Straight As A Circle

THE MORNING AFTER

Alison's POV
As the sun rises and my eyes open I start to remember last nights events.

I sit up on the couch and place my hands on the sides of my head.
After what happened last night I thought Emily would come back home but she didn't.
I've called a billion times and left her messages but she still isn't home.
Now standing up I decide to try again.
Once the phone starts ringing after dialing out I'm met by the dial tone again.

-EM, WHERE ARE YOU? I ask. I'VE BEEN CALLING YOU ALL NIGHT AND YOU'RE REALLY WORRYING ME I add. PLEASE CALL BACK OR COME HOME I beg. I LOVE YOU.
I sigh and hang up the phone before going up to Arin's room to wake him.
-HEY KIDDO I say putting on a happy face so he won't see me crying.
He then stands himself up and climbs out of the opening of his crib.
-MOMMY PLAY Arin says handing me one of his many toy cars.
-NO I tell him. YOU HAVE TO BRUSH FIRST I add.
-OTAY Arin quips. MOMMY TOME BWUSH he says running off to the bathroom.
I chuckle up a laugh before following him.
Once we're done brushing our teeth I go back in his room to play for a little while.
-WANNA GO SEE GRANDMA? I ask Arin causing him to clap his hands and nod his head. ALRIGHT LETS SEND HER A MESSAGE I add taking my phone out.
I quickly send Pam a message with a picture attached to it telling her that we're coming over.

(Sorry to the adorable little girl I had to manip out of this picture 😂)
...
Once both Arin and I are dressed and in the car we drive over to Emily's old house.
-THAT'S MY FAVORITE BOY Pam says to Arin while trying to mimic a baby voice.
-THERE'S THE LITTLE GUY THAT KEEPS STEALING MY WIFE Wayne playfully says tickling Arin's side making him squirm and giggle. HEY ALISON He adds.
-HEY WAYNE I say giving him a hug.
-YOU OKAY SWEETIE? Pam questions me. WHERE'S EMILY? she also asks.
-UM YEAH I say. THATS WHY IM HERE I admit. IS EM HERE? I ask.
-WHAT DO YOU MEAN IS SHE HERE? Pam questions. I FIGURED SHE'D BE AT HOME WITH YOU.
-NO I sigh. WE HAD A FIGHT AND SHE LEFT LAST NIGHT AND HASN'T COME HOME YET I tell them.
-I'LL CALL HER Wayne quips.
-I TRIED THAT, I KEEP GETTING THE DIAL TONE I declare. YOU CAN TRY THOUGH.
-HI THIS IS EMILY FIELDS IM CURRENTLY NOT AVAILABLE TO TAKE YOUR CALL BUT IF YOU LEAVE YOUR NAME AND NUMBER I'LL GET BACK TO YOU AS SOON AS POSSIBLE I hear on the phone.
Wayne then leaves a message and hangs up.
Emily's POV
-EM, WHERE ARE YOU? I'VE BEEN CALLING YOU ALL NIGHT AND YOU'RE REALLY WORRYING ME. PLEASE CALL BACK OR COME HOME. I LOVE YOU
-EMMY, ALISON'S HERE AND SHE'S LOOKING FOR YOU. EVERYONE'S WORRIED. I KNOW WE RAISED YOU RIGHT SO IM SURE YOU'LL COME HOME AND DEAL WITH YOUR ISSUES LIKE AN ADULT.
-DELETE MESSAGES the automatic voice says after I listen to both of the messages Alison and my dad sent me.
I exhale a long held breath before clicking on the delete option on my voicemail.
I can't go home.
What happened last night was a mistake, a huge one.
I don't even know what came over me.
I guess I was so angry about the Noel thing that I couldn't control myself.
As I sit on the couch in my hotel room I notice that I'm now crying.

I know that I didn't mean to hurt her, I would never hurt Ali or Arin.
Sitting there I start contemplating on whether or not I should stay away.
Maybe it's for the best.
That way if I'm not around I can't hurt them.
6 HOURS LATER
Alison's POV (again)
I didn't feel like driving home tonight so Arin and I are still at Pam and Wayne's.
The girls came over a while ago to try and cheer me up.
-ALISON! YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS! CeCe laughs.
Looking up I see Hanna and CeCe making Arin dance.
I chuckle before getting a glass of water and heading upstairs.
Now upstairs my phone vibrates causing me to look down at it.
I quickly unlock the phone after seeing that I received a message from Emily.
Emily ❤️: I love both you and Arin with all of my heart but I don't think I'm safe to be around anymore. I'm so sorry about last night. I want you to know that I would never hurt you and I never want to hurt you, which is why I'm gonna stay away.
Love Emily.
Reading the text over and over I start to feel light headed.
The phone then slips from my hand as I black out and fall down to the floor.
...
-HOW MANY FINGERS AM I HOLDING UP? Aria questions me as I sit in the corner of the room.
-FOUR I tell her.
Without even knowing it, I begin to cry again.
-SHE'S NOT COMING BACK I sob.
-WE'LL FIND HER, ALRIGHT? my shorter friend questions. EMILY'S GONNA COME BACK Aria assures me as she rubs my shoulder to soothe my cries.

Looking over behind Spencer I see Arin staring at me.
-SORRY I DIDN'T KNOW HE WAS IN HERE Mona says. I'LL TAKE HIM TO HIS ROOM.
-NO, ITS OKAY I tell her. C'MERE I lowly say to my son while holding my arms out.
Arin then runs over and sits in my lap placing a kiss on my face.
-HUG? Arin questions with a serious face.
-YEAH I COULD USE A HUG I tell him.
-WANT US TO LEAVE? Spencer asks causing me to slowly nod my head.
-WE'LL CALL YOU LATER Hanna tells me as they all walk out to leave.
As soon as they leave I wrap my arms around Arin's small body as he lightly pats my back with his fingers.
I stand up and pick him up as well before lying down on the bed.
-I TITTLE YEW He says trying his best to tickle me to make me feel better.
I laugh and do the same to his tummy making him release a frenzy of laughs.

-BED TIME I tell him.
-NITE NITE Arin says hiding under the covers from me.
-SERIOUSLY DON'T MAKE THE TICKLE MONSTER COME UNDER THERE I growl.
Minutes later after our play session Arin falls asleep in my arms.
-I LOVE YOU I say kissing his head.
Feeling parched I get up from the bed to go downstairs.
Now in the kitchen I go into the fridge to get the milk.
After rinsing the glass cup I pour some milk and drink it.
While drinking it I notice my stomach starting to feel uneasy.
I ignore the feeling and continue to drink the milk.
Walking back upstairs to Emily's old room I call her, only getting the dial tone once again.
-PLEASE COME HOME I plead. I KNOW THAT YOU DIDN'T MEAN IT EMILY, I DON'T HATE YOU BABE JUST COME BACK AND WE'LL TALK ABOUT IT.
After leaving my message and hanging up the phone I return to the bed with Arin to fall asleep.
