Master Plan

Chapter 3 - Emily's POV

I'm seating in my car, outside of Hanna's house. I'm picking her up for our date. I have been outside for about thirty minutes. I know I need to go into Hanna's house soon, but I just can't.

I can't stop crying. I can't stop feeling this way. Broken and disappointed. You see, Alison invited Spencer, Aria and me to her birthday dinner. Alison's birthday is tomorrow as we will travel to New York, she decided to celebrate it the day before. Alison was reluctant to invite Hanna to her Birthday dinner. I just couldn't understand why she was acting this way.

For the past three weeks, Hanna and I have become close. You could say that we had the perfect relationship. But, it didn't feel perfect, it felt far from it.

Every date we had, all I could think about was how Hanna is not Alison. In the beginning, it felt good to be with Hanna; it was like a breath of fresh air. After one week, it just broke my heart even more. Why couldn't Alison feel like this? Why couldn't Alison ask me on a date? Oh yeah! Because she does not have feelings for me. I'm just her practice doll.

Now, I know anyone on her right mind; will not try to get over her best friend with another best friend. I know I could try to find someone outside of our group to try and get over Alison. I know if this ends wrong; there are five people that may get hurt.

So, before you start asking me why I'm doing this to Hanna. You need to understand I'm doing this for Hanna. (Wait, how I'm talking to? God, I'm going crazy) for her happiness, I may be doomed to live a life of sorrow. But, Hanna deserves better and if I can give her the happy ending she deserves, I will give it to her.

Know you may ask, what about my happy ending? Well, that belongs to the one and only Alison DiLaurentis. Saying her name makes me remember the conversation I had not long ago in her house.

Flashback

I knock on the DiLaurentis residency. Mr. DiLaurentis opens the door, with a grand smile.

Kenneth: "Hi Emily. Where have you been?"

E: "Hi, Mr. D, I just been busy with school and everything."

Kenneth: "Really, nothing new?"

E: "Well, I may have a new girl that I have been spending time with."

At that moment, I could see Mr. DiLaurentis clash his jaw. Wait, what did I say? What did you do?

Kenneth: "A girl? Emily...aren't you dating Alison?"

I could feel my face turn as bright as a stop light. He thinks me and Alison are dating? What? Wait? I'm so confused.

E: "Ehm, No Sr. Not at all. I wouldn't even dare to look at another girl if I was dating Alison. But, no Sr. she just thinks of me as a friend and so do I."

Kenneth: "Well, that is a shame." He says with a sight. A shame why is it a shame? Would he approved or me and Alison. Would he allow me to watch sports with him? Would he like my kids to call him Poppy? Stop Emily stop, Alison would never think of you that way.

Before, I could continue Mrs. DiLaurentis, comes to the foyer.

Jessica: "Hi Emily, glad that you are here. I'm glad you made it. And if I may say you look very lovely today."

E: "Thank you, Mrs. D. Is Alison in her room?"

Jessica: "Yes, she is, go right up."

E: "Thank you."

Jessica: "Are you all set to go to dinner?"

E: "Actually, I need to discuss something with Alison first."
