Unknown Road

Joan's eyes grew wide as she saw him standing there. He stood in that same jacket that had made him look like he was in high school. Her thoughts flashed in her mind.

"God Boy, the cute one!" she thought.

"Joan it's been a long time…it's time you came back to us…the real world needs you." He said the soft tone that she loved.

Her eyes soften for half a second and hardened. Leave me alone she signed. "Not this time Joan! I can't let you do this." He argued.

I say NO! She signed.

Her face was angry and her hands kept speeding up faster and faster. I'm finally happy. You have no idea how long this has taken. No one believed me, I was considered mentally unstable and then I went quiet. I chose that and that day forward I decided you weren't real. You may exist in religion to me but not as a physical being. I am not a Joan of Arc I can't handle it. You want so much for here and me again you appear but guess what I won't allow you into my world again!

Tears filled her eyes and before she stopped herself she ran to the high school gym with his jacket in her arms not even thing about it.

The figure stood, like the darkness in the night, he whispered, " If you don't believe me Joan, I will turn your world upside down." He smiled and walked down the street, hands in pocket with a plan. This summer Joan would never forget because the "God Boy" was now human, he got signs from the lord but would move into the town with a family and ordinary things that Joan believed

Joan's breath came in rasps as she opened the door to the gym.

"Jane! You ok?" Adam asked. She looked up at him and threw her arms around him; he hugged her back and didn't let go.

"You ok!" he asked.

She pulled away and signed, Yea I'm all right I feel like I just saw ghost thou. He touched her shoulder and said, "Your freezing! Put that jacket on Jane."

She signed what jacket? She looked at her arm and there laid a gray jacket and her eyes danced.

She thoughts flashed in her mind, "Is this possible? The jacket is real but I have never seen it in my life!

She quickly put it on and went to the dance with Adam and the gang. She had fun and with Adam's help danced the night away.

The next morning, Joan woke to the obnoxious knocking on the front door. It wouldn't stop so she got out of bed and ran down the stairs.

She opened to the door to a middle aged women with a cup in her hand. "I am so sorry to bother you but I just moved next door and I ran out of sugar for my waffles. Could I please barrow some, my son and daughter with nag me all morning if I don't."

Joan grabbed some paper and quickly wrote, "I don't speak but I can speak sign language. By chance do you?"

The women read it quickly nodded and grinned, "For give me I didn't know. I understand it because my sister was death as a child. Do you mind if I just talk to you normal?" Joan nodded and signed, Come in please I will get that sugar for you.

The lady fallowed Joan into the kitchen and sat at the counter seat. Joan took the lady's cup and filled it up all the way. "O forgive me. Where are my manners this morning? My name is Jenny Parker. Who might you be?"

Joan looked up and moved from the sugar jar to the air. My name is Joan Guradi. My father is the Police chief here. My brothers live here and my mom does to. I am the second oldest and just finished high school.

Jenny nodded and smiled. "My oldest just finished too, He hated moving from California for the summer and then going off to college. My daughter is still in high school she's 16 this month.

Joan smiled and heard a yelling from outside. "That's my daughter, I best got Joan. It was a pleasure to meet you. When we settle in I would love to meet your family!" Joan helped Jenny out of the house and say a gangly 15 year old with brown glossy hair in a (not again mom) pose.

Joan nodded towards the girl and Jenny answered, "That's Lindsey. She just a little out of her mood today I think!" Joan nodded and waved. She finished all the chores her parents had left her and got her bike out of the garage.

As she rolled it out the garage she looked over at the house Mrs. Parker lived in. A moving truck stood in the driveway and a boy looked at her. He had blond/brown hair that hung over his eyebrow and he glared at her.

She was taken aback because at the moment she knew it was "god boy". "No way" she thought, "no way!" She rolled her bike out to the curb and over to his driveway. He turned to look at her again, this time his glare was softer.

"You're the girl that lives next door right?" Joan nodded. "My mom says you don't speak? I understand sign language because of my Auntie. I guess I will see more of you." Joan signed, "Who are you? What are you doing here "god boy"?"

"My name isn't "god boy" its Sam Parker. I am forced to live here because of my parents and my mom's job. I got torn away from everything I knew and shoved into this stupid town for a summer!" He said.

Joan looked at him with curious eyes. I had no right to accuse you Sam. I'm really sorry. I get that way sometimes. I don't trust people that easily. "I'll see you around Joan. I got to finish unloading the truck."

Joan stood staring at him getting into the truck. He was cute and human. Why had she thought he was "god boy"? He did look like him a lot but this guy was perfectly normal. He looked over his shoulder at her and gave her his trademark grin. She waved and hopped on her bike. She couldn't get Sam out of her mind and when she arrived at Adam's she just could think straight.

Adam saw his "Jane" in the driveway and walked out from his shed. Hey Jane. He signed. Her eyes glittered with mystery and she signed, you won't believe my morning Adam. It started out with this obnoxious door knock…
