Love is Endless

Paralyzed

ALL RIGHTS GO TO MARLENE KING

I don't want normal and easy and simple. I want painful, difficult, devastating, life-changing, extraordinary love. - Olivia Pope

Chapter 6: Paralyzed

Alison's POV:

I woke up to the sound of people hovering over me.

"Ms. DiLaurentis, your friends are here to see you." I tilt my head slightly to the left and get a glims of the three girls huddled up at the corner of the room, smiling slightly at me.

The doctor leaves and my friends step closer. They better let me see Emily today, or I'll loose my mind.

"Ali, how are you feeling?"

"The doctors said you can go home today."

"Do you need anything? Water?"

The series of questions are overwhelming but one particularly sticks out, I can go home today! That means I can finally visit Emily and get out of these hideous hospital clothes.

"Send the doctor in, I want to go home, now." I tell them and Spencer walks out of the door and practically pushes the poor man into the room. He glares rudely at Spencer before straightening out his coat.

"Okay Ms. Dilaurentis, you are free to go but I'm putting you on minor bed rest, make sure you take care of yourself, understand?" I nod my head quickly, itching to get out of these sweaty clothes. Five minutes later I was out of my bed and I ran straight to the front desk.

"Where is Emily Fields located?" I pant out, looking around the room quickly.

The old lady at the desk slowly opens her folder, taking good time searching for Emily's file. I start getting impatient, tapping my foot loudly on the floor.

"Room 201." The lady announces and I bolt up the stairs with my friends catching up to me.

When I finally get close to the room I take a deep breath before rushing in but the sight makes my heart break all over again. Emily is lying in the middle of the room, hooked up to all kinds of machines. The steady beat from the heart monitor echoes in my head, making me dizzy. I walk closer to get a better look at Emily. She looks like a mess, she has a broken arm, bruises covering most of her fragile body plus she's in a fucking coma. My breath hitches in my throat and I start breathing unevenly.

The girls rush in and starts trying to calm me down. Spencer grabs my shoulder pulling me back gently but I shake her hand off and grab Emily's hand tightly, leaning down so that I'm crying hysterically into her chest. After a good couple of minutes of endless sobbing I look up at the girls and their eyes are wide open in surprise, I guess they didn't think I'd be this affected of Emily being in a coma. I wipe away a few tears and turn my attention back towards Emily.

"Em, Emily please." I plead out, gently stroking the sides of her face over and over again. I hope she can hear me and understand how sorry I am.

"Emily this is all my fault. A warned me, I should have stayed away, I hate myself for doing this to you!" I yell out, tears streaming freely down my face. I burry my head into the crock of her neck, letting my tears run down the side of her neck.

"Wait, A did this?" Aria asks with tears in her eyes, covering her mouth with her hand in disbelief. I can't bear to answer them so I just nod before ducking my head in shame into the crock of Emily's neck again.

"What do you mean this is all your fault?" Hanna snaps, crossing her arms across her chest, "Ali, what did you do?"

Fuck. I have to tell them now, I can't lie anymore, I don't have the energy to lie anymore. I've done enough of that already. I turn around facing them, immediately missing Emily's cold skin. You can practically hear my heart beat from a mile away.

"i- I." Just say it. Just say it.

"You what?" Hanna asks, annoyed.

"I love Emily." I mutter looking down at my hands.

"We all love Emily, that's why we're here." Aria said, rolling her eyes.

I shake my head, here it goes. "No, I'm in love with Emily." I whisper out. This is the first time I've ever said it out loud, and it feet wickedly horrifying, yet pleasantly delightful at the same time.

A whole minute goes by without anyone saying anything, I guess that would be expected, who would have thought that the Alison DiLaurentis was- whatever I am.

"You lov-" Spencer said, trying to process the information.

"Yes Spencer, I love her!" I snap.

"I never though you were gay." Hanna muttered.

"I'm not gay." I snap back. The others stare at me with raised eyebrows.

"I'm not gay," I repeat, looking back at Emily's bruised up face, "I only love Emily. Emily is the only exception."

The room fills with silence and I can feel the girls glares bore into my back as I stare down into Emily's closed eyes.

"Emily, please wake up." I plead, my voice breaking.

"Please, please Emily wake up, I will never forgive myself for doing this to you. I don't care if you hate me I just need you to be alright. I know you're stronger than this so don't you dare give up Emily Fields." I bend over her and place a delicate kiss on her forehead.

"What did you do." Spencer demands.

"A told me that if I wanted to keep Emily safe I had to stay away, but the thought completely slipped my mind when I finally admitted that I love her so when I kisse-"

"We don't need those details." Hanna interrupts.

I glare at her before continuing. "Then seconds after I kissed her a car hit us, A's car."

"And you're sure that it was A?" Aria questioned.

"Do we even have to ask that? Of course it was A." Spencer said throwing her arms up in the air.

After one hour of talking the girls left but I convinced them that I wanted to stay.

"Emily, if you can hear me please give me a sign. Move your finger, squeeze my hand or open your eyes. I need you Em, more than anything." I whisper before falling into a dreamless sleep in the uncomfortable metal chair.

Emily's POV:

"I need you Em, more than anything." Those words ran through my brain as I tried to connect them to whoever they belonged to. Alison. The memories from that night came rushing back and I felt like screaming. I wanted to move but I couldn't, I couldn't even move a finger. I was paralyzed.

All I could do was listen to the heart breaking sobs coming from the people I love and it kills me. After awhile Ali's sobs quietly turn into heavy breathing, she must be asleep. I let myself drift away until I hear her voice again.

Alison's POV:

I awoke to the sound of my phone going off next to Emily. Looking over at her body makes me frown, I was hoping this was all some crazy nightmare I was having. I reach over and grab my phone, silently praying that's from anyone but A. I can't handle more shit from that freak.

But hope breads eternal misery.

Emily got lucky this time but next time you won't. - A

I through my phone across the room, mentally cursing to myself when it crashed into the wall. Why can't this bitch just disappear. I sat back down on the uncomfortable chair and let my eyes move back to Emily's motionless, yet angelic, face.

Just another day in paradise.
