My Book

I'm getting to the end of my book I will try to make it as slow as possible I don't want to rush anything but I went back a few days ago and I really was not happy how I put some stuff so once I finish the book I will probably go back and fix some stuff then I will put up ONE complete and final draft of the book.

Chapter 13: Jesse


Jesse left Alice at the door, gave her back her bag, gave her a kiss on the cheek and left. He walked to his house and his mom wasn’t even home. So, he said goodbye to his dad gave his baby brothers forehead, and went out. Along the way he dropped by the bookstore and bought the new Kat Summerton book. This was the first book written by Kat that was not about Lisa. This story was about Lisa’s mom Bianca and how she fell in love with this gorgeous man and it wasn’t until her mother died that she realized she didn’t love him anymore. Jesse walked over to this little stream that had this beautiful big tree, it was extra beautiful today because it was the third day of fall so the leaves were starting to fall.  He found this part in chapter two that he thought was really cute it said:
            “I loved him, and he loved me two. We wanted to make our love last forever. So we went to the place where we first met. It was our favorite park and it had this BIG beautiful tree and in the fall the leaves would fall off and only the green ones would stay up. It was like a magic tree it would always have green leaves. We carved our names in the tree and drew a heart over it. As long as that tree was alive, our love would be to.”
Jesse turned around and realized that the tree he was leaning on looked exactly like it. So, he stood up went to the back of the tree and got ready to carve his and Alice’s names into it. Until he realized that the spot where he wanted to carve his name was already taken. It said: Kat + Marcus <3 our love will last forever.
“This is the tree that Kat Summerton wrote about, wait… Kat + Marcus? KATHERINE + MARCUS!! That’s Alice’s parents that means Kat Summerton is really Katherine Sumserly. It all makes sense that’s why Katherine said she couldn’t go to the castle because…. Okay well I haven’t figured that out yet but I will. If this book is all based on the truth then somewhere in here she must give a clue to where she is.”
Jesse read the whole book in the matter of an hour and it wasn’t until the last page where he had the slightest hint of where she is:
            “Even though I left, I still love him. Everyday I look out my window and I see the life I left behind. To them I am just this little thing floating in the ocean, just a distant memory. But, to me they will always be my family. I can see them but I always wonder if they see me, and if they do, do they still love me. I’m sorry.”
Jesse pulled out 2 pieces of paper from his bag. The first one he wrote on he wrote
                                                Clues
1)   Everyday I look out my window and I see the life I left behind.
Wherever she is at, she can see New Castle.
2)     I am just this little thing floating in the ocean
She lives on an island
3)    I wonder if they can see me.
They? The King? Alice? The castle!
She lives on an island and she can see the castle!
On the second paper Jesse drew a map of New Castle, pinpointing exactly where he was, pointing out all the islands, which weren’t that many there were only 3 but each one was on a different side of the castle so it could be anyone of those. He jumped up and ran up to the castle it was 10 p.m. and his shift would start in 2 hours. So, all he had to do was

Chapter 12: I love you dad


It took them 2 hours to get home. Alice walked through the door and there was her dad waiting for her. He picked her up and gave her the biggest hug he has ever given her.
“Alice!!! Your home! I’ve been so worried. Please I am begging you never do that again!”
“Ha, Dad I promise. I’ve missed you. I love you.”
And for the first time in a long time Alice meant it, she loved her dad, he was always there for her and no matter how much she wanted a mother, she didn’t have one. She had a dad that loved her very much.
She told her father good night, they had spent about 4 hours talking about where she had gone, she couldn’t tell her dad so she told him she went for a walk then she got lost, which was partially true. She went up to her room, laid on her bed and thought about what Jesse was doing. Then she realized was that he said he worked in the castle in the nights, so she would go see him in the night. She set her alarm and grabbed The Great Adventures of Lisa the Great.  She knew that would make her sleep, she always finished one chapter then falls asleep, and lately her dreams involve her mom so tonight she was a little bit nervous of what tonight’s dream would bring. She closed her eyes, smiled, and realized it would only be 3 more hours until her alarm would go off and she could see Jesse.

Chapter 11: I like you to


“What in the world is so funny about that Jesse? YOU told me yourself you did not like me. So, excuse me in thinking that meant you didn’t like me.”
Even though Alice was frustrated that he wouldn’t take her seriously, there was still something inside of her that was happy that he was laughing. She was afraid that he was going to list a whole bunch of things he didn’t like about her, and the more Jesse was laughing the more the redness in her cheeks became prominent.
“Alice, Alice, Alice. Of course I like you. If I didn’t like you would I spend the nights guarding the castle, I don’t do it for money. I do it so we can spend more time together. That’s why I came with you, so we can be together.”
Alice had always dreamt of Jesse telling this to her but she had never had imagined that it would actually, she always thought of it as just a dream, a wish. And know that it had actually happened, she was crying.
“Alice, are you okay? Why are you crying? If it is because you don’t like me I’ll understand…” No, no he wouldn’t. “ We will just be friends if that’s what you want.”
 Jesse was expecting her to say “ Jesse, I only like you as a brother…” but most of the time when he thought about what Alice would do or say he would usually be wrong, and this was another one of those times. All of a sudden Alice was laughing, she went into full hysterias, she started crying even more but this time it wasn’t because she was happy it was because she was laughing so much.
What a ridiculous concept! Me, only want to be friends with Jesse. HAHAHAHA!! That would defiantly be on top of my things I DON’T want to do list!” Alice thought.
“Jesse…. trust me… I do not…. want to be… just friends… with… you.”
“You Don’t?”
By this time Alice wasn’t laughing anymore she was right in front of Jesse, looking into his gorgeous caramel eyes.
“Nothing would make me happier then being with you.”
Jesse looked back at her chocolate eyes, playing with her shoulder – length brown curly hair, and even though he knew Alice wouldn’t lie to him, he knew that there was one thing that would make her happier, and he was going to get her that. He was going to find her mom, but she had to go home first. The king will be looking for her and if he finds out he was with her looking for her mom, he will loose his job and Alice.
“Alice, we’re going back home. If we take the motorcycle we will be home in the matter of hours. Alice, you’ve got to realize it’ over, we’ve looked for her. You have to move on. “
“You’re right. Let’s go home.”

Chapter 10: The Truth


“I work as a security guard. In the nights I go to the castle and I wait outside to make sure nobody gets in”
“What? That’s impossible. I know all of the workers.”
“Yeah you’re right you do. You know me don’t you? That is the reason that your dad has kept me around so long because I am your best friend and he knows how much my family needs the money.”
In the middle of all the confusion Alice and Jesse didn’t even notice that Chris left. He had to fulfill his mission, but what Jesse doesn’t know is that Chris was going to find Alice’s mom. He was going to find her and tell her that Alice died. Yes, it is mean but he had to impress the king.
“You know Jesse I don’t think anyone has ever done anything so nice to me.”
Then all of a sudden, out of nowhere Alice was in his arms, and she was crying. She realized just how much her dad really loved her, yeah he could always be a little better but after all that he’s gone through she was all he has left, and she really did love her dad.
“Jesse you know what we don’t need Chris’ help, we will find my mom by ourselves together.”
She grabs his hand and smiles at him.
“Okay, but first I have to ask you. Why do you want your mom so much? I know that she is your mom, but she left you, she didn’t care that you were here.”
“I just want to know why she left, for some reason I feel like she still loves me. I know that she does, and I want to know why she isn’t here.’
So, there Jesse and Alice went, they walked they were about 30 minutes behind Chris but still they couldn’t see him. He was to fast he had found the real shortcut, he had no idea what he was going to do once he found Alice’s mom but he would no disappoint the future king, this was his goal, the king promised him that he would give Chris the kingdom once he died. He really didn’t care for the future king, he actually liked King Marcus but with King Marcus he wouldn’t get the thrown once he died, so his choice was obvious. He really never had a choice.
“Jesse, can I ask you a question?” Alice had to know why he didn’t like her.
“Of course, Alice. What kind of question is that? Anything for you princess.” Jesse added a bit of sarcasm at the end.
“Oh, Whatever, ha-ha anyways… Why is it that … you don’t like me?” Alice started to get a little shy at the end.
“HA-HA-HA-HA!! Oh, silly Alice. Why in the whole wide world would you think that I didn’t like you?” Jesse was laughing so hard that he had stopped walking.
