Lonely In This Big World 6

Chapter 6

I stopped puking a while ago. It was just me sitting on the couch now. I had pulled my knees up to my chest, feeling the soft drumming on my chest and passing through to my legs. The heat on my face was unbearable.

I couldn’t help but follow that stupid voice in my head. My conscience. It was prodding me once again. Face the truth. You know you never really belonged in your family. Not once your mother left, and your father too. You were alone. This is the time you get to meet your family.

No, I have a family. So what if it’s dysfunctional, right? Not everyone’s family can be perfect. So what if they are, or aren’t my parents. They raised me. They loved me, even if it was slightly twisted and wrong. That’s what counts.

I was looking who were seemed to be my mum and dad. I don’t think they are to be honest. Maybe we can have those DNA tests?

I looked at them. They looked like nice people. But these days, you can’t trust people. I had trusted Jacob, and he spread lies about me. I trusted Jett, and he kidnapped me. I trusted Roan, and he said I was adopted.

“So...” I said looking at the man and woman in front of me. I had to admit, they look way too young to be parents, let alone middle aged. They looked about mid twenties. Wait, if what Roan says is true, then he’s the devil, and she’s an angel. Isn’t that wrong, or forbidden? Or just plain disgusting?

Aren’t holy people, or angels and devils or whatever not supposed to have sex? Isn’t that just taking away their holiness? Ew.

“You’re really inquisitive aren’t you?” The man said laughing. The woman smiled with him nodding. What?

“Pardon?” I said politely. I don’t want to come across as I really am. Stupid, flawed, inappropriate? I chuckled at the thought.

“You have a lot of questions. We can hear your thoughts.” The woman said smiling. What the hell? Either this is the truth, or I’m definitely going crazy.

“You aren’t crazy” The man said. Should I call him dad? What do I call him? Mr Devil. I can imagine that conversation go down.

-Mr Devil.

-What’d you call me?!

-Mr Devil?

-I hate it when people call me that!

Devil zaps me, and I die.

I laugh at the little weird short daydream. I am so going crazy. I’m such a freak. How did I have friends before? Oh wait, that’s right, they liked me for Jacob. Ha, so much for anyone saving me. If I need to be saved.

Do I need to be saved? Wait, I can save myself. I’m awesome like that. Remember, super Gia. Gia the awesomeness. Gia = superwoman. I could have my own show. That would be cool. I could beat up people, like Kay. Okay, maybe I’m taking this over board. I’m not that awesome.

But beating up Kay, I’ve done that. I need a mission two. What should it be? Having fun. Running away from here.

Learning to listen?

Ha. No. But I should, shouldn’t I?

The devil was laughing, and the woman was on her side crying not able to breathe as she went red, and silently laughed. Okay, either I’m definitely going crazy, or they’re reading my thoughts, and found it funny as I do.

“The second one” The guy said between breaths. I laughed awkwardly. Well then, I’m an idiot. Strangers just read my thoughts, saw my little daydream, and inner monologue and laughed at it. At least I made them laugh?

They stopped after ten minutes, as I continued to ramble on.

I cleared my throat awkwardly. “Sorry bout that” I said going red.

“Trust me, you don’t need to be, that was so funny!” The lady said laughing. “The daydream was awesome. Imagine Lucas doing that. That would be never. The bonding and all. But it was funny. Mr Devil! Hahaha” She continued, tears falling as she laughed.

“Well we know where you get your rambling from” Lucas said sticking his tongue out at her.

“Well at least I’m not immature” She said smiling.

“Maybe I am your kid.” I mumbled smiling. Both their heads snapped towards me, grinning like idiots. Hope they didn’t hear that.

“We did and you are our kid.”

I cleared my throat, and rubbed the back of my neck, whilst getting up. “Yeah, well, I’m going to go find Jett or something. I wanna go do something. You know about the mission. Well I have to do another one. Something fun. Like find these weird powers you were on about. Where would they be? In a garden surrounded by ninja’s or something?” I said rambling as usual when I wanted to avoid a topic. Hope they didn’t hear that for sure.

“Babe. The powers are inside you. You just have to embrace them. Now that you know, they’ll probably work. It’s kind of how it works. Once you know, you get them, kind of thing. And Jett, well he’s probably somewhere in the kitchen from where I’m listening” The lady said. “Oh my names Leona by the way. So you stop saying ‘that lady’.” She said smiling.

“Yeah, sorry bout that” I said smiling apologetically to her.

I walked out to the kitchen, and sure enough Jett was there eating a sandwich and mumbling to himself about a girl and what he was thinking. Maybe it was me? Nope, that’s crazy. Like me.

“Hey, dork, I need your help!” I said poking him and sitting on the stool next to him.

“I’m not taking you home” He said bluntly. I wasn’t even going to say that!

“Not that. I need you to help me get my powers from the garden surrounded by ninja’s” I said trying to confuse him, and make him explain it to me.

“I know you know how your powers work. I heard, so HA! And yeah I’ll help” He said grinning.

“You ruined the joke.”

“Well there isn’t ninjas in real life!”

“Yeah well, there’s no you in real life!”

“THAT DOESN’T MAKE SENSE!”

“YOU DON’T HAVE SENSE!” I said poking my tongue.

“THAT DIDN’T MAKE SENSE EITHER!”

“YEAH WELL, I’M A NINJA. SO YOU’RE A LIAR. AND CAN I HAVE A BITE OF YOUR SANDWICH?” I said shouting, even though we were centimetres apart.

“SURE, BUT WHY ARE WE SHOUTING?” He said laughing.

“I don’t know, you’re just a freak?” I said in a normal tone. I took his sandwich and began to walk towards some glass doors. Guessing they lead outside? I turned back to Jett’s shocked face.

“You coming or what?” I said. He nodded quickly laughing and hopped of the stool and walked beside me.

He’s such a cute idiot. Wait, cute?
