Abnormality

Chapter 1

Hadiya

All my life I have striven to be normal. I never understood why I couldn't be. I grew up without a mother and father. I have a 50 percent hearing loss in my inner ear . I have a speech impediment but it's not really that bad if I know what I am trying to say. My vision is terrible as well. I always felt alone and no one ever accepted me for me. At least that's all I could remember. It's been 6 months since I have awakened from a coma and one day since I've been released from prison for a crime I have no recollection of committing .

I waited until all the fans had taken their pictures, videos, and had gotten his autograph. I was a bit nervous but I knew that there was a possibility he held the answers to a lot of my questions. As I waited, I felt a pair of eyes on me. They weren't his but a guy that could pass to be his brother. I followed his eyes which then led me to August whose eyes fell on to mine. As the last fan was escorted out, I took a deep breath and walked towards him.

Umm hi, My name is Hadiya. I'm 22 years old and I can only remember the past 6 months of my life. I was given a box before I was released from prison. It was filled with a photos , a lot of them happen to be of me and you. In one of the pics we were both wearing a gold chain a long with a gold puzzle piece. I happened to have it with me. Were you my brother or something? I was hoping you could.....

That was when he placed a finger on my lip and then pulled me into a hug. I was a little hesitant at first but I decided to hug him back. I was so lost at this point but then again , that wasn't anything new. I felt hot tears on my shoulder. It was then that I knew he was crying. I wanted to cry as well but I didn't. I really didn't know if I knew how to cry. Life didn't really allow me to. He then pulled away from him and allowed his hands to rest on my waist.

He took his glasses off and then looked into my eyes. I reached up to wipe the tears away. He grabbed my hand and placed it in his. I didn't understand anything that was going on but I was okay with the silence at the moment.

Are you here alone?

I took a bus here

Where were you going to stay for the night?

I put my name down at the women's shelter.

tears started to form in his eyes again.

Travis: You're staying with us baby girl. We can't afford to lose you again.

Are you guys my brothers?

Travis: You can say that for me..as far as August goes....

you're my angel, sweetheart

oh.......

August grabbed my things and held my hand as we walked to the tour bus.

That was where we would be sleeping that night as they had to head to the next city. August and I didn't talk much. I ended up falling asleep at the table yet I woke up in a bed. August was lying on the other side. We had enough space in between us. I was wondering what he meant when he said I was his angel. I was curious how close we were. I ended up drifting back to sleep with my mind running a million mph.

I woke up to random shopping bags; Victoria Secret, H&M, Finish line, Foot action, and a few other places I haven't heard of. Whatever they were, I'm sure they were nothing too expensive but I didn't ask for them. After further analysis, I realized I must have been a tom boy and a sneaker head.

Umm Aug....

Hey, I know you needed some clothes so, I got my assistant to buy you a few things.

I only needed the necessities . You didn't have to spend this much money.

You deserve the world plus more with a smile

but, you barely know me, I barely know myself.

that's what I'm here for.
