Wickedness Of A Child (Emison)

30

Two Hours Later

[E]

This day did not go as I planned. I guess I was wrong about Sarah being here as moral support. Turned out she came because she had feelings for me, something I wasn't aware of. I remember Spencer telling me that Sarah had a crush on me, but not more than that.

Her earlier outburst confirmed that when things don't go her way, she changes. I thought she was one of the very few people I could trust, but me being in love with someone else was all that was required to prove the opposite.

About an hour ago I entered the apartment and witnessed something that'll give me nightmares for the rest of my life. I don't dislike the fact that porn exists because we all need it every now and then, but when you catch your stepfather using it on high volume while stroking his member, you definitely lose your appetite.

I am still trying to get rid of the picture but it feels like it's haunting me. Sitting next to him and eat dinner will be a tough assignment in the future.

*BUZZ*

I reached across the bed to grab my phone and felt a huge relief as I noticed the caller's ID. I've been a little scared that the police might call me and give me bad news. They wanted me to do some tests earlier today , but it only took ten minutes before it was done.

I answered the call and held the phone against my ear. ''Speak.''

''Wow, is that how you greet your friends now?'' Spencer's annoying voice was heard, along with a loud grunt.

''Sorry. I've had a rough day.'' I replied and rubbed my eyes to get rid of the tired feeling. My eye vision gets blurry when I get tired.

''So have I. Aria got mad at me for bringing the wrong cupcake from the store.'' Spencer mumbled between gritted teeth. Sounded like she was embarrassed of her mistake.

''Wait.. are you two spending the weekend together?'' I teased.

''Ugh. I can picture that smirk of yours all the way to this living room! And I'm miles away from you!'' Spencer hissed. ''But to answer your question, yes we are. She asked if I wanted to go with her to Boston, where her parents live and I said yes since my house always is empty. I rather be with her instead of all by myself.''

''How romantic.'' I couldn't help but sound envious. I wish my love life were just as easy as theirs.

''Speaking of romantic. I heard about Alison leaving Jefferson's in the middle of her shift. It left huge headlines beneath those walls. I bet she's with you, isn't she?'' Spencer chuckled.

I bit my lip. Alison did leave Jefferson's, but I don't think it was because of me. According to what she said, it seemed like it was because she was extremely tired of being there.

''She's here in Philly, yes. But she's not with me at the moment.'' I explained and leaned against the headboard. I wish Alison was here. I miss her.

''Then why don't you go to her? You're free from this school for awhile, enjoy every minute of it and spend as much time with her as you can.'' Spencer pointed out.

''Spencer Hastings, the love doctor.'' I sarcastically said and hummed a melody. ''Good idea though, I will.'' I agreed. ''Tell Aria I said hi.''

''Of course. And actually..'' Spencer paused. ''Greet Alison from me.''

My eyes widened. ''Seriously?''

''Yeah. I might not have been the best kind of friend when it comes to that part of your life, but I honestly think that you deserve that big, beautiful love and I'm sure Alison is the right woman to give it to you. I'm not the one to judge and if I ever get the chance to meet her, I'll give her an honest chance.'' Spencer told me. My lips were now slightly parted and I had stopped breathing for a second. What did I do to deserve Spencer? Can someone please remind me?

''You're an amazing best friend, Spence. Don't ever doubt it.'' I clarified.

''So are you, Em.'' Spencer said back. ''I have to run, Aria just called for me. I'll see you when you get back to Jefferson's and don't forget to call me if you feel like talking, okay?''

''You got it.'' I said and hung up.

Spencer does have a point. I should take this opportunity to spend as much time as I can with Alison. Who knows what's going to be the circumstances when the police decides what to do with me? I might not be able to see my other half for awhile.

I hurried up and dialed Alison's number.

''Oh look who's calling. If it isn't my number one fan.'' Alison answered.

I chuckled. I love when she's acting like a total egocentric bitch. It fits her so well. She must've been a queen bee when she was at my age.

''Were you a queen bee when you were in my age?'' I asked straight away. Maybe I shouldn't have asked that. Every time I mention our age difference she thinks I'm teasing her for being five years older than I am.

''Once again you manage to make it sound like I'm forty. Thank you.'' Alison sarcastically snapped. ''But yes, I was a queen bee in high school. Why are you asking that?''

''Because it fits you so damn well!'' I blurted out.

Alison laughed. ''Is that a good thing?''

''If you only knew.'' I mumbled and bit my lip.

''Em?'' Alison checked if I were still there.

''Have you ever had phone sex?''

It went silent.

''Okay no. We're not doing that now.'' Alison simply said.

''Fine. So what are you doing?'' I asked to change the subject.

''I just came back to Micah's condo after having a meeting with a rental company. I'm thinking about starting my own business.'' Alison confidently replied.

I, on the other hand, sat like a lump of frozen yoghurt. ''Wait- What?''

Alison sighed. ''Why don't you come here and I'll explain it to you in person?''

''Yes! I'll be right over!'' I shouted and hung up before Alison had time to change her mind. I jumped up from the bed and basically ran out of the apartment.
