Chapter 2: Dancing in the street

Serena's P O V

'My child and her friends started a fight with a group of shady boys. Did I bring her up like this? Does she hate that much that she has to go start fights? Why did she have to turn out like her father? He was bad enough, but him in a girl form is the worst thing ever! I don't think I can deal with this! I won't go there again. I can't do it. But on the other hand the stress is too much and this is the only way I can relive it. No I have to stay strong for Tetra. God I hate this!' Serena thought to herself. The shiny blade of her razor taunted her, winking its sharp edge.

She had this problem since she became pregnant. The stress of being a single parent would get to her and she would put the sharp metal against the thin skin on her wrist. Few times did she hesitate or think twice about what she was doing. Just recently, as her child continued to hate her guts, had the habit become more frequent, once, maybe twice a day usually. She felt no reason to live, her daughter hated her, Stanton had left her, every relationship she had after him was a complete disaster.

'I don't need to do this. I have a job. I make money to support my kid. I have a date on Saturday. I just ordered something from a catalog that I have to wear. Tetra's birthday is in three days. I have to tell my daughter I love her before I go.' Serena finally made up her mind. She got up from the dining room chair and tossed the razor into the trash. She had things to plan.

Tetra's P O V

"So, what exactly were you guys doing on the bluffs?" Collin asked looking from one fourteen-year-old face to another. Instead of taking the kids to his house, he had taken them to a restaurant where theteen's parents would come to pick them up. The boys, (AN: the names will be reveled this chapter don't worry), looked over to the girls, who looked down at the table simultaneously, and the boys started to snicker.

"Well, I'm very disappointed in you girls. Especially you Ellie and Tetra, what have I told you a million times?" Collin asked crossing his arms across his chest.

"Never go without telling someone first. We could get hurt and no one would know where to find us." The five girls said together reciting it by heart. They felt guilty that they told no one and they really could have gotten hurt, but it was one of the greatest rushes they could get without drugs.

"So...how was it? Was it awesome?" Collin asked excitedly. The girls then went into a frenzy of, "Ohmigosh, It was so cool, I will never do that again, and It was this incredible rush of adrenaline!" The boys (AN: I know I know make with the name! Their coming up! Keep your pants on!), stared in shock as Collin, the "Responsible Adult", talked to the girls on different places to jump. A cough brought all attention to Catty, Jimena, Tianna, Serena, and Vanessa standing at the table with smiles hat was an instant moment of audience gasps (AN: That would be you).

"Collin, uh... would you go check on the baby? I don't know if your dad can hear her when she cries." Jimena asked as she rolled her head towards the door. Collin nodded like a good little boy and left the table.

"Well, since we are going to be here a little while longer lets go around and tell our names and something about ourselves." Vanessa proposed to the group. There were a few head nods and a few mumbles of kids not caring what they did. "Okay, well I'll start. My name is Vanessa and I have a G P A in medical psychology."

"My name is Tetra and I don't want to be here." Tetra said, giving a big fake smile to show exactly how much she wanted to be there. She also gave a big thumbs-up before rolling her eyes.
"I'm Fiona and I want the world to be a better place. Peace and love!"
"I'm Ellie and I think hippies are dumb! Hahaha hehehe!" Fiona looked at Ellie with puppy dog eyes and Ellie crossed her eyes at her.
"I'm Serena and my daughter is gonna get grounded if she doesn't get that look of her face." Tetra looked at her mother and gave her a big salute.
"My name is Jimena and I think this is whack."
"My name is Amara and Vanessa is my mom."
"I'm Moira and I like long walks on the beach and watching sunrises." Moira had comical whit and liked to show it off.
"I'm Catty and I have a weird child."
"Tianna and my kid is the hippie." Then it was the boy's turn.

"Jake and I don't like school." The blonde with one blue eye and one brown one said.
"Blake and I like to surf." The one with black roots said.
"Matt and your kid licked my hand." The boy with black hair said to Tianna.
"Luke and I like to skateboard."
"Sam and I like to burn stuff."

"Good! Now that we're well acquainted I say we should leave because you know how people get when you don't order anything and just sit in their fine establishment." Amara suggested and when her mother shot her a look filled with icy coldness she added, "Or not."

"Well there's our ride so we'll be off." Jake said looking out the window and getting up from the table, his friends following.

"Aww, going so soon? We were just about to make puppets and have a puppet show." Ellie called to the boys as they walked out the door. Mothers looked at daughters and vice versa. The girls knew they were in trouble and the only hopes going through their minds were about Planet Bang and them still being able to go. It was summer and Planet Bang was now an underage club.

Later that night...

"Hurry up Ellie! We're going to be late! It can't take this long to put on make-up!" Fiona yelled through the bathroom door. The girls were at Tetra's apartment and Ellie was hogging the bathroom. Ellie emerged looking like a goddess, as did the other girls (AN: Hint Hint!). They ran towards the door and Serena called for Tetra to wait a second. She sent the other girls down stairs to the car while she and her mother talked.

"Yeah?"

"Honey, there's no easy way to say this. I'm pregnant." Serena confessed expecting her daughter to question her.

"Cool. I'm gonna have a sibling! Awesome! Well, the girls are waiting. Stay safe; don't drink anything with alcohol and no smoking! Love you mom. Bye!" Tetra called as she ran out the door and down to her friends. They hopped into the Nerd Mobile and went to Planet Bang. There was a long line and they were short a bouncer so the line moved slowly. The girls were practically in the street and the beat of the music flowed into their ears. All together the girls started to dance and sing the lyrics to the song that was playing. Ironically it was Vanessa's voice blaring from the speakers. What the girls hadn't noticed was they were in the middle of the street and the song had changed so now they were all head banging and screaming the words to the new song. A pair of headlights sped towards them and stopped just before hitting the group who was standing looking scared and breathing hard.

"Ladies. We didn't expect to see you in the middle of the street, yet here we are." Blake said getting out of the black Mustang that had nearly ended the girls lives. Amara was in so much shock she fainted. The bouncer tat was working the door picked her up and brought her inside the club to the office that was hidden backstage. The boys followed and the girls splashed water on their friends face. Amara woke up and asked who was driving the car. Luke cautiously held his hand up and Amara punched him square in the jaw. The boy went down like a sack of potatoes and his friends knelled down to see if he was okay.

"Go Amara! Okay well lets go dance!" Moira said as she led her friends back to the dance floor. (AN: I don't want to go through the dancing right now. Maybe in future chapters.)

Serena's P O V

She couldn't handle it. She didn't want another kid. She couldn't afford another kid. She would need to get a second job. She didn't have time for a second job. She couldn't handle the stress. Slicing her wrist a little too deep Serena ran a bath. That would cover up the bleeding so when Tetra got home she wouldn't see the cuts. But it was bleeding really badly now. It was okay it would stop. Serena stepped into the bath and she could immediately see blood mixing in with the water. Serena was starting to get tired. She closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep. She did not awaken when she slipped beneath the water or even when she faintly heard someone calling her name. The sleep had consumed her body and mind. She could breath no longer; see no longer, and she could not tell her daughter she loved her just once more. People were calling her name but she couldn't hear for the call of death was louder and stronger.

Tetra's P O V

Her mother had killed herself and her baby. Tetra couldn't believe that her mother would do something like that. It was a week after her mother's death and everyone was at the funeral. Serena was wearing a beautiful black dress and she looked like an angel. God's fallen angle as Jimena had said. The next week went by in flashes of memory for Tetra. She was crying all the time and Ellie was there to comfort her. She went to school and no one bothered her. She even saw the boys from the beach and they made no smart remarks. She was staying with Collin and Jimena, who provided extra comfort for Tetra and they shared the loss of someone they loved. Tetra also slept a lot. She would have strange dreams where her father would come to her and say thing to her to comfort her about the loss of her mother.

The dream

A blonde man comes from the shadows to find his daughter crying and rocking back and forth. The girl looks up frightened not knowing her own father. Soon she realizes who he is and starts to tell him of what her mother had done. The man holds his daughter close and tells her everything will be okay. That her mother is in a better place now and that she wouldn't want her only daughter to be upset over her death. That the girl's mother wanted the girl to move on with her life. She would stop crying and look up at her father. There was always a cloud of black velvet darkness around her fathers' head. The darkness would swoop down and try to grab the girl. It would get so close she could feel the icy cold grip.

That's when Tetra would wake up drenched in sweat yet she would be shivering. Ellie, who shared the room with Tetra, woke up sometimes to see if Tetra was ok and if she was she would go back to sleep. Tetra was so convinced that the dream meant something. Maybe it was her father and he could contact her in some way. She needed to find her father. That was the only thing on her mind for weeks. She asked around, got telephone numbers, and checked in local clubs that her mother had said they used to hang out together in. Tetra became obsessed and her friends became worried. They worked out a night when they would follow her and see what she was doing. They were all to surprised when they saw what they did.
