The Experts Say I'm Delirious
“I don’t want to.”
“You need to eat,” Alex told his lanky friend.
“I don’t want to,” Jack told him. “She liked that I was so skinny. Maybe if I’m more skinny, she’ll come back to me.”
“Don’t worry. We’ll figure this out. I don’t think she’ll like it if you starve yourself, so eat.” Jack shook his head. “Am I going to have to force this down your throat?” Jack didn’t say anything. He just simply looked down at his feet. “Fine, but you’re going to have to eat sooner or later.”
Aly had been away from him for days now, and the gangling man had not eaten in that time. Slowly, he was losing weight and getting dark circles under his eyes from his lack of sleep. How was he going to go to sleep anyway without his love in his arms? It didn’t help that he had nightmares of what might have happened when her aunt took her away. Jack could picture the girl’s face perfectly. Just the thought made a tear fall down his cheek.
“I’m going to go to her old room,” Jack murmured as he got up from the couch and started down the hall.
“I’m going to stay with you tonight,” he could hear Alex say. “I don’t want you to do anything crazy.”
Jack shook his head as he opened the door to the childish room. Alex should have known that he wouldn’t do anything drastic or insane. It did cross his mind though, but he knew that she would be upset with him. Truthfully, he knew that she would be mad if she found out that he was not eating, but he didn’t know what to do, so he stopped eating and kept himself locked up in her old room.
Alex wondered what he was doing in there. Of course, he might just be sitting there, crying. You never know. What Alex didn’t know is that Jack wasn’t just sitting in there crying. Yes, he was crying, but he wasn’t sitting on her bed doing nothing. He may not be all that talented, but he had started to paint. What did he paint you may ask? Jack was painting the image that Aly would always draw before they started dated. He had seen the same sun set before he found her. It may have held sorrow for Aly, but the sunset had always held joy for Jack. Of course, now it was loneliness.
Alesia was currently going through the same thing at her aunt’s house. She stayed curled up in a ball by the window in the room that her aunt had done up for her. All day long, she would just sit there just looking out. Jack would find a way to get her back. Aly knew it, so she just sat there and waited.
“Get up and do something,” Aunt Lauren told her. “I bought you paints and canvases for a reason. Why don’t you get up and paint the sunset for me? That is what you always paint.”
Alesia shook her head. “I don’t paint that anymore. I draw pictures of the best times in my life. I drew the picture of when we were at the mall, the zoo, and the amusement park. I’m happy with him, and without him, I have no way of creating art. Jack is my muse.”
Her aunt huffed. “You are never going to see that man again!”
“You can’t keep me here forever. Jack will find a way to get me back. Is it possible to take a lock off an object without a key? I’m the object, and Jack is my lock. The key would be the reason why we wouldn’t want to be together. There is no key, there never will be.”
“I can still pry you apart with cutter.”
“But you would harm us in the process.”
“I would only harm him.”
“Not true because the object needs a lock. She had a lock that protected her. There would be no way that she would even think about having another lock. The object would be all by itself. Perhaps it would die of a lonely heart.”
Angrily, Aunt Lauren stormed out of the room. She was not going to let that guy be with her niece. She was going to protect him, and she knew that she would only get hurt someway. Love was a dangerous thing. It can be taken in an instant or slowly start to wither like a dead rose.
Alesia wondered how proud Jack would be to find out that she stuck up for herself. Those thoughts stopped though when she went running to the bathroom. She had been doing this a lot lately especially in the morning. Some days, Alesia would be fine all day long except for in the morning. She wondered why?
“Are you getting sick again?” her aunt asked from the other side of the door.
“Yeah,” she replied when she had stopped. “I’m fine now though.”
“I want you to use this.” Aunt Lauren opened the door a little bit and put something on the counter.
“I don’t want to. I don’t...”
“You have no idea what Echo could have done. Now just it.”
Alesia sighed before taking the device out of the box and using it like it said on it. After waiting for some time, she looked back at it. Her eyes widened from what it said. There was no way that it could be right, or could it? She had to think. She had to tap into Echo’s memory. Ok, there was that one night that Jack was drinking with the guys. After they left, he was drunk, and Echo knew that, but she didn’t care. She went for it, and... So there was a chance that it could be right...
“Is it ready?” Aunt Lauren questioned. When she got no replied, she entered the bathroom and looked down at the object on the counter. “I knew it. Of course he wouldn’t care about you enough.”
“Shut up! It was all Echo, ok?!”
“Whatever you say...We’ll take you to the doctor next week.”
“What? Why?”
“So you can get rid of that thing.”
“It’s not a thing, and I’m not getting rid of it!”
“Oh yes you are! That thing is half worthless and pathetic!”
“Jack is not worthless or pathetic, and I’m not getting rid of our baby!”
“You are getting an abortion whether you like it or not.”
“You can’t make me! I’m 20 years old!”
“And mental!”
“I’m not crazy!”
“You were in a mental hospital!”
“Because I put myself in there! Aly was always out, and she can’t take care of us! Jack brought me back. I’m not just two personalities that have control over a body! I’m Alesia!”
“There are still there! You have multi personality disorder! You’re sick!”
“I’m not sick, and I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for him!”
“What the hell is that suppose to mean?!”
“Jack was the little boy that found me with his sister! He was the one that wouldn’t leave my side!”
Aunt Lauren just stared at her with disbelief. However, she knew that it must be true. Alesia, Echo, and Aly didn’t lie. They just wouldn’t. She just left the room without another word except for, “You’re still going.”
Alesia fell down to her knees at those words. Her hands cradled her stomach as water started to spill from her eyes. There was no way that she was going to do this. Jack had a say in this too. She didn’t even care that she was only 20 and not married. Things happened. That was that, and she wasn’t alone. She had Jack. Jack would be there for her no matter what. With that though, she started to form a plan. A plan that would allow her to be with the one that she loved with all her heart. Her aunt had missed something when she said that Jack couldn’t take her back. Her aunt called her mental, but she had proof that she wasn’t that mental. She went out to her room, picked up her phone, and texted the only number that her aunt hadn’t taken out of her phone. Her grandmother’s number.
“I don’t want to,” Jack told him. “She liked that I was so skinny. Maybe if I’m more skinny, she’ll come back to me.”
“Don’t worry. We’ll figure this out. I don’t think she’ll like it if you starve yourself, so eat.” Jack shook his head. “Am I going to have to force this down your throat?” Jack didn’t say anything. He just simply looked down at his feet. “Fine, but you’re going to have to eat sooner or later.”

Notes
I wonder what the plan could be. Hmmmmm. Hehehe. I know, and you don't. Well, you can figure out part of it, but you won't know what the thing that her aunt didn't think of when she made her live with her. Hehehehehe. Oh and look at that. I updated this story on Alex's birthday. I made a cake with his face on it and drew a pic of him with charcoal as well.Anyway...time for thank yous....

I love you all! Don't forget to comment! I really love it when you do. It makes me want to write more and makes me feel all warm inside. Love you!
Yep. I made the fist chapter 12 pages because I'm adding a bunch of stuff. The second is 10, but it's not the second chapter of this story. It's actually her just getting her stuff and having the guy character (his name is Elijah) driving her to his place. I did the same with another one that I started writing, but I haven't finished the finally copy yet. The rough draft has been done, but I only have four and a half chapters done because I'm adding more stuff.
The main difference would be that they do call her Aly in the begining because I found a way to work with it and the chapter where Alesia reveals herself, she has nightmares, and Elijah has a backstory that is also going to be a book. That, and I don't know what to call it yet because it will have a different name.
I'm happy you like this though! :) :) :)
And that's cool about your friend!
