Chapter Eight: Even A Sinner Gets Wings
Alan woke up the next morning with a horrible headache. "Oh God," he whispered. "What happened last night?" he asked himself. It hit him. "Brianna..." he whispered into the empty room. He climbed out of bed and changed into some fresh cloths (WAH! *drool* *gets slapped*). He walked out of the room he was in and went by another. It was Brianna's room. He knew it because there was his picture lying on her bed. He walked into the room and ran his fingers over the bed.
"Brianna..." he whispered. He turned and saw a picture of her family. They looked so happy in that picture and yet it hide a dark sercret. Alan felt numb. "I should've saved you Brianna," he said to her picture. "I'm so stupid!"
"You're not stupid," said a little voice.
"Jason what're you doin' here?" asked Alan turning around and seeing Brianna's little brother standing in the doorway. He gave Alan a weak smile and walked into the room.
"Well Reese told me to tell ya that Brianna's funeral should happen around two. Ok? So you should get ready since you slept until twelve."
"Ok sure whatever," Alan muttered now back to looking around the room. He picked up a picture that must have been taken before Brianna and her gang was taken to Camp. They were all laughing and looked extremely excitied. Brianna looked so pretty.
*Flashback *
"Hey, you're hole's been done. You can stop now." Kayla said laughing at her leader. Brianna smiled and winked sheepishly. Brianna climbed out of her just as Magnet finished his hole.
He spit in it and said, "Done."
"Oh that's disgusting." cringed Brianna. "I hate when guys spit. It's so... gross."
"It's a tradition Brianna. All of us to do it," said Squid looking at Brianna. Brianna rolled her eyes and shook her head in disgust.
"It's nasty! It's disgusting! It's gross! It's something boys do because of their stupidity!" she said angerily and glareing at him. Squid blinked and shook his head.
"Females," he muttered.
"Males," Brianna muttered.
*End of Flashback *
Had it only been about a week ago that that had happened? When he started to fall for her over the other girls that were there. He couldn't believe she was gone. Gone. What did that word really mean anyway? Alan couldn't stay in that room any longer. He walked out feeling horrible. He went into the guest room and found some cloths neatly placed out onto his bed. He looked at the clock. It was about one o'clock now and he really needed to get ready for Brianna's funeral. He quickly changed into the outfit and went down stairs and found Brianna's gang in dresses and skirt and other dressy thing. They were actually acting like girls! They glared at him before he could give them a smart mouth comment.
"Well Alan, Jason, girls-- Let's go," whispered Reese shakily. They all nodded and the girls wanted to walk to the cemetary. Alan and Jason climbed into the car and drove to site and waved to the girls as they passed them.
***
"I can't believe she's... truly... gone!" cried out Marla in tears.
"I know I know." whispered Kayla. She was fighting back her tears to look strong for everyone. She was now officially in charge of the gang since Brianna was dead.
"But she can't be dead!" Michelle yelped.
"Yea!" protested Susan. "Didn't you hear her last words?"
"YEA! She said, 'Not everhting is as it seems' or something like that," Shaily exclaimed. "She must be alive!"
"BUT WE SAW HER GET SHOT!" bellowed Marla.
"I know but still--"
"SHE'S GONE! WE'VE LOST TWO MEMBERS NOW! Jesus!" Marla cried burrying her face in her hands. The girls all nodded grimly and most were in tears too except for Kayla who was trying to look strong. They were approching the cemetary and they all got a sick feeling in their stomach. What if she wasn't actually dead?
***
Alan, Reese, and Jason were standing by Brianna's grave. Reese was weeping by the time the girls got there. Alan kept his distance and waited for his turn to look at Brianna before she was burried. Reese just weeped over Brianna and couldn't even speak she was crying so hard. The girls took their own respectful turns at telling their dead leader goodbye.
"Are you going to look at her?" asked Jason.
"Yea, but you gon on ahead," answered Alan. Jason smiled and looked at his dead sister.
"Sis," he whispered to her. "I love you so much. I always will too! Tell momma I said hi and that I love her too. Oh and tell our brother that too. And if Sarah's up there too... Tell her I love her. Please wait for me. I'll be in Heaven as soon as I can! Watch over me please..." he whispered with fresh tears running down his young face. Alan felt himself hurt more. He had been putting off looking at her. Now it was finally his turn. Jason slowly walked away and hugged his aunt tightly. Alan apprached the coffin. He looked at Brianna.
It didn't look like her.
This wasn't Brianna it couldn't be. This person looked waxy and pale, but Alan wouldn't say anything. He looked at Brianna. "I love you," he whispered. "Ya'll make God happy. I know ya'll make a great angel. It goes to show you even a sinner can get wings." he said to her corpse. But there was still something that was eating away at Alan. That corpse looked fake to him.
Fake?
But why?
It didn't look natural. It didn't feel like Brianna. It was cold. Waxy. Fake. Not Brianna. She was usaully warm, happy, real, and was beautiful. This couldn't be Brianna. It couldn't be. Was Alan going into self denial? Probably.
"Let's go Squid," said Shaily pulling him away from Brianna's coffin. He didn't want to leave her.
"That isn't Brianna!" he shouted.
"Yes it is."
"No it isn't! She's alive! I know it!"
"C'mon Squid!"
"DON'T CALL ME THAT!"
"But-!"
"Alan. My name's Alan." he muttered walking away from the coffin. "And that isn't Brianna! It looked fake! It looked like wax paper!" he growled.
"Alan please." pleaded Shaily and Kayla.
"NO! IT ISN'T BRIANNA! I REFUSE TO BELIEVE IT!!" he shouted to them. He was growing frustrated by these girls. They didn't want to believe him. And that was just fine to him. He knew Brianna wasn't truly dead. She couldn't be. She just couldn't.
"I believe you," whispered Michelle coming up behind Alan.
"Really?" he asked turning to her. She nodded. "WHy d'you think that?"
"'Cause Brianna's too tough to just friggin' roll ova and die! And I was thinkin' of what she said to ya before she died. 'Not everything is as it seems.' Or somethin' like that. She was hinting she wasn't really dieing, well unless I took it the wrong way." Michelle said looking at the ground. She shuffled her feet around and sighed. "Hey can I ask you somthin'?" she added.
"Sure what?"
"Y'know Twitch right?" asjed asked. Alan nodded not knowing where this was going. "Well I-I uhh... Well Brianna was supposed to ask ya if he was erm-well taken." Alan gapped at her.
"You like Twitch?!" he said almost falling over. Michelle blushed and nodded gently. "Oh my God," he said afterward.
"It's well, he's just plain adorable and all the girls have their boyfriends.. except me of course and Brianna wanted to hook me up wit' that Twitch kid."
"Well 'll answer question right now so I don't have to hear anymore of this," Alan said still a little shocked by Michelle. "No, he's not taken. Go ask him out when we get back to camp." She smiled brightly and hugged Alan.
"Thanks!" she said brightly. Alan blinked.
"Ok."
After Brianna was burried they all headed back to Reese's house. Everyone packed their items and were getting ready for the bus to pick them up and take them back to Camp Green Lake. Alan didn't want to go back. He really didn't. He was still hurting. Especially since he didn't believe Brianna was actually "dead" He couldn't believe it! Not ever! But if she was dead... He hoped she was in Heaven. He believed even she could get into it. It didn't matter what she had done as long as she was still a sweet girl. And she was exactly that atleast to Alan.
"SQUID!" shouted Susan shaking him slightly. "C'mon the bus is here!" He nodded and grabbed his things. They all piled onto the bus. Reese waved goodbye.
"THANKS REESE! WE'LL SEE YA IN A COUPLE YEARS!" they all shouted with their heads sticking out of the bus. THe officers in the bus pulled them back into it and handcuffed them to their seats.
The next morning Alan was awoken by the bus coming to a hault. "We're here," muttered the officers. They unhandcuffed Alan and the girls and they filed off the bus one by one. The D-Tent boys were waiting anxiously for them to return.
"MAGNET!" said Susan hugging him as she got off the bus.
"Ok! I get it! You missed me.. Stop you're going to choke me..." he choked. She smiled sheepishly as she let him go. She gently kissed his cheek and went to put her htings back into her tent.
"ZIG ZAG!" cried out Shaily She jumped into his arms and had her legs around him. He almost fell over when she kissed him. They both laughed as she got off him and they went into the D-Tent to puy her bags away.
"CAVEMAN!" shrieked Kayla as she hugged him tightly. He smiled and they also went into the D-Tent so she could put her things away. Michelle and Marla walked into the D-Tent together and Alan could hear Marla.
She shreiked, "ZERO!" Alan shook his head and wondered if Michelle got enough will to ask Twitch out.
"Where's Bri?" asked X Ray.
"Oh.." whispered Alan.
"Squid?"
"Don't call me that?"
"What?!"
"My name's Alan! People! God it's Alan! A-L-A-N! Alan!" Alan shouted in rage. He sat on the ground and rubbed his head. X Ray looked shocked and looked down at Alan. "She's dead."
"WHAT!?"
"Dead! Do I gotta spell that out too!?"
"No but seriously... She's dead?"
"Yea. Her father murderred her but not without a fight. She killed him too. To think she only trying to save her little brother." he whispered in pain of loosing her. "But I really don't think she's dead."
"But she has to be if you said she was murdered."
"Yea well her corpse looked fake. It didn't look like her at all. I'm not the only one who thinks she's still alive eitha. Michelle doesn't think so. And netha do do I!"
"Sure whateva," said X Ray getting up and going back into the D-Tent. All of a sudden Michelle came out of nowhere and hugged Alan.
"THANKS!" she cried out.
"For what!?" Alan managed to say. "LEMME GO! YOU'RE CHOKIN' ME!"
"Oh sorry," she whispered. She let him go and looked at him. "Twitch is goin' with me now!" she said happily. Alan wished he could share the same enthusiasm but he couldn't. Not without Brianna. It hurt to live without her. "I know you're still hurtin' but c'mon! You need to move on y'know. It hurts. I know, but Brianna wouldn't want you to cry over her until you die of depression."
"I know, it hurt though," he whispered. She smiled and walked off.
"Maybe she's right. Maybe I should get over Brianna." he whispered to himself. "No." he said firmly. "She isn't dead! She can't! She'll come back I know she will! Even if it takes forever she will come back." He finally cracked a smile and walked into the D-Tent where everyone seemed to be partying like mad.
When Alan walked into the tent everyone must've known what had happened. Everyone went silent. He smiled and went straight to his cot. He sat down and sighed. "It's ok guys." he said. They all gave him a look which asked, 'Are you sure?' He nodded. "Yea I'm fine." he said afterward. "I know she's waiting for me." he said quietly.
As long as he knew she loved him and as long as he still loved her, he'd always be fine. Even if she was gone. He still didn't believe she was gone actually dead. He believed she was out there somewhere looking for him. He hoped she was looking for him. He swore when he got out of the Camp he'd go look for her. He'd find her if it was the last thing he'd ever do.
