I do not own any of the characters.

Noel Kahn's annual Pre-Christmas party in 4 hours and here i was- Alison DiLaurentis- once the most popular girl in Rosewood, with power over everybody and anybody...was watering Mrs Hastings garden.

I had just been out to check the mail when Mrs Hastings said hello. Conversations started. One thing led to another and now here i was.

"Alison sweetie, i'm going out to the law firm. It's going to be a late night. Help yourself to food when you feel hungry okay? Spencer's at home so just ask if you need anything. Bye!" Mrs Hastings yelled, waving goodbye one hand out her car window.

I waved back politely and smiled. The watering didn't take long, but i did find it somewhat stupid that she had to water on such a sunny day. The water just dried up right after you fed it to the plants. Nothing could be more boring to me but i did in fact- after many many months- have really nothing to do. A had quieted down too and dad was always out of town. Not to mention the girls completely ignoring my existence.

It really did hurt me, to know that my four best friends no longer trusted and cared for me as they once did. And especially the thought of Emily. Sweet Emily, the most loyal one of them all...now also turned against me. I know i've made horrible mistakes in my life, the thoughts swim in my mind all night long, even until early sunrise sometimes, i lay awake...just thinking.

When the work was done though, i did feel quite famished, so as Mrs H instructed i went to help myself with some food.

"What're you doing here!?" a startled Spencer asked, stopping at the bottom of the stairs, eyes wide in surprise.

"Your mom asked me to water her plants. Said i could help myself to food if i was hungry, oh and Hello to you too Spencer." I replied, the last part sarcastically.

Spencer rolled her eyes at me. It had been 3 weeks now since Mona had died. The girls think i did it, they think i'm A. They think i would continuously inflict so much pain and suffering on them. They think it because i'm Alison and Alison would do that.

"Are you sure you aren't here to ruin our night? Ruin our outfits maybe? Puncture our tyres? Run one of us over if you're lucky?" Spencer said, a bit more angrily now.

"Spence, please. I don't even know what my plans are for tonight, how the hell am i supposed to know yours? Look i know you four couldn't hate me any more than you already do right now, but please just hear me out okay?" I asked waiting for a reply.

The tall brunette just nodded her head, but before i could even form a sentence in my mind Hanna was barging in through the side door along with Aria and Emily trailing behind.

The three of them froze in their places, all eyes on me.

It was what felt like the longest silence ever eventually to be broken by Aria stepping forward and hugging me tightly.

My body couldn't respond at first, mainly because of the shock that the short brunette would perform such an affectionate action in front of the other girls to me, especially considering their recent disharmony towards me.

I was frozen still at first, with every muscle in my body tensed to the point where i almost couldn't breathe but then Aria started rubbing my back soothingly like i was a helpless little baby and thats when i snapped back into reality.

I wrapped my arms around her tiny little frame and melted into the hug. It felt nice to have a warm, caring hug after a long, dreadful and lonely month.

"Are you two done? Or are we gonna have to book a hotel room for you?" Hanna said slightly annoyed.

Aria and i separated from the hug and we exchanged weak smiles. I looked up at Hanna giving her a dirty. Her face told me that what we felt in that moment was mutual. I looked over to Emily who hadn't said a word since she walked in, only to find her staring at the ground, her beautiful long hair covering the majority of her face so i couldn't see her. Oh how i would give up so much just to know what she was thinking right now. Funny how once i could read her like a headline but now it was as if someone had asked me to read underwater.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Hanna continued

"She was just leaving." Spencer interjected before i could speak.

Hanna looked at me. "Well? What are you waiting for? Leave." She stated simply.

"Here i'll walk you out." Spencer offered leading me out the side door in which the other three had entered through.

Emily was still standing near the door, face glued to the ground and arms by her side.

It may have been 30 seconds or it may have been 1 but in the time it took me to brush past Emily, our hands ever so slightly brushed and she quickly held my hand and gave it a tiny reassuring squeeze.

Such a simple gesture that could be incorporated into any situation made me feel so good. Only the tiniest of butterflies flew around my stomach for the briefest moment but when it did i couldn't of felt happier.

Maybe i should go to the party tonight.

Yeh its not much yet but don't worry it'll get heaps better! Promise! Xoxo
