Chapter 4

It was 1 am on Saturday morning. My cell phone on my bedside table rang loudly. I slammed my hand on the phone, grabbed it and put it to my ear.

"Hello? Hello?" I looked at the phone and realized it wasn't open. I flipped it open and yawned.

"Hello?" I asked groggily.

"Shorty." Squid said his voice loud and panicky. This got my attention. I sat upright in my bed.

"Squid, is everything okay? It's 1 am." I asked worriedly.

"Not really…" His voice trailed off. I could hear sirens in the background.

"Squid!" I said angrily. "What's going on?" He started stuttering.

"It's my mom." Squid said quietly. I knew he had begun to cry.

"Say no more. I'm on my way." I hung up, grabbed a sweatshirt. I dialed Amber's number. She already heard from ZigZag and was on her way to get me right now. When Amber got to my house we sped off to Squids. Outside his house there was an ambulance and a couple of police cars. I opened my car door, spotted Squid and ran to him. I embraced him in the biggest hug I could. Finally I looked up at him.

"What's going on?" I asked stepping away from him.

"I found my mom, stoned and drunk as always but this time she was breathing really weird. I got scared and called 911. They think she mixed her pills with alcohol. They say she was lucky I found her when I did." Squid sniffled.

"I'm sure she's gonna be okay." I said, trying to be reassuring.

"Hey buddy." ZigZag and Amber came over. ZigZag and Squid did a little hand shake and Amber hugged Squid.

"Excuse me are you Alan Smith?" A policeman came over to us.

"Yeah." Squid said, clearing his throat.

"Would you like to ride in the ambulance with your mother to the hospital?" He asked. Squid looked at me. I nodded towards the ambulance. He sighed and walked off with the officer. He turned around and called to me.

"You better follow me in Amber's car." Then he turned back around and walked off. We ran to the car, hopped in and drove after the ambulance. The car was quite the whole way there.


Once we were there we ran in to the waiting room to see Squid sitting there. He looked up at us and smiled. I took a seat next to him while Amber and ZigZag sat across from us. I took Squids hand and held up, rubbing it softly every so often. The doors opened and there was a little girl standing there. She approached us and looked at Squid.

"Hi." She said quietly. Squid looked at me before responding.

"Erm, hi?" He said, well more like asked.

"I was wondering if I could sit with you guys. My mommy's in the emergency and the doctor told me to come in here." She looked at us and pulled on a strand of her hair nervously.

"Hi I'm Kelly." I told the girl. Her eyes were filled with fear and her straggly hair was pulled back into a pony tail. She smiled at me. "I'm his girlfriend. I love your dress." Her dress was torn and too big for her.

"Thank you." She said quietly. I smiled once more and patted the seat next to me. She slowly walked over and sat in it.

"What's your name?" Amber asked the girl.

"Abigail." She said softly, almost whispering. Squid and ZigZag drifted into their own conversation, seeing as though they didn't find little girls adorable.

"Well Abigail, what brings you to this scary place? It's no place for a little girl to be all by herself." I asked her, trying to be as subtle about her situation as possible.

"My daddy hit my mommy." My eyes widened as I looked at the girl. She seemed unfazed by it. I couldn't imagine seeing my mother hit by my father. Course I never would have gotten the chance since they divorced when I was 1.

"Alan Smith?" A doctor came into the waiting room. Squid stood up and looked at us. We all gave him our 'go see the damn doctor' looks.

"You're mother; she's going to be alright." I could see Squid let out a sigh of relief. "However, we have registered her at a rehab in Dallas for 6 weeks for her drug and alcohol abuse." Squid nodded.

"I figured you guys were going to do something like that." Squid said. The doctor nodded, had Squid sign something and told us we could go home if we all wanted to. Walking out with Squid, Amber and ZigZag was quiet. It was a good quiet though. I could tell Squid was happy that his mom was actually getting some help. In the car, Amber drove with Zig in the front and Squid and I in the back. We all remained quiet in the car. Suddenly, out of no where, Squid kissed me, and a long good one at that. He stopped and smiled. I looked at him quizzically.

"What was that for?" I asked.

"Do I need a reason?" He replied, remembering the first time he kissed me at Camp Green Lake.

"Nope, none whatsoever." I said, kissing him lightly. We smiled and realized that we were pulling up to my driveway. Squid got out along with me.

"Do you want to spend the night?" I asked sincerely. He nodded and we walked into the house. It was probably 2:30 am, thankfully it was Saturday. My mother was standing in the doorway.

"Kelly! Thank god you're home. I saw the note. Oh Alan I'm so sorry." She pulled Squid into a hug who looked shocked as he slowly patted my moms back.

"Mom, can Squid spend the night? It's kinda been a rough one." I said, looking at her hopefully.

"Of course! Anytime you want to you are welcome here!" My mom said pulling Squid into yet another hug. "I'll go get a sleeping bag and some pillows. You don't mind the floor do you?" She asked. Squid shook his head. She smiled and flounced off. We walked to my room and a cleared a space on the floor.

"You sure you don't mind the floor?" I asked. "Because we do have a couch and the basement has a cot that…" Squid held up his hand.

"It's fine, really." He said. I smiled then I remember the whole screen name ordeal.

"Squid, there's something I want to ask you." I said, sitting on my bed. He looked at me confused. "I was at Amber's house and we were online. Amber got all excited and was all like oh goodie Alan and Ricky are on. Of course I wasn't aware that you had a screen name." I crossed my arms and Squid looked embarrassed.

"I had just gotten that screen name like 5 min before you guys IMed me. I was at Zig's house and he told me that we were seniors and I needed a screen name. You're on my buddy list, just so you know. Zig had already made it so Amber had it. He said he couldn't get a hold of you." He added. I looked at him. Do I trust him, do I not trust him. He seems like he's telling the truth. I smiled.

"Ok. I don't know why I was all worried." We both laughed. My mom came in a dumped the stuff on the floor and laughed.

"Do you think I'm going to let you sleep in here? Wrong-o." Squid picked the stuff up and followed my mom out the room to my brother's room.


It was 9:30 the next morning. I got up, put on my slippers and headed to the kitchen, completely forgetting that Squid had spent the night. I walked into the kitchen and to my surprise, there was Squid talking with my brother, eating a bowl of Coco puffs.

"G'morning!" Squid said cheerily. I rubbed my eyes and yawned.

"Good morning to you too. Did you have a good sleep?" I asked while getting my bowl down.

"It was alright." Squid said, taking a spoonful of coco puffs and shoving it in his mouth. I poured the cereal in my bowl and took a seat at the table. "You?" He asked. I shrugged and took in a spoonful of cereal. My mom came into the room.

"It's so much quieter now that Jackie took the baby and got her own apartment." My mom said, taking the grape nuts out of the cabinet. "Oh Alan dear did you sleep well?" Squid nodded since his mouth was full of cereal. "Good, good." My mom said, pouring herself a bowl.

"So Squid, what do you want to do today?" I asked, facing him. He shrugged.

"I don't know." He replied simply. I sighed.

"We could, go to the park, the movies, go for a walk, bowling, put-put (mini golf), visit some old friends around Texas…you name it." My mom and brother were watching us as we decided on our plans.

"We could go to the park and hang out, then go to the movies." Squid said, shrugging. I smiled.

"Alrighty sounds good." I said, bringing my bowl to the counter. "Let me change and I'll be ready in a Flash…ugh, flash." That word made me remember the awful guy at Camp. I flounced off to my room and picked out my clothes. I glanced at my cell for any new texts and surprisingly I had one. I looked at it mortified of whose name was on my cell.
