~Delirious's Story~

Fall of the year 2004

~Delirious's POV~

"You know he is just a little boy! He doesn't understand!" My mom yelled. My parents were fighting in the kitchen, "Yeah, well maybe we should teach him! He has a disorder that is a threat to all the people that surrounds him!" My dad retaliated. I was secretly standing in the doorway listening to them, "No! I don't want Jonathan to have that type of burden on him!" I'm not exactly supposed to be here, but they yelled my name a couple times, "Fine! Then how about a mental institute where kids like him belong!" I don't really know what was happening, all I knew is that they are fighting because I was sent out of school for... I don't understand really, "How could you say that about our child!?" My mom yelled horrified, "He paralyzed a kid! This isn't the only time he got sent home from school!" My dad yelled.

I looked down, just in utter sadness. I thought I was doing well... I wanted to make friends but they all run away or turn white and fall asleep... Then I get sent home and no one tells me what is happening.

"Jonathan!" My mom yelled in shock. I snapped my head up to meet her surprised gaze, "I thought Cartoonz was watching you." I opened my mouth to explain, but my dad cut me off, "CARTOONZ!"

After a second, we heard stomping and a wooden door open, then more stomping, then a Cartoonz comes running down the stairs in a hurry to the kitchen, where he stands and salutes, "Yes, sir!?" He yells, "Didn't we tell you to look after the kids?" My dad asked. Cartoonz nodded, "Yes, sir." My dad pursed his lips together and slowly walked to him, "Then why is my son STANDING IN THE DOORWAY OF THE KITCHEN WATCHING ME AND RACHEAL FIGHT!?" Cartoonz glances at me then looks back at the angry face of my father, "Well sir... You see... I was just taking a nap... I told him to stay put... But he didn't... Listen..." His voice got quieter and quieter as he spoke.

My dad brings his hands together and puts on what looked like an annoyed smile, "What have I told you about taking naps?" Cartoonz had the look of guilt on his face, "I can only sleep at night... But sir! My job's working hours are from 12 am to 6! I rarely get sleep!" My dad looked really angry, "I don't give two shits! We'll deal with this later! Bring that dammed child upstairs and KEEP  him up there!" My dad yelled.

Cartoonz sighed and said, "Yes, sir..." He grabbed my arm and I followed peacefully up the stairs and into the room. He closed the door and silently walked to an armchair sitting against the wall next to a window. Before he sat down he picked up my baby sister Lillie. He then sat down and sighed.

After a few moments of silence Cartoonz finally spoke, "Listen... Jon... I know you're confused and all you wanna know is what is happening, but... The more curious you are the more I get in trouble for your actions..." "Listen Cartoonz, I'm sorry-" "I don't wanna hear it. I've heard it a million times already, no use in trying again." I felt horrible...

All I wanna do is just stop causing Cartoonz so much trouble.

Me, Cartoonz, and Lillie all went to a park after my parents' fighting got worse. It was around 3 in the morning and I was wearing a blue hoodie that was way to big for me. Lillie was wrapped in two blankets and Cartoonz was wearing a sweater and a heavy jacket. I was happily swinging on the swings awaiting the approval of Cartoonz that we were able to return to the house.

This is pretty much normal for me by now. The fighting. The nightly park trips. A sad Cartoonz on a bench. All normal.

"Cartoonz?" I called out to him, "Yes Jon?" "Why was I suspended from school?" Cartoonz didn't answer, "Cartoonz? Why does my dad say those things about me?" He still didn't reply, "Cartoonz? Aren't we out here a little longer than usual?" Cartoonz still didn't reply.

"Cartoo-" "Shut up..." I was surprised by his words, "What?" "I said shut up Jon... Just shut up..." Cartoonz started to sound annoyed, "But..." "WOULD YOU JUST LISTEN TO ME FOR ONCE!?" I flinched at his sudden outburst, "Listen, Jon, you're young. You should just enjoy that, but you need to listen to me. I can't keep getting in trouble... Your father is terrifying..." Cartoonz started to tremble.

I just stared at him as my heart ached, "I'm sorry..." Is all I could say, "It's alright... Sorry I blew up on you... I'm just full of stress..." Cartoonz explained. I got off the swing and walked to Cartoonz. He looked up at me and I smiled, "Hey... I understand... No need to apologize." I told him.

He smiled and stood up, "Come on! I don't feel like listening to yelling before I go to sleep. So let's go to a hotel." He rubbed my head and I smiled and laughed, "Okay!"

----

Cartoonz tucked me in and kissed my forehead, "Goodnight, Jon." He put my sister down in a crib they gave us and went to bed in the other bed beside me.

"Goodnight, Cartoonz..." I said slowly drifting to sleep.
