"Why isn't she out yet? She should have been out 10 minutes ago. Maybe she's hurt. Oh my god what did they do to her." Piper asks while constantly standing up, pacing the room, and sitting back down. "Piper, It's okay. Remember when I picked you up? You took an extra 20 minutes just saying goodbye to all your friends. I'm sure Alex is doing the same." Polly said, but she knew that Pipers' worry wasn't all because Alex was still in there. She's back at the place that gave her hell for over a year of her life. She was afraid that they somehow could just lock her up again, even though she's been out for many years.
Polly made Piper sit down, and then she decided to let her get all of the crazy muttering out of her system. She just sat back and pulled out the magazine she brought after assuming that Piper would act this way. Instead of reading, however, she thought back to the day, many years ago, that she picked Piper up.
Oh my god. Where is she? Polly thought while sitting in the waiting room. Maybe she got in trouble for something. Maybe her good time was taken away. Maybe Larry visited her and she got so angry she hurt him and now she's in Max. Polly wished she had never married Larry.
Finally from the door in the corner she saw Piper come running out and they had the greatest, most emotional hug they have ever had. Polly lead her to the entrance, the one part of the prison that Piper wasn't able to visit daily during her time.
While walking the long road leading up to the prison, Piper turned back and waved sadly at all the friends she had made. The only thing she ever said was good about prison, was all of the people she met. Polly eventually forced her to keep walking and say goodbye. They got in the car and drove silently all the way home.
Suddenly Piper jolted up. From the door in corner that she had come out of so many years earlier, the love of her life emerged. They made eye contact, and Piper's heart melted. They began to run towards each other, and Polly later said that it was just like one of the romantic movies when the two lovers finally meet and they have the cheesy slow motion run.
They had a kiss so passionate they almost teared clothes off of one another. Piper pulled back and looking into her eyes with a loving grin. "I've been waiting so long to do that." "So have I." Alex replied, though a little less enthusiastically than Piper.
They began walking out of the prison on the long road had Piper walked down so many years earlier, when Alex stopped and turned around. She looked sadly at all of the friends she had lived with for most of her life. Piper turned too. She saw Nicky had tears in her eyes and she laid her hand on the glass. Piper could tell she was saying goodbye to both of them. She made a small wave to all of her friends she knew during her sentence, and all of the new ones Alex had talked about when they had visitation.
Alex stood there for awhile. Thinking back on all of the memories she had in the prison. She might have been leaving it now, but those experiences would stay with her for the rest of her life. Good and bad.
She walked all of the way back to the car with Piper holding her hand. They got into the car, with both Alex and Piper sitting in the back seat, when Alex burst out crying.
AUTHORS NOTE: This is the second update this weekend, just to help get it going. I do work all week, so depending on how busy I am I will probably update once or twice a weekend, and occasionally during the week. I think I will begin including more flashbacks to compare Piper's experience of getting out, to Alex's. The chapters will probably be longer once I get more into it. Please review and tell me how you like it so far!
