The ride to the Brezack's house was shorter than he had expected. I took a mere 20 minutes to get there, and surprisingly, the land was green. Gosh, he couldn't remember the last time he had seen that color. And there was trees…wow.
"Well, we're here!" John Brezack announced happily. He hopped out of the car, and opened the door for Squid. Squid just blinked his eyes and slowly walked into the driveway, admiring every piece of scenery.
"So, how do you like the house?" Brenda, Jimmy, and John came to join him at his side.
"It's cool." He muttered dully. Although he liked the house and all, he still didn't like the idea of having a new family.
"Well, hopefully, you'll like the inside better. You ever have your own room!"
"Great." The Brezacks walked went into the house with him trailing behind. Once everyone got into the house, they settled in at the kitchen table.
"Well, Alan, why don't you tell us about yourself." Squid cringed as they used his real name, but recovered quickly.
"I donno…what about?" He asked weakly.
"How about your family?" Brenda offered. Squid all ready didn't like where this conversation was going.
"I, ahh…Well, how about this? My mom's an alcoholic, and my dad ran away. Happy?" He didn't mean to sound so rude, but couldn't help himself. Besides, the asked for it. Silence filled the room until Brenda quietly said,
"I'm sorry about your loses."
"Yeah, I'm sure you do." Brenda's face fell as Squid grumbled, "I'm going to my room." He quickly walked down the hall, then suddenly stopped, looking around. Sighing, he called madly,
"Where's my room?" A pause, then,
"Upstairs. Second door on the left." Squid ran up the stairs, making sure to make a loud 'boom' with each step, and went into his room. His eyebrows raised, completely surprised as he looked at the oversized room. Although there was only a bed, dresser, mirror, desk, and closet, he couldn't believe the size.
Walking into the room still in complete awe, he fell onto his bed. Wow, it was so comfy! He scooted up the mattress to snuggle into his fluffed pillow, and soft comforter. It felt so nice, almost like being on clouds, to be on something so soft and perfect. Squid felt like he could just stay on the bed forever.
He knew that he all ready didn't like the Brezacks too much. But Squid felt so spoiled because of that. They were so nice. Too nice. Definitely too nice. He remembered how he was raised by his alcoholic mother. It was aweful, and he used to feel completely useless. But that was over. Now he was in a perfect house, food on the table instead of beer, and a family. Again, not a perfect family…but he would survive.
