Alison's POV

It's time. Now. I know what I need to do and I know the consequences.

I'm going to start with a giant leap, for me anyways. I'm not going to waltz right back to Rosewood with a smile and a wave, it's not that simple. I know who I'm going back for, and first things first, I need to know if they even want me back there.

I scramble around my apartment and find the phonebook, containing the contact details for residents of Rosewood. I know mine is old, but hopefully it's still useful right?

Fingers fumbling against the pages, I'm trying to calm my breathing. Can I do this?

I search and search, eyes wandering to find the letter "F", looking for the one name.

The name that works its way through my head 24 hours a day.

My heart skips a beat as my fingers run over the paper, "Emily Fields".

It's a mobile number, which isn't surprising. Having had to purchase a new phone the other month, I lost all my contacts. I felt like that was my last hope at connection with my friends, my family, my Emily.

I pick up my phone to unlock it, going straight to contacts. Do I call? Text? What if she blocks my number and I haven't been able to hear her voice first?

With one hand trembling and the other hovering over "Call", I know what I need to do.

I press the icon and lift the phone to my ear, my mouth dry, breathing reckless and body shaking.

It rings twice, whilst I debate whether or not to end, was this a bad idea? Am I going to regret this? She isn't going to answer, is she?

I clear my throat as I hear someone pick up;

"Hello?"
