Great Expectations {HBIC ღ Jock} #25: "Nobody loved me as much as you did."


#25;
e m i l y a l i s o n

I loved her against reason. Against promise. Against peace. Against
hope, against happiness. Against all discouragement that could be.
This is a story of girl meets girl. Alison DiLaurentis was Rosewood's very own Queen Bee. Rich and beautiful, she was both loved and feared. Emily Fields was Rosewood's star athlete on the swim team, but she was shy and guarded. On the first day that they met, Alison knew that there was something different about her. She knew they would end up as best friends -- and they did. But it was more than that, for Emily. Though her and Alison didn't always have a picture-perfect friendship, Emily fell in love with her anyway, despite her flaws. Or, perhaps, because of them.

The two were a c o m p l i m e n t a r y pair. Where Emily was shy, Alison was bold. Where Alison was brave, Emily was timid. Emily wore her heart on her sleeve and Alison kept everything inside, putting up a façade to make it look like she didn't need anyone. But Emily and Alison both knew that they needed each other. They knew each other best. Where Alison went, Emily went too. Their relationship was the strongest of the group's and everyone knew it. Emily protected Alison. Alison made Emily strong.

" m o r e than a friend."

Their first kiss was in the school library. While reading Great Expectations, Emily leaned over and kissed Alison. And Alison kissed her back. Emily had loved Alison for so long, but she had never even dared to hope that maybe, possibly, Alison felt the same about her. For that one perfect moment, when they kissed, Emily thought everything would end up happily ever after between herself and Alison. Just like in a fairytale.

But it was not to be. Alison loved Emily in her own way, but she was also scared of what was between them. It wasn't long before she hurt Emily by rejecting her other romantic advances; Emily was crushed. She wrote Alison a letter to try and tell her how she really felt, to try and push Alison out of her life, but she couldn't. No matter what Alison did, Emily kept on l o v i n g her. And after Alison's death, Emily still carried on, never taking off the friendship bracelet Alison made for her. Emily continues to hold out for Alison. She knows in her heart that Alison isn't gone, not really. Even though she tries, again and again, she still can't find a way to let Alison go. Alison is Emily's one true love; Emily will never love anyone as much as she loved Alison. And she will continue to love and wait for Alison no matter what.

the books.

"We were best friends. I cared about her so much. So this one day, sort of out of the blue, I did it ... Ali and I were in this tree house in her backyard – we went there a lot to talk. We were sitting up there, talking about this guy that she liked, some older boy whose name she wouldn’t say, and I just felt like I couldn’t hold any of it in anymore. So I leaned over and kissed her.

"She wasn’t into it, though. She was even kind of distant and said, like, 'Well, now I know why you get so quiet when we’re changing for gym!' ... Ali said she didn’t think best friends should kiss. So I tried to play it off as a joke. But when I went home, I realized how I really felt. So I wrote her this letter, telling her that I loved her. I don't think she ever got it, though. If she did, she never said anything ... I still think about her a lot."


— Pretty Little Liars


And then, because Emily couldn't stand it any longer, she leaned forward and kissed Ali. There was a singular, wonderful moment; then Ali pulled away and laughed. Emily tried to pass it off like she was just playing ... and then they went to their separate houses to have dinner. She’d thought about the kiss so many times, she’d hardly remembered what had come before it.

— PLL: Flawless


Emily had loved Ali more than anyone — they used to call Emily 'Killer,' as in Ali's personal pit bull.

— PLL: Perfect


There were many times she’d imagined running away before — Ali used to say she’d go with her. Hawaii was one of their top five choices. So was Paris. Ali said they could assume different identities. When Emily protested, saying that sounded difficult, Ali shrugged and said, “Nah. Becoming someone else is probably really easy.” Wherever they chose, they promised to spend tons of uninterrupted time together, and Emily had always secretly hoped that maybe, just maybe, Ali would have realized she loved Emily as much as Emily loved her.

— PLL: Unbelievable


Out of all Ali’s old friends, Emily was definitely having the toughest time handling Ali’s death. It was just that she’d never had a best friend like Ali, before or since. It didn’t help, either, that Ali had also been Emily’s first love, the very first girl she’d ever kissed. If it were up to Emily, she wouldn’t be burying Ali at all. She was perfectly fine with keeping her Ali memorabilia on her nightstand forever and ever.

— PLL: Wicked


... She’d fallen in love with Ali in seventh grade ... In fact, now that she thought about it, the very first time Emily had ever seen Ali ... It was a few days before she started third grade, and Emily and her mom were at the grocery store ... A pretty blond girl about Emily’s age bounded right past them, skipping up the cereal aisle. There was something intoxicating about her, probably because she was everything plain, introverted Emily wasn’t.

— PLL: Killer


Emily had spent years pining over Ali, obsessing over every contour of her face, memorizing every hair on her head ... When she’d seen Ali in the woods on Saturday night, her heart had filled with joy ... Emily couldn’t imagine why Ali would want to leave Rosewood; she always secretly hoped that it was because Ali wanted Emily all to herself.

— PLL: Heartless


Emily heard a sigh and opened her eyes. Courtney’s face was inches from hers. “Oh,” Emily breathed. Courtney moved even closer. The room vibrated with possibility. “I…” Emily started, but then Courtney leaned forward and touched her lips to Emily’s. A billion explosions went off in Emily’s head. Courtney’s lips were soft yet firm. Emily’s mouth fit hers perfectly. They kissed deeper, pressing harder. Emily was pretty sure her heart was beating even faster than it did in a fifty-meter freestyle sprint. When Courtney broke away, her eyes were shining.

"Well, I got my wish," Courtney said giddily. "I always hoped I’d get to do that again ... Don’t freak out. But Em, it’s me. Ali."

... Carolyn didn’t understand. This wasn’t a normal crush like the one she had on Maya or Isaac. For years she’d thought of being with Ali, of going to Stanford with her and then maybe — if she was lucky — getting a little house together with one of those cute rooster weather vanes out front. The idea of coming on too strong and ruining her chances with Ali paralyzed Emily. Ali’s opinion meant everything, and if Ali rejected her, Emily wasn’t sure what she’d do ...

... Emily had already envisioned sitting with Ali by the duck pond’s edge in the springtime, holding hands and blowing dandelion seeds across the grass. She’d imagined riding bikes with Ali around the winding streets of the development and camping out in her big backyard, waking up every few hours to kiss. And she’d pictured pulling up to Ali’s house tomorrow to pick up Ali for the Valentine’s Day dance, Ali descending the staircase dressed in a gorgeous red silk gown and red satin heels ...

... Ever so slowly, Ali took a step toward Emily. Her lips quivered. The corners of her eyes were wet. They stared at each other for a static-filled moment, Emily barely breathing. And then, Ali yanked Emily into an empty stall and pressed their bodies close. They kissed and kissed, the world melting away, the music from the dance subsiding until it was a dull echo. After a moment, they pulled back, breathless ...

... Ali had presented it to Emily after French class in sixth grade. "Pour vous, from moi," she’d said.

"What’s the occasion?" Emily asked.

"There isn’t one." Ali bumped Emily’s hip. "Just that I hope Emily Fields is my very bestest friend forever."


— PLL: Wanted


"She wasn't the love of my life or anything." That, of course, was Ali — her Ali. Was it crazy to still crush on a dead girl? Her Ali still had such a hold on her. And when "Courtney" returned, confessed to Emily that she was her real friend, and kissed Emily passionately on the lips, Emily had been in heaven. Now, even though Emily knew, logically, that her Ali had died the night of the seventh-grade sleepover, she still longed for that girl to return once more ...

... The smoky smell reminded Emily of something else too: the charred, blazing Poconos cabin the day Ali set fire to it, hoping to kill them all. For a brief moment, Emily allowed herself to revisit the memory of when she'd raced toward the kitchen door, desperate to get free. Ali had been there, too, grappling to get out before the others so she could barricade them inside. But Emily caught Ali's arm and spun her around ... Emily squeezed Ali's shoulders hard. And then, a loud boom filled the air. The next thing Emily knew, she was lying on the ground by the door. As she scrambled for safety, she knocked something to the floor. It was an orange tassel that had hung over the doorknob ever since she could remember. Every time Emily entered the Poconos house, giggling with Ali, ready for a fun weekend, she'd run her fingers through the tassel's silky threads. It made her feel like she was home.

Not quite knowing why, Emily slipped the tassel into her pocket. Then, she glanced over her shoulder one more time. She saw something she would never tell another soul, partly because she wasn't sure it was true or something she'd hallucinated after inhaling too much smoke, partly because she knew her friends wouldn't believe her, and partly because it was too scary and awful to even utter out loud.

When she'd looked back through the open doorway, into the about-to-explode house, Ali wasn't anywhere. Had she been surrounded by too much smoke? Had she simply crawled farther into the kitchen and resigned herself to death?

Or maybe, just maybe, she was trying desperately to get out of the house, too. What Emily did next she would never forget. Instead of slamming the door hard, even shoving an Adirondack chair in front of it to make sure Ali wouldn't escape, she'd left the door unlatched and ajar. One weak push, and Ali would be out. Safe. Free. Emily just couldn't let her die in there. Even if Ali had said all those horrible things. even if Ali had broken Emily's heart in a million different ways, she couldn't do that.

Now, in Spencer's den, Emily reached into her pocket and touched the silky orange tassel once more. That horrible scene in Jamaica flashed before her eyes. Everyone thought you died in the fire, Emily had said to the girl they all swore was Ali. But --

But what? The girl interrupted. But I escaped? Any ideas how that could have happened, Em? Then she'd pointedly glanced at Emily's pocket as though she had X-ray vision and could see the orange tassel Emily had carried everywhere even then, the tassel that hung on the very door that had allowed for Ali's escape.

Thanks guys.

I felt we just needed some book quotes in the OP, seeing as how big a role EA have in the books together.

Aw, Chrissy, stop it.

So do I. I keep re-reading them. There's SO many EA bits in the books, it was too much to put into just one OP. So I tried to find the most significant parts of each one.
