Lost In The Jungle

"Ready- oh"

Before I could ask Drey if he was ready he was already banging on his door. After a while of no one answer he banged the door louder this time.

"What in the world. Are they not home? Their kid is missing. Are they out bowling?" Drey questioned slamming his fist on the door once again

"Dude I already said there car wasn't here"

We turned around when we heard beeping. Walking off the front porch a white SUV with tented windows pulled up. The front door opened reviling Dreys dad.

"Drey!"

"Dad!"

They both ran to each other, meeting up in the middle. Hugging one another I then heard the door shut and the sound or hills. Looking over I saw Mrs.Whitlock dropping her bag.

"Mommy!"

"Oh my baby!" She ran up to him embracing him into his arms. Tears streaming down her face. She looked up at him squealing. Taking out her camera she started to snap pictures.

"Oh come here you little stinker" Mr.Whitlock said to me

I could help but smile at his cheesy lines and go up to him and hug him. Hearing more clicks we turn around to see Mrs.Whitlock taking pictures of us.

"Baby could you cut that out!" He joked, "I haven't done my hair today"

"Oh" she cried pulling me into a hug, I hugged her back laughing at the difference of Drey and Travis parents reactions.

We all went inside and Drey and I were instantly bombarded with questions. Of course them being Dreys parents, we were asked if we were kidnapped by villains. I was not surprised at all.

"You two just showed up out of no where" Mrs.Whitlock wiped her eyes with a tissue "where is Travis!"

"Don't worry mom, he's at home"

She sighed, happy Travis was safe. Continuing to cry and wipe her eyes with tissues, Mr.Whitlock knew something was up from Drey smiling the whole time.

"Son just come out and say it"

"I have a boyfriend!" He blurted out

Both his mom and dad froze, shocked at what he had just said. Drey realized what he said, scratching his back he sunk deeper into the couch motioning for me to talk.

"Okay this is going to seem intense but, a few months back we got kidnapped by those superheroes Drey was obsessed with. Yes, they are superheroes and yes there are villains. We have been living on an island for the past months, making friends, working, having fun, we even have been gaining super powers. Drey has yet to get his. Also, Drey has found love. A nice guy named Edwin, who happens to know that the tomatoes go with the fruits"

"Son, he sounds like a very charming man. Any man or woman" Mr.Whitlock said looking at me when he said women, "whoever knows the tomatoes go with the fruits. Is a keeper"

"That's when I knew he was the one"

"That's all you got out of it?" I questioned

"Dawn?"

"Yes Mrs.Whitlock"

"What do you mean, superpowers?"

"Oh! Show her Dawn!" Drey excitedly said

I got up from the couch standing in front of everyone. Drey being the only one to smilie and the other two looking confused. I closed my eyes, forgetting about everything and ignoring all sounds around me.

I then felt the tingling feeling I get when I glitch. I didn't hear any sounds so I wasn't sure if I was doing it. I opened my eyes and Drey was still smilie like a five year old in a candy store and his parents wore frozen.

I backed up, walking through the t.v and through the wall. Coming back, I put my arm through Mr.Whitlock. I then stopped glitching after getting no response.

"Holy mother of god" he said

"What the fuck!" She screamed

"There it is. I was waiting for a reaction. Out of all people, I th-"

"Do it again, let me go get my camera" Mrs.Whitlock said

"There we go"

Mrs.Whitlock came back with her camera ready to snap a picture. Drey stoped her from doing so. Sitting her back down on the couch.

"Mom, dad, listen to me carefully okay?"

They both nodded. Leaning in as there son was going to give a big speech. I knew what was coming. I honestly didn't know how they would react. I wondered how Travis was doing right now.

"Everything that we have said and showed you, you can not and I mean can not say a word to anybody about this. I don't care if you say it as a joke, or think they won't believe you. You can't say anything. Promise me!"

"Baby, I get how crazy all this is but, why all the sudden hostility?" His mom asked

"Mom, this place is basically my second home. I have so many friends there, I even found love. I work there to help around the community to help it grow bigger and stronger. Everyone who is there, is there for their safety and to find peace. No one wants violence and if word gets out what happens there, then they will never get the life they deserve"

"Son we have been throw so much since you've been gone? Your mother had cried herself to sleep for weeks, months even"

"Dad I know, and I'm sorry. I wish you never went through that, I really do. I have missed you two so much, and now that I had the chance to finally come back and tell you the amazing things that have happened-"

"Can I ask you a question?" His father interrupted, Drey nodded "are you leaving us again?"

Drey got down on the floor in front of his mom and dad. Hold each other their hands into his own. His mother silently cried knowing the answer about to come.

"I-I don't know how to explain it. When I'm there, you don't have to worry about a thing in the world. You just have you and your friends. And this man mom, this man Edwin. I love him. I've never felt this way towards someone before" Drey said starting to cry

His mother wiped his tear, smiling at her son "baby it's okay. I'm not mad at you, I'm just happy you are okay. That's all that matters to me"

"Mom, dad, I promise this is a good place. You guys can even come and visit whenever you want for however long. Sometimes the weather is a little messy, but most days it's beautiful and sunny, and the water. Oh gosh the water is something you've never seen before"

"Son we say this all the time and I don't think you take us seriously, but we are so proud of you. You have grown up to be a good man, and this Edwin guy is lucky to have you. We love you so much" his father spoke
