Home Sweet Home [PLL]

Whirly Girlie

The girls had managed to get from New York back to Rosewood, the final part of their journey being on a bus. Five out of six of them had got off the bus, but Ali then stopped before she stepped down onto the pavement across the road from the Rosewood Police Department

"Ali, are you okay?" Hanna asked her

The blonde turned around, about to get back on the bus but Emily grabbed her arm "Stop. You don't need to run anymore. A is gone. Come on."

Ali reluctantly stepped off the bus and looked around "Ali, look... we talked about this." Spencer said "You know it's the right decision"

"Maybe I should go home first... speak to my mum." Ali said

"Ali, your mother buried you." Emily replied 

"Look, I think it's more important that the police know you're alive before your mum does." Lily suggested 

"Hey, yeah." Emily nodded "You need to walk in there and tell them everything. I mean, about Mona being A, Shana taking over where Mona left off... all of it. Start with the night that you ran away." 

"No." Spencer said "Before that you have to start with the Jenna thing." 

"Wait, what? Why?" Hanna asked 

"She has to. Shana was after us for payback for what happened to Jenna." She explained 

"I can't do this. I can't." Ali whimpered

"You can. Okay, you're not in this alone. A tortured all of us, and what happened to Shana-"

"Happened because of me." Aria nodded "And I can handle that part. I think. But, Ali, look, you're gonna have to cover the rest." 

"Ali." Spencer said "Are we in agreement?"

Ali nodded and they slowly began to walk towards the building "Don't worry," Emily said quietly "it'll be fine"

"Besides, Lily's sleeping with a cop so that'll help" Hanna joked

"I haven't even slept with him yet" She laughed and they opened the doors. Lily at the front led them into the main receptions where she spotted Gabe through a glass window

Gabe walked out of the room he was in and walked towards them "Lily"

"Hey" She smiled and walked over, letting him pull her into a tight hug. He could feel her nearly shaking in his arms so he held her even tighter

"You okay?" He asked quietly

"Yeah" She nodded and pulled away, turning to look at her friends behind her

"Is that-"

"Alison" She finished with a nod

Gabe stepped away from her and walked towards Alison  "I know who you are. I'm glad you're with your friends. Welcome home. I'm guessing you have a lot to tell me. Maybe we can begin with the night that you disappeared."

"I didn't disappear." Ali said "I was kidnapped. I was kidnapped and held hostage for two years, and if it weren't for my friends, I wouldn't be standing here. They saved my life."

"Okay, come on" Gabe said and gestured to one of the interrogation rooms. The five other girls sat across one side of the room while Ali and Holbrook sat at the table. Gabe had a file of things with him and he pulled out a photo which he showed to Ali, and it was of the six of them the night they had seen her in Spencer's garden "We don't know who took this photo, but it is dated, so I'm assuming this wasn't your first visit home. You have any memory of this night?" 

"It was the night that I got away from him." Ali said 

"From your captor?" She nodded "How?" 

"I jumped out of the car." She said
