High School Emison *One-shot Series*

Confession: Em's First Kiss Pt. 2

Emily walked up to her friends and sat down next to Aria. It's been two days since the girls took the quiz and Ali has been acting a little off. For one, she and Emily had a movie date but she stood the swimmer up. Emily had sat on the blonde's porch for three hours waiting on her to come home. Spencer finally talked her into coming to her house to eat something and Emily cried herself to sleep.

The next day Ali didn't show up to school and Emily called and texted her all day with no answer. Aria, Hanna and Spencer all shared a look before going back to eating. No one wanted to bring up the elephant in the room because they knew Emily would blow up if anyone said anything.

Emily looked... bad. And that says a lot because she was practically the most gorgeous girl in the whole town. The entire group is pretty but Emily's beauty, both inside and out, has a major platform thanks to her athletic accomplishments and her volunteer work. She's dressed in a red hoodie and black sweatpants and a white shirt. Black, red and white Nike's cover her feet and she's wearing the bracelet and necklace Ali gave her.

Her eyes were red and puffy as if she'd just barely managed to cry herself to sleep just to wake back up. Her nose is raw from all the crying she's done. All she wants is her Ali bear. Hanna couldn't take it anymore.

"Em," she started. "I know this sucks but please, you're going to make yourself sick."
Emily looked down as fresh tears fell from her eyes. "What did I do wrong?"
"It was my fault," sighed Hanna. "I should've never made us take that stupid quiz."
"Guys, come on," snapped Spencer. "Ali's being a bitch! For no freaking reason."
Aria spoke up as well. "Yeah. I mean, it's not like you cheated on her. You guys kissed like two years ago."
Emily sniffed. "Guys, I'm gonna go home. I don't feel so good."
Aria touched her arm. "Would you like us to come too?"
"No guys. There's no reason to miss class. I'll be okay."

The girls reluctantly watched their friend walk off. Hanna turned back to the group fuming.

"God! I could wring Ali's gorgeous little neck."
"Has anybody tried calling her again?"
Spencer shook her head. "Not since yesterday morning. I felt like Emily called enough for us all yesterday."
Hanna slapped the table. "Emily loves Ali so much. How could she just ignore her like this?"
"Guys, to be honest, we don't know how she's dealing with all this," reasoned Aria. "She's probably hurting too."
"Oh please. Me and Em kissed," snapped Hanna. "It's not like Emily cheated on her or we planned some devious scheme against her! I didn't even know her and Em would get together."
"Yeah Ar. This is a really shitty thing for Ali to do."

CeCe rubbed the blonde hair thrown across her lap. For the past two days, Ali had holed up in her room, refusing to talk to anybody. She didn't know what to think. She first thought Emily broke up with Ali but she knew Americano was crazy about the blonde. And if she'd had doubts, when a scary looking Emily walked up to her yesterday to ask if she'd seen Alison, she'd lied and told the girl no,

She wanted to ask what happened but also didn't want to push the young girl. So she figured she'd just be there for her until the blonde cracked. But she was getting tired of the crying spurts and angry outbursts. What concerned her even more was that she hadn't seen the girl eat since she'd came to her house.

"Ali..."
"Why does it hurt so bad?" asked a groggy Alison.
"Why does what hurt babe? What's happening?"
"Emily and Hanna..."
"What about... ok, Whoa!"
"Exactly..."
"I thought Hanna was with Caleb? She's gay too?"
"Apparently they got curious."
"But out of all the people, why..."
"That's the worst part!"
"Wow, Americano and Ali 2.0 smashed. I'm impressed."
"What NO! They didn't smash! Emily's still a virgin."
CeCe choked out a shocked laugh. "What?! Americano hasn't fucked yet?"
Ali blushed. "No. She hasn't."
"Wait, Ali... are you still...?"
"Yes. We promised to be each other's firsts."
"Oh my God! How cute and romantic! And sweetttt!"
"Shut up CeCe," Ali blushed.
"Soooo, Wait. You're this upset over a curiosity kiss... that happened way before you and Americano got together?"
"The kiss isn't the only thing bothering me."
"Okay, then what gives? Because from what I see, you are doing the most!"
"It's Hanna CeCe. The person Emily loves just as much as me. What... what if she decides she'd rather be with Hanna and... doesn't want me anymore?"
CeCe laughed. "You're kidding right?"
Ali scoffed and got out of her lap, folding her arms. "No! I'm dead fucking serious!"
"It's no secret to anyone in this fucking town how Emily feels about you! Me and your brother used to laugh at how pathetically Emily swooned after you. You'd say jump and Emily would practically leap," CeCe chuckled. "After a while, I got jealous. To have someone that devoted to you and invested in your happiness, that doesn't happen for everyone Ali."
"I just... Ive treated Emily so wrong at times. But Hanna has always been there to clean up my mess and they're so close..."
"Yeah, but unlike you, Hanna loves penis," she laughed when Ali punched her arm. "I mean come on Ali, Hanna is just as crazy about Caleb as Emily is for you. I just don't see those two walking away from either of you."

Ali thought about it and started to feel ridiculous about the whole thing. She blushed in embarrassment but CeCe pulled her close again.

"Hey, it's okay. Love makes us a little crazy at times. But Ali, that's when you pull your girl to the side and tell her what you feel. Running away and hiding is only hurting what you're trying to build. Hurting the one you love. Speaking of which, you better find a damn good way to make this up to Americano. She's been looking pretty rough."
Ali looked down in shame. "She called me 23 times yesterday and sent over 40 texts."
Cece's mouth dropped. "No fucking way! Let me see!"

Before Ali could react, CeCe snatched up her phone. Thankfully Ali was listening to music so the phone was still unlocked. She looked through the blonde's messages and sure enough, Emily poured her heart out to the girl without one response in return.

"God Ali," CeCe said. "This... this is horrible. How, could you not respond?"
"I didn't read them."
"Maybe you should," CeCe handed back her phone. "This is fucked up."

And for the first time, she read every single text that Emily left her. By the time she got through half of them, she was in tears and feeling sick.

"Oh no CeCe," she shrieked in panic. "What have I done?"
