Emily's POV

Present Time

"I can't do this, Alison", I say with tears in my eyes.
"She doesn't love you, like I do. She can't. Em, you know that", Alison argued.

"Tomorrow, I'm supposed to be getting married to the woman I love, and want to spend the rest of my life with", I said twisting the engagement ring my fiancé gave me.

"You and I both know that woman should be me", Alison said.

"B-but it isn't", I say.
She stood still, tears watering in her eyes.

I truly loved her.
But I loved me more.

Let me just start from the beginning.

Hi, my name is Emily fields. I'm currently 22. I am in a happy 6 year relationship with my girlfriend, or should I say fiancé.

She's the love of my life.

I live Rosewood, New York. I currently work at a firm, as a CEO assistant, answering calls, getting coffee, not to big, but not to small.

This is the story of how I screwed up my life. This is the story of how I fell in love with a confusing, complicated woman, how happens to be my next door neighbor.

Shall we get starter 8 months before any of the wreckage happened?

Let's go.

8 Months Earlier

"Beep", "Beep", "Beep"

The sound of my alarm clock went off for just about the second time. I groaned into my pillow, pressing the snooze button, just to fall asleep one last time.

"Oh, no you don't", the voice of my fiancé said before opening the blinds letting the awful bright light into our room.

"5 more minutes, please", I beg trying to fall back asleep.
"If you go to sleep, your going to be late", she told me.

"It's my first day. I'm sure I'll get a little slack", I said.

"Or they just might fire you before you even work, come on. Get up", she said before removing the covers off of me.

I groaned loudly before sitting up and stressing, "I know. Being an adult is so hard", she said.

I rolled my eyes, before getting up and going to the bathroom, "coffee is on counter, I gotta run. I love you", Talia said before kissing me on my cheek.

"Love you too", I said after turning on the shower water waiting for it to heat up.

I quickly grabbed my bag, coffee mug, as I was leaving my apartment, I closed and locked the door.

I walked down the hallway, pulling out my texting Talia, I was completely distracted not even looking, when my coffee fell out of my hand, falling to the ground.

It splashed everywhere.
"Shit", I say as it was hot and it got onto my leg pants, I slid my phone into my back pocket.

As footsteps approached, "god, are you okay?", a greeting, soft voice asked.

I looked up to see a pretty blonde with dark bluish eyes. "Uh.. yeah.", I said.

"Here, let me help", she said pulling out tissue from her side purse.
"Thanks", I say wiping off of my hands, as they once was wet as well.

I stood up meeting her height, she was at least a inch taller then me.

"I'm Alison. Alison Dilaurentis", she said putting her hand for me to shake.

"Thanks for the tissue. Alison", I say.
"You must be new in the building, I haven't seen anyone this pretty in here, in a while", she flirted also trying to make conversation.

I smiled, shaking away the blush that wanted to appear on my cheeks, "I am. Just moved in a couple of days ago", I said motioning that my apartment was right there.

"You live in 4b?", she asked flipping her golden blonde hair to the side.

"Yup. That's me", I said making conversation.

"We should you know... totally go out for coffee or something. In fact let me take you out for dinner. My treat", she offered basically asking me out.

"Sure. I'll bring my fiancé", I smirked walking past her.

"Wait, I didn't get your name", she said in distance.

"That's because I didn't give it too you", I said walking down the stairs, flirting.

I walked out of my apartment building, going towards my car, getting in and driving to work.

I didn't it know it then, but I should've just gotten the tissue, said thanks and left. Now, 8 months later, I have to make the biggest decision of my life. who did I love more. Talia or Alison.
