I love where I stand in rosewood, well, only since I met Alison.
Yep, you heard it right, this is Alison DiLaurentis I'm talking about. Other people that aren't her friends think that she is a mean girl, but they haven't seen the other side of her. I have. We've known eachother for just over half a year, I moved here at the beginning of October, only to find I was still soaking up the Pennyslyvanian sun. And it was October!
I totally feel at home now, like everything is perfect and nothing could ruin it. Absolutely nothing. I guess the best thing at the moment is having friends that can keep secrets, Alison is definately both of those. So she texted me:
Hey wanna come round, I have nothing to do, but I need to tell you something... Ali :)
I grabbed my iPhone and literally jumped down the stairs, picked up my bag and went to reach for the door when a familiar voice said 'Where are you going?' I turned to see my brother, Joe (I reckon he's just older by looks and secretly younger by intelligence and brain cells).
'Next door, I'm friends with Alison, Can you cope being by yourself?' I replied sarcastically and smiled.
'Yeah' he replied 'You know I get your sarcasm and jokes, but not everyone will', (I knew what he was trying to do, and it clearly wasn't working) Joe was trying to be the mature and responsible one because he's supposed to be older than me.
'I'm gonna be back soon, I know my presence is a treat and a bless but I have my own life' I thought this was a better comeback if I do say so myself.
'You seriously think I'm blessed, whatever you say' Joe replied, he said this with almost no expression, I guessed that something was up.
'Okay dude, what's up? You're still not over this whole moving sensation, are you?' I said. It was so obvious, it didn't exactly take a therapist to realise how he felt.
'I guess not, I just hate moving around all the time' I had performed a miracle, my brother had opened up to me!(In case you haven't realised, Joe never ever opens up to anyone, well maybe my dad on rare occasions, but this will be logged!)
My phone buzzed again, It was Alison:
Hey, what's taking you so long?? Ali :/
I texted back:
I'm having a heart2heart convo with my bro, sorry, it's taking longer than I thought. Alexis :(
I got back to the coversation with Joe,'I haven't exactly moved on either, I just have some new friends, that's all' I said, I felt so pleased with myself, no sarcasm. Yet.
'Well it seems like you've completely forgotten about Texas, or you can cover things up really well' he smiled for the last sentence, he was getting there.
'I haven't forgotten about Texas, I still talk to Jess on IM, It's kind of difficult not to forget' I replied, I felt like me and Joe were now distant from the world that we used to know in Texas.
' We were there for longer than two years, but we're in a new place' he got up from the chair 'And there's no reason to be unhappy, it's a new time for us and we can do whatever we want' he gleamed, this was the brother knew and loved (even if I didn't say it often enough).
'Well, not everything' I laughed.
I texted Alison:
Sorry, joe was being a misery guts and we talked about stuff like being new etc. TYML Alexis :)
She texted back immediately:
Don't worry, we have all afternoon anyway, heart2heart talks R good, take all the time U need.Ali :)
