Chapter Seventeen: Save Me From The Dark
Brianna had locked herself up in her room since she had heard the horrible news of Squid becoming missing in action. That had happened three weeks ago. She would only leave her room to eat, to use the bathroom, or to get a drink. She was in severe depression. Her three children were worried about Brianna. They had tried endlessly to get her to come out, but she wouldn't.
It was night and Brianna laid in her bed staring at the empty space next to her. Her eyes were moist as she ran her hand over the pillow and sheet. Sometimes, Brianna swore she heard Squid's voice in her ears and he would say, "Brianna I'm coming home soon..." She would turn around to see if Squid was standing there, but he wasn't. He was gone after all. Gone (A/N: Please shannon no spazzing. lol).
Tears fell silently down Brianna's pale face. She felt so alone without him. She glanced at the alarm clock beside her. It read eleven at night. She got out of the bed and went over to the closet. She grabbed one of Squid's button up white shirts. She found she could sleep better wearing his shirt. She put it on and got back into the bed. She turned out the light in her room and pulled the covers up to her neck.
* The Next Day *
Brianna woke up, glancing at the clock beside her. It read seven in the morning.Something had jarred her awake. She looked at her door. Someone was knocking. "What?" she snapped, angrily.
"MOMMA! THERE'S A LETTER FOR YOU!" Raja stated from outside the door. Brianna shot up in her bed, glancing at the door.
"From who?" asked Brianna.
"I can't read the thing... But it's for you Momma!" Raja said. Brianna got out of the bed, not bothering to put her pajama pants back on. She only slept in Squid's shirts and underwear. She opened the door and took the letter from Raja. She went back to her bed and opened it, letting Raja in as well. Brianna opened it as Raja sat beside her.
Brianna immedately looked to the bottom of the letter to see who it was from. She screamed, dropping the letter and cried. Richard and Mitchell came rushing into Brianna's bedroom and saw her crying. "Mom?" asked Richard. "What's wro-?"
"It's from Alan..." she whispered. Richard stared and picked up the letter. He read it. The date on it was about a week before he had become missing. Richard hugged his mother. "Damn him! Damn him!" she shouted.
"Mom it's ok..." Richard whispered. Brianna sqruimed away from her son and made her three kids get out of the room. She looked over at the cabniet as she shut the bedroom door behind her. She went to the cabniet and opened it. She pulled out a bottle that read "Liquor". She opened it, took a drink, and collasped onto the bed drinking more.
***
There was a knock at the door and Richard, being the closest to the door, got up and answered it. He almost fell over when he saw who was standing there.
It was Squid.
"A-A-Alan?!" stuttered Richard.
"Hey Rich," Squid said, smiling. Richard let him in and Squid was instantly looking around the house. "Where's Brianna?" he asked. Richard sighed.
"She's been a wreck, Dad. She locked herself in her bedroom..." Richard whispered. "She's in yer bedroom right now..." Squid smiled and went to his wife and his bedroom. He knocked on the door.
"Who is it?!" shouted Brianna. Squid sighed and opened the door. He found Brianna laying on the bed crying. She was wearing his shirt. He came up behind her and covered her eyes. Brianna jumped.
"GUess who?" Squid whispered into her ear. Brianna pulled away, turned around and saw Squid. "Hey baby," he told her, smiling. Brianna went pale and hugged Squid.
"Alan!" she cried out. He hugged her back.
"Shhh," he whispered, kissing her. She smiled and kissed him back. One kiss turned into a sudden wave of kisses. "Brianna..." said Squid, softly. Squid kissed her harder. Brianna did as well. Squid put his arms around her waist as she placed her arms around Squid's neck. Squid pulled away slightly and stared into Brianna's eyes. "Hold that thought..." he said, pulling from her embrace and walking to the door, shutting it, and then locking it. Squid then returned to Brianna and kissed her putting his arms back to where they had been.
"I love you," whispered Brianna.
"I love you too. God you don't know how deprived I was..."
Brianna pulled away. "Deprived? Of what?"
"You..."
"Me?" asked Brianna, smiling.
"Yes you..." Squid said, kissing her again. "And..."
"And what?"
"Toothpicks!"
"ALAN!" shouted Brianna, laughing. He nuzzled her in the neck.
"I'm kiddin' love," he assured her kissing her neck. "But I was deprived of you..."
"Well maybe I should fix that." Brianna giggled. Squid smirked and kissed Brianna. They kissed harder. (A/N: And shannon please don't start yelling trojan man... lol i/j everyone else.)
***
Squid was laying beside Brianna, who was asleep, he kissed her neck lightly. He grabbed his pants and shirt and put them back on. He got out of the bed and left Brianna to sleep in the bedroom. Squid went out into the living room and saw Mitchell and Raja. "Hey you two..." he whispered.
"DADDY!" squealed Raja, hugging her dad.
"DAD!" shouted Mitchell, smiling. Squid smiled seeing his two children. He had missed them terribly. "Where were ya? Huh?" asked Mitchell, excited. Squid sighed and sat down on the couch. His daughter, Raja, jumped into his lap and smiled happily at her father. Mitchell sat beside Squid and listened to his father intently, as did Raja. After Squid had explained how he was the only one of his troop to escape an enemy attack, Squid looked at his children.
"So how was everyone doing while I was gone?" he asked them.
"Momma's been drinkin' from a bottle a lot," whispered Raja. Squid stared.
"Bottle?" he asked them.
"Uh... Alan... Could I talk to ya?" asked Richard, coming in.
"What in hell are they talkin' about?" demanded Squid, angrily. He wanted to know what Brianna was drinking. "Bottle? What was she drinking?"
Richard sighed, "Mom's been drinkin' liquor lately."
"WHAT!?" shouted Squid.
"I doubt she knew it though... She was so blinded by the fact you were out there and possibly dead that she went crazy. She would't leave her room for nothing, practically. She swore she heard you sometimes from behind herself, but you really weren't there. And then there's the depressing fact Mom had gotten last week from Shaily-" Richard trailed off.
"What about Shaily?" asked Squid, nervously.
"Shaily got luekemia. The doctors are afraid she's gonna die... Mom doesn't need you yellin' at her right now ok?"
Squid took a breath to calm himself. "Alright." Squid went into his and Brianna's bedroom and walked over to the trash can. He wanted to know wether or not Brianna was drinking or not. He pulled out three bottles of liquor which were completely empty. She had been drinking. Squid sat down at the foot of the bed and watched Brianna sleep. This whole ordeal about the liquor was something that affected Squid and he was going to stop it.
No matter what.
Squid whispered the lyrics to a song he knew to the sleeping Brianna.
//When you cried, I wiped away all of your tears//
//When you screamed, I fought away all of your fears//
//I held your hand through all of these years//
//And you still have...//
//All of me//
