Bonnie stood frozen holding Wes before he broke the silence.
"I always believed my mother committed suicide, but before I enrolled in law school I found a copy of my adoption records. It listed my biological mother on them." Wes said pulling away from Bonnie.
"Annalise doesn't have any children. If she did I would know about it." Bonnie said unable to get the text out of her mind.
"Why are you so damn sure that I am not her son?" Wes asked his voice filled with despair and grieve.
"Because at the time Annalise would have been pregnant with you. She and I were close." Bonnie says trying to remain her composure.
"Close enough to know who she was sleeping with." Wes said growing frustrated.
"Look she is not your mother. I don't know who your biological mother is but we also have a bigger problem to deal with. We don't know who murdered Annalise." Bonnie said finally letting her tears fall.
"Bonnie, the police will find who did this." Wes says laying the hair brush back on the nightstand.
"There was almost no evidence at the scene. Annalise was so badly beaten she was almost unrecognizable." Bonnie said taking a seat on the bed.
"So this was personal." Wes said taking a seat beside Bonnie.
"It appears so. I should go home. I have a meeting tomorrow." Bonnie said still unable to leave the bed.
"Bonnie, I think you should stay here. I know you and Annalise were close. I think she would want you here." Wes said wrapping his arms around Bonnie before leaving the room without the brush.
"Wes, wait a minute." Bonnie said stopping Wes outside the door.
"What is it?" Wes asked heading back inside the door.
"She cared about you Wes. I know you've been wondering and she did. Believe it or not there was a time that she would have told you how she felt." Bonnie said taking a breath.
"How did you two meet?" Wes asked.
"It was on the train. The downtown train." Bonnie says. "Back when she called herself Anna Mae."
Bonnie sat there in the silence and began to remember the early days of her relationship with Annalise.
Flashback Train station twenty five years ago.
Bonnie Winterbottom entered the train early that morning to get to her first law class that morning. It was early so early that it was barely light outside.
Anna Mae was entered the train behind her and was looking very studious with her head buried in her books. When the train pulls out from the station, Bonnie slips and falls into Anna Mae.
"Oh I'm sorry." Bonnie says awkwardly pulling away from Annalise/Anna Mae.
Anna Mae notices her awkwardness and can't help but smile.
"Hey it's fine. I needed a break anyway." Anna Mae said reading a book.
"You know I'm not taking this train to make friends this morning. I just want to get to class, graduate, and become a lawyer so I never have to go back to that rat hole of a home town I come from." Bonnie says coldly.
"Don't worry with an attitude like that you won't make any friends." Anna Mae says moving closer.
"I'm sorry ok it's just my first day of law school and I can be a little bit rude sometimes. I'm sorry." Bonnie said whining.
"Look I get it but if you want to be a good Lawyer then you need to stop whining and apologizing every time you think you did something wrong. Sometimes you have to do and say things that are not polite in order to do your job." Anna Mae says with a now firm tone.
Bonnie stands there in shock for a few moments until Anna Mae cracks a smile.
"Look at your face. You really need to learn the difference between who you want to be in the courtroom verses who you are when you ride the train on your way to class." Anna Mae says taking Bonnie's arm and leading her from the train.
"Where are we going" Bonnie asks growing more curious.
"We are going to class I thought." Anna Mae said.
"We are going to class." Bonnie said in shock.
"I sit behind you in criminology." Anna Mae said with a smirk.
"I never noticed before." Bonnie said.
"Well I had to take a few weeks off at the beginning of the year." Anna Mae said following Bonnie onto the platform.
"You know even though I wasn't looking for a friend today maybe I found one accidently." Bonnie smiled.
"Don't get too attached. I've been known to disappear." Anna Mae smiles.
"Why would you want to disappear?" Bonnie asks.
"Sometimes, bad things happen and things get messy. When they get messy, the only place you can go is into the shadows. To protect yourself and the ones around you." Anna Mae says growing serious for a moment.
"What is the best way to disappear?" Bonnie asks.
"Faking your death is the best way to disappear. I mean no one looks for a dead woman." Anna Mae says.
Back to present.
"You are saying Annalise used to disappear for weeks." Wes said getting lost in thought.
"I've said too much already." Bonnie says trying to downplay what she said.
"Are you saying Annalise could have simply disappeared, but you saw her body." Wes said growing more curious.
"When I got here she was in the floor but I was ushered into the living room while the paramedics took her out and she died in the ambulance." Bonnie said trying to get the image of Annalise out of her mind.
"So it is possible that she could have had some sort of plan in motion." Wes said desperate for Annalise to be alive.
"You really believe she could be your mother. Don't you?" Bonnie asked.
"Yes I do. Are you sure that it was her body in the doorway when you came in and found her?" Wes asked growing frustrated.
"Trust me no one would know Annalise's body better than me." Bonnie said before she realized what she had said.
"How would you know her body?" Wes asked puzzled.
"Annalise and I were…" Bonnie was cut off by a loud crash from downstairs.
Cut Too
Interior Private Hospital Room
A very much alive Annalise is laying in bed connected to many machines. Her face is badly beaten and she looks very frail. Dr. Cook comes in and begins to check her vitals.
"Will I live Maria?" Annalise asks her doctor/friend.
"It looks like you will pull through but you are still critical. I will not allow you to compromise your life by looking for the person who did this to you." Dr. Cook says.
"I'm going to disappear this time Maria. I'm done with all of it the cases, the students. I just want to disappear." Annalise says closing her eyes.
"So you're finally done. This one beating finally did you in. The infamous Annalise Keating is walking away from everything she has built." Maria says taking a seat next to Annalise's bed.
"I can't do it anymore." Annalise said not sounding like herself.
"What about Bonnie?" Maria asks.
"What about her?" Annalise asks very coldly.
"If I remember correctly, you always said when you disappeared for good she would have the option of going with you." Maria said.
"Things change." Annalise said as a tear fell down her bruised face.
Cut to Annalise's foyer.
Bonnie and Wes get to the bottom of the stairs to find the police waiting with a search warrant.
"Excuse me what are you doing here?" Bonnie asked.
"We have a warrant to arrest Wesley Gibbins for the murder of Annalise Keating and Rebecca Sutter." The detective said handcuffing Wes.
"Wait Rebecca is dead." Wes said in shock as the detective began to pull out his cuffs.
"Yes her throat was cut but you knew that already." The detective said.
"This is ridiculous. You have absolutely no evidence to arrest Wes for these murders." Bonnie says reading through the warrant.
"We found Rebecca's body in the woods a few blocks away from Mr. Gibbins apartment and the knife used to kill Annalise Keating was found in the dumpster at a local restaurant with Mr. Gibbins fingerprints on it." The detective said leading Wes out of the door.
"Wes don't say anything without a warrant." Bonnie says pulling out her cellphone.
Cut to….
Annalise's hospital room
Maria stands up and takes Annalise's hand in hers.
"You should have told her Annalise. You should have told her everything back then Annalise. You should have told her about the baby. You should have told her what happened to you. Then maybe things could have been different." Maria said feeling helpless.
"Well it is too late now and it's too late to make it right so the only thing left to do is disappear. Alone Maria." Annalise coughs closing her eyes for a few moments.
Maria's phone rings.
"Dr. Maria Cook. Can I help you." Maria asks.
"Hey, Maria its Bonnie. I need your help. I need you to run a DNA test for me." Bonnie pleads.
"Ok, I can do that for you and I think you should bring it to me yourself at the hospital." Maria says hoping Bonnie will run into Annalise at the hospital.
"I will be down there as soon as I can. Did you hear about Annalise?" Bonnie asked trying to remain composed.
"Yes, I heard about it. I am so sorry Bonnie I know this can't be easy for you." Maria says leaving Annalise's room.
"I keep waiting for her to come back through the door. You know like before." Bonnie says wimpering.
"Bonnie just meet me at the hospital in an hour. Ok" Maria says hanging up.
Maria reenters Annalise's room preparing herself for the fight of a lifetime to convince Annalise that she needed to give Bonnie the chance to go with her.
"Annalise, you need to tell Bonnie the truth." Maria didn't realize she was pleading.
"No, I told you I'm leaving." Annalise says coldly.
"So you're leaving again. Well she should be used to it by now. It's not like you haven't done it before." Maria yells storming out.
Flashback Annalise's College Loft
Annalise had been gone for several hours but had somehow managed to return to the loft before Bonnie. She was sitting in the bay window alone in her bathrobe drinking a glass of wine waiting for Bonnie to come home.
Bonnie came in the door and dropped her shoes and bags at the door unable to hide her smile at the thought of Annalise being home.
"Annalise, hey are you home?" Bonnie asked entering the living room.
"Bonnie, glad to see you made it home." Annalise said handing Bonnie her glass of wine.
"Thanks, I'm just glad you were here when I got here." Bonnie said sipping the wine.
"Bonnie there is something I have to tell you." Annalise said rising from the window.
"Can't we just sit here for a minute? I mean we haven't seen each other in six months." Bonnie says leaning in to kiss Annalise's shoulder that was slightly exposed.
"Bonnie, it's over." Annalise said pulling away violently.
"What are you talking about?" Bonnie asked coming out of her state of shock.
"I'm going to marry Sam." Annalise said firmly.
"How can you do this to me Annalise to us." Bonnie pleaded.
"Bonnie, you know that you and I were a means to an end." Annalise said coldly.
"You're lying we were in love. Annalise we are in love." Bonnie cried reaching out for Annalise.
"No you were an experiment and now the experiment is over." Annalise said carrying out Bonnie's bags.
"So now you are just going to toss me out like the trash." Bonnie screams.
"This is my house and you are no longer invited to be here. Get the hell out." Annalise yells.
Bonnie picks up the glass of wine and throws it at Annalise.
"I will never forgive you for this." Bonnie yells storming out of the door.
"Good." Annalise said allowing a tear fall down her face.
Back to present…
Annalise wipe a small tear from her eye.
"I'm sorry Bonnie." Annalise cried.
Bonnie received a text from Maria asking her to meet her in this room in the hospital. Bonnie never expected to see Annalise laying in that bed behind the door.
"Sorry for what Anna?" Bonnie asked with tears falling down her face.
