love on the brain

Emily's POV

I woke up from sunlight blaring in my face. I rolled over to an empty bed. I sighed sitting up, realizing Alison wasn't in bed holding me like I wished she was.

I turned to the nightstand noticing the sticky note left on it, nearby the clock.

*I have to go to work today. If you need anything call me, but don't leave the house until I get there*

I can imagine her voice demanding me not to go anywhere. I removed the covers off of me walking to the bathroom.

After brushing my teeth and washing my face, I decided it was time for me to go outside the room.

I made my way down the stairs, walking past the living room and into the kitchen.

"Good Morning Miss Fields", Ally said with a greeting smile.
I smiled back, "Morning Ally. How are you?", I asked her.

She looked up, and blushed.
"I'm doing okay. I would hope you are as well", she says turning on the water.

"I am"

Was I? I mean if told myself I was enough times then maybe just maybe I would finally be okay.

"What would you like for breakfast?" She asked making conversation.

"What ever your having", I say.
She looks up at me with a blank look on her face, "I-Im not allowed to have breakfast", she tells me.

I frown, "what do you mean your not allowed too?", I asked her wanting her to explain herself.

"Miss Dilaurentis doesn't th— I cut her off, looking around, "is Miss Dilaurentis here right now?", I asked her.

She smiles shaking her head.
"How about we make a deal"

"A deal? Miss Fields I don't think that's a good idea. What if Miss Dilaurentis finds out?" She asks very concerned.

Was she and everyone else who worked for Alison afraid of her or something? Like god.

"Leave Alison to me. Now stop worrying and just make yourself something to eat", I tell her going against Alison knowing if she was here she'd probably have a fit but I honestly didn't care.

"Thank you so much", she nods and smiles.
I smile back.

I really wasn't hungry. I was just bored. I needed something to do, specially if I was gonna stay in this damn house all day until Alison got here.

"Ally?", I asked catching her attention.
"Yes?", she responds.

"Is there anything fun around here to do?", I asked.

"There's a movie theater in the basement. Tennis & Basketball court outside, but it's snowing outside so I doubt you'll want to do that. Oh, there's a indoor pool near the gym", she tells me.

Pool.
Yes. Finally something to do so I can keep my mind off of Talia and Alison.

"Pool you say?", I asked her.
She nods. "Thank you", I responded quickly before walking over to Tyler.

"Good Morning Miss Fields"

"Hello, Tyler. Can you do me a favor and show me where the pool is"

"Of course. Just follow me", he tells me removing himself by the door.

I inhaled deeply after coming up from the water, I used my arms to move me towards the wall.

Swimming was like a remedy for me right now. I had so much on my mind, so much to ask, so much to say but I couldn't let it out. Everything was happening so fast, too fast for me to even keep up.
