*What happens when Mary takes Ali home from Welby?

Ali: "Shh no need to call the nurse I'm in charge now" That was what she had said me when she showed up in my room and took my hands in hers, I thought I was hallucinating

She sat down on my bed, "I'm your moms twin Alison" She said, my mom had never shown me a kind touch like that, maybe she was real I don't know what to think

I started to curl up in a ball shaking out of fear she was going to hurt me just like Elliot had "Please don't hurt me" I whispered crying.

But she wrapped her arms around me and hugged me so tightly "I'm so sorry that I couldn't protect you before.. Your safe now, Mary's got you" She said softly holding me protectively

"I have an aunt" I whisper trying to wrap my head around the fact that my mom has a twin and that she's being so kind to me.

"Yes you do sweetie" She said, but the look on her face was so conflicted like she wanted to tell me something, she kissed my hair so gently something in my gut told me she wasn't here to hurt me I found myself wrapping my arms around her hugging her back fiercely, where was she all those years when I needed someone as kind as her?

"Please don't let this be a hallucination, please don't let this be a trick" I whisper to myself

"I'm real Alison and I'm going to find a way to get you out of here I promise" She murmured as she rocked me gently.

She just sat there holding me for a minutes, I couldn't help this feeling that I had met her before but I knew I hadn't, I couldn't place it, there was a deep instinctive connection, it wasn't like what I had with my mom or dad, I couldn't place it.

"I'm going to go talk to your doctors and see what I can do to get you out of here, Your not crazy and you don't belong here, I'll be back in a little bit" She says squeezing my hand before walking out the door

I was tired and drifted off to sleep knowing that Elliot was gone, at least I wasn't in that muzzle and tied down being drugged anymore

I woke up the next morning from the strangest dream I had heard my mom arguing with an unknown person outside, I was only a toddler

"You took her and just ripped her away from me, I love her more than anything, you can't tell me I can't see her, How do I even know that she's okay?!" I heard the woman crying.

"Well she's mine now, you can't have anything, I couldn't let crazy old you have her, I did her a favor, get out of here" my mom yelled

"Damn it, She belongs with me, I want her you had no right to take her from me.. I'll take you back to court again. Jessica why do you hate me so much? I never did anything bad to you" the woman said hurt

"You were born and took attention away from me, Don't waste your time in court, now scram before I call the cops!" My mom sneered

"Mom who was that?" I asked having this strange gut feeling like something very wrong was going on, I felt an overwhelming sense of emotional pain and fear

"No one Ali, go watch tv don't bother me" She says coldly

Had the woman been looking for me, I was the only girl in the house, but why'd they be looking for me?.

I woke up feeling very confused and disoriented was that just a dream or a memory it felt so real

It was the morning already, had I been out that long? The nurse comes in

"Good Morning, Alison, You have a visitor, oh and pack your stuff up they're taking you home, you've been released" The nurse says.

I see Mary come in the door "I got them to release you into my care, I already signed the paperwork all you have to is sign it and then your free to go" She says smiling sadly, I could see the tears welling in her eyes

I found myself running up to her "Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! Your the best" I say squeezing her I kissed her on the cheek

I realized what I had done, I hardly know her that was probably inappropriate, what if she doesn't want me as family but was just trying to help? why did I do that?.

She looked at me awestruck like she was in shock "I'm so sorry that was so inappropriate of me!" I started to pull away shaking, crying but she pulled me closer and tilted my head up

"You didn't do anything wrong, I just didn't expect that.. Oh sweetie I love you so much, I want you, I always have" She says softly tears rolling down her cheek, she kisses my forehead tenderly

I can't explain this feeling but it just felt so right every time she wrapped her arms around me, I never had that feeling with my mom, come to think of it my mom never even really hugged me or touched me in any way.

"I love you too" The words slip out of my mouth before I can control myself I rest my head against her shoulder I don't know how she got me out of here but I know she wouldn't of done it if she didn't care about me.

"Come on let's get you out of here, I'll be in the waiting area" She says squeezing me before she walks out the door

I gather up my things and sign my release papers

"Come on let's get you home" She says softly putting her arm around my shoulder

We walked up to the desk "Ready to be buzz out" She says.

"Oh before you go here's the files you requested Ms. Drake, sorry it took some time to get them" The nurse said something seemed off what files? but she gave me this look of I'll explain later

She drove me home and told me she'd be staying with me for a while

I sat down in my bed for the first time in weeks, but I'd have to get a new one because Elliot had slept in this one, I wanted every trace of him gone.

Mary and I had coffee and lunch, caluiflower casserole, it was a bit weird but I liked it a 1000x better then welby food!

She explained to me that she had spent quite a bit of time in Radley herself due to my mom leaving her with a dead baby she had been babysitting

I felt bad for her, this woman had been though so much and I loved my mom but I can tell Mary's actually the more sane one of them.
