Emily's POV

"YOU DID WHAT?!" Kimberly shouts at me as we are in a very quiet restaurant. I looked around to notice everyone looking at us.

"Keep your voice down would you", I say through my teeth. I didn't want any more attention being brought to me.

She rolls her eyes and continues to eat her burger, as I continue my pasta.

"So after all that you tell her that "I still need time to think" even after she confesses to you?", she asked as if I was lying if something.

"What?" I shrug at her. She glares at me.
"I do" I tell her before stuffing a fork full of pasta into my mouth.

"What is there to think about?"

"A lot. Okay"

"Like what?" She asks arching her eyebrows at me not believing anything I was saying.

"Like the fact that I don't even know if being her is what I want anymore. I mean at first sure, it was. But now... it's like I don't even know", I explain.

Even I wasn't believing the shit that was coming out of my mouth, so why would she.

"What more is there to think about? You love her. She seems like she loves you. Boom. There's your relationship. Go be with her"

I roll my eyes, "you make it sound like it's easy. Alison is a very complicated woman"

"Well it's not trigonometry so I'm sure you'll be fine", she says.

"The matter of the fact is I don't have to talk to Alison anytime soon, okay. She's giving me time to think", I snap.

"Whatever" she responds.

I was about to say something when I noticed the waitress walking towards our table. I slightly smiled as she approached us holding the bill.

"Is there anything else I can get you lady?" She asks.

Before I could answer her question I find myself looking at the television behind her that displayed a picture of Talia.

I swallowed hard, dropping my fork looking at the screen.

"Can you explain to me on your whereabouts about you went missing for a couple of weeks?" The reporter asked Talia.

I couldn't believe what my eyes was seeing. How is this even happening? Alison has her locked away.

Did she escape?
Oh my god. She had too. And now she's going to tell everyone she was kidnapped by Alison.

I stood up quickly alarming both the waitress and Kimberly.

"What are you looking at?" Kimberly asked before turning her head in the direction I was looking at.

"Oh god"

"I wasn't missing. I went away" the words out of Talia stated causing me to rethink everything.

"Investigators states that your New York apartment was broken into... how can you explain that?"

"It wasn't broken into. All that was my doing"

Kimberly stood up next to me, "I thought you said Alison kidnapped her" she whispers.

"She did"

I respond with my body frozen, still in shock. My eyes still haven't left the screen.

"I think your out of time to think" Kimberly tells me causing me to turn to her.

She motions towards the entrance of the restaurant which is behind me causing me to turn around.

There stood Alison who stood there with black shades covering her face, as she wore her normal dress shirt, and black slacks.
