Pretty Little Liars (Emison)

Opening Up

EMILY POV//
It was 1:27pm when I left Hanna's. I knew my mom was worried sick, I just wasn't looking forward to answering all of her questions. I'm still not.
I slowly open the door and close it quietly. I turn around and my mom is standing in front of me, running with both her arms open. She wraps her hands around my face, "Are you okay?! Emily, I was so worried about you!" She gives me a hug.
"I'm okay, mom."
"Are you sure?" she says, looking all over my body for bruises or cuts. Or gun wounds. I think of Ezra.
"I'm okay mom," I say, trying to reassure her. "I'm okay." I whisper, to reassure myself.
I sit at the end of my bed and log onto my laptop. As soon as I get to my homepage, I hear a ding. I jump. "A's dead. A's dead." I say, sighing in relief.
I tap my mail app and click the first notification and read:
Hey Emily, I know this morning you said you didn't wanna talk today, whatever were talking about. I don't know. I just want to say thank you for everything, & when will we talk about whatever were talking about? -Alison
I shut my laptop.
ALISON POV//
I wake up and instantly check my mail. Nothing back from Emily. Just some stupid free trials and advertisment. I'm still pretty new to mail. Or email, whatever. Before I went into hiding, it wasn't very popular. No one had one, so I didn't make one. Now it seems everyone has one. I still don't know how to work Instagram. I only have 12 followers. I laugh, everyone hates me. On twitter I have 12,987. I only had around 300 around the time I left. I guess people felt bad for me and followed me. My notifications were crazy on twitter. I have a bunch of tweets from people, "No one ever gave a shit about you." and "Glad you're gone!" and if I was lucky I'd get a nice "RIP."
I close my laptop and lay on my bed. I look at the clock next to my bed, 7:45am. Why am I up so early? The girls are probably getting ready for school about now. I sigh and call Aria.
"Hey Ari, how are you this morning?"
"Good. I'm not going to school this morning, I'm staying in the hospital with Ezra until after 3rd period." she replied, I heard nothing on the other line but beeps from a heart monitor.
"Oh, we'll if you need anyone to talk to you can pick me up, I'm not doing anything."
"Just get your license already! Gas is pricey!" she laughs, which makes me laugh. A spark lights through my body.
"I'm sorry! I'm studying to get my permit soon. My dad has to go by and get the book for me."
"It's fine, I'll pick you up soon. You don't have to dress up, I'm wearing sweats."
"Okay."
"I love you, Ali."
I smile. Big.
"Love you too."
I hang up.

She pulls in my driveway & I climb in the passenger seat.
"Do you wanna drive?" she says.
"Not exactly, no."
"You sure? You can drive to the end of the road if you want?"
"I don't really know how. No one ever taught me."
She sits in silence, as if she was thinking. She opens her door and gets out. I sigh and move over to the drivers side. She gets into the passenger seat and puts her seatbelt on. I do the same.
"Okay, do you know the first step?" she says.
"Aria, I don't even know which pedal is the gas and which is the break!" I laugh.
"The brake is the big one." She points to the gas and shows me all the things I need to know. She gives me a quick lesson on how to start and I try. I turn the key on, holding my foot on the brake. I put it in reverse and accidentally step on the gas too hard and we fly backwards. I step on the brake and then we fly forward.
We both laugh and I try again, this time not stepping too hard.

"Good, good." She says as we back up. I get far back enough and put it in drive, and were off.

She plugs in her phone and plays some music, new Katy Perry music I've never heard. She's came out with 2 albums since I've been gone! My favorite song from hers is Unconditionally.

Then Aria plays some Taylor Swift, who I've never really been a fan of. But now she's came out with some pop music that I can stand. She plays this really heartfelt, emotional song.

"This is my favorite by Taylor." she says, while moving her arm back and forth like she was swimming, singing along.

"What's it called?" I say as I approach a stop sign. I accidently step too hard on the break and we fly forward.

"Wildest Dreams." she says, holding onto the handle on the roof of the car.
I immidiently think of Emily's note. "Say you'll remember me, even if it's just in your wildest dreams."

We drive in silence except for the loud music, listening to Wildest Dreams. The lyrics are so similar to my situation with Emily. 'Hey I broke your heart, but please say you'll see me again. Please say you'll remember me?" I just wanna tell her. I feel tears running down my cheek, I didn't even realize I was crying.

"Ali?" Aria says.
I quickly wipe the years off. "What?" I say, trying to keep my voice from cracking.

"You..wanna talk about something?"
I don't reply, I keep driving. Probably 3 miles later, I open up. I spill my heart out. I told her how much I wanted Emily back. I told her how she hated me and would never want me back after what I did to her. I tell her that I wish I could talk to her, I don't care what we talk about. As long as were talking. I tell her how I told Emily, that if I ever kissed her it was just practice for the real thing. I tell her how that was all a lie. I wasn't brave enough to come out and say I'm gay. She listened. She listened to all of it. She kept nodding and didn't interrupt. I go on.

"I'm sorry, I know you don't really know what to say about this. You don't have to say anything. I just really needed someone to listen to me." I say, after wiping the endless stream of tears running down my face. I took a deep breath.
"No, Ali, it's totally okay. You can talk to me anytime you want, about anything." she says, putting her hand on my knee. "I think you should tell her."
"She won't even answer my emails, or my calls. She doesn't wanna hear it. She's done with me."
"I highly doubt that, Ali. She didn't want to admit it, but when you were gone, she missed you. I mean, we all did. But Emily...she was torn apart. You were her whole world. She loved you, and I'm sure if you could get her alone and tell her that, she'd love you again just as she did. The only reason she's avoiding you is because she doesn't want to love you as deeply as she did before. She's scared of you hurting her again."
She changed the song to another depressing Taylor Swift song.

"& if you tell her what you just told me, I am 100% sure she will realize you're not going to hurt you, take you back, and love you just as much as she did."

WILL EMILY EVER EVEN TALK TO ALI???
