My Roots

      On the way home Dean and I talked. We talked about life itself. He told me about his childhood and I told him about mine.

      "So Alisa where are you originally from?"

      I haven't thought about my home town lately. I was originally born and 'raised' in Davenport, Iowa. I hated it there, the kids where always jerks to me and honestly the only person nice to me was my older sister. She was always the one I looked up to and she always took care of me. One night she left. I begged her to let me go with her, but she told me to stay and that she would be back soon. She never came back, she left me forever, and the night I left, my focused was to go find her. Its been two years and now my focus is to be a WWE Diva.

      "What town are we in?"

      "How do you not know what town we're in?"

      "I don't pay attention to those things."

      "We're in Alford, Massachusetts."

      "Holy gosh I walked all the way from Davenport, Iowa to here!"

     

      Dean just looked at the geound, obviously thinking, about what, I couldn't tell you. Then he just kinda stopped in his tracks, so I did too. We were right in front of the door to our room. He looked at me the way someone would look at an animal at an animal with a broken leg, then he hugged, but I didn't hug back. I don't like attention.

      "Kiddo you know I'm not gonna let go till you hug back."

      I dont want to, but I also don't want to be standing here all day. I lifted both my hand and awkwardly patted him on the back. He let go of me then started to die of laughter. He was so loud that Seth opened the door to see what was going on.

      As soon as he saw me he hugged me. When he hugged me Dean laughed even harder than before.

      "What's up with him?", Seth whispered to me.

       "He's just being a meanie"

       We went inside the room and the first thing that I noticed was that Roman wasn't there. I started to get concerned. I guess Seth could tell because he instantly explained how Roman went to the gym to calm himself down.

      Dean and I decided to finish breakfast. During breakfast Dean told Seth about how he was planning to take me shopping for clothes. Seth said that he would go and he also texted Roman about it. Roman said yes. I still needed something different to wear for that day. It was either I go back to the bridge and get a different change of clothes or I have to borrow Seth, Deans, and Romans clothes. I knew they probably wouldn't let me go to the bridge, so I had to borrow clothes from them.

      I ended up borrowing one of Seth's shirts and Dean's leather jacket to wear to the store. I used the same jeans because the one with the smallest jeans was Seth and they still were huge on me. I also used the same shoes.

      As soon as I was done with my shower and getting dressed Roman showed up. He looked at me, he looked like he was gonna go crazy. He looked like the maddest man alive. His look mad me get really sad and deppresed. Then he noticed how he upset me and started to look sad. Not at me but at what he had done and how he yelled at me earlier.

      I knew he meant no harm and that he never wanted to upset me. He only wanted to let me know that I was more important than the way I treated myself. I felt bad for him. I gave him a hug, and of course Dean started to laugh his butt off.

      "Hey Alisa let's just ignore Dean and his stupidity for the moment and understand how sorry I am for freaking out at you earlier."

      "If anything I'm sorry I'm just used to putting myself down. When I was younger my parents and class mates always used to put me down and when your moving around a lot people seem to just assume that your a teenage dirt bag. I do things to myself that I don't appreciate, but it just kinda happens, I've Ben trying to tell myself that I'm better than what they make me seem like but I just can't convince myself."

      Talking about all this bought back memories of my past, my parents. I remember the night my sister left they told me if I ever left they would come and find me no matter what. I know that they have come very close to me, I've seen them before in nearby towns while out looking for food or clothes to snatch from people.

      I'm scared. I'm scared of what they will do.  They always like to seem like good people in public. Will they come up to me and hug me? Or will they attack me? My parents had a dark side. That had an obsession with war and torture and pain. They used my sister and I to satisfy that obsession. They would hurt us and beat us. They collected guns and knives. Seth's voice broke me out of my thoughts.

      "Where are you from anyways?"

      "I used to live in Davenport, Iowa."

 

      Seth looked at me in disbelief, so did Roman. Dean wasn't surprised at all. Then Dean spoke up, "I told you guys its a small world."

      "Do you realize that I'm from Davenport too."

      "If I did do you think that I would be just as surprised as you are!"

      I couldn't believe it. Does he know my family. If new does he's gonna tell me that I was crazy for running away.

      "Wait! Your Alisa Neldon, your older sister, Rebeca Neldon ran away a week before you did. We used to live on the same street. You ran away when I was wrestling in the indies!"

      I cringed at my last name. I hated it. Not because it was weird but because it showed that I belonged to those devils I used to live with.

      "We'll talk more about this in the car on the way to the mall.", Dean said with worry in his voice.

      I'm not sure how Seth feels about me since now he nows who I am. I just hope he doesn't think that I'm a spoiled, rebellious, prick.
