December 27

     Aria laid in bed and pressed Spencer's contact once again. She had called her fiancé numerous times after she left yesterday. Spencer didn't answer so the small girl threw her phone beside her and got out of bed. Her parents had work and Mike was still sleeping his Christmas break away. Aria knew that she needed to patch things up with Spencer before the new year. She didn't want to be alone, as Noel was still out there, so she got in her car and drive to Hanna's.

     Spencer opened the door to her sister's room and walked inside. Alex was staring at the wall until she saw her twin in view. She smiled at Spencer and moved to sit on the edge of the bed with her knees up to her chest. Spencer sat down on chair and slowly handed Alex a piece of paper.

Spencer "Merry Christmas."

Alex "A piece of paper? I-I don't have a pencil to draw with."

Spencer chuckled and grabbed the paper back.

Spencer "It's not to draw on. Look at it."

Spencer held the paper up for Alex to read. The younger twin stared at it blankly.

Alex "I-I see letters."

Spencer "(Sigh), I'll read it for you. 'As approved by the Rosewood courthouse, this document states that Alexandra Elizabeth Hastings will be released from Welby Sanitarium and put in the custody of Mary Drake as of December 28, 2018.'"

Alex "I-I'm leaving. Who's Mary?"

Spencer "She's the Aunt of a friend. She agreed to let you stay with her and her daughter until we turn eighteen. Then, you can live with me!"

Alex "L-live with Spencer?"

Spencer "Yeah! I've a house now, so we can live together."

     Alex smiled wide and hugged her sister.

Spencer "Get packing. Mary and I will pick you up tomorrow. I have to leave but I'll see you."

Alex "O-Okay. Th-th-Thank you."

     Spencer smiled in response and left the room. She walked back to her car and thought for a moment. She and Alex were going to live in her house, the one she was supposed to live in with Aria. The brunette wanted to patch things up with her fiancé, so she turned on the road and drove to Aria's.
