Emison: (COMPLETED) Who do you want to take there?

Chapter 24: Now or Never ⏳

Paige leaves and Alison closes the door behind her. She sinks back down into the sofa and sighs after that long conversation which has left her emotionally drained. She reaches for her phone and calls the only person who could possibly cheer her up at this point...

Emily.

As the phone is ringing she hears the front door creak open and assumes it's one of her family members.

"Mom? Dad, Jason?" "Is that you?"
"Wtf who are y'all? What are you doing in my house!"
As Emily picks up the phone to answer she can hear Alison screaming for help on the other end of the line.

"ALI?? "Alison are you there!? HELLO!!?"

She hangs up and doesn't even bother calling the police because she'd able to run there faster than they could drive.
She grabs her shoes and goes into superwoman mode and sprints over to Ali's house which was about 5 minutes away on foot but the way Emily was running she made it in 3.
She bursts in the house and grabs the sharpest weapons around.
A spatula and a candle stick.

Emily turns the corner and sees Alison laying on the floor and she's doubled over in pain holding her stomach. Theres no blood but Emily lifts up Ali's shirt and sees its bruised like someone punched or kicked her, but Nobody is in the house when she arrives so they must've scattered.

"Ali, who did this to you!? Who hurt you!!?"
Emily screams and starts to cry. Alison looks up to Emily still in excruciating pain and wipes away Emily's tears off of her cheeks.

"Ali, I'm gonna call an ambulance okay?"
"No! Please don't." Alison objects.

Emily: But why? You can barely move.

Alison: Because I don't want you to get involved again.
I don't want them to hurt you too..

"Ali." Emily says sternly looking into Alison's eyes.
"I'm not gonna ask you again...
who. did. this. to. you."

Alison: I-I don't know. There was like 5 of them all wearing dark clothing. And hoodies..it just happened so fast. I honestly don't know who they were Em. I-I swear.

Emily looks into Alison's eyes and they were the sincerest they've ever been in her entire life. She really didn't know who these people were, but they must've been watching Ali for quite sometime and have had to plan this.

"Em? Can we please go back to yours before my parents get home..I don't even want them to know about this."

Emily nods then helps Ali get up off of the floor. She calls an Uber since she ran all the way to Alison's and they head over to Emily's place. Once they get home Emily's mother asks one hundred and one questions about what happened but Emily says Ali needs to rest.
She answers a few then they head up to her room where Alison can lie down.
She gets her some tea and some pain medication and after about a while, she starts to feel better and is ready to talk. Emily sits at the edge of her bed patiently waiting for her blonde to begin the conversation..

"Em?" Ali catches Emily's gaze and her heart flutters a bit.
"Yes Ali?"
Emily's eyes flicker innocently.

"I've honestly been dying to ask, what were you planning on doing with that spatula and candlestick?"

They both begin dying of laughter and good vibes fill the room. It felt so good to have a hardy laugh after everything that took place that day.
Nobody ever seems to catch a break in Rosewood.

Emily: I don't know, ha.
And I don't know why I thought I had to protect you...
You're one of the strongest women I know.

Alison: Youve always protected me Em...
Ever since I met you, I knew I could count on you.

Emily: So..why'd you always push me away?

Alison's eyes begin to dart around the room for a change. She begins to have this internal battle within herself, as she's debating on revealing her true feelings to Emily, once and for all..but if she does, there's no turning back.
She decides it's show time.
Now or never.

Alison: I don't know...but, I'm ready to stop.

Emily's eyes search Ali's deep blue ones for confirmation.
It's all there and then some.

Alison: I...I wanna do this. Together...

Emily: Wha..what do you mean together?

Emily's mouth hangs slightly gaped and she tries to pinch herself to confirm that she's not dreaming.
No babe, this is happening. Real life.

Alison: I mean you & me.. together together.

Emily: Alison... I need to be clea--

Alison sits up so she can share this on a more personal level with Emily.

Alison: "Over the years, I've been in so many failed relationships, and I always made excuses why.
But I know the reason..
Paige tried to get me to say it, but I didn't want to say it to her....

Emily: What did Paig-

"I love you."
Ali interrupts as her eyes flicker between Emily's lips and brown orbs.

Then she continues..

"You told me not to do this until I was ready.."

Alison then softly takes her fingers and brushes Emily's hair back behind ear.
Her breath becomes hitched at Alison's soft touch.

"Do..what?" Emily says innocently.
So sweetly.
Emily's innocence always drove Ali insane. Her innocence was so genuine.
It took everything in Alison not to attack Emily's lips with every fiber in her being.

"This.."

She leans in and places a sweet kiss on Emily's lips. Soft at first then becoming more intense as the seconds pass.
Emily kisses Alison back shyly then submissively opens her mouth to allow Alison's tounge entrance. Both girls slowly started to lean back onto the bed, gently since Alison was still sore, neither one breaking the kiss.
But after a moment they had to depart so they could come up for air.

Emily's eyes swell with tears as she looks into Alison's eyes and all she can see is vulnerability and trust. She kisses Alison's forehead and speaks into it.

"I love you more Alison."
