Chapter 12 Enough

Twister's POV

I woke up with the sun shining through my window and glanced at the clock which read 12:07 P.M. I slowly got out of bed remembering last night and wondering if my parents were home or not.

I slowly walked downstairs, my mom was sitting on the couch watching TV.

"Good morning Maurice." My mom said.

"Morning…" I said sitting in a nearby chair waiting for my punishment so I could go eat my breakfast miserably.

"Your father and I talked this morning…" She said. "It was about you…" Why is she keeping me in this suspense! Do parents just love torturing you or something? "And we know your going through a lot right now…" Ohhhhh….. "So we decided you've been punished enough all ready."

I sat there then it hit me, my mouth fell open. "Huh! You can't be serious!"

My mom laughed, "Come here honey." I got up and sat by her and she put her arm around me. "We've noticed you haven't been yourself lately, and but Lars was there and we wanted to give you your space. We knew that if it was bad you and your brother would tell us."

At the name Lars I blanked out, he was still gone… "Mom…" I started.

"Yes Maurice?"

"Do you think Lars will ever come home?" I asked with no emotion staring at the ground.

My mom got kinda quiet at my question, "Of course he will, he'll probably be back within the next few days."

"Oh." Was all I said, I then got up and left.

Breakfast just wasn't the same as I sat alone knowing Lars wasn't going to come down the stairs. I only ate half my cereal, I hadn't been hungry the last few days…

I got dressed not putting much effort into it and went outside to sit on the curb and hope for a better day. A few minutes later Otto walked out with flowers, a balloon and card. He unlocked his car sitting the stuff down, then noticed me.

He walked across the street, "Hey dude, what are you doing?"

"Wishing I was dead." I replied staring at the ground.

"Oh…uh, nice." Otto replied unsure, I never acted like this but at the moment I didn't care. "I'm going to see Reggie, wanna come?" Otto asked.

"Reggie?" For a moment my face lit up, then I thought of what would happen if I told her I drove her boyfriend away for good. "Uh….."

"Come on Twist! You can't sit around like this….it's - depressing." Otto pleaded.

I looked up at him and saw something I rarely saw in his eyes, it wasn't noticeable to just anyone under his sunglasses but I noticed. I sighed, "Ok."

I was silent in the car as I stared out the window, watching the town I knew as a child and wished to be alittle kid again, scraped knees were so much easier to fix than broken feelings.

"So…." Otto said watching the road and glancing at me.

"Huh?" I asked startled but still didn't feel much emotion.

"You haven't been…You lately." Otto said.

"Lars is gone…" I sighed.

"Reggie's gonna freak if you tell her." Otto told me.

"THANKS FOR REMINDING ME!" I shouted. "It's not like I don't have enough problems already!"

Otto stayed quiet for a few minutes and I automatically felt bad.

Otto's POV

"You know…I'm here for you no matter what Twister." I said calmly.

"I know…" Twister whined slumping down in his chair.

A few minutes later we pulled into the parking garage at the hospital. Twister helped me with the stuff I'd brought, there was stuff from the whole family - except Reg of course. We were quiet the whole way up.

Reggie's room had been changed since Twister was last there, they had moved her out of ICU. When we walked in Reggie was dressed in her own clothes sitting in a chair watching TV.

"Hey guys!" Reggie said getting up and giving me a hug.

I was shocked and held her carefully, "Whoa, are you suppose to be up?"

Reggie pulled back, "The doctor said I can go home today! I just have to wait on a release form, so I though I'd surprise you." She told me. Reggie turned to Twister and he slightly grinned, "Hey Twist, haven't seen you in awhile." She said giving him a hug also. "It feels so good to be up again."

I saw Twist noticed Reggie still seemed alittle shaky. I took her arm and walked over and sat on the bed with her.

"Dad and Noelani wanted me to bring this stuff to you." I said handing her a few things.

Twister stood there looking miserable just watching us, his eyes were big yet they had dark circles under them. He looked ready to pass out.

"Oh…Here." Twister said handing Reggie what he had helped carry up. Twister stepped back and just stood there staring at the ground.

I noticed a slight frown cross Reggie's face, "Twister whats wrong?" She asked.

Twister slowly looked up, "Nothing…" He said.

"Are you feeling ok?" Reggie questioned.

Twister look at her with his big empty eyes, "Fine."

Reggie had had enough, "Twister - sit." Twister obediently sat on the bed. "What's wrong?"

Twister looked at her, "I'm sorry."

I could tell he was giving in to the Lars story and shook my head. Reggie turned around and glared at me.

"What's going on?" Reggie demanded.

A little color returned to Twister's face, "Uh, that I haven't been to see you in awhile."

Reggie still looked suspicious, then changed her expression. "It's ok." She said leaning over and hugging Twister, who seemed almost lifeless.

After awhile the nurse came in saying Reggie could be released so we picked up all her stuff and took her home. Reggie was really glad to be home, and not that I was gonna admit it to much but I was glad to have her back.

Twister stayed for awhile and helped around, but still looked lost. It was really getting to me, where could Lars be? Didn't he know what he was doing to his brother?

After everything was settled Twister said he was gonna go home and sleep. I doubted he was sleeping much at all though.
