Chapter 1/Back from Jumanji
(Bethany POV)
My friends and I finally returned from the game of Jumanji and it was such a great adventure just building new friendships and discovering myself,other than the self obsessed old Bethany which I’ve grown to loathe with a fiery passion.I hated who I once was being the center of attention, and being very popular.I’ve learned so many new things on this wild adventure, and when I looked around at my friends I noticed Martha,Fridge,Spencer,but where was Alex? Was he supposed to return with us? “Where’s Alex?”I said with a worried look,”Ummm Bethany do you think he’s at his home or something?”Martha said,that’s when all four of us walked to his house.
When Fridge,Martha,Spencer,and I made it to his house I’ve noticed that it didn’t look like it once did.That’s when a mini-van pulled up,and I noticed a much older man that’s when I whispered to myself,” Alex,”that’s when he noticed all four of us and he called to his dad,”Hey Dad can you take care of this?” Alex walks towards us while smiling at me and my best friends,”Bethany” he pointed at me after smiling,”Spencer..... Ruby Roundhouse....and Fridge.”That’s when he looked really sad behind his eyes,”You’re an adult now and you have a family,”I said while almost crying but tried to smile,”This is Andy and my daughter is named Bethany I named her after the girl who saved my life.”I fully didn’t know what to say I was utterly surprised for words so instead I just smiled,”So stoked,”Alex said with so much enthusiasm but behind his eyes I could noticed he looked sad.That’s when my team and I said bye to Alex,when he walked away towards his house I saw him and he never looked back.
(Alex POV)
I was so surprised when I saw Bethany, Spencer,Fridge,and Martha standing outside of my house on the street I was really surprised and shocked to see them. I finally walked into my house holding my son Andy while Bethany was entertaining her grandpa.”Hey dad I’m going to get the Christmas tree can you watch Andy?” He looked up at me and nodded,that’s when I went to retrieve the tree from the top of the van.
5 minutes later
When I finally walked into my house carrying the Christmas tree I’ve noticed my father making my children laugh it made me so happy to just be a father. That’s when the tree was officially up,and I was enjoying my life outside the world of Jumanji.
(Bethany POV)
When I finally arrived home from finally seeing Alex I was laying on my bed looking up at the ceiling.Why do I always think about Alex? Well in the game I was in love with him but could I be in love with the older Alex? That’s when I finally yet realized it that yes I was in love with Alex even though he was 20 years older than I am.”Hey honey?”I grew startled when it was just my mom checking up on me,” What’s been going on recently? Boy problems? Is it about Noah? Did he hurt if he did -“That’s when I silenced her,”Mom I’m perfectly okay well I did break up with Noah it’s just that I’m not feeling well or anything.”She sat right beside me and kissed my cheek,”Bethany honey please tell me why you aren’t feeling well I can help you because I’m your mother,”I don’t think I should fully tell her the truth that I got sucked into a video game which is called Jumanji along with my friends. Doesn’t that just sound odd or something? Then she would make me see a therapist which I didn’t want to do.”Well mom the full reason why I ain’t feeling well....it’s ummm,”what should I think of?”my period...I have painful cramps.”That’s when she kissed my forehead,”Beth honey you should have told me! I’ll just make you some chicken noodle soup,lay on your stomach it will ease the pain.”That’s when my mother left my bedroom while shutting my door,I have to get used to being in the real world other than Jumanji.My mom came one hour later to deliver my soup and the rest of the day went meh,but well the last day of school was tomorrow and then I was going to begin my new life beyond high school.
