�Hello!� Alison was shocked to hear a voice other then Rafe�s at Livvie�s apartment.
�Kevin?! Hi�um�is Rafe there? I really need to talk to him.�
�No, he�s not here Alison. He�s staying with Lucy and me at the lighthouse.�
�Huh? What happened?�
�Well, we sent Livvie to The Sanitarium so she could get the help she needs and Rafe didn�t feel right staying here.�
�So why are you there?�
�I�m just getting some things for Livvie.�
�I�m sorry, Kevin. This must be so hard for you. Is there anything I can do?�
�No, I�m the one that�s sorry, Alison. If I just saw the signs maybe I could have helped her before she caused all this damage, especially to you.�
�Don�t beat yourself up. No one really realized or saw what was going on with Livvie. I mean I was her best friend and I never saw it coming.�
�Well, I better get these things to her. Maybe it�ll make her more comfortable while she�s there.�
�You are a good father Kevin.�
�Thanks Alison�
�Bye.� Alison hung up and decided to call the lighthouse.
The answering machine picked up. It was Kevin�s voice, �Hi you reached Kevin,� Then came Lucy�s voice, �And Lucy. We�re not in and you know what to do after the beep, Ta!�
�Hi, It�s Alison! I�m trying to get a hold of Rafe�um�could you call me when you get this? Thanks, bye!�
She put the phone back in her purse, �Oh, Livvie. What happened? If I�m going to ever put this behind me I have to confront you once and for all.�

Alison waited at the airport pick-up area, when the limo pulled up. The front passenger window went down. �Miss Barrington!�
Alison went to the window and looked in, �John, I told you, you don�t have to all me that. Call me Alison.�
John, Amanda Barrington�s new chauffer, stepped out of the limo and walked over to help Alison with her bags, �Is this all of them Miss�I�m sorry�Alison?
�Yeah that�s all of them.� She helped get the last bag in. Then John opened the back door so she could get in.
John got in and started to drive, �Thank you for picking me up, John. I know it�s your day off. I really appreciate it.�
�It�s really no problem. So, do you want to go straight home or go to the mansion first?�
�Actually, if it�s ok could we go to The Sanitarium first? I need to see an old friend.�
�You got it.�
~~~~~~~~~~
The limo pulled up in front of The Sanitarium. �Here we are!�
Alison looked out the window at the building with a dazed look, �Yeah we are.�
John turned around to talk to his passenger, �Are you going to be long?�
�No, I should be quick.�
�Alright then I�ll wait for you right here.�
Alison opened the door to get out, �Thanks.�
She went in the building and proceed to the front desk. �Hi, I�m here to visit a patient. Livvie Locke.�
The nurse looked at a chart on the desk, �Yes, Miss Locke is in the day room right now. I�ll take you there.�
�Thank you.�
Alison followed the nurse down the hall to a door. The nurse held the door open. The door must have weighted 50 pounds, Alison guessed it was so it was harder for the patients to runaway. �She�s right over there.� The nurse pointed to a row of big over sized chairs that were bolted to the floor.
�Thank you.� Alison walked over to see Livvie. She was sitting in one of the chairs with her feet curled up underneath her and watching the TV that about five other people were surrounding.
Livvie looked up to see Alison in front of her, �What the hell do you want?�
Alison sat down in the chair next to her, �I wanted to see how you were.�
�Why should you care? You stole my husband from me and what now you�re rubbing my nose in it.�
�It�s not like that Livvie, and you know it. We were once friends and I still do care what happens to you. I really want you to be happy.�
�Why don�t you take your sugary sweet innocents out of my face. Go bother someone who actually likes cavities.�
�Alright,� Alison got up and started to walk away then she changed her mind, �You know what Livvie? It didn�t have to be this way. I thought we�d be friends forever. Don�t you remember when we use to dream about having little girls that would grow up together like sisters.�
�Well, I guess that dream ended when you destroyed my life.�
�I�m sorry things had to end up this like this. I just hope you listen to the doctors and get yourself better.�
�I�m fine, Ali, so why don�t you just go jump into my husband�s bed you slut.�
�You know you did this to yourself. So if you�re going to blame anyone start with looking in the mirror.� With that Alison turned and walked away.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Ed sat at his desk watching a monitor that showed the little confrontation that Alison and Livvie were having.
�Boy Son, you sure did pick an amazing one. She really is an angel on earth.�
Ed turned off the TV and walked around his desk.
�After everything Livvie did to Alison, she can still care what happens to her. I only wish Livvie could see it. Only if her head wasn�t so clouded with hate and evil�.wait�.evil.� Something came to him.
Ed rushed over to some filing cabinets and started searching, �Got it!� He pulled out a dark blue file.
He started looking through it, �I got you now, James.�
~~~~~~~~~~~
Rafe and Lucy walked into the lighthouse, �Lucy, are you sure this will work?�
�Of course it will work, Rafe. You just have to remind her of the love you�ve shared.� Lucy handed Rafe the phone, �So are you ready?�
Rafe took the phone and pulled out the brochure. He found the phone number on it and dialed.
�Hi, Jack Ramsey.�
�Jack, It�s Rafe. Could I please speak to Alison?�
�Sorry Rafe, she�s not here.�
�What?! Where is she?�
�She went back to Port Charles.�
�Really?! Why?�
�She said something about you needing her.�
�Thanks.� Rafe hung up the phone and looked at his cousin.
�Rafe? What is it?�
�She on her way back.�
�What?! She can�t! Not yet!� Lucy noticed the blinking light on her machine. She pressed play.
On the machine was Alison�s voice. Rafe was glued to the machine listening to the sound of his angel: �Hi, It�s Alison! I�m trying to get a hold of Rafe�um�could you call me when you get this? Thanks, bye!�
At the end of the message was a time stamp that said: �Monday, 4:30 p.m.�
Rafe and Lucy looked at the clock. It was 5:07.
Rafe looked at his cousin with panic, �I�m going to look like a complete idiot.� Rafe ran out of the house as fast as he could.
