Chapter seven:

Sisters in love

They climbed out of the hole and walked back to camp hand in hand. They got to the tent just as the horn blew to wake everyone up. They walked in and everyone turned to stare that them. Squid kissed Ronnie hard then grabbed his clothes to change. Ronnie smiled to herself and grabbed her clothes as well. They got dressed then walked back out of the tent hand in hand again. Everyone just stared. Magnet was the only one smiling he was the only one happy for them. Joey looked over at him and his smile dropped. She started to cry. Rachel got pissed off and stormed out of the tent.

"Ray wait," Zigzag said as he ran after her.

"Rachel… Rachel stop." She stopped walking, but didn't turn to look at him. "Ray you can't do this to yourself." He said standing next to her.

"She's doing it she's leaving us again." She said with tears running down her face.

"Ray she's just trying to be happy." He said. She gave him a look of disbelief.

"We were perfectly happy when boys weren't in the picture. Why can't she just be my little sister again?"

"Rachel look at her she's not so little anymore. Why can't you and Joey let her be happy?" he asked getting mad.

"Oh what do you know." She yelled walking away from him.

"I know fucking plenty. She's scared and depressed. She hates doing this to you guys but she doesn't understand why you all can't be happy." He yelled back at her, as he ran up to her and stopped her.

"Because me and Joey don't know what it's like to be with someone and just be happy to be with them." She whispered to her feet.

"Are you saying you were never happy when you where with me?" he asked lifting her chin to make her look at him. She looked at him and tears leaked out of her eyes.

"Of course I am happy when I'm with you." She whispered to him. "But what happened when we get out of here and we never see each other again. I don't get attached because it hurts when they leave." She said fully crying now.

"Who says I'm going to leave you?" he asked. She smiled through her tears.

"We're 17 Zig… you can't stay with me forever." She explained still smiling.

"Why not?" he asked totally serious. Her smile faded and she looked up at him. He smiled. "I like you, ya know." She smiled.

"I like you too." then he kissed her.

Back inside the tent Joey had sunk to the floor she was sitting there letting her tears run freely down her face. Why was this happening? Why did it have to happen to them? She wanted all these answers but all she could come up with were more questions. Magnet walked over and sat next to her then hugged her. She lay in his arms and cried.

"I've lost her ya know." She whispered.

"No you didn't Joey, you never have and you never will. She just wants to be loved." Magnet said.

"I love her Rachel loves her aren't we good enough?" she asked looking up at him.

"Of course you are, but she needs more then that you all need more than that. She tries so hard to earn approval from you two that she hides and shuts herself off from everyone else. Joey she needs you and Rachel just like you need her. But she needs to be free from your prying eyes. If you guys didn't judge her or make her feel bad for what she does you all would get along so much better you all be so much more happy." He said looking her in the eye trying to get his point across. "And before you ask me how I know all this me and Ronnie talk. We talk a lot. She's a funny girl." He said with a smile.

"I didn't know she was funny." Joey said seriously. "I don't think I really know anything about her." She answered looking down at her hands.

"Then get to know her Joey and let her be with Squid. Then need each other more then you know." He lifted her chin and smiled at her so she smiled back then laid her head against his shoulder.

Later that day everyone was in a good mood. That is except for Zero and Caveman. What happened next shocked the hell out of everyone there. First Caveman and Zigzag got into a fight then Zero clocked Mom in the face with a shovel and ran away.

"You think something bad will happen to him?" Ronnie asked Squid as they sat on the wreck room couch together.

"I don't know. I hope not." He said never taking his eyes away from the T.V.

"Yeah me too," she answered looking back at the T.V. too. Caveman was sitting on the couch next to them thinking. He had no idea what he was going to do. His best friend was gone and he may never see him again.

The next week went by fast. The new kid 'twitch' was sent there for joy riding. The girls liked him he was so cute. The boys however didn't like him he took too much of the girls attention.

"So what car did they catch you in?" Joey asked one day sitting on the side of his hole.

"Mustang… convertible." He said smiling as the girls swooned over the car and him. Squid was pissed he walked over the Zigzag.

"Why do you think they like him?" he asked staring at the little shit.

"I don't know but the more they like him the more I hate him." He said slamming his shovel into the ground.

"Yeah me too." Squid said. Soon they were done with their holes and Squid went up to Ronnie wrapped his arm around her shoulders and walked ahead of the little 'twitch'.

"What's wrong with you?" she asked looking up at his hard face.

"Nothing why would something be wrong?" he asked not looking at her.

"Whatever there is to something wrong." She huffed looking out in front of them.

"What's wrong is that the girl that I'm in love with is hanging all over a little…boy." He spat the last word to get his point across.

"Are you serious?" she asked as she stopped walking. He stopped too to face her. "You said the exact word as to why you shouldn't be jealous of him… he's a boy!" she screamed.

"So what you spend more time with him then you do with me." He yelled back.

"Oh that is bullshit Alan and you know it. Get over it." She got up in his face. "If you haven't noticed I am 100 head over heels in love with you. How would a little boy change that? He's new and if you and the rest of you idiotic boys would get to know him you would think he's nice and funny too." She screamed in his face. Then she turned around and started walking toward the tent. "And you can sleep in your own cot tonight." She yelled over her shoulder.

"You read my mind." He yelled right back. He threw his shovel after her and groaned. Rachel looked over at Zigzag and they laughed.

"I better go see if she's okay." Rachel said.

"Yeah I'll go take care of 'Alan' over there." She smiled and ran off toward the tent.

"Man I knew you didn't like the kid but did you have to fight with her." Zigzag asked as he walked up to Squid.

"Shut up Zig, I just lost it. She not going to leave me do you think?" he asked with his face in his hands. Zigzag laughed.

"No man she's not going to leave you it was a fight everyone has them." He explained as they walked back to camp together.

Rachel wasn't having as much luck as Zigzag did. Ronnie was still throwing a fit.

"I can't believe that he would even think that I want that little car stealing shit." Ronnie huffed.

"Naw you go for the soon to be killers." Rachel mumbled with a smile on her face.

"Shut up Ray. How can he be jealous of him?" she asked pacing in front of her cot.

"Ron he's a guy they are all jealous of him."

"You think I was too harsh to say that he could sleep in his own cot?" she asked sitting down next to her sister.

"No Ron it was just a fight you guys will get over it in like two minutes." Rachel said and at that moment the boys walked into the tent. Squid walked over and sat down on the other side of Ronnie and Rachel got up and grabbed Zigzag's hand and walked out smiling.

"I'm sorry." Squid whispered.

"Me too." she whispered back putting her forehead against his. "You really didn't have to be jealous ya know."

"I know I just I don't know I just found you and I don't want to lose you." He said looking up at her. When she smiled he looked away.

"Alan look at me." Slowly he turned toward her. "You're never going to lose me. I'm going to stay right here I'm never leaving."

"You promise." Smiling at her none the same, he already knew the answer.

"I promise." Then she kissed him. He went to the front of her jumpsuit and started to unbutton it as she lay back on the bed. The kissing intensified when Caveman walked in.

"Um… hold on I'll leave." He said as he started going through his cubby.

"No no… sorry you don't have to go this is your tent to we shouldn't be doing anything anyway." Ronnie said sitting up. Squid groaned but got off her anyways.

"I didn't mean to interrupt anything I was just going to get my shower stuff." He said still going through his cubby.

"Well in that case can you hurry it up?" Squid laughed.

"Alan…" Ronnie hissed. "He was just kidding." Caveman laughed.

"It's alright Ronnie. I'm just going to go take a shower." He said as he walked out of the tent chuckling.

"Now let's finish what we started." Squid whispered in her hear as he nibbled on her lobe. She shivered and kissed him.

"So what do you think of Rachel and Zig?" Ronnie asked as they lay on her cot.

"I think there good for each other." He said seriously. She smiled into his chest then looked up at him.

"I think so too." she said still smiling. He looked down at her and smiled to.

"What are you smiling about?"

"Nothing I just like you." She answered snuggling into his chest.

"Ha you're cute."

"I know." She answered giving his chest little butterfly kisses.

Over at the wreck room Rachel was sitting with Zigzag on the couch and they were watching T.V. Well at least that's what it looked like. Rachel couldn't stop thinking about what Zigzag had said last week when Ronnie and Squid had gotten together. Was he really going to stay with her forever? Would he really wait for her to get out of here? Would she wait for him?

"What you thinking about?" He asked pulling her out of her thoughts.

"You…" she smiled.

"Oh really what about me?"

"That I think you're really cute and funny… and I really like you."

"Well that's good because I really like you too."

"How much do you like me?" She asked with a smile on her face.

"Come on and I'll show you." He got up and pulled her up by her hand and ran out of the wreck room. He brought her to a tree the only tree in the area right by the warden's cabin.

"Zig what are we doing we could get caught here." She said looking around them.

"No we won't I promise." He said she gave him a skeptical look. "Do you trust me?" he asked her seeing the doubt in her eyes.

"Of course." She said looking at him in defeat.

"Okay then come on." They snuck around the warden's cabin and into the mess hall by window.

"The mess hall? You're going to prove how much you like me in the mess hall?" she asked looking around.

"Will you hold on? We're not there yet." He said pulling her to the kitchens. Then through another door that lead them to a privet room.

"What is this place?"

"It's um… where the warden locks bad kids."

"And you want to be here why?" She asked he was up to something and she didn't know what it was. It was driving her crazy.

"Because I spent a lot of days in here until you came." She walked further into the room and it was actually quite cozy.

"Did she put you in here?" she asked sitting next to him on the bed.

"No… well once but I just kept coming back. It's where I come to think or just be alone." He said looking down at his hands. "Why were you sent here?" he asked.

"I um… I made a plot to kill Ronnie's ex boyfriend… and we almost did." She said looking away from his gaze.

"Why did you want to kill him?" she didn't answer right away. "You don't have to tell me if you don't want to." He said quickly after she didn't answer.

"He was raping Ronnie." She whispered staring at the ground.

"What?" He asked he hadn't expected that.

"Yeah… after I caught him doing it I vowed never to let another man in our lives." She stopped and took a breath. "Then we get sent to an all boys work camp." She laughed. "It's a little ironic don't ya think?" she looked up at him.

"More like fate." He answered staring back at her. He leaned over and gently brushed his lips to hers. It was the sweetest kiss she had ever tasted. He pulled back and looked at her. She put her hands into his hair and kissed him hard pulling him on top of her. He lay down on top of her still kissing. She grabbed the bottom of his shirt and pulled it over his head then just looked at him touching every part of his chest and stomach as if trying to memorize everything about it like it would one day be gone. Zigzag noticed the look in her eyes, and grabbed her chin to make her look at him.

"I'm not going anywhere." He whispered. She grabbed the back of his neck and kissed him. She was telling him everything she was afraid to speak. He kissed her back with just as much fever. And by the time they were both lying in each other arms exhausted they felt a new feeling that neither of them knew existed. She rolled over and buried her face in his chest and he lightly kissed her forehead and they fell asleep truly happy for the first time in their lives.
