Chapter Ten: Normal Life Not Likely
Brianna was at Squid's house watching TV. It had been two weeks since she had decided not to go back to New Orleans. She was living with Shaily and her parents, even though she spent most of her time at Squid's house. Brianna was attending the Youth program at the hospital, trying to get over her drug addiction. Her gun wound was almost healed completely. She still had to be careful or it would reopen.
"So what's on?" asked Squid as he threw a soda at her. She shrugged.
"Nothing," she groaned. She opened her soda and took a sip from it. He smirked and grabbed the remote.
"Well maybe if you turned the channel there would be something on," he laughed. She rolled her eyes and stood up. "Hey where are you goin'?" asked Squid. Brianna grinned.
"I'm hungrey," she replied. Squid nodded and she left to go get something to eat. About five minutes later she came back with some popcorn and kit kat bars (haha Rain). She sat back down on the couch next to Squid. She opened one of the kit kat bars and started to eat it as they watched a movie. Squid had already started to eat the popcorn.
"This is some dumb movie," whined Squid.
"You turned it on."
"Oh cute."
Brianna grinned and kissed him lightly on the cheek. She finished eating the kit kat bar as the commercials came on the TV. "I'm bored already," she whined. Squid rolled his eyes and she glared. "What I am!" she grumbled as she took a handful of popcorn and threw it at Squid.
"Oh! I see how it is!" Squid laughed throwing some popcorn at Brianna.
"Hey! Whoa!" she squelaed as they began to throw more popcorn at eachother. Finally Brianna got an idea. She tookm the entire bowl of popcorn and dumped it on Squid's head. All the popcorn fell on top of him. She also left the bowl on his head. She burst out laughing at him. "You should see how stupid you look!" she laughed.
"Oh real funny," he said. He pinned her down onto the couch. She was still laughing. "What're you laughing at?" he asked.
She pointed to the bowl on his head. "I love your new hat!" she snickered. He grinned and kissed her on the lips.
"Alan! I'm back!" said his mother from the kitchen.
"Dammit!" cursed Squid.
"I heard that Alan!" Brianna laughed. Squid glared at her and let Brianna up. "Oh is Brianna here?" his mother asked.
"Yeah mom!" Squid answered. "She is!"
"Is she staying for dinner again?"
"I dunno," Squid hollered back.
"Well ask her!" his mother shouted. Squid looked at Brianna and she nodded.
"Yea mom she is!" he told her. Brianna looked down at her watch.
"Shit," she whispered.
"What?" Squid asked her. She smiled weakly and stood up.
"I'm gonna be late for seminar!" Brianna answered. She headed to the kitchen. Squid followed her. Squid's mother smiled.
"Hello Brianna," his mother said brightly. Brianna smiled back.
"Hey, uhm I'm gonna be late. I've got my seminar tonight. So you guys can start eating without me! Ok?" Brianna said. Squid's mother nodded.
"D'you need a ride?" Squid asked.
"Thanks," Brianna said. "But Sherri's picking me up." She quickly grabbed her shoes and went back to the front door. She kissed Squid goodbye and walked outside. "Bye Alan!" she said waving. Brianna headed toward Shaily's house where a red car had pulled up in the driveway. Brianna hopped into the car and they drove off. Squid walked back to the couch and returned to watching the movie.
"Alan! What happened in here!?" shrieked his mother seeing the popcorn all over the floor. Squid slapped his forehead remembering that he had forgotten to clean it up.
"Me and Bri had a popcorn fight," he explained.
"Oh Alan! Clean it up," his mother said. He sighed and got out the vaccum and started to clean up the popcorn on the floor. After he finished he sat back down on the couch and continued to watch the movie. "Alan!" his mother called out.
"What?" he asked.
"How does Brianna like her steak again?"
"Medium-rare!"
"Thanks!" Squid rolled his eyes and watched his movie but was thinking about what Brianna was talking about at her seminar.

"Now today we have a new member joining us," said Len, the leader of the youth group. She pointed to a slender raven-haired girl, looking extremely nervous. She sat down next to Brianna. "Please welcome, Teresa."
"Hey there," Brianna said brightly.
"H-hi," Teresa stuttered.
"Hey don't be nervous. We're really nice around here," said Sherri. Brianna grinned. "We've all got problems to work out."
"What're you here for?" asked Brianna.
"Drug abuse," Teresa answered.
"Same here," chorused Sherri and Brianna.
"Ahem! Are you two girls finished yet?" asked Lena.
"Oh! Sorry!" said Brianna and Sherri giggling a little. Lena sighed and the seminar began.
***
Squid was getting ready to set the table for his mother when the phone rang. "Alan honey could you get that?" asked his mother. Squid ran to the phone.
"Hello?" he asked.
"Hey Squid it's me X-Ray!" said X-Ray's voice.
"What's up?"
"Zero's missing," X said anxiously. "We can't find him. Have you seen him?"
"No," Squid answered. Had Zero finally cracked because of Marla?
"Well come help us as soon as ya can ok?" X-Ray said as he hung up the phone. Squid did too and started to set the table. He wondered if Brianna had seen Zero. He'd ask her when she came back since she hated getting calls during her seminar.
***
"Hey you wanna go to the music store with us, Teresa?" asked Brianna as everyone exited the seminar room. Teresa looked grateful at Brianna.
"Y-yeah," Teresa stammered. She followed Sherri and Brianna out to Sherri's car. Brianna sat in the front passagner's seat and Teresa in the backseat since Sherri drove. They were halfway to the store when Brianna saw someone familar.
"Hey Sher," Brianna said. "Couldya stop the car. I gotta check something out." Sherri nodded and pulled over onto the side of the road. Brianna got out of the car and saw it was Magnet. He was saying something in Spanish. Swearing most likely. "Hey Magnet! What's goin' on?"
"Oh hey there Bri!" he said looking at her. "Zero's missing!"
"What?!"
"We think Marla being dead finally got to him. We gotta find him before he does something horrible."
"Oh my God! Well don't worry I'll ask around! Ok?" Brianna assured him. Magnet grinned and watched Brianna walk back to the car.
"What's goin' on?" Sherri asked.
"Zero's missing," Brianna answered. "Marla's death finally got him. Magnet thinks he snapped. We gotta help find him."
"But what about Squid?"
"Dammit!" sweared Brianna. Brianna pulled out her cell phone and dialed Squid's number. "Hey Alan? Yea it's me. I'm gonna be late so tell your mom to save my dinner. We're out lookin' for Zero. Ok? Oh you already know? Ok! Well hurry up and we'll be around the mall ok? Yea sure! Bye!" Brianna turned off her cell phone. "Alan's gonna meet us at the mall," Brianna said.
"Who's that?" asked Teresa who had finally spoken during the ride.
"My boyfriend. I met him at a correctional camp." Brianna said not sounding not one bit ashamed of it.
"Correctional camp?" asked Teresa.
"Yeah," Brianna muttered darkly. "Camp Green Lake. It was a boy's camp but my gang and I got sent there since we were well unable to be controlled very easily. We had to dig a hole every single day and it had to be FIVE feet deep and FIVE feet across. Damn that place was hell! To think we were goin' to hafta be there for like two years, but thankfully the camp was shut down."
"Who's Zero?" asked Teresa.
"A boy from the camp. His real name's Hector-" said Brianna but was stopped by Teresa.
"Zeroni?"
"How d'you know?" Brianna asked dumbstruck. How could this girl possibly know Zero? There was no way Teresa could know Zero. "Tell me! How d'you know Zero?!" Brianna asked again a little more frusterated. Teresa smiled weakly and her eyes fell to the ground.
"He's my little brother."
