Saturday. December 15, 2027.
Piper cracked her eyes open to the warm beams of Brooklyn sun that were streaming through her windows. She felt as though the world had been waiting for this day for as long as she'd been. She rolled over, twisting the blankets so that her feet were no longer covered. She spent a long time just staring at the empty space of her king bed, knowing that it wouldn't be empty for much longer.
She rolled out of bed and put on the cardigan she wore that beautiful day in Italy. She knew Alex would recognize it immediately.
There was a knock on the door. "Piper!" the person called. "I brought the bracelet you left at the party yesterday." Piper unlocked the door to see Polly standing there with her favorite bracelet hanging from her fingers.
"So Piper, today's the big day. Are you excited?" Polly asked while letting herself into the apartment. "Very. I'm sure she is too." said Piper, gesturing for her to sit down on the couch. "What time do you want to leave? I still have to do my makeup."
"We can leave as early as 8 if you're ready by then. It takes about 40 minutes to get to Litchfield if I remember correctly. The first few times I visited you, Pipes, I was very late because I underestimated the traffic. I did get pretty well by the end of your sentence though."
"8 sounds great. You can wait here, turn on the TV if you want, I'm going to finish getting ready." Piper said, already walking to the bathroom.
Polly reached for the TV remote but then stopped. She saw something out of the corner of her eye. She got up and walked over to Piper's big coat that she had always secretly considered hideous. There were corners of paper sticking out of one of the pockets. She took them out and instantly realized Piper had lied. "Almost done." Piper called from the other room. She quickly put the papers back and sat down on the couch. She would bring them up later. For now, she couldn't spoil Piper's big day.
She strutted back out into the living room and made a ridiculous pose. "How do I look?" Polly just laughed "You look great Piper. Really great. She'll be so happy to see you." "I'm sure she'd be happier if I wasn't wearing anything." Piper said with a wink. "Oh god." Polly said. "Are you ready to go?" "As ready as I'll ever be" Piper said.
They were soon driving off to Litchfield Federal Prison. The prison that Piper was kept in for 15 months. The prison that had basically killed her mother. And of course, the prison that Alex Vause was to be released from today at 9 o'clock.
