EMISON: The Morning After 1x02

Brew

Alison 

It's freakin Monday, I don't wanna get out of bed, I just wanna stay cuddled with Em. I reached for her on her side of the bed only to find she's not there. I quickly scanned the room.

"Em" I called.

"I'm in the shower. I'll be out in a minute" She answered from the bathroom. Water started running. I grabbed my phone to check if dad left a message. I have one message but from an unknown number *SHIT* *could this be A??* i felt my fingers shaking.

" GOOD MORNING ALI, I'll see you at school. - Noel"

*How did he get my fucking number*.  I can feel the color leaving my face.

"Hey,you okay? You look pale. Are you sick??" I didnt even notice Em coming out of the shower. She placed  her hand on my forehead.

"I'm okay, just a little hungry,maybe!"  *i feel so disgusted with myself everytime I lie to Em*

"Let's drop by The Brew and grab some breakfast,okay? Go, take a shower!"  She kissed my lips. I can't help but smile. I'm not used to receiving orders from anyone, I make them,but with Em it's just impulse to obey.

I hurried to the bathroom.

We parked outside The Brew. Em and I went in holding hands. I sat on our favorite spot while Em ordered, when I felt someone standing behind me and kissed my head.

"Hey, Ali! Did you miss me??" Noel sat on the chair in front me

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" I asked almost shouting, I looked at Em.

"What?? I just wanted to greet you good morning!" He grabbed my hand and winked at me.

"Don't you dare come near me  again, understand???" I prepared to stand up when he grabbed my arm and dragged me to sit.

"Why?? Are you afraid your "girlfriend" finds out about what happened to us, huh,  babe??" he looked at Em and back at me.

"Leave Em out of this, do it now, while I'm still asking you nicely, you won't like me when I'm angry" I tried my best not to show any signs of fear.

"What are you going to do Ali??? You are nothing but a weak girl hiding behind your friends back, you can't do anything without their help." he grabbed my arm harder.

"Let go of me or I swear to God I'm gonna scream, get the fuck out of here Noel, I'm not afraid of you, don't you dare talk to me again." I pulled my arm free from his grip. *i need to shut him up* *i need to shut him up* *stop it Ali, you are not going to do anything*. Noel stood up grinning, and left the coffee shop. I tried to catch my breath. *I have to do something*

"Hey, was that Noel talking to you? Em handed me my coffee and croissants. "What does he want?"

"Nothing, he just asked if Im feeling better now, I cried a little in his car and stuff"  I faked a smile. "Let's go, we don't wanna be late. I grabbed her from the waist. *Everything will be okay Em, I promise* I'll make this work, I swear on someone's grave!*
