Chapter 2-Diggin up them Holes!
I couldn't believe what I saw. The only place in the whole camp that could make my stay bearable, was destroyed! The Rec Room was a mess.all the furniture was at least missing one leg, and stuffing was popping out of the couches. The T.V. was all static and the pool table was missing several pool balls. I shook my head in disbelief. These boys were animals.
When I walked in with Zigzag, Squid, Magnet, Zero and Armpit, no one really noticed. I suppose that they all knew I was in D-tent, therefore they didn't want to miss with me. I was fine by that.
I quickly glanced around the room and spotted an empty armchair slightly slanting. It was in front of the T.V. so I walked over to it and sat down. Zigzag and Squid chose to sit on either side of me and Zero sat on the floor with his back against the couch beside me. They were trying to watch T.V.
I reached into my pocket and pulled out my favorite book-A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'engle. Before we went to the Rec Room, I grabbed it and stuck it in my pocket. I loved disappearing into that world. It made me forget all about my troubles. I began reading it, but was interrupted.
"What book is that?" I looked up. Zero's face was staring at me with concerned eyes. It didn't bother me, I was glad to tell him. But when Zigzag and Squid looked over I felt a bit uncomfortable. Nevertheless, I told him about my book.
"It's called A Wrinkle in Time," I said. "It's my favorite book. I love to get lost in it. I don't have to worry about anything when I read it. Nobody's judging more and criticizing me. I'm totally in my world." I could feel the tears threatening to spill. I wish I could jump into my book. Then maybe life wouldn't be so hard.
"That's cool," Zero said. "I love to read, even though I don't really get to a lot. Truth is, I'm not good at reading. But before I was sent here, my mom used to read me books. I liked to be in their worlds."
I smiled at him. He was different then the others. He seemed to be hiding something, but I let it pass. I could feel Zigzag staring at me. I felt myself turning red as I returned to my reading.
Eventually, I stopped reading and was just staring at the pages. I was thinking about my life before the accident-before the gun was found in my locker. Life was good then.sort of.
My father died when I was thirteen. I'll never forget that day. I came home from school like normal, and there he was, hanging from the ceiling in the kitchen. He had killed himself. At first I was sad, but then I got angry. He was so foolish to kill himself, didn't he realize the pain he caused us? I don't know why he did it, and I don't want to.
A year later, my mother had re-married. I couldn't believe it. My father had just killed himself and already she was getting re-married. I was depressed. I didn't like the man she was marrying. He was nice and all, but I didn't want another father.
That's when Jake, my older brother, and I got into drugs. He's two years older than me, eighteen, so he'd get the drugs from people at his school. Mom never caught us, but I wish she did. I was destroying myself. I'm still mad at Jake for letting me screw myself up like that. He's my older brother. He's supposed to protect me. But instead, he was just killing me.
I eventually got so addicted that my grades started to slip. I began to fail everything. I remember Mom yelling at me every night, and crying when I brought my report card home. I used to be on honors. But before I knew it I was failing everything. She took away my life. No phone, no boys, no mall, no nothing. I began to hate her.
When I was fourteen, two years ago, I lost my virginity. I remember it was at a party and I was stoned. This guy I liked at the time took me up to this bedroom, and the rest I don't remember. But I do remember Jake taking me home and telling Mom that I just fainted. He lied.
A week later I found out I was pregnant. Mom went on a rampage. She kicked me out of the house and I lived with my friend for about two weeks. Jake took me to get an abortion, which I did. I'll always regret that. I wished I never killed my baby. I didn't want to, but again, Jake, the great brother that he is, insisted I do that. My life was hell. That was all it would ever be. And when I die, I'm going to hell. I knew that the night I lost my virginity. I never forgave myself.
Eventually, Mom forgave me. After that incident, we became best friends. My Mom was my savior and my angel. I began to become religious too, always going to church. It helped me. I felt pure once again.
Then I did something stupid. Giving Keri my locker combo was dumb. I should have never done that.
"Mary!" I looked up from my book. I didn't even realize it, but I was crying. Zigzag was staring in front of me, and he looked concerned. No one else noticed. "Are you OK? You were crying!"
I nodded. "I'm just tired." I stood up. As I was walking past him I gently brushed against his firm body. It sent shivers down my spine. It was like electricity. It kept me wanting more. But I regained myself and headed back to the D-tent. I was truly tired.
That night I lay in my bed. I couldn't help but think about Zigzag. I mentally kicked myself. One night in camp and I was already falling for a guy! I felt so dumb and vulnerable. But his smile, and the feeling of his body against mine, it was amazing.
I feel asleep smiling that night.
