I'm bored, only 1 person is on yahoo, and she's getting int he shower, I
have nothing to do, sooo, I will *duh duh duh daaa* UPDATE! Lucky duckys, I
have no author's note to write besides this inky-dinky 'thang, sooo, on
with the story! This chapter is all about Squid, m'mmkay? It is actually
kinda' rated PG-13 in a way, but it's only this chapter. There's no
swearing, but there's violence. Please, if you have a problem with it, tell
me, and I'll up the rating, just don't report me. Please, I'd have no way
of reposting the story, as I don't save the chapters.
I own the song, "I can Make it On My Own". And no, It was not written specifically for this chapter, even though it's very...fitting. I wrote it last year.
Chapter 11: I Can Make It On My Own
~"Do You remember that one day, when Daddy went away, cause Mommy wouln't pay? He couldn't take it no more. Well, neither could I, all I would do was cry. Just sit alone in my room, wondering why.
Well, I can make it on my own, always left home alone. No one cared about me, If only they'd open up their eyes to see__ How long I've been on my own."~
"Oh shut up you stupid brat, all you ever do is whine!" A woman sitting on an old couch with a ciggarette in her hand screamed at a baby who was sitting on the floor crying. "God, leave me alone!" She yelled, as the baby tried to crawl up onto the couch. "What do you want? We ain't got nothing to feed you with, deal with it!"
~"Do You remember all those times, when you left me alone to cry, wondering why the world was so cruel, everyday I'd come home from school, trying to avoid my own home. Wondering why.
Well, I can make it on my own, stop the crying on the phone, leave the dark and dying soul behind. Try to live this life of mine, just take it one step at a time, but when will somebody see__What it's like to be me."~
"I told you, kid, I can't take you to school, you have to walk!"
"It's 5 miles!"
"I DON'T CARE! EITHER YOU WALK TO SCHOOL, OR YOU DON'T GO!" His mother screamed at him.
"Shut up, boy!" His father yelled from the kitchen, drinking something from a bottle.
7-year old Alan glared at her, "Why can't you freakin' take me? You're not doing anything except freakin' smokin'!"
Her bloodshot eyes bulged at him, then he tried to dodge out of the way as she threw an empty beer bottle at his head, which missed his forhead only by a few inches. He ran out of the house, slamming the door behind him.
~"Do you recall those lonley days, that I spent in a confused phase, well, of course you don't, you never knew what was goin' on. You never knew what I felt, I don't think you ever cared, Wondering Why.
Well, I can make it on my own, can't stop livin' all alone, leave the lighted way behind. When will somebody see__How more obvious can it be?"~
"I'm going out for ice cream." His dad said, shoving his wife aside, causing her to knock her drink off the table.
He kicked Alan to get him away from the door, and then shoved him against the wall. He slammed the door behind him, much as Alan had done 5 years earlier.
"You better come right back!" His mother shouted out one of the broken windows.
He never did.
~" Well, I'm fed up with it now, i told you that I'd make it somehow, well, here's my chance to show everyone, what I can do, What I'll become. I'm not gonna' be like you, don't wanna' turn out just like you. Mommy my dear, won't you lend me an ear, so I can tell you exactly what I'm to do. Gonna' get rid of you, throw away all my pain, pretend that I never met you. Daddy, I say, I don't know where you are, but you better run and hide 'cause I, I gotta' lot of rage, and It's been burning up inside of my mind. I'm gonna' let it go, on the count of 3, gonna' make my life the way its to be. Gonna' smile real big, gonna' shout out loud, gonna' tell the world my story. Maybe It'll all be alright.
Well, I wake up, It's all just a dream, I'm still livin' in this nightmare. Wonder why,
Well, I can make it on my own, always left home alone. No one cared about me, If only they'd open up their eyes to see__ How long I've been on my own."~
Squid woke up in a cold sweat, tears running down his face, and Magnet and ZigZag peering down at him.
