Alison POV:
"Do you want to go out with me tonight? Dinner and a movie? 7 PM?" Noel asks me.

I look behind me again, and it looks like Emily has been crying. I look at Aria and she keeps shifting in her seat. Then Hanna and Spencer who are talking about something.

I turn back around and look at Noel, before smiling apologetically at him.

"I'm sorry, Noel. I can't tonight." I tell him.

"Oh, what about tomorrow?" He asks sounding hopeful.

"I mean I can't any night. I have my eyes on someone else. I'm sorry." I say to him, and he nods his head, and turns back to the front.

I look back at Emily again, and she's looking out the window, but damn she looks good. Her hair all on her left shoulder, the sunlight outlining her perfect figure, her eyes glowing a light chocolate brown.

I feel another tap on my shoulder. I turn around and look Noel in his blue/green eyes.

"Who?" He asks.

"It's a secret." I whisper.

I look back at Emily again, and she's now looking at me.

I'm about to say something when the bell rings. I sigh, and get up, and when I turn around, Emily is already out the door. Good thing I have her in every class.

"Do you know what's wrong with Emily?" I ask Spencer.

"No. There are only 2 people who know." She responds.

"And who's that?" I question.

"Her, and Aria." She says, and goes off the French class.

The day goes by slow. Emily not sitting next to me in any class.

It's finally lunch, and I see Emily and the girls at our usual table.

I go and sit down next to Emily, and she just stares down at her food. Aria keeps looking at her with sympathy eyes. Hanna looks lost as ever, and Spencer is being Spencer. Studying for the test next week.

"Hey!" I say, smiling as I get in my seat.

"Hey." Hanna, Aria, and Spencer say in unison.

"Hi." Emily mumbles.

"Umm, Emily? Can I talk to you?" I ask.

"Uh, s-sure." She stutters.

Weird. Emily never stutters.

"What's up?" She asks me.

"In private." I add.

We walk to the bathroom and I check under all of the stalls before locking the door.

"Emily, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing. Really." She says, her voice cracking.

"Emily-"

"I said it's nothing." She cuts me off.

"I know your lying." I say sternly.

She just stares at me.

"What did I do to make you hate me?" I ask as my voice falters.

"I don't hate you." She says quietly.

"Really? Because it doesn't seem that way." I say on the verge of tears.

"How've you and Noel been?" She asks, changing the subject.

"What do you mean?" I ask confused.

"Nothing." She mumbles, and tries to leave to bathroom. But I stop her by grabbing her arm and pulling her back.

"Emily! Please tell me what's wrong!" I plead.

"You don't even know the effect you have on me!" She yells sad but angry, and storms out of the bathroom.

She speed walks past the cafeteria, me running behind her. The other girls see her and run out of the cafeteria.

What did she mean by me and Noel?

...She thinks I'm dating Noel!

"Emily! Wait!" I yell after her, but it's too late. She starts her car and drives away from the school.

"FUCK!" I yell at the top of my lungs.

"Alison!" I hear Aria yell, but I just ignore.

I run over to my car, and drive away.

I keep driving. I don't even know where the hell I'm going.

I drive as my tears cloud, and blind my vision.

I look down for a few seconds, and when I look up, I'm on the other side of the road.

I try to drive back to the other side, but I lose control of the car.

The car spins as swivels all over the road.

I feel the impact of another car hitting me from the passengers side.

I scream bloody murder as my head slams against the window.

Before I know it, my car is flying over the bridge into the river below...









Hey!
How many hearts did I just hurt?
I'm sorry!
I'm honestly not even sure how I came up with the chapter.
I'll try to update soon!
Sorry it's so short!
