Reliving life

Chapter 10

It wasn't until I had gotten home from Spencer's around noon that I realised Alison still had my jacket. I'd been so mesmerised by the kiss that I couldn't get the words out to stop her walking away let alone notice she had still been wearing it. I mean at least that gives me a reason to go and see her right?

I decided to go and shower and get myself into clean clothes before I left the house. I let the warm water run over me for what seemed like hours before I finally dragged myself out. Wrapping a towel around my body I walked out of the bathroom and into my bedroom and gasped loudly at the sight before me. Alison was stood there holding my jacket and I hadn't expected to see anyone in my bedroom let alone her. She was wearing denim shorts that showed off her legs perfectly and a yellow crop top that left little to the imagination. She watched me without saying a word as my eyes wandered from the bottom to the top of her body. My eyes fell on to hers and I let out a breath I didn't even realise I was holding. She was stunning.

"Like what you see" she asked me with that infamous smirk upon her face.

"I... uhh" the words wouldn't come out of my mouth as my eyes had dropped back down her body again.

"I came to return this to you" she said as she held the jacket out to me.

I took it from her and threw it on the bed without ever taking my eyes off of her. I was in some sort of trance which she seemed to be taking pleasure out of seeing. The smirk on her face replaced but what I could tell was a genuine smile. She walked closer to me and put her arms around my neck before pulling me in for a deep and passionate kiss. Our tongues melding together as I put one hand on her waist pulling her in close and the other on the back of her head gripping tightly in her hair.

"What the actual fuck?!" I heard from my doorway.

I broke away from Alison so quickly she almost fell over backwards. Trying to get my breathing under control I looked towards Hanna who was stood in the doorway with wide eyes and her mouth hanging open. Before anyone could say another word Alison pushed past Hanna and ran down the stairs before slamming the front door shut.

"How did you get in?" I asked her incredulously.

"Spare key but never mind that. I'll say it again... What. The. Actual. Fuck." Her head kept turning from me to the front of the house and back again. In the heat of the moment I'd even forgotten that I still had a towel wrapped around my body. Grabbing my clothes and avoiding Hanna's question I walked back into my bathroom to get changed.

"I'm not leaving until you answer me young lady!" Hanna shouted through the door.

I sighed before psyching myself up for what I was about to face. I took a deep breath and opened the door to face Hanna and her questions.

----------

After spending an hour explaining to Hanna what had happened between me and Alison over the last month we were now sat watching a movie downstairs.

"It was hot though. Seeing you two with your tongues down each other's throats" Hanna exclaimed with a smirk.

"Shut up!" I said as I hit her with a pillow.

She held her hands up in defence but the smirk didn't leave her face and I just groaned before putting my head in my hands.

"So what are you going to do about it?" She questioned.

"What is there to do? She leaves almost as quickly as it starts. I don't even know if she likes me"

"Of course she likes you. You don't stick your tongue in someone's mouth unless you like them!"

"I dunno though Han..."

"Just be careful though Em, she's queen bitch Alison and I don't want you to get hurt." She cut me off.

I lay down on the sofa with my head in her lap and she played with my hair as we continued to watch the movie. Hanna was my best friend and I knew she had my best interests at heart. All I could think about was if Alison really did like me and I had no idea how to find out without going and asking her straight out.

It had been two weeks since Hanna had caught me and Alison kissing. Two weeks that Alison had acted like I didn't even exist. She didn't talk to me, she didn't even look at me. Hanna hadn't spoken to me about Alison in several days after I snapped at her when she had brought her up the last time. I felt myself being angry with Alison all the time, if I saw her I would clench my hands into fists and have to leave the area so that I could calm down. How could one girl have such a positive and negative effect on me?

The school's Halloween party was coming up in the next couple of weeks and I really wasn't in the mood for it. However Spencer, Aria and Hanna were forcing me to go so that I would get out of the house for once. I had been keeping to myself recently and I knew it was wrong to push my friends away when they were only trying to help me. They had all decided on their outfits but I hadn't even given it a thought. If I left it much later then all the good costumes would be sold out and I'd end up having to put on a white sheet and go as a ghost. I decided that I would go into town this upcoming weekend and try and find something to wear to the party.
