Falling for you

No goodbye

Emily:
Dear em,
I'm sorry, but I had to go. I hope you understand. It's not your fault and that's the main thing I want you to understand. I'll be back soon, I just needed to get away. I'll always be your best friend and please don't worry about me.
Love,
Ali
I felt tears forming in my eyes as I finished reading the letter. Why would Ali just leave? Why would she need to get away? We're her parents fighting too much? Was she afraid that I liked her in that way?
So many questions formed in the back of my mind but all I could do was bite my lip and re-read the letter. Where did she go? I started freaking out. This was really weird, Alison wouldn't just leave without a reason. How could I not worry about her? Was she insane? I clutched the paper in my hand and re-read it for the fourteenth time. How could she just leave me like this? How long would she be gone? The questions kept forming in my head so I decided to try to reach her on her cellphone. I dialed her number but got no reply. It didn't even ring, it just went straight to voice mail. She turned her phone off. I shoved on some shorts and a t-shirt and sprinted over to mrs. Dilaurentis's house and knocked on the door. Ali's mom opened it and I was greeted with red, puffy eyes. I instantly hugged her tightly, she was holding a letter in her hand as well.
"She's just gone, she didn't even say where." Mrs. Dilaurentis sobbed into my shoulder. I patted her back affectionately and buried my head in her shoulder. My throat burned from trying to hold back the sobs that threatened to pour out of my throat and my eyes stung. I needed to be here for support, right now I was not the victim.
"I'm sorry." I managed to say while a tear escaped my eye lid.
Did Alison not know the affect she had on the people she left behind.
"Is-is she coming back?" She asked hopelessly clinging to me.
"Of course she is." I reassured her finally getting released from the hug.
"Maybe-maybe I s-should just l-leave her alone and w-wait for her to come back?" Mrs. Dilaurentis suggested to no one in particular. I just nodded my head and let her vent.
"The most important thing is that you have to remember that it's not your fault and you didn't do anything wrong." I reminded her as she wiped her eyes with a Kleenex.
"Yes I know." She sighed sniffling.

I left a couple of hours later. Ali's mom had made is tea and I had only left when she stopped crying. I wanted to be alone right now and I couldn't be that good of a supporter right now. Right now, I needed to be comforted. So, I called Paige and she came over right away.
"Babe, it's okay. She'll come back." Paige instantly greeted me and pulled me into a hug. I buried my head in her neck and she stroked my hair, whispering in my ear.
"Well you should come inside." I said when we pulled apart. She looked around seeing that we were in public.
"Right, of course." She chuckled when I grabbed her by her hand and pulled her inside.
"It's just weird you know? Like, she just suddenly left. I know that her parents have been fighting, but would that be enough for her to leave? Heck, nobody even knows where she is." I managed to say after I had stopped crying.
"She probably doesn't want you to worry and she clearly wants you to get on with your life. She'll be back and we can't just keep living like she died." Paige said surprisingly cold.
"Ouch, that's kind of harsh Paige." I retorted untangling myself from her arms.
"Sorry." Was all she said
"Are you seriously jealous right now?" This was unbelievable. My best friend goes missing and Paige gets jealous that I'm crying over it?
"It's just that I've always thought there was more between you and Ali that you guys weren't saying and now that she's gone, you can finally give me all of your attention." Paige replied defensively, "I'm not saying that I'm not sorry that she's gone, I just think she left because of you and you're taken so maybe you should start acting like it."
As harsh as her words were, she was right. I did tell Alison that we needed space but I didn't mean like this. Paige was also crazy, there was nothing between me and Alison. At least, for her there wasn't.

If Ali really did love me, she wouldn't have written me a letter, she would've said goodbye to me in person.
