The Experts Say I'm Delirious
“I’ve missed you so much.”
When the sun set and the moon had risen the day before the appointment, Aly climbed out her window. She couldn’t believe that Alesia was letting her do this. She never would have thought that Alesia would have let her do something so important. With Daren in her arms, she started walking down the street in the direction of Jack’s place. It was a good thing that she had an amazing memory.
The first thing that she had to do was take a right and then cross the road. Her feet took her farther and farther from the prison that she knew as Aunt Lauren’s place. Aly’s feet became wet from the puddles that littered the ground. She could see men covered with tattoos. Aly knew to keep away from them, so she had to take detours and made sure to stay by the lighted parts of the streets.
Aly finally came to a bus stop. She remembered seeing it going in the opposite that she was going in when her aunt was taking her to her place. She also remembered the number of the bus, and with her memory, she knew that it would take her closer to her true home.As she waited patiently for the bus, she spotted a stray beagle on the other side of the street.
“Puppy,” Aly smiled.
We need to wait for the bus. Let it be.
“Ok.”
As soon as she said that, a younger man and girl came running up to it. There you are,” the girl said as she picked up the dod. “Don’t run off like that.” Aly couldn’t help but think of the same thing that happened with Bassam.
“Bassam!” the duo called. “Bassam!”
“I think I hear his barking over there,” Jack signed to the shorter girl before pointing.
“Let’s go then.” They ran and ran towards the barking until they found Bassam who was growling at a stray cat.”There you are!” Aly picked the little dog up. “You had us worried. Don’t ever run away again. We’re a family, so we have to stick together.”
Aly had said that, and she was going to make sure that it stayed true. Aunt Lauren was no family of hers. Her family was Jack and Bassam,and now...The bus pulled up to her. Right on time. SHe stepped into the bus and examined it. One man in the back might have been homeless. There was a teenage girl in the front with a baby in her arms. Finally there was an old man sleeping in the middle. It seems like she will be somewhere by the middle. Aly took the change that she had swiped from her aunt and put it in the container before making her way to a seat.
“So what’s your story?” the friendly looking man driving said.
“I’m sorry. I can only see the side of your mouth. I’m deaf.”
He turned to face her. “I see. It gets really boring, so I ask to hear people’s stories. Sometimes I can even help them. I guess I’m like their Dr. Phil. Notice my mustache.” Aly couldn’t help but giggle. “You can kind of see my mouth in the mirror if that will help if I say anything.”
“I guess it wouldn’t hurt. Well, you know that I’m deaf, but I’m also have multi personality disorder. I’m Aly, the childish personality. Anyway, I have a boyfriend who looks like a plushie. He plays guitar in a band. My aunt found out that I was living with him took me away. She doesn’t understand that we love each other or the fact that I’m not stupid. Of course, she never found out how I did in school anyway.”
“So are you running back to him?”
Aly nodded. “We’re a family. There is me, Jack, our dog Bassam, my plushie Daren, and now this baby. You aren’t suppse to separate a family. We love each other. She just doesn’t see it. I’m going back to Jack. He’s everything to me.”
“I hope that you’re able to stay with him.”
“I will. My grandmother has something to help.”
Finally, the twenty-year-old finally reached her stop. She stepped off the bus and continued her journey. Her hands pulled the hood of her jacket tighter around her. Her aunt didn’t want her out, so the only jacket that she had was very thing. Although her feet was hurting and she was cold, Aly couldn’t stop. She just couldn’t.
We’re almost there. Keep going.
Aly did keep going until she was finally standing outside of his place. Her fist knocked on the door, and right away, she could feel Bassam pawing the door. After about a minute, she could feel vibrations of sleepy feet as well. Plushie opened the door. He seemed skinnier than before and had dark circles under his eyes, which he was rubbing the right one.
“Plushie.”
Jack didn’t say anything. He couldn’t. Jack’s mouth opened and closed as he tried to find the right words, but they never came. Instead, he just pulled her into his arms in a warm embrace. When he pulled her away slightly, Jack pressed his lips to hers. Yes, it was Aly, but he knew that she would have wanted this as well. He was right to because she kissed back. It was soft and sweet. They didn’t need anything else. They just needed to be together again.
“I’ve missed you so much,” Jack finally signed.
“I’ve missed you too.” Alesia was back again.
“I haven’t been able to sleep or eat without you with me. I can’t live without you.”
“I can’t live without you either.” She paused. “Jack, I need to tell you something.”
“What?”
“I...We...We’re going to be parents.”
“What do you mean?” All it took washer to glance down at her stomach and then back up to his face for him to know what it meant. “Really?” He couldn’t help the smile that was forming on his face. She nodded. Jack picked her up and swirled her around.
That night, they went to bed together, and everything seemed like it was back to normal, but it wasn’t. The next day the couple woke up to pounding on the door. They got up to investigate. As soon as the door was opened, Alesia was being pulled through it.
“You stupid girl!” Aunt Lauren yelled at her. “Are you really that dumb?!”
Alesia struggled and got out of her grasp with the help of Jack. “I’m not stupid.”
“Of course you are! You’re crazy for crying out loud!”
“Don’t you dare talk to her like that!” Jack told her as he wrapped his arms around his love.
“Don’t you dare wrap your arms around her!”
“He can do whatever the hell he wants!” Alesia yelled at her.”I love him, and I love everything he does!”
“Don’t you dare raise your face at me4!”
“I can do whatever the fuck I want! I’m twenty-years-old! You have no power over me!”
“I beg to differ. I’ll make sure that you are kept from him. I will show everyone that you’re not bright. You act like a child!”
“That doesn’t mean that I’m stupid!”
“I think it does.” She grabbed Alesia again and tried to pull her away from Jack.
Jack didn’t know what to do. It’s not like he knew about the younger girl’s plan, so he did the only thing that he could think of. He did the thing that he would actually love. He did the one thing that he knew would make her stay with him. “You can’t take her away! Alesia, will you marry me?”
The first thing that she had to do was take a right and then cross the road. Her feet took her farther and farther from the prison that she knew as Aunt Lauren’s place. Aly’s feet became wet from the puddles that littered the ground. She could see men covered with tattoos.

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!
