Wait! So My Grandfather Wasn't Crazy?

Chapter 7: Dreams and Plans to Escape

Journey

We left on a journey,

Down the road of life we went.

We were trapped and left to die,

but then your uncle came along and saved our butts.

We held hands and hugged along the way,

But now it's the hardest thing I will ever have to do.

Shall I pick life or should I pick you?


I tossed and turned in my sleep, I felt the coldness of the bark under my shoes and the walls scratching my arms. I felt someone lift me up, I weakly opened my eyes and saw a blurred version of Trevor. The image faltered and my eyes closed as my body welcomed the sleep I rightly deserved.

"Mama what ever happened to my daddy?" a smaller version of Alexis asked a younger version of Hannah. My mother's eyes blurred with not forgotten tears of sadness. She turned to me and pulled me into a hug and snuggled into the crevice of my neck and sucked in air.

"Your daddy died the day you were born," my eyes widened and I started sobbing. The one that was going to raise me along with my mom had died the day I was born? The one that was going to teach me to play his favorite sport? This wasn't true, my mom was lying to me. I struggled against her arms and screamed.

"MY DADDY IS NOT DEAD!! HE IS NOT!!" I flipped out and tried to pry myself from her warm embrace. She cried even more and hugged me closer.

"It is true baby. Alexis Hannah Gray.... Your father did die, he was mad and is dead," my mom, by the sound of her voice she wasn't lying.

"No...no!!" I screamed, tears streaming down my cheeks and I cried even harder. She patted my head softly and whispered into my ear that he did love me, but I knew that wasn't true.

The more the dream came down, the more I tossed and turned. Then someone was shaking me.

"Alexis....Alexis....Alexis you need to wake up!" I cried and tried to push the person away as I cried even more and screamed in my sleep. The person's hands wrapped around my arms and shook me again.

"WAKE UP!" my eyes snapped open and reveled the person as Sean. He was sweating along with some dried tears on his face. I took a deep breath and looked at him once again.

"H-hey," I answered meekly. He turned red and got off me and laid back down.

"You were screaming in your sleep, I thought you were dying," he turned over and stared at me. It looked like we were sleeping, but we were sharing a simple conversation.

"Why were you screaming?"

"I had a-a nightmare," Sean rolled his eyes.

"Nooo, really?" I giggled slightly and looked at him in the eyes.

"About the day....the day my mother told me about my father," Sean looked down and then back up.

"I'm sorry," I looked kindly at Sean and smiled.

"It's not your fault," Sean looked down once again.

"Yeah, but I brought it up," I giggled quietly and looked down to see my mother and Trevor cuddling. I frowned and looked at Sean. Now we can't be together, I thought. I scooted closer to Sean until my head was up against his chest. I could hear his heart beating faster and faster. I smiled and laid down on his chest. My eyes began to shut and I swear I heard Sean say something.

"I do like you," I shook my head and knew it was either a joke or I was hallucinating. I shut my eyes and finally fell asleep, no dreams coming to my mind.


As the daylight lit up the tree and the flowers were opening for the first taste of day, Trevor and Hannah were up and wet? I looked at my mom like she was crazy and she smiled meekly. My hair was bedragged and my clothes were on half backwards. Trevor was shaking his wet hair as my mother was drying her self in the sunlight. I looked at Sean, who either had just gotten up or was just laying there while I slept on him. I yawned and reached my hands up to the sky.

"Good morning," I said quietly. I got off the bed and walked over to my mother and hugged her, my clothes getting wet.

"Good thing I brought extra clothes, eh?" I said. My mother laughed gingerly and handed me my bag.

"Go down to the beach and wash up," I shook my head and got my bag from my mother's hands and walked down to the beach. Once I got down there I looked around the perimeter and began to strip except my bra and black underwear. I took a few steps into the ocean and sat down in the sand. I lifted my hand filled with ocean water and poured it down my head and back, getting rid of the sweat and pain that this journey had cause me. I scrubbed my feet and underarms and finally got up and went into the deeper part of the ocean.

Once I was deep enough I swan around for a bit. I closed my eyes for a moment and felt something tug at my foot. I gasped as it pulled me under. I tried to swim away, but whatever it was, it was too strong. Whatever it was let go and let me swim back to surface for a moment. I got freaked out and tried to swim back to land, the current didn't want me too, but soon I was there and I laid on the beach half naked. I wheezed and tried to get my breathing back to normal; when it didn't I got out my inhaler and did a couple puffs and started to breath normally.

I got up after my attack and got dressed in short shorts and a long, white shirt. I slipped on my converse and through my wet stuff back into my bag and walked back to the tree. I was about half way there when Sean stopped me, he was wet too. I wondered if he was at the beach. I blushed and smiled.

"Why, hello Sean," I tried to get past him, but he moved along with me. I looked at him confused and he dug his foot into the sand.

"I-I have to tell you something," I smiled and got hold of his hand, trying to be flirtatious.

"What is it Sean?" a light blush crept among his cheeks.

"W-Well, I w-well," he gave a weak breath and looked me in the eyes, "I-I like you," I was shocked. Sean... Sean liked me? The one that had been crying the day before and the one I had known for three days... liked me? I blushed as my mind wondered around.

"I-I like you too," I smiled and felt something press against m lips. I opened my eyes and saw that Sean was kissing me. I panicked, this was my first kiss, I gently kissed back. Our hands were still connected and he was the one to break the kiss. He smiled as a blush brushed on his face.

"Sorry," I put a finger on his lips and kissed him gingerly.

"It's okay," I pulled away from his face, but I kept our hands connected and went along with him. Jeez, this was the happiest day of my life. It felt like I was flying, like I was never going to stop flying. I sighed and put my head on his shoulder. As we walked into camp Hannah and Trevor were smiling like crazy people and just sighed. Then I heard my mom,

"Aw, young love," I blushed and sat next to Sean, watching my mom and Trevor figure out how to get out of his forest. Out of the center of the earth.
