"Piper! Come on!" Her mother yelled.

"I know, I'm coming!" Piper replied.

Today was the anniversary party for her brother Cal and his wife Neri. About seven years they have been together. Piper was extremely happy for the two, but that also meant seven years since Piper left the prison. Also four years since she saw Alex.

Alot has changed since then. Alex broke up with Piper a year before Alex left prison. Piper owned her own restaurant in Brooklyn. She hadn't heard from Alex since the phone call breakup.

Piper shivered at the memory that still haunted her. Usually the blonde would own up to when she was in the wrong, but this time she wasn't. All she was doing was waiting for Alex, weekly visits, daily calls. The woman had zero clue to what made Alex break up with her. It killed her everyday though.

"Piper.." Her mother said calmly in the doorway; seeing her daughter stare at herself in the mirror.

Piper's mother had become very accepting of Alex. She even went to visit her every now and then. But, Piper's father hadn't. He still shunned Piper in the worst way for being with a woman. He had been thrilled when Piper told them about the breakup.

But, Piper's mother was hurting more then anything for her daughter. She saw the pain she went through the first year of the breakup. Sure, the pain was still there. But the first year was worse then anything.

Piper had moved back in with her parents for the year. She was too distraught to live on her own. Cal pushed her into it more then anyone else. He was fearful of his sister's safety. Which he had a right to be.

He was fearful because Piper started to talk how she should somehow get back in prison to see Alex or how she should just give up on life together. The blonde meant it when she said Alex was the love of her life, living without her had been hard.

"Yeah mom?" Piper turned to look at her mother.

"You don't have to go today-"

"It's Cal and Neri. I'm going" Piper said.

"I know, but it just always make you sad each anniversary party" Her mother pointed out.

"I'm alright" Piper lied. "But, I have one question"

"Yes?"

"Who in their right mind's would have a party each year for their anniversary?" Piper asked causing her mother to chuckle.

"Only your brother, now let's go before we are late" She said and walked out.

Piper took one more look at herself in the mirror before taking in a deep breath; then exhaling it. She started to prep talk herself to not think how long it's been without Alex. This is a happy occasion. With one last look, she quickly grabbed her purse and followed her mother out.

"How about this?" Nicky walked up to the balcony; pointing to her outfit.

She was wearing a black pantsuit with black heels. Her hair was a little more tame then it usually was. The usually insane hair woman was going for a job interview. Nicky had recently just gotten out of prison and moved in with her roomate, Alex Vause.

"Too classy?" Nicky added.

"No, I think it's fine" Alex said; shutting her book and placing it on the table.

"Are you lying?" She asked.

"No, you're gonna get this job Nicky" Alex reassured her.

"Hopefully, what's your plans for today?" She sat on the metal outdoor chair across the table from the woman.

"Well," Alex began. "I don't have work until this weekend because the bar and being worked on. So I guess I'll just sit here and read" She shrugged.

"Or, hear me out" Nicky began. "You get off your fucking ass and find Chapman huh?" She smiled.

"I can't-"

"Why? You've seen her Facebook. It says she lives in Brooklyn and guess where you live? Brooklyn! It's meant to be!" Nicky yelled.

"Nichols, I can't" Alex just raised her glasses so the rested on top of her head. "I broke up with her-"

"Yeah because you thought Badison was about to get you life, but she didn't!"

"Yeah well, I was paranoid as fuck and took it too far. I don't blame her not wanting to see me" Alex shook her head.

"Times have changed. It's been four years, Vause. Instead of moping around like a mop, get off your ass and find her" She said and looked at her phone. "Shit, I need to go before I'm late. Do something productive today!" She yelled before starting to walk away.

"Good luck! Do not try to pick up any chicks!" Alex yelled.

"I'll try!" She yelled back before leaving.

Alex took a deep breath before putting her glasses back down to sit on her nose. She looked at the city spread out in front of her. Piper was somewhere in this city. She didn't have Alex blocked on any social media. So it's not like Alex just couldn't send her a message.

She picked her phone up; unlocking it before going over to Facebook. She typed in those two words and instantly was welcoming to a profile photo of Piper drinking coffee while laughing. It warmed her heart to see the face she adored so much.

Her thumb clicked on it and was welcomed to the full profile. Her cover photo was of her and Cal acting like they were scared standing next to a statue of a dead zombie. Her bio just said

"Life comes in moments, I don't even know what that means"

Alex smiled at the memory of that. The only word missing from it was the nickname only Piper called her being 'Al'. She had said it at their surprise prison wedding where Alex had her vows ready, but Piper had no idea they were even getting married.

Below that was the button to add her as a friend, follow her, or message her. Her thumb hovered over the add friend, debating if she wanted to go that far. Piper probably hated her to no end. Her anxiety spiked and instead she just locked her phone quickly; before picking her book back up.

She would eventually contact Piper. Some day, some how, she knew she would see that blonde again.
