Beauty From Above (Emison)

Chapter 25: Sweet but Sour 2

Alison

"Ali...stop...stop! Get off me!" I tickle Emily because she doesn't want to buy me food. There's not much in the fridge."Ow shit Alison come on get the fuck off me!" She keeps laughing,trying to jiggle her way out even when we had hit the floor. I'm on top of her and she's on her belly on the floor. She tries to catch her car keys but I keep tickling her so she can't move.
Courtney got jumped because Emily is screaming loud and probably the whole neighbourhood would hate us. "For crying out loud just buy her freaking food if you don't wanna die." Courtney said with her hair all messed up and ugly. She got up from the loveseat and pulled me away from Emily and I only have this huge grin on my face. Emily tries to catch her breath,but she's too tired to even stand up.
"Listen to Courtney the good,good girl." Emily glares at me a 'fuck you' and I smile sweetly."I hate you so much." She shakes her head and fake smile,I give her the most annoying smile I could give and she rolls her eyes.
"Fine. But don't go cry on me when you see your money gone in your purse." She says and I change my Look to a disbelieve look. She smiles happily standing up and walks to the door,I sit speechless. "Did she really...?"
I ask clueless to Courtney but she shushes me. She helps me stand up but then I glance at her and to her hand holding my arm several times."Got a problem?"
"How can you touch me?" She lets go of my arm but I touch it to feel back if it's really my arm or just my mind playing with me."Okay,wanna know? That time when you tries to touch me,it took me seconds to hallucinate you to think that you're not actually touching me. It's just something playing with your mind and vision."
"Cool. Why else can you do?" I ask eager but she rolls her eyes and walk to the loveseat. I frown disappointed but walk to her anyway. I'm not giving up on my questions. I sit beside her really close and she gives me a cringe look."C'mon tell me more what you can do. I wanna know more about you."
"You know you should've done that with Emily." I wanted to speak but the words are yet to come. I'm speechless for a while so I figure out of what to say."Gimme a sec." I furrow my eyebrows but she punches my arm and I giggle.
"Alright fine. If I tell you this,tell me what you didn't tell me." I nod quickly and put my fist on my chin. "The whole thing about Cupid...we'll not a lie. But,what I mean actually is that me and Carlo are MatchMakers. It's like Cupid's job. But more. You?"
"Well. If I tell you,don't tell Em." She nods and I take a deep breath. I glance to her once and then look down on my intertwine fingers."I'm gonna break up with Emily-"
"Get the fuck outta here." I raise my eyebrows and shrug,but she still doesn't believe me. I'm not joking."You gotta be kidding me." I purse my lips and shake my head. She drops her mouth to the floor and I try not to look at her."Why?!"
"I don't want her to be with me because Jenna is out there looking for me. And everyday we both keep spending the day and night only at our house." "Wait don't you love that part?"
"Of course I do. I just don't like it. Like Emily said earlier. It does feel unpleasant and it's not healthy." She sighs and slams her back on the loveseat,giving up on me."I know you're really against this but I have to." "Then give me a good reason."
"Because...I feel like I don't deserve a person like her. She deserves more. " She drops her head to the back and groan,really disagreeing my reply."Don't you fucking get it you're the cure to her,Alison. And if you think of breaking up with her it's so not a good idea!"
"But What choice do I have? Jenna is onto me." "Onto you AND Emily." She corrected me and she does have a point. I can't let Jenna chase Emily around the world. "But still."
"What the hell Alison I thought you're a person that doesn't let what you love go just like that?!" She quickly stands up and face me,but I only give her a scared look."Look. I'm not trying to make you think it's a bad idea. It's a REALLY bad idea that gives a huge pain in the ass as a result!" I didn't say anything. I don't think I have to."That's my problem. The bad idea is the only idea I have."
"But there's hope,Alison. We can fix this together you don't have to buy a ticket to hell from Vivian to break up with Emily!" I look at her deep in her eyes,I think I'm losing myself."You love her,don't you?" She asks,I actually never seen a MatchMaker cry before. But I've always made people cry. Don't I?
"I don't. Anymore." Courtney closes her mouth and eyes,walking away. Just as when I heard the door creak,I saw a figure of Emily carrying food. With sad lemon eyes.
"Is it true? You don't love me?" I really wasn't expecting this. But I know I have to do it just to make Emily safe. It's a part of the plan.
"I don't." I say,every word came out of my mouth gored at my heart."I never were." She grips her hands,and I saw anger.p "If that's what you want,I'm done then." She says with a cracked voice and every of it drowns me. As if someone is there pulling me on my leg making me suffer.
"We're done. We're done,and I'm out." And by that she slams the door that made me jumped. I saw her eyes not even wanting to see my face anymore. I guess the plan worked.
"Em. Em wait!" Courtney tries to stop Emily from driving away but I only watch them from the porch. Emily drove away and Courtney turns around to me with a disappointed look. She walks back to me and while she passes me,she gives this even more hurt words that I'm starting to feel like fainting.
"Congratulations. You're finally isolated. I guess you're happy. Now that Vivian's work is done." I guess I do feel like puking and fainting. And I guess I did faint. Falling to the grown,just like how a leaf would go after it's being plucked off from the tree trunk. I feel like complete shit right now.
I hear Courtney calling my name and shaking me,but I can't even open my eyes.
