One Day: A Fictional Narrative

Aleena snuck out at midnight just like she had done once a week for the past ten years. The year was 3015 and ever since having a family had been outlawed in 3005 she had gone to see her son Barret every wednesday night. As she approached the raisment center building she pulled out her bobby pin and picked the lock and walked to her sons room.
As soon as Barrett saw her he said “why do you come to see me you know it is illegal and could get thrown in jail.”
“I know” Aleena said quietly “I just don’t like how they took you away from me When you were only 5.”
Barrett opened his mouth to say something but then the door opened and Carol walked through and yelled “WHO ARE YOU TALKING TO?” “I’m talkin to myself” Barrett lied quietly. “Well quiet down I’m trying to sleep” said Carol and then she clumsily stumbled out of the room.

“See she is becoming more suspicious of me”
“OK, but still I want to see you”, “You are my only son” Aleena said.

“Let's go to High hill where we can talk without being discovered.”

They walked With science hanging between them like a sheet, but with their ideas floating in their heads like clouds.

When they got to the top Aleena sat down and said “we used to be so close. What happened?”, “I grew up” said Barrett. “You sure have, you’ve gotten taller, you’re even taller than me now.”
Barrett looked at Aleena and said “you don’t have to come see me any more, Carol is doing a good job of raising me.”
“I know” said Aleena, “And that is what worries me.”
“I will see you every day in three years when I turn 18.”
“Promise” says Aleena
“Of course” says Barrett

They start to head down the hill and they both know that Aleena is going to come back next wednesday, and the wednesday after that until Barrett turned

18.

Half way down the hill Barrett says “why do you come to see me?, I tell every time you come I don't like it and yet you keep coming back”
“I keep coming” Aleena says “Because it makes me happy” Barrett looks over at her and sees a tear roll down her cheek.
They walk the rest of the way in silence. Aleena hoping Barrett would change his mind, and Barrett hoping his mother will not come back next week.

When they arrive Barrett goes to the window and opens it but then a blaring alarm goes off and Barrett yells at Aleena “Look what you did” “FREEZE” Yelled carol “you have the right to remain silent” “You know associating with your son before he turns 18 is illegal, and now you are going to jail!”

“Ok” says Aleena “When will I get out?” But carol did not have to answer the question, Aleena and Barrett both knew that Aleena would be in jail for the rest of her life.
As Barrett watches the cop car drive off he says quietly to himself “I wish I did not push her away.”
