Emison: Promises

Chapter 55: Friends

*not edited much...*

*a couple days later*

Emily's POV

'' So what's new with you?''

'' Not much... Kinda been just hanging around my house, not really doing anything. The depression from this break-up is just taking over my whole time, my whole life'' I answer the girls

''Ugh! Not you too!''

'' Hanna!'' Spencer and Aria yell at her and I see them glare at her through the laptop screen

'' What do you mean not me too???'' I know very well what they meant, I just don't want it to be true. They all just stay silent, Hanna looking down, Aria biting her nails and Spencer looking anywhere but at me, well the screen. '' Someone better tell me right now what the hell is happening!'' I demand

'' We have to tell her...'' Aria looks at the other two girls

'' No, Aria, we don't!'' Spencer protests

'' I think we should, Spencer. She has the right to know...'' Hanna agrees with Aria

'' What the hell happened?! Please, just tell me!''

'' But Elliot sa-''

'' Elliot?!'' I shriek. No! They can't be hooking up! No. No. No. '' NO! Please tell me they're not...'' I'm incapable of finishing my sentence

'' What? Oh no!'' Spencer reassures me '' Elliot said that Ali doesn't want you to know... And I think we should respect her wishes''

'' Please, Spencer... I'm begging you! I need her back in my life, I'm miserable. I want to help her... Please let me'' I beg a soft tear rolling down my cheek

'' Ugh... You and your puppy dog eyes... I swear'' she throws her hands in the air '' Go ahead... Tell her''

'' Ok... Um so...'' Aria hesitates

'' Spit it out'' I say

'' Alison was cooped up in her room for 3 weeks. She didn't come back to school this week. She was silent the whole time. Barely said a word or ate. One day, Elliot went to check up on her'' Again, why is it always him? '' And she'd closed her door and she wouldn't open it, so he went through Jason's and charged into her room and she had a razor in her hand and he knocked it out before she could do anything!'' she finishes really fast

I put my hand over my mouth as I feel my heart clench '' I did this to her...'' I mutter as I feel water pooling in my eyes '' She tried to hurt herself?'' I gulp and they just nod sympathetically '' W-why?'' I stutter

'' That's not up to us to tell you Emily... I wish we could but that's too private'' Aria says

'' Fine. Then I'll call her. I need to start winning her back anyways!'' I tell them

'' Don't'' Spencer warns '' Don't Em. She needs to breathe. You both need space, be apart for a little bit''

'' You don't think 1,675 miles is enough!'' I vociferate (A/N I checked the distance, how sad am I... )

'' That's not what I meant! Em, she just started getting back on her feet. Give her some time before you jump the gun''

'' I need her Spencer... I've been going crazy! I have no one here to keep me sane! I need her!''

'' What about Quinn?''

'' Spencer!'' now it was Hanna and Aria's turn to scowl at her

'' No. It's fine. Low punch but I deserved it. I haven't spoken to Quinn since I messed up. She was the only person I could truly open up to over there and now I have no one.''
