Master Plan

Chapter 3 - Alison's POV

Three more weeks had gone by and I felt as if Emily was slipping out of my fingers. Just as she was slipping away, I felt my sanity slip as well. I didn't want to eat, I couldn't sleep and I was a bigger bitch that I have ever been.

I felt as if I was locked in a dark cell, all due to one Hanna Marin. I don't know what's her deal with Emily? I just know they are being very secretive. Several scenarios run in my mind. Maybe she wanted her for herself, but that was preposterous. Hanna is not gay, and Emily said very clearly that she did not have a feeling for her. Maybe Hanna got her a girl and Hanna was covering for her.

I don't know what's the deal; I just know I feel as if I have lost my mermaid. I implemented my plan and that was to shout out Hanna completely. Emily... I tried to spend as much time as I could with her.

I take a deep sight...needless to say, my plan did not work. Emily and I spent our time-fighting. And then it was the other problem, my damn birthday dinner. I didn't want Hanna there taken Emily's attention. Emily was hell-bent on Hanna there. This was the final decision; it was either Hanna or me.

I hear Emily talking to my mom and my dad. They really have the best relationship ever. I know they love her like a daughter. My mom can't stop talking about her and my dad is always telling me how he likes how protective she is of me.

I scoff, she was protective of me, and she cared for me, now I feel as if I'm no longer important to her. I'm so mad at her, my blood boils every time I think of her. I feel so much rage, but being completely honest, I'm mad at myself. I hate me for not being brave enough, for not being strong enough to fight for my mermaid. However, all I can think is how much I could lose.

Even if I am mad at myself or at Emily or at Hanna. I still want to look good for her. I know her favorite color is blue because it remains her of my blue eyes. But it is also, Hanna's eyes colors, ugh.

A week ago, I went dress shopping with Aria and Spencer and I found this blue dress, that I just hope will be to the taste of my mermaid. I hear Emily's footsteps getting closer and closer and I put the finishing touches on my makeup, making sure that I'm flawless for her. This is my 18th Birthday and Emily and I have been planning it for so long. I knew she couldn't leave me on this day.

She comes into my room and she just freezes, for a moment I see her go weak, but, a flash goes on her eyes and it changes, she seems guarded, far from me. I need to pull her back in.

Al: "Hi Em. How do I look?"

E: "You look good Alison."

Al: "Just good? Well, I think you look great." I knew I was losing her, she seems distant as if the flame she had for me was extinct, did she finally realize the monster I am.

Al: "Ready to go? Where is my present?" in all honesty, I don't care for presents, I just want her to be back to that controllable girl that I can manage. I know that is sick and petty and low; however, that is the only way she will love someone like me.

E: "In regard to your present, is on its way. And before we go, I need you to do something for me, Alison." She could ask for the moon, and I wish I could give it to her. But, I just now I can't.

Al: "Sure, Em, what do you need." I brace myself for what she is going to say.

E: "I need you to call Hanna and invite her to your dinner." Hanna...Hanna all she can think about is Hanna. I feel so angry. I'm raging with emotions. This is it. It is time for her to make a decision. A part of me feels as if she is giving me an ultimatum.
