Hi everyone! I'm so sorry for this long hiatus...I was very busy, and I didn't have the inspiration and ideas to continue the story, but I finally found something! :) I hope you will like this chapter! Thank you so much for all your reviews, it means a lot to me! Enjoy :)
Today is the first day of come back for Alison. She has an appointment with the headmaster this morning. Alison is a little stressed, she doesn't know how people will react when they will see her in the flesh, and it scares her. When they are ready, Jessica drive them to High School. Before they get out off the car, Jessica decides to say a few words to Alison, since she sees that Alison is a little stressed.
She begins "Alison, don't be worried. Everything will be fine. Maybe a lot of people are mad at you for what you did in the past, but as soon as they will see how different and better you are, they will forgive you. Be youself, and apologize to the people you hurt.".
Alison nods and smiles "It was planned. I will apologize to everyone, don't worry.". As soon as they get out of the car, each person who see Alison do the exact same face, like if they have seen a ghost. Alison hates that, because she knows she will be the center of the attentions today. She liked this before she disappeared, but she doesn't like that anymore. She knows everyone will ask her what happened, and she doesn't want to explain the whole story. It is an interminable and unending walk to the the headmaster's office. Alison hopes she will see some familiar face like Emily but they are in a period. The appointment lasts during several minutes. The headmaster wants some explanations about what happened, and Alison and Jessica have to answer. Alison doesn't explains all the details, she explains just why she was forced to hide all this time and why she had to fake her death. Mr. Hackett tells Alison she can be in senior year like the other girls, and that she starts school tomorrow. He also gives her all the books she needs and a locker. Alison and her mother thanks him for letting Alison come back to Rosewood High School. When the appointment is over, the two girls get out of the office. In the corridors, Alison sees the girls.
Alison asks Jessica "Mom, do you mind if I speak to the girls a few minutes? I will put my books in my locker and tell the new to the girls.".
Jessica smiles "Sure, no problem. I will wait in the car." and goes outside in direction to her car. Alison goes in direction to the girls.
When the girls see Alison, they walk towards her with a smile. Alison says hi to everyone and gives Emily a quick kiss on the lips.
Seeing that everyone is looking at Alison and Emily, Aria begins "Ali, you will have to deal with everyone staring at you like if you were a ghost...".
Alison answers a little sadly "I know...I'm sick of this, but I understand them. Techniquelly, I am a ghost, they thought I was dead, but surprise! I am not...". All the girls laugh by hearing this.
Spencer teases Alison "I thought you liked being the center of the world. I mean, you weren't queen Bee for nothing...".
Alison feels bad thinking about her past behaviour "And I am not proud of that period of my life...It was that bad?" she asked concerned.
Spencer answers "We can say you weren't the nicest person in the world. But it's fine Ali, we all know how much you have changed during your disappearance.".
Alison replies with sincerity "I hope you will not be the only ones to see that.".
Hanna tries to change the subject of the conversation to slow down the appeared tensions "I'm pretty sure we did this same faces when we saw you at Ravenswood at Halloween.".
Alison smiles "Yeah...It was quite funny to see you gazing at me like if I was a ghost.".
Emily looks at Alison "I think "funny" isn't the good word to describe the situation Ali...Imagine the inverse situation, how would you react if you see someone supposed to be dead?".
Alison replies, regretful for what she said a few seconds ago "You knew I was alive before you saw me.".
Spencer decides to answer "We SUSPECTED you to be alive, we weren't sure. It's not the same thing.".
Alison explains "What I meant is that you were mentally prepared to see me, contrary to everyone here. I'm sorry if I said something wrong.".
Emily smiles and takes Alison's hand "It's okay Ali, don't worry.".
Emily asks Alison, a litte concerned "What happened with Hackett?".
Alison replies with a smile "He said I can be in senior year like you, I start tomorrow.".
The girls smile "That's great Ali!" says Aria.
Hanna teases Alison "I'm sure you didn't missed school...".
Alison laughs "Not really.".
Spencer says after watching her watch "I don't like to interrupt things, but we have to go, next period will start in less than five minutes.".
Alison replies "I have to go too, my mum is waiting for me in the car." and gives a last kiss to Emily.
Just after the kiss, seeing that everyone is watching at them, Emily reassures Alison by cupping her face and by caressing her face with her thumbs "It's okay, Ali. Don't look at them.".
Hanna teases the two girls "Emily, you were with Paige less than a week ago. They are surprised, that's all. It's a lot to take in for a day.".
Emily feels bad "Thanks for reminding me the biggest mistake of my life...".
Hanna feels guilty "Sorry, Em. I didn't mean that. Anyway, we really have to go if we don't want to be late...". Emily and Alison nods. The girls say bye to Alison and go to class while Alison returns to her mom's car.
2 hours later, after Alison and Jessica went to a mail to buy Alison some stuff for school and some food, they were cooking in the kitchen.
Alison breaks the silence, she wants some answers "Mom...I know I asked you that yesterday, and you told me you couldn't answer me for my own good, but please, I need to know. Who hit me with this stone?".
Jessica looks her daughter in the eyes "I told you this for a good reason. If I tell you the truth, it will destroy our family.".
Alison insists "Mom...please! I deserve the truth.".
Alison's mother gives up "Fine! It's your brother! Jason is the one who hit you.".
As soon as Alison hears the truth, she seems confused and devastated "Why would he do that? It doesn't make sense!".
Jessica tries to calm down her daughter "He doesn't remember anything of that night! he were totally stoned.".
Alison wants more explanations "Does he know what he did to me?".
Jessica answers with sincerity "Yes, I told him, but promise me you will not tell anyone. He could go in jail for what he did to you.".
Alison nods, still shocked "Yeah...Sure. But I need to talk to him about that.".
Alison's mother informs her "He will come with your dad this afternoon in order to see you. Like you know, your dad and I will divorce soon, but I asked him to be there for you. We will all eat together this evening.".
Alison tries to comfort her mother "I'm sorry for the way things are going between you and dad...".
Jessica appreciates her daughter's concern "Thanks, honey, but it's not your problem, don't worry about that. I think I should be sorry for what I did to you. I hope you understand that I would never buried you if I knew you were alive. I panicked, I asked Peter some help. Like you should know, our families are...close. The only way to protect Jason was to tell anyone about him hitting you with that stone. If I would take you at the hospital, they would see the scar on your forehead. It was easier if you were...disappeared. You don't know how much I regret what I have done to you...".
Alison is confused and surprised "Wait...Peter knows the truth? He knows the whole story? What about Spencer? Who else knows?".
Jessica doesn't have other choice than telling the truth "Yes, I told him because like you probably know, Peter is Jason's dad, he is concerned about him. He wanted to protect his son. Veronica and Spencer don't know about that, and they can't know. Please, Alison, I'm serious, don't tell anyone, even the girls, it's very important. I'm sure you don't want your brother to go in jail for something he doesn't remember.".
Alison nods "I promise I won't tell anyone. And, I know you didn't want to hurt me and you did all this in order to protect Jason. I forgive you, but I need some time to be completely okay with what happened.".
Her mother understands "Of course, honey, I understand. I will let you all the time you need.".
Alison puts her mom into a hug "Thanks, mom.".
After the hug, Jessica finishes "I forgot to tell you, if you want to invite Emily for the dinner, you can. Is that right that Emily is alone in her house?".
Alison smiles "Yes, they left the town this morning, they decided to take a few weeks of respite away from Rosewood. I will ask her if she wants to come.". Alison takes her phone in order to send a text to Emily "Hey :) How is school?"
Emily answers a few seconds later "Hi! :) Boring...as usual. Thinking about you xoxo"
Alison replies, smiling at herself "Thinking about you too xoxo. My dad and Jason will come this afternoon in order to see me. We will all dinner together, my mom asked if you would like to come.".
After seeing Alison smiling to herself, Jessica teases her daughter "It looks like someone is totally in love.".
Alison laughs and smiles "Yes, mom, I am really in love with her.". Jessica smiles before continuing cooking, while Alison reads Emily's answer "Would you like me to come? I don't want to impose myself. I totally understand if you want a dinner alone with your family :)".
Alison replies "Of course I would like you to come :) don't worry about that, I will see them this afternoon before the dinner. Can you tell the girls I can't come with you after school? I'm very sorry...xoxo".
Emily answers a moment later, a little stressed about the dinner even if she knows Alison's family. She doesn't want to screw up the dinner and she wants to give a good impression to Alison's family "Sure :) don't worry, I'm sure they will understand. And very tough question : How should I dress? xoxo".
Alison finds cute the fact that Emily is stressed. Alison thinks she doesn't have to be worried, she is the kindest and the nicest person in the world. There is no reason her family will not accept her girlfriend "You look beautiful in every clothes :) You can wear whatever you want xoxo.".
Emily answers back immediately because her period is very boring "Ahah I'm not so sure but thanks :) See you tonight Xx".
Alison replies her girlfriend, trying to calm her down "I am sure :) See you tonight xX and don't be worried it will be fine.".
Emily answers back "I hope so :) I love you Ali xoxo".
Alison couldn't be happier "I love you too Em xoxo".
