chapter forty six
if these dolls could talk
⎯⎯⎯⎯The next day, at school, Josie, Hanna, Emily and Richie were sitting outside in the courtyard during break when Spencer rushed over to them. "Guys, I figured it out." she said, as she put the pile of newspapers on the table and sat down "Alison took out a classified ad asking 'A' to meet her in brookhaven, and 'A' responded, this was going on for like a month." she said before she looked down at the newspaper, reading from it. "Look, "Dear A, what's it gonna take to end this? You need to stop A.D"" she said before handing it over to Aria. ""Hey desperately seeking silence, who says I wanna end this? A." Spencer spoke, reading another message in a newspaper.
"Let me see that." Josie said, and Spencer handed it over, and she and Richie read over the message in the paper. "What's this one?" Emily said, taking a newspaper from the pile of old newspapers. "It's the last paper before Labor day weekend." Spencer answered. "Alison was set to meet 'A' at 235 Spruce Street." she added. "Why do I know that street?" Aria asked. "Because we walked on it." Hanna answered. "The creepy doll hospital?" Josie asked and Hanna nodded as Aria took a look at the newspaper she had.
"Guys." Emily said, looking at something behind Aria, making them all turn to see Jenna, arm-in-arm with Toby. "She took off the bandage." Spencer whispered. Aria turned to her friends. "She's not using the stick." she said. "Why is she still wearing the shades?" Hanna asked. "Hanna, stop staring." Emily whispered to her from across the table before Aria and Josie handed the newspapers back to Spencer as they noticed Jenna was coming toward them, Emily hid the newspapers between her and Richie.
"Are they all here?" they heard Jenna ask Toby. "Yes," he answered. "Thanks, Toby. I'll meet you inside." Jenna said once she had reached the table and Toby gave Spencer one last look before leaving. Jenna carefully sat next to Aria, who moved so she could sit. "Sorry to interrupt." Jenna spoke. "Can you see or not?" Hanna asked bluntly, making Josie look at her. "Hanna," she hissed, making Hanna turn to her and shrug. Jenna shook her head.
"Wait, the surgery didn't..." Richie trailed off, "No, it didn't." Jenna said, cutting off his sentence, making him frown. "I went in knowing the odds, so I can't be shocked." she added. "The funny thing is, I woke up this morning and, uh..." she paused. "I could see clearly, just not with my eyes." she finished. "You could have left me in that smoky room, Hanna, but you... you didn't." she added. "Instead, you, you saved my life." she said shakily, almost crying. "And it made me realize that people can grow." Jenna continued. "So now it's my turn and that's why I'm here, I'm here to, to apologize and to let go of the, the anger that's been holding me back, so can we just please ... .move on?" she asked before she wiped a tear that had fallen.
"What exactly are you apologizing for Jenna?" Emily asked. "For holding a grudge and, uh... for hating you." she answered and everyone was silent, they didn't know what to say. "We've all done things that we're not proud of, I know what you think of me, but you're wrong" Jenna spoke up. "I've never been the person you really needed to fear." She continued, making the girls share a look as Richie held Josie's hand as Jenna got up from her seat, before pulling out the walking stick and unfolded it before walking away.
