Chapter 11

Alexandra's POV

My crusty eyes peel open, I yawned, calmness spreading through me. I relaxed at the lack of adrenaline that had pumped through me. I vision clears, and I wipe my eyes but don't sit up, I let myself enjoy the softness of the sheets and sink in. "Alex, baby?" There's the stress again. I started to panic, just noticing the big machine. And noticing I am not controlling my own breaths "Baby, shhh it's okay! It's called a BiPAP. It helps you breathe." The same voice cooes. I claw at the mask, wanting it off, and as if on cue it's removed.

I took a huge breath of relief. Then reality came rushing toward me. "Where am I! What happened!"

"Shhh, it's Jen. The doctors say you'll recover soon, you just have to focus on redeeming your memory." A shaky, yet reassuring voice said. I nodded, closing my eyes. No! Don't trust them, trust me, sis. The last words rang in my head, and I bit back a scream. The sound of a belt whip cracks in my brain, and I wrap my arms around Jen's neck. "I- I think, I remember. J-jen?"

-Two Weeks Later-

I bit into a glutton free muffin, savouring the flavor. Pat puts a plate of eggs in front of me, breakfast for dinner! I nodded graciously and scooped it into my mouth. "So remind me again, who is my sister?" I ask. My memory is still recovering, "Evangaline." Jen croaked. I felt a pang in the stomach. "And my parents are dead?" I gulped. They nodded. "We adopted you, sweetie." Jen says. I nod. "I think I'm starting to remember now!" I say sweetly. "You're mommy! You're daddy!" I said, pointing at them for emphasis. They nodded and smiled.

"But why can't I eat bread?" I asked, frowning at the loaf in the trash. "You're glutton intolerant." Pat- I mean Daddy- says. "Oh." I said, I continued to eat my muffin. "How did Evangaline reach me through my dreams?" I asked mainly myself. "We don't know, Alex." Mommy said. "I HAVE AN EPIC IDEA!" Daddy yells.
I flinch at his outburst and giggle.

He pulled out a camera and I immediately feel shy. "Hey dudes! So you know Alex has been a little, forgetful, but here she is and better than ever!" He says, I rub my temples, trying to grab the memory pinching at my brain. "Say hi Alex!" My Mommy whispers, I wave at the camera, smiley sweetly. "Hello!" I say cheerfully, smoothing out my blue skirt. Mommy and Daddy look deflated almost immediately.

I frowned, but then I remember. "Hello people of the internet!" I say as if correcting myself. They smile at the camera. I cleared my throat and sat my muffin on the plate. "So we've been avoiding this, but we think it's time to tell you guys something!" Daddy says. I grow nervous he'll tell them about Evangaline, but he wouldn't do that, would he? "So Alex has NCGS, Non- Celiac Glutton Sensitivity. Also known as as Celiac Disease, and she cannot have glutton."

My mom explains. I nod and look at the floor, twisting my shoe on the floor. I hate knowing what happened. I realize they were staring and I shake my head. "Sorry! I was daydreaming!" I smile, giggling. They sigh and smile at me and turned to the camera. "We'll have more videos up soon!"

He closes the camera and I burst into a fit of laughter. "What the heck is going on in your head?" Jen says playfully. I wipe tears from my eyes and giggle. "We haven't done any of those in a long time! I feel so much better!" I yelled excitedly, doing a back aeriel. "Woah! Alex calm down you'll hurt yourself!" Daddy laughs. I giggled. I look at myself in the wall mirror, my hair had grown so long, it was at my waist!

"My hair is really long!" I gasp. They laugh as Daddy picks me up. He hoists me on his shoulders.

"Wanna get it cut?" My mommy says, pointing a finger at me as if I'd back down. "No! I like it!" I say shaking my head. She laughs. Cloud rubs up against me and I giggle.

"BEDTIME!" Daddy says playfully. He immediately looks like he could take it back, we all get nervous. "Okay." I croak, walking up the stairs. "Why don't you sleep with us?" Mommy offers.

I nodded and smiled vutely to lightwn the mood. I ran up the stairs and hopped on their bed.

About a minute later they walked in. "Slowpokes!" I say, poking a accusive finger at them. They laugh and get on either sides of me. Mommy kisses my forehead and whispers for me to go to sleep.

I close my eyes, and within an instant I'm asleep.
