Twister picked up his skateboard and slammed it against the wall breaking off two wheels. He'd never been so mad in his life. How could that bitch do this to him after only a day? After she said she LOVED him? He knew now that it had all been a lie. If she really loved him, how could she be kissing his OWN BROTHER after ONE day? 'She and Otto really are related' he thought. 'Both of them only care about themselves.' Eventually the anger gave way to hurt. Tears streamed down his cheeks as he collapsed on his bed.
He just couldn't believe this was happening to him. First his best bro hated him, then his brother and his girl are making out. Why did he deserve this? It seemed like he had nothing else to live for. He wished that he had of died in that surfing accident. Things would be better that way. He let his mind linger on this thought for awhile then he got up and went over to his desk. He grabbed his bookbag and pulled out some paper and a pen. With a trembling hand he started to write.

Two hours after shutting himself up in his room, Twister came downstairs. Lars was waiting for him. "Twister, we need to talk."
"I don't NEED to talk to you Lars. I'm going out."
"Where are you going? I have something I want to say. Just listen!"
"Fuck you!"
"Twister wait!" Lars shouted, but Twister was already out the door. Lars watched through the window while he got on his bike and rode off.
Feeling like hell, Lars went to his room to take a short nap. He would just have to MAKE Twister listen to him when he got back. On the way to his own room he passed by Twister's and noticed the broken skateboard. "That little dork" He said out loud picking up the pieces. He decided that he would be nice and fix it for him after his nap. Then he noticed the paper on Twister's pillow. 'No way! I KNOW he hasn't been doing homework.' He thought. Then he remembered it was summer. 'Duh! I'm losing my mind.' Wondering what it was, he walked over and picked it up. As he read the words all of the blood drained out of his tanned face.

Lars didn't know that he could run so fast. It seemed like only a split second between the time he was standing in Twister's room and pounding on the Rocket's door. Clutching the note in his fist he screamed "LET ME IN ROCKET DORK!! REGGIE? PLEASE!!! SOMEBODY ANSWER THE DAMN DOOR!!"
After what seemed like eternity, Otto opened the door "What's your problem?" he asked.
"Twister's in trouble where's Reggie oh man get out of my way I've got to find Reggie!" Lars said hysterical.
"What's going on?" Reggie came down the stairs wondering what the pounding and shouting was about.
"Just read this!" Lars said and shoved the note at her. Otto looked over her shoulder as she read the scribbled writing.
Dear Mom, Dad, Lars, Reggie, Otto and Squid,
I'm sorry it has to be like this but I don't think I can go on much longer. I wish you had just let me die before then none of this would've happened. I'm sorry that I hurt everyone so much. I didn't mean to. All I wanted was to be happy. These last two weeks with Reggie have been the best weeks of my life. But now the pain is too much. I can't go on knowing that my best bro, my brother and the only person I've ever loved all hate me now. I think everyone would be better off without me.
Reggie, I'm sorry for the things I said. You know I didn't mean them. I'll always love you.
Otto, bro, I'm sorry that I did this to you. You'll always be my best bro and I hope you'll never forget the good times we had.
Squid, don't quit trying dude. Soon you'll be surfing like a pro! I'm glad I got to know you.
Lars, thanks for being so cool to me these past few weeks. I'm glad I finally found out what it was like to have a brother.
Mom and Dad, I'm just sorry for everything. I hope one day you'll understand.
I gotta go now. When you find me you'll be able to pick me out from the wood rangers. I'll be the one with the hat.
Love,
M. Twister Rodriguez
"OH MY GOD!" Reggie said when she finished reading. "He's going to kill himself!"
"What is he talking about? Wood rangers?" Otto asked shakily.
"I don't know man, I don't know where he's gone!" Lars said.
Then it hit Reggie. "I know! Remember a few years ago when you took us up to Mondo Mountain and left us Lars?"
"Yeah, I remember. SO? What's that got to do with this?"
"You told twister that it was haunted by those wood rangers who disappeared." She said.
Then it finally sank in. "Oh SHIT! He's gonna jump off that cliff!" Lars shouted.
"Well what are standing around for?" Otto said nervously. "We got to get to Mondo Mountain!"
AN: Wow, that was deep. I bet you didn't expect that, did you? I told you there were surprises coming up. There's more "twists" later too.
AN2: Where did everybody go? It doesn't suck that bad, does it? Well, if your still reading it, please review! To those who have—Love ya! More soon!
