How Time Can Change (discontinued)

Moving (Chapter One)

"You may now kiss the bride."

I shoot up. A dream? I don't know.  It's too early for this. All I can hear are my roommates. Ugh. I look down at myself with sleepy eyes. Still in my P.J.s... I smile at myself. I may love these guys and known them since high school, but at seven am... Yelling Loudly... Not really. 

I've been living with them ever since I got out of college. Since we did go to the same college. It was easy to find a place. I grab my phone off my nightstand. I check Instagram to see that I still have like three followers, after feeling depressed about myself. I thought I would go bug my best friend, F.C.

"Hey F.C." I text with a smiley face. I tap on my phone, waiting for a reply. Soon my phone makes a ding sound and I look at my messages.

"Hey, Ali." He types back. I smile at the text. I've known him ever since high school. He's really special to me. I didn't have many friends in high school so it was nice to have him. 

"What's up?" I text back. Soon the bubbles appear. He's texting back.

"Well, my sister is kind of being annoying." He texts with a little-worried laugh face. He has an older sister. I'm not sure that I ever met her, but I'm sure one day I'll meet her.

"Lol." I send with a goofy face. He complains about her often. Not every day, but often. 

"Yeah. So we still up for some gaming tonight?" I smile. I've always been a gamer. He has been no better than me! He is so hardcore. He always plays games. He's a few years older than me, he was in college before me and got out before me so he just plays games all day and all night I think. 

"Sure thing F.C." I text with a laughing face. I am in need of a good grind.

"So how r u?" I laugh softly. He always uses short forms.

"Good I guess my roommates r so annoying and I kind of want to move but I don't have the money to get my own place." I text with a worried face. I guess I'm no better.

"Why don't you move in with your brother or sister?" My eyes lit up. That's a perfect idea.

"GREAT IDEA! Im going to listen to you like I always do bye!" I send it with a bunch of emojis. I am really crazy. 

"Bye." He texts back. I smile at my phone as I put it on my nightstand. Man, I love him sometimes. I get changed and call Aphmau, my big sister... no answer

Weird, she used to always answer...

So I then text the best big brother ever.

(This character is original)

"Hey, big bro." I text with a smiley face. My big brother is my best friend that I've ever had because he HAS to deal with me whether he likes it or not. So if F.C. is mad at me, I can go bug my brother. 

"Hey, sis. What's up." He sends me fifteen million smiley faces. He's been happy all the time since high school. He's a stereotypical gay guy. He tries to hide it, but every one could tell. 

"Can I move in with you?" I texted with a sad and beg face. He's super nice, so he'll say yes.

"Of course! But why?? I thought that u were with ur friends at a nice house?" He said with a confused face emoji. I groan. The house is near a high school so almost every night they're having a rave of some sort. Not a nice house.

"Well... I've been wanting to live somewhere else for a while and I got sick and tired of the boys so now I want to move. I've wanted my own place for a long time, so I'm just going to stay with you." It's the closest thing of got to living alone. 

"Ok." I smile at the text. 

"Ok bye~"

"Bye~" I smile down at my phone. I love my big brother. I get my stuff together and spend a few days getting ready for the move.

Soon enough I'm ready to leave. I get everything I own packed, but I'll need help with my bed and other stuff.

Time to get moving.

~SKIP~TIME~

"Hey, Dakota!" I say as I get out of my car, the moving truck slowly coming in behind me. I run over to see Dakota at his doorway waiting for me. I go over to him and hug him. 

"Hey, Ali." He says to me with a smile. I could see from the corner of my eye that someone was behind him.

"Oh? Who is this?" I ask, looking at my brother. Last time I checked, he lived alone.

"I'm Travis." He says, behind from behind my brother.

"Hmm." I look behind Dakota to see a boy with a flirtatious smirk on his face. A little unsettling. 

"Oh, this is my little sister Alice." My brother says as he looks at what I think is his friend. 

"I know." The man walks over to me and puts his hands on my waist, pulling me closer. I blushed out of shock. I'm pretty sure this is harassment or just unwanted touching.

"Um, what are you doing? Fuck off." I snap. Dakota pulls us apart and walks over in front of me to block that man from me.

"Ok, that's enough Travis." Dakota gave him an angry smile, my brother has been worried about a lot of things, and my health is one of them. He had always been protective of me, I don't mind it most of the time. Travis raises his eyebrow.

"What do you mean? This is my girl." I felt a nerve snap in me.

"What do you think you're doing!" He walks back.

"Ok, ok!" He walks away.

What is his problem? Don't know. Don't care.

"Hey, I'm going to go call Aph and ask what's up," I say looking at my phone.

"Ok!" He smiles and walks me inside. I love my brother.

"I'm going to go make dinner and I will call you when it's ready." I smile back at him, I try and call Aph, but she still didn't answer. So Dakota shows me where my room is and I put my stuff in it, including my bed and other heavy things I own and make it look good. After a sigh with a smile, I jump on my bed and play games on my phone.

~SKIP ~TIME~

After watching some YouTube, I get a phone call.

Anonymous number. Hmm, who is this? I answer the phone.

"Hello?" I say in a tired and questioning tone.

"Hello, is this Ms. Phoenix?" It was an older woman. Her tone was blank and firm. She sounded like a woman on a mission.  

"Present," I say, sounding tired. I rub my hand on my face, it's probably for my student tax or something.

"This is Mrs. Lycan and one of my sons is dating your sister, don't even ask how I know." I had to think. Who had the last name of Lycan, but wait. This is about my sister.

"You mean Aphmau?" I question, kind of protective as well. You never know what some random person would want with your sister so you have to have your guard up. 

"Yes, and I need you to go and see her and get my son to talk to me again." I couldn't begin to understand what this old woman was trying to say to me. I don't even know her son, but apparently, he's dating my older sister. 

"Excuse me? Why don't you just talk to him yourself? He's your son." I don't want to get into family drama if I don't need to. It isn't my problem and I'm tired.

"Why don't you go find your sister? She's your sister."

"Point made."

Well, I guess I have to do some work for an old lady.

Great.
