Auntie Abby and Little Ali

Maddie's Heart

Alison's Pov:
I don't want to be anywhere near her. She's just as scary as mom. We get out of the car and she goes to grab my hand because we're going across the street and I flinch. I run inside as quickly as possible and run into my room and cover myself with a blanket. I cry untill I can't I just want someone to love me and not be scary. Was leaving mom even worth it if aunt abby is just the same? After a few hours of hiding under the covers  "Ali you have to get changed. " maddie says coming into the room "Ms. Abby wants you in pjs " she adds i get up and change my clothes and go right back to my bed "Good night Ali and Maddie " auntie comes in and says sounding sad
Abby's Pov:
my heart feels broken, how could she hate me. Maybe I was too hard on them. But they scared the hell out of me. I didn't think i was ever gonna see them again for a split second and that was terrifying.
Maddie's Pov:
I go and try and lay next to ms. abby but its like she resents me "Maddie not now. " she says "Can you please go lay in your bed " she insists i sigh I feel really sad. I thought the walk to the candy store would get me exactly what i wanted. Ms. Abby would be mad at alison and that would drive me right into her arms. But instead alison is hiding and we can't play. And Ms.Abby is angrier then ever. I sigh. I climb into my bed and fall asleep.
- A few hours later-
I wake to hear someone crying. I spring up I look down to see alison hysterically crying. i climb down the ladder and go to sit in the bed with her "No! Maddie! You can-" she says too slow i sit and feel wet. she cries harder. I realize why the bed is wet, kenzie bed is sometimes wet when I go grab her out in the morning if mommy is busy. I know what to do."Ali It's okay ill help you. " i say "Don't get auntie please! she might yell again! " she says scared i go over to her suitcase and grab a new set of pjs "Maddie I forgot to put a pull up on " she cries "It's okay Alison It's happened to me before too" i say trying my hardest to cheer her up I hand her the clothes. "Go change and you can sleep with me! " i offer "What about my bed? " she worries "well the maid will make our beds tomorrow and change it so we don't have to tell Ms. Abby at all! " i assure her she nods "Thanks maddie your a good friend " she says I go lay in bed and suddenly feel terrible for what i did to her earlier that day. As she lays next to me and falls asleep I feel like there's a basketball in my stomach. I feel so gulity. I finally fall asleep when all of a sudden I hear "Madison Alison it's time to get up! " Ms. Abby says i groan being exhausted from spending the night think about what I did "Girls why does it smell like pee in here? " she says bluntly alison and I look at each other. "Girls! " she says impatiently "It wa-" ali begins to say "It was me!" i cut her off knowing how embarrassed she was. "Good one maddie I know it's alison's bed. " she says skeptically "yeah... Ali and I switched last night she wanted to sleep on the top. " i lie "Madison why did you pee the bed? " she asks "I don't know. It was an accident " i keep my story going "Madison you know better! Did you clean yourself at least? " she asks "Yeah. " i reply "Okay then you both need to get up its time to go " she demands "Okay." i say Alison and I get off the bed and go to our suitcases getting changed. We both change and get in the car. ms.abby still trying to get close to ali and ali is still telling her without words to back off. Once we get to the conference room this time we see a young girl with black hair in a sweater and a plaid skirt sitting waiting for us. "Girls! This is Maryanne she is your babysitter " Ms.Abby says ali immediately goes to the back of the room. "Alison you need to atleast say Hi" Ms.Abby demands but she doesn't she sits with her head between her legs. "Alison! " she says losing her patience and instead of this making the situation better alison gets up hysterically crying goes into the bathroom and locks it. "Whatever! " abby says storming out. I go over to the bathroom and bang on the door. "Ali?" i say "yeah" she says in tears "It's okay. Just come out. " i say "N-no " she says i go and lay over on the couch with my ipad. I get bored quickly. I go back over to the bathroom now needing her to get out. i knock "Ali! " i say "I gotta go" i insist she comes out and goes in the corner of the room. I go to the bathroom and then decide this has gone far enough. "Alison im gonna tell Ms. Abby this is my fault. " i admit "no. It doesn't matter. She treated me just like my mom... " ali admits "Ms.abby is nice we just scared her! " i admit "Maddie no shes mom" she says adamantly
-A few hours pass by-
"Maddie ali come on let's go" abby says we both follow. ali as far behind abby as possible. We get in the car. "Sir can you please take us to rockafeller center " Ms.Abby instructs "Im going to take you two to the christmas tree. I do not want you guys to miss out because of the bad decision you guys made. " she explains "especially since alison has never seen it " she adds I nod my head but ali just sits there and doesn't say anything. I feel fully responsible for her not being happy. "Ali the christmas tree is so pretty! Your gonna love it " i try to say but she sits back and doesn't say anything. We get there pretty quickly. We both get out and abby holds my hand and i hold ali's. We walk up to see the christmas tree but ali is unamused which is kinda unlike her. I think its so pretty all twinkling with it's different color lights and the gorgeous star. I ask to take pictures and Ms. Abby is able to take some for me. But ali sits there quietly and doesn't interact with us. I go over to Ms. Abby and give her a hug "Thank you for taking us" i say she nods and then we leave. Ali and I sit in the hotel room together. I remember my doll is in my bag and go to pull it out of my suitcase "Ali! Can we play american girl? " i ask the first smile crosses her face since the incident. We play for alittle while then the idea hits me. "Ill be right back" i say putting down my doll. I burst into abby's room where she is scrolling on her phone. "Ms. Abby! " i say excitedly "Mad? " she seems confused "I have an idea" i say still excited "Well your kinda grounded for yesterday but what is it" she asks acceptingly "Well that was my fault. I made ali do that. I was the one " i confess "Madison! You what! " she gets mad i nod "Look im really sorry. I should have known better..." i admit "Yes! You should have! Maddie how could you be so dumb and drag alison into it! I can get in big trouble for what you guys did by your mom and the courts! I could have lost alison! Stupid! " she yells i get upset and tears form in my eyes i begin to walk back to my room and forget the idea "Wait. Mads don't cry. Do you know how big of a mistake that was? " she softens i nod with tears falling down my face "Okay. Well with that being said you lost enough im not gonna yell at you too. " she says i nod stopping myself "Now what was your idea" she asks "Um... " i hesitate i go towards her careful to make sure alison can't hear "Can we please bring alison to get an american girl doll?" i ask "Please pretty please I know im in trouble and don't have to get anything! but she doesn't have one and shes its almost her birthday and christmas! can we just go and show her and get her a doll pleaseeeeee " i ramble looking at ms. abby's face scared of the answer "Maddie I think that's a really nice idea. " she says "Why don't we go now! " she says with alittle excitement "Get your coat and tell ali to get ready too. " she adds i nod and run back to the room "Ali!" i say excited "Get your coat on! were going out " i say trying to keep the surprise she nods putting her doll down. we walk into abby's room "Maddie can you please go into your room a second i need to speak to ali" ms. abby politely requests i nod going back toward the room
Ali's Pov:
My body trembles when maddie leaves the room. I really am afraid out her. "Look ali Im really sorry for yelling at you" Auntie says "I shouldn't have not believed you. " she admits I want to believe her but my head tells me not to. I have been told before people are sorry but then they do it again. i nod "I understand if your upset with me for yelling. " she adds but there is nothing i have to say there's a silence from me not wanting to talk. My body is hot and I am so scared. "Alright I just wanted to tell you that. Let's go. " she says i nod "Maddie come on! " she says maddie comes out and we get in the car. I have no idea where were going because maddie held my ears while auntie told the driver. Im sweating in fear. I feel like my heart is gonna explode and i can't breathe. I try to act like everything is okay. Before my body can get anymore worked up the car stops. I see a big red sign and maddie takes my hand and runs inside. "Look ali!" she says excitedly and as soon as we walk inside my body calms down i know where we are. There are dolls everywhere doing different things. The color are so bright and it is so cool. "Welcome to the american girl store ali! It was maddie's idea." auntie says i smile at maddie and take her hand. Maddie and I go around look at all the different dolls. We go and choose different dolls to play with. "Okay next surprise! Alison you can go and pick one doll and two things that you would like" aunt abby says "really?!?" i say i get so excited im jumping up and down "Yes" she confirms "Go head pick someone out " she urges maddie and i go around looking for the perfect doll. We find a doll that looks just like me with blonde hair and blue eyes. "I want this one " i say picking up the box and showing auntie she nods and smiles "She looks just like you! " she points out i smile and nod "Okay go ahead pick out your other two things! whatever you want " she says i smile i walk around looking for two toys i really want. I settle on a ballet outfit for my doll. As well as a pair of pjs for my doll. i hand the two boxes to auntie "That's it? " she says surprised i nod "Are you sure no bed or anything? " she asks i nod "Okay you can pick one more thing" she adds i smile and then i think of maddie who has been so helpful and not even asked for a single thing. "can maddie have my one thing? " i ask politely "I guess that's fine. She has been very mature about this." Auntie agrees maddie smiles really big hugging me "Thank you alison! " she says squeezing me We go looking for something for maddie and maddie picks out the same pj set as me. "so we can match! " she says excited we bring them to auntie and before long she pays and we leave the store with a big red bag. It's snowing really hard. All of a sudden the hot feeling comes back to my body as we go into the car.
