EMISON: The Morning After 1x02

Is this really goodbye??

Emily

I saw Paige sitting at the bench near the science building, I gathered all the courage I have to talk to her. I've been thinking all day what I would say. I haven't talked to Ali about what happened.  I dont wanna confuse myself any further. I love Alison with everything I am, but everything that Paige said was true. I love Paige but I dont love her as much as I love Ali, she's been there for me for so long, I never wanted for her to get hurt and I just want to apologize to her since we didn't have a formal break up.

"Hey Paige, can I talk to you?" She nodded. So I sat down on the bench with her.

"Paige I'm sorry for what happened today. I dont have any excuse for what happened to us. I loved you. What we had was real. What Ali and I have right now, we didnt plan for it to happen, it just happened. I reached for her hand.

"Is there anything I can do to change your mind? I can make you see she's no good for you. She'll never love you like I do Em. You asked for space, I gave it to you. Give me a chance to prove to you that we belong to each other, Em, Please." Tears started falling from her eyes. She bowed her head. It hurts me to see Paige hurting.

"Paige, If we get back together I cant promise you that I'll be faithful. My heart belongs to Ali, I love her. Believe me she's changed. I wanna give her a chance. I wanna give US a chance. I cant continue to keep on hurting you. You mean so much to me. I want you to find your happiness." I cant hold back my tears anymore.

Paige breaks down. I can't find the right words to say to make her feel better. I know it won't. Not now. I pulled her into my arms and hugged her tight. I want her to know I still care for her. She wrapped her arms around me. We stayed this way for a few minutes. Its the only thing I can do for her now.

"EM!!!!!" I saw Aria, Spencer and Hanna, pointing in the opposite direction. I saw Ali running away, getting into Noel's car. I immediately stood up.

"Paige, I have to go, I'll get in touch with you, Sorry."

"What happened?" I asked the girls

" Ali saw you hugging Paige, we heard her asking Noel to give her a ride home. She seemed upset Em, you need to follow her." Hanna grabbed my hand.

"I stepped on the gas, hoping I'd catch Noel's car.  I arrived at Ali's place the exact moment she stepped out of the SUV. He immediately drove away. Ali has been crying. I felt my heart melt.

"Ali" I called her name...........
