Auntie Abby and Little Ali

Ms Sasha

Ms. Lorries P0v:
"We have a little girl named Alison and to say the least she has had a rough year. She has been very sick and has a lot of medical issues due to anxiety and so she isnt here much " i explain to Ms. Sasha "With this being said she is going to be your main priority when your here. I have extra math and ela practice for her. Anytime were not doing a lesson you can take her in the back and do extra practice with her. She also has some behaviors due to her feeling like she's so behind so I do believe this might help with that as well. " i add "Okay. What is she like? " she asks "She's extremely sweet she just has alot going on in her life a custody battle, her mom kiddnapped her from her aunt on Christmas and she has a lot of anxiety as far as being here and being away from her aunt" i continue to explain. I see the kids walking in the door "You can put your coat down on the back table and that can be your space" i instruct "Ill point out alison when she walks in so you can meet her. I would even just take her and play with her so she gets familiar with you" i suggest sasha nods
Alison's Pov:
Another day of school but today is different it's my last day of being five tomorrow is my sixth birthday and although im not very excited i want to try and be for auntie who is clearly very excited for this. I walk into school putting down my backpack to see Ms. Lorrie walking up to me with a lady with blonde curly hair, blue green eyes and a sweet face. Shes wearing a blue sweater dress and tights and boots and seems super nice. "Good Morning Alison" Ms. Lorrie says i quickly rummage through my backpack to find my folder and get out my homework i hand it over to her with pride and then glance at the rip that auntie fixed and get scared "im sorry i ripped it " i say in a small voice her eyes get big and she smiles so big "YOU DID THIS? " Ms. Lorrie says excitedly i nod proudly now she quickly glances at the paper "AND THERE ALL CORRECT?!? HOLY MOLY! " she says ecstatically i smile sensing that i did something right "follow me ali " she says motioning me towards her i follow her and she goes to her cabinet and grabs out a big yellow chest looking box. "This is my special treasure chest and if you have a really good day at school or do something i think was superstar worthy i will allow you to pick from it " she explains i nod "And since you did your math homework so well I think you get to pick a prize " she adds opening it i look over and start looking through it i get to the very bottom and find a little silky pink pointe shoe key chain i snatch it and hold it high "I want this please! " i say excitedly "alrighty good choice " she says smiling "are you a dancer alison ? " she asks inquisitively i nod "that's awesome honey. here " she says handing me my paper back with a sparkly sticker i smile taking it "beautiful job darling " she says i glow i take the paper to my folder and grab my backpack excitedly. I run back to the desk "Alison walking please " ms lorrie says "What do you got there " she asks "Can we put it on my bookbag " i say holding my hot pink bookbag and my keychain "Yep! " she says but looks over at the other lady standing next to her "Alison this is Ms. Sasha " she gestures towards her "She can actually help you she's really nice and shell be helping in our classroom for a while " she says handing my bookbag and keychain to the women in the blue sweater. She doesn't scare me which is nice since new people make me feel sick. i nod "Is that okay? " Ms.lorrie asks getting up from her desk i nod "okay awesome " she says walking away. Ms Sasha begins to hold my bookbag and try to get my ballet slipper on the zipper " Alison it's so nice to meet you " she says in a calm voice i smile at her alittle shy to talk to her "How old are you alison? " she asks i hold up 5 fingers shyly but still okay "Your five! Thats so cool im 23!" she says friendly "Ms. Gia is 24!" i say trying to be nice "Ooh thats awesome do you like ms gia? is she your teacher?" she asks i nod "What does she teach " she says sounding really interested in this conversation "dance " i say still shyly "there you go " she says handing me back my back pack now with my keychain on it i smile "Thank you " i say before i turn to see maddie "Alison! " she says as she pulls my arm pulling me towards the kitchen set "Who was that? " maddie asks "Ms Sasha. " i tell her while i start to set up all the tea cups. "Oh. " maddie replies we begin to play until its time to start class. We start class and i sit at my desk while we review. I start to feel sad again not understanding. I put my head down on my desk getting worried and trying not to get angry this time. i start to cry wondering if ill ever feel like everyone else. i feel a tap on my shoulder i look up hiding my face. I look to see ms. sasha kneeling at the front of my desk. "Hey alison can you come back to my table?" she says gently i look at her blankly "If you want i can sit with you and help you " she suggests i nod wiping my tears reluctantly "come on princess " she says taking my hand leading me to the back of the classroom quietly she points to the seat at the back and i sit down as she puts my worksheet down in front of me. "Okay look lets take it step by step " she says so softly she breaks down the problem three different times but im still not understanding how to do it. I begin to get fustrated again and tears come to my eyes "Hey hey its okay alison take a breathe " she says in a soft patient voice but i begin to cry "Alison it's okay you don't have to get it right the first time. Sometimes even i dont understand things " she says this is new information to me "You.. you dont " i say stopping my tears "no" she assures "even adults dont always get things the first time " she says
Abby's Pov:
"Hey whatcha up to in here ? " gianna says walking into my office "Im trying to find my way around Alison coming to flordia " i tell her aimlessly scrolling the internet for hours now. "Can't you just call the court and ask?" she suggests "Well the problem is if i do that and they do say no i risk her going into foster care while im gone because they won't want me to go behind their backs " i tell her "oh boy so what now? " she asks "well.... " i say "I think if I can't get this figured out you might have to stay with her. Ill pay you the same as going to a competition... " i ask sorta "alright that's understandable. Don't you think shes gonna be a mess though? " gianna says i know that alison is not gonna be okay with this no matter how well i do it . "Yeah... but i have no choice g my contract states i have to go. " i say feeling extremely bad that i have to do this but it isn't really a choice anymore. "You guys can stay at my house atleast she will feel more comfortable there " i say starting to make the inevitable arrangements "Are you sure this is gonna be okay? " gianna asks "i have no choice g. Ill leave my credit card for food and you can take her to the store to grab a few things if she wants to get something to do or play with it whatever she wants. " i tell her "If it makes her happy just let her within reason of course " i add she nods "Isnt her birthday tomorrow? " gianna asks "Yeah so ill leave after she goes to sleep " i tell her "well do birthday after dance before everyone leaves for flordia " i explain she nods "but in the meantime im gonna keep exploring a way i can possibly get out of this " i tell her she nods
Alison's Pov:
After alot of helping Ms.Sasha and i get through my packet. I smile at her "Thank you for helping me " i tell her and decide to hug her "Aw of course alison " she says "I also like Ali" i tell her as i walk away to find maddie drawing at her desk for playtime "Ali look!

"can you help me with this?" she asks i nod sitting back down. She explains to me the difference between b and d and it's really helpful. Before the phone rings and Ms. Lorrie goes to get it.

Ms.lorrie hands me two sheets of paper "If you bring this back to me tomorrow ill give you something nice okay?

" she says hugging me back before i walk out the door.
Abby's pov:
I sit in the office and wait for alison. Im still on edge about flordia but i can't tell her because I don't know how im gonna tell her yet. i see alison walk out fairly quickly with a gaint smile on her face which is different. "Hi auntie " she says giving me a big hug i sign her out and grab her hand as we walk out the door. "how was your day" i ask "It was really good! " she says i take her to the car and we drive to Dr. Mackins office as Ali pleasantly sits in the back singing. I take her out of the car "You seem like you had a really good day baby " i say taking her out of the car I hold her tight a second before letting her down "I did! We have a new teacher! Her name is Ms. Sasha and she helped me!" she says excitedly We walk in and begin our evaluation and alison does okay. She acts very similar to how she did yesterday but some of the evaluation is her just playing. She does a small amount of time with alison where she is given a sand box and is asked to pick out figures. Alison picks out maleficent, barbie and a little kid barbie and puts it in the box. "Tell me a story! anything you want alison! " dr mackin tells her Alison uses maleficent as a figure who yells and screams at the little barbie and begins to hit her. She then tells the story of how there are kens who want to come in and play with the little kid barbie. Alison starts screaming holding little kid barbie from maleficent bring in other ken dolls to attack her. The resolution of little barbie not being with the kens and maleficent is little barbie getting rescued by adult barbie and maleficent telling little barbie she is gonna hurt her extremely badly if she ever sees her again before alison throws maleficent and all the kens away and has barbie hug little barbie. this makes me sick to watch her act out " That was a good story! you can go into the other room. There are some toys in there ill be in in just a second . " Dr.Mackin tells her ali walks over to the other room"Okay so I think she is a perfect fit for partial care program. I have paper work for you to sign and to give the school. If the school wants to have a meeting we absolutely can do that as it is not something schools normally agree with immediately. We do have a few kids coming in today in a few minutes would you like to have her try it out and you can pick her up in a little while? " Dr. Mackin says "Yeah she can try it out" i say taking the papers i go sit in a small room "I want you to atleast sit back here and see if she can handle the separation if you dont wanna leave " Dr. Mackin explains i nod starting to fill out the paper work as I hide in the room. I sit there awhile.
Alison's pov:
After I play for alittle Dr. Mackin takes me into this pink and purple brightly colored room. There are three kids waiting in there. one of the kids is playing with a blue truck and keeps running it around while making noises "Colton this is alison " Dr. Mackin says to him he has sandy blonde hair thats swept over to the side and his eyes are brown i think hes six. he waves but goes back to playing with his car "Colton has been with me the longest he loves cars " she says then she brings me over to point out another kid i see a kid playing magnet tiles like the ones we have at school. Hes wearing a purple shirt with a car on it and building a big tower "This is liam " she points to him liam has a bruise around his eye and it looks like the type mom gave me a few weeks ago "Liam this is our new friend alison "she says prompting him to say hi but he doesnt and then we go over to the little table it is marble with a blue border. There is a little girl sitting there with a box of beads and string and she looks up and smiles when she sees Dr. Mackin and I. "This is Hailey " Dr. Mackin says Hailey has green eyes and blonde hair and is wearing a pink dress. "Hailey this is Alison and she might be our new friend soon " she says "Hi! " Hailey says excited "You wanna make bracelets? " she asks me i look at Dr. Mackin "You can sit if you would like honey " she gives me the okay i sit and hang around with hailey for awhile. Hailey tells me she lives with her aunt and that her mom is gone and I tell her about my mom before Dr. Mackin tells us to sit for group it feels extremely good to tell a kid about what's been going on because i feel like she understands me. "Ali for today you're not gonna participate in group we still need to figure somethings out so you can go head and say bye" she instructs i nod "Bye everyone! " i wave they wave back but as im about to leave "Alison! Wait !" hailey says as i turn she hands me the bracelet she was making and smiles "This is for you" she says putting it on my wrist "Thank you! " i say smiling as no one has ever done something like that for me i turn and look at it as im leaving and following Dr.Mackin. I like it here its the first new place that hasnt made me feel sick. I really hope i get to come back soon.
