Hi. I'm Jack. You've probably heard about my story. I was born in a garden shed called Room. My mom was abducted at the age of 19 and had me at the age of 21. I lived in Room for the first 5 years of my life. Well. When we left off in that start of my new life of living in the outside world. I'm now 22 and living on my own. For 17 years of my life I went to therapy, speech therapy and learning more and more about the outside world. I got diagnosed with depression, PTSD, DID, Anxiety and ADHD. And I started school when I was 6 and a half because thats when I was ready.
I now live on my own but still near Ma. My grandparents moves so they could be closer to Ma and me. Well, they got a vacation home near by, maybe about an hour drive from where me and Ma live. Now, where should we start? I think we should start a few years after we moved into the apartment.
It was the start of August, around 3 years after we got out. I'm now 8. I was walking to the park near by our house. I had become more independent with going to school for 2 years. Tho, I still have the random few people who come up to me and try to talk to me about my past but I do what Ma said and ignored them.
As I walk to the park, I noticed a few people looking at me. I just sighed and ignored them as I walked over to one of the picnic tables before sitting down. I liked coming to the park to do my homework and watch kids who grew up with normal families play.
Reading and math. Thats what I had for homework that day. I had found out that I in fact did not know all the words in the world, but I knew a lot of bigger words, but I still have somewhat of trouble with the smaller words. As I was working on my math homework some kid came up to me but I didnt notice them.
"Hi!" The kid half screamed which caused me to jump and almost turn to hit them.
I stopped myself and looked over at the kid, confused. "Hi? Why did you scream?" I asked, tilting my head to the side.
"Because some people do that when they are excited to meet someone or see someone." This kid explained. "Anyway. Im Charlie. Im new around here. Whats your name?"
'Charlie? I like that name. Should I tell them my name? I mean they did come up to me and try to talk to me. Yeah sure.' I thought to myself before answering Charlie.
"Jack."
To sum it up I made a friend that day. I didnt know how special they were back then but as you will see in a little bit, they become incredibly special to me and the people inside my head. Let's jump to when I was 14. Thats around the time I started noticing I could hear other voices in my head that werent my own.
It was around November; I believe the start of the colder month. During the school day I started feeling like I was watching myself do things through a camera? Or in 3rd person. But when it stopped, I didnt remember any of it.
At lunch I walked up to Charlie, poking the back of their shoulder slightly. "Charlie.." I said quietly.
Charlie turned around, tilting his head slightly. "Yeah Jack? Whats up? Youve been acting weird all day. Not like yourself. "
"Can we go find somewhere quieter please?" I asked. Once again, I was quiet.
"Of course, we can Jack."
And with that we headed to a classroom that had no one in it. I explained what was happening which Charlie listened to it all. They didnt say anything for a while as they paced around the room, clearly thinking about it.
"From what you are saying. Have you ever heard of DID or dissociative identity disorder?" Charlie finally asked after about 5 minutes.
"Yeah, a little bit. My therapist has talked about it being something I could end up having because of what I have been through."
"Well, mental disorders are one of my special interests. Ive done a lot of research on DID because it's interesting. Anyway. From what you have said about what youre experiencing, from the dissociating to hearing voices in your head that arent your own I think you may have it." Charlie said as they stopped pacing, looking over at me. "You should talk to your therapist about it."
That was the last time me and Charlie talked about the possibility of me having DID until I mentioned that I had been officially diagnosed a year later. When I told them they were incredibly accepting and offered to help us ground ourselves if we needed it and help figure out who is front if we dont know.
Let's now skip to the best day of my life, aside from when I got out of the hell hole called Room. It was May of our final year in high school, around prom time and neither of us had a date. At this moment I had around 14 people in my head. 2 of us, technically 3 of us counting me had a huge, huge crush on Charlie but all of us were afraid to make a move.
Charlie had been planning on figuring out how to ask me to prom but couldnt figure out how to do it. When they finally figured it out them, me, Kaito and Zero, since they were front with me at that moment, were all cuddling and watching a movie together.
"Whose front with you Jack?" Charlie asked, sort of out of the blue.
"Still Kaito and me. Why?" Zero asked, having taken control of the body for that moment. His voice was a little higher then mine so when he was it was noticeable.
"Well. I have a question for Jack, and you two." Charlie said, pausing the movie.
I took control of the body again and shifted to sit up, sitting on Charlies lap. Whats up Charlie?
"I actually have two questions." Charlie said placing his hands on our hips. "One, will you three be my date to the prom?"
We sat there for a moment, our cheeks going slightly red as we processed what they had just asked us. Kaito then forced control over the body, hugging Charlie tightly.
"Yes! Yes! Hell yeah we will. Sorry about the other two. You broke them." Kaito said giggling. His voice was even higher then mine so once again it was more noticeable when he was front and in control of the body.
Charlie laughed and hugged back, kissing our head softly. "Well, my next question is gonna break them more". They said as Kaito tilted our head. "Will you three be my boyfriends?"
Of course, we said yes. Prom and graduation were amazing.
Me, Kaito, Zero and Charlie have been dating for 5 years now. We are all so fricking happy. My mom was happy the moment she found out but of course my grandparents were iffy on it at first but soon accepted Charlie into the family. Well. Now were at the present day. Charlie has been mine and my systems top supporter since the day we had met them, 14 years ago.
Today is a big day because we are planning on purposing to Charlie. We had planned a beach vacation at my grandparent's beach vacation house they come to when they want to be closer to us and Ma.
Me and Charlie walked down to the beach and went for a walk alongside the water holding hands. I was currently waiting for Zero and Kaito to get into front. Once they did, we stopped walking.
"Jack?" Charlie asked confused as they stopped walking and turned around to face us. I let Zero take control because we had all agreed on letting him ask the question.
"Actually, it's me, Jack and Kaito." Zero said as he put his hand into our pocket.
"Sorry you two. Didnt know you guys were front with Jack." Charlie said watching us as Zero moved the body to kneel on one knee. Charlies eyes widened as he watched.
"Charlie. We have been thinking for a while and we have all agreed that we want to marry you. So, will you make us the happiest men alive and marry us?" We asked, grabbing the box from his pocket and opening it to show a pretty ring. Charlie had started crying as they nodded.
"Yes". They said just above a whisper as we put the ring on their finger before hugging them.
"We love you, Charlie." I said into their neck.
"I love you guys too."
