Losing The Grip of The Rules
Jonas arrived at home before Fiona told his parents so he quickly ran and locked himself in his sleeping area.
'I really want to leave this place, but I can't, I can break the rules sure...but they've blocked me everywhere, they're always watching me,' thought Jonas as he sat in his bed and sighed.
'But that kiss...I've never experienced it in reality before...it felt exciting, exhilarating, but I wish Fiona didn't interrupt, just when I grasped the feeling of it.'
He froze when he heard the doorbell ring; he knew it was Fiona. There was the sound of the Father opening the door, and then, after a few minutes, the door closed again.
There were hushed whispers getting louder as Mother and Father made their way to Jonas's sleeping area.
"Don't go in there," came Lily's voice.
"Lily, we need to speak to Jonas, please move aside," said Mother's voice.
"Well you can't speak to him now, he's just had to go through a very painful memory, he needs rest right now and wishes for no one to see him at the moment."
There was a small pause. "Lily," said Father's voice firmly, "Fiona has just told us what happened after you left Jonas alone with Asher-"
"The two were only speaking, Fiona's lying, she didn't see anything now please, Jonas needs rest-AND I'M NOT APOLOGIZING!"
Jonas's eyes widened in shock. Did Lily lose her mind!?
"No Lily, don't," he whispered as he looked at the door.
"I will not be yelled at young lady-"
"I don't care what you say anymore...I know I'm growing up, but I know what you both do, I won't have it ANYMORE!!!"
Jonas expected the sound of a slap like he had seen in the memories then remembered that it was different now.
"Step aside Twenty-three!"
Jonas started to hurry to the door but stopped when he heard his sister again.
"I used to think you two were the most honest people ever in the world, I realize I was wrong....you two don't have emotions, no independency, you always go by someone's rules, and you're filthy, stinking liars."
'No, no more, Lily stop!' Jonas thought to himself shakily. His hand was on the door knob-
"Don't open the door Jonas," he heard Lily say sharply. He looked at the door in shock, how did she know?
"Why are you doing this?"
"I want to take my stand," Lily said heatedly.
"Jonas? Jonas open this door," said Father sharply.
"Don't open it Jonas."
"Why are you blocking us?" said Mother angrily.
"Because I want to see you fail, see you feel like all those other people who were released because they failed."
"I don't know-"
"'What you're talking about', right...I know exactly what you fucking (Jonas gasped) do, you just act nicely to us so we could trust you, grow the way you want us to grow. But you're only doing it to save yourselves, to not be released, to be known as great parents who never failed anything- DON'T EXPECT ME TO APOLOGIZE! Well now you've failed miserably....and just when you were about to complete your children's ceremonies too."
Jonas let go of the doorknob, he didn't know why, but he was cheering Lily on. 'That's right, take that you stupid pieces of manure!'
"It's the same thing with Asher's parents too, only they seem to understand Asher just a little more than you do, such a shame isn't it? Now go, talk to Jonas tomorrow when he's well."
There was a pause and the shuffling of feet. The door opened and Lily came in.
"I can't believe you did that, Lily," breathed Jonas.
"Well I did, I'm tired of staying silent, I'm tired of having to follow the rules, I want to go to Elsewhere...but I'm not leaving without you, count on that, Jonas."
"You know I can't, I'm well guarded and watched."
"We'll think of something.....I've been thinking...well we definitely will be chastised about what we've done today....but I was thinking about a resistance, you know, gather anyone who's had enough of following the rules, I have a feeling Asher's beginning to feel the same too," she giggled when Jonas blushed.
"Then you saw-"
"Of course, you know how curious I am."
"So that's how you found out about 'fuck'?"
"No, I've had dreams with that word and a few others in it."
"Oh....a resistance?"
"Yup, we can all do it silently while we're at school and stuff. Tell Giver about it so that he can say if we should do it or not."
"But what if we get guarded even more?"
"We'll keep resisting, if we get Benjamin in our resistance we can actually do something that might get us to Elsewhere."
"Yes but...I don't know anymore," sighed Jonas as he sat on his bed.
"So how did the kiss feel?"
Jonas sighed and fell back on the bed blushing brightly. "Very good, pleasurable, exciting, I really wish Fiona hadn't interrupted."
"Was it wet?"
"Yeah, but I wasn't paying much attention to it, it was the feeling that got me really stirred."
"That must have felt good, I want a French kiss too!"
"I'M not kissing you!"
"No that would be disturbing even though we aren't blood related."
"Yes it would, but it feels so....it makes you want to melt-if your kissing the right person."
"You talk as if you've done it before."
"I did in a dream, can't tell you though, not supposed to remember?"
"Oh right."
"Don't tell anyone but....I wish I could kiss him again."
"Won't tell a soul."
"It's too bad he only did because he was curious about it."
"Who said he was curious about THAT?"
"Well didn't he say-"
"He was curious about the OTHER thing."
Jonas thought about and blushed immensely, "Wow, he's a pervert." Lily giggled.
"How did you know I was at the doorknob?"
"That's something you'll know sooner or later."
* * *
Asher sighed as he lay in his bed staring mindlessly at the ceiling, hoping to fall asleep. Fiona had come to his dwelling before him and his parents gave him a punishment to not see Jonas for a week.
'I think I WILL do this resistance business Lily mentioned to me,' he thought. After Jonas had left for his dwelling, Lily had gotten out of her hiding spot and told Asher about the resistance.
'One thing's for sure,' frowned Asher, 'Fiona will never join, she's too close to the rules.'
"Asher?"
"What is it Phillipa?"
"I know what you did this afternoon and I just want to say....that you have my full support."
"WHAT!?" Asher sat up so quickly that his sister jumped.
"You have my support. It's unfair, these rules. I don't understand much about 'love' but-"
"Trust me, you will if you think less about the rules and listen to everything around you, it might come up in your dreams, it's the most wonderful feeling you've ever experienced!"
Phillipa stared at her brother and smiled. "I'll think through that. Jonas is a good person, you made a good choice."
"What?"
"I know you really, REALLY like him, more than you should anyway. I've been watching. Lily volunteered to play with us in the Childcare Center and told me if I wanted to join a resistance."
"She told me the same thing. I'm gonna join it, you?"
Phillipa grinned. "Definitely." And she left Asher's sleeping area for her own.
Asher lied back down on his bed gently touching his lips with his fingers, lost in thought. 'Why on EARTH did Fiona have to interrupt!?' he thought frustratingly.
