the boy, the gun still aimed at his head while I shake mine, "you're lying. That's impossible."

He shakes his head, the tears flying freely down his cheeks, "I'm not lying. Alison it's the truth." He steps closer but I grunt, "STEP BACK!"

He jumps back, his hands held above his head as he cries out, "Alison please! Just look at me! Really, really, look at me!"

I stare him up and down and cry out, shaking my head, "no. I don't believe you. That's not possible!" "Alison but it is! It was a stupid wish! Alison please! I made a wish and woke up...like this. You have to believe me. I'm Emily Fields."

I sob and wipe my eyes, "if you're Emily. Prove it. What's something only Emily would know." I keep my now shaky stance, gun still up as he wipes his eyes, "b-back here. We had our first kiss. Together. Everyone was in the pond but you were here. With me. And we kissed. Then, you sprayed our initials on the rock and called it our 'historical landmark'. Ever since then it's been our spot."

My heart cracks at the memory that the boy is telling me. But no, that was easy. What if Emily told?

"Anyone could know that. Emily could've told-" "I didn't tell. I swear. O-okay. How about when you were planning our trip to Paris. You said that I would look so good on top of the Eiffel Tower. Wind in my hair. I asked how long we would go away for and you responded with-" "how about forever," we both finish off and I stare at Ethan in shock.

I hear a twig snap and my head flies to the right, seeing Spencer, Aria and Hanna watching with tears in their eyes.

My body almost collapses to the ground but I stand as steady as I possibly could. "E-Emily?" I whimper and he stares at me, making my heart ache even more as I feel my chin quiver.

"O-one more thing..."

He gulps down a lump in his throat and nods, "of course...I-I uh...last year. After yet another guy broke your heart. I knew something was wrong so I went to your house to make sure you were okay and that was the day you told me what you do to help your pain."

My mouth goes dry as he walks over, slowly and hesitantly.

"Don't," I whisper and he gently lowers the gun, "you were doing this." He pushes up my sleeve and shows me my scars on my wrist. The skin on my wrist shoots tingles up my spine and I shut my eyes, picturing my Emily holding me.

I let out a loud, painful sob as I stare up at him. Only I don't see Ethan Sky anymore. I see through it. I see my best friend.

The person who means the world to me.

The person who I can't get my mind off of.

The person I am in love with.

I see Emily Fields.

"Emily?" I sob out and he nods, "it's me Als. I promise."

My heart bursts when I leap into his arms, hugging him tightly, feeling Emily's now manly arms wrap around me safely. I cry into his shoulder and he cries into me.

"I missed you so much," I whisper and he nods, "you have no idea."

I pull away and cup Ethan's cheeks, sniffling, "what happened to you?"

He shakes his head, "it sounds insane but...I was sick and tired of those guys always hurting you but for some reason you liked them still. So I made a wish when I saw a stupid shooting star. I wished for me to be more like them. I wanted to show you better. I wanted you to see that there is better for you Alison DiLaurentis, because you, deserve the world."

I stare into the green eyes, desperate to have the brown ones back but as long as I have Emily, I am happy.

Then I look down, realizing something, my anger coming back. 

"You let me think you hated me."

He stares at me, his eyes widening, "what?"

I step closer to Emily and growl, "you made me suffer! I was empty without you and you let me feel that way for weeks!" He backs up now, "A-Als. I tried to help you b-but if I told you then you wouldn't believe me and it would be ruined."

"So you let me cry myself to sleep every night?! What kind of best friend does that Emily!" He shakes his head frantically, "Ali. I'm sorry. I fucked up. I was just scared. I wanted to protect you. I didn't mean to hurt you the way I did."

I grunt, shoving his chest, "you could've at least said goodbye you asshole!"

"I didn't know when it would happen! I woke up in a guy's body with a completely different life and name! I was scared and confused. I was trying to adjust. Alison please don't be upset."

I shake my head, "HOW CAN I NOT BE EMILY! I NEEDED YOU! I THOUGHT YOU ABANDONED ME! AND THE ENTIRE TIME YOU WERE RIGHT HERE!"

The sight of more tears from "Ethan's" eyes made my heart break even more. "I just...I wanted you to see me as more than a friend for once..."

I freeze in place and stare at him, my heart thumping loudly as I gulp, stuttering, "w-what?"

He sighs, walking closer to me, "why do you think we kissed that first time? Why do you think that I hate it when you're with Noel? Why do you think I am always single? It's because I'm in love with you Alison. Jesus I am so crazy for you and I have been ever since we met six years ago.  I made this stupid wish so that you'd finally want me the way that I want you." He sighs and looks at me hopelessly, "I love you Alison."

The girls are visible now and the girl trapped in a boy's body doesn't seem surprised, for her glances at them but keeps his eyes on me; his weak and green eyes filled with tears look exhausted and stare at me with such hopelessness that it breaks me.

I propel myself to close the space between us as I connect our lips. Emily's substitute body stumbles back with surprise but I can feel the hope within her soul grow as I pull away and stare into the eyes, seeing the green turn brown as I look deeper.

I see Emily.

My Emily.

My lips pull up into a smile as I cup both of his rough cheeks, "I love you too, Emily Fields."

"You do?" He inquires and I nod, "did, do, and always will."

He sniffles, "always?"

"And forever."

He smiles weakly, "but I'm a guy..." I shake my head and cup his cheeks again, smiling into those beautiful eyes.

"I don't care what you look like. You're still Emily in there. And I love Emily. Whether we find a way to turn you back or not, I'm here. And I promise you I'll never leave you."

He smiles at me and right then I feel like the happiest girl alive. 

The entire time, I had my Emily. 

She just looked different.

I have my Emily.

+++++++++++++++++

Well.

Will Emily come back as Emily?

What will happen next?

What do you want to happen next?

Will more stuff happen with CeCe? What's her and Hanna's story? 

Will Emison prevail? :)
