I'm back with another chapter! I'm really happy! I got a new beanie today but then my braces broke so that kind of sucked. My parents thought I was on drugs on Friday. It was really weird cuz I was REALLY hyper and my eyes were dilated which they are naturally. I was sucking on helium and I think that is what made me really hyper. Okay I'm going to stop rambling on and on and start the story. THANK YOU REVIEWERS!

Agent DragonEye: I'm going to try to put the rest of the coupled in this chapter. And I'll try and give Zero a big part, it depends on where I go with this.

hP fAn Fo LyFe: Thank you, thank you! *takes bow*

Christina 4eva: Thanks!

ZiggyGurl: Wow! I looked at my email and it was full with your reviews! Thanks for all those reviews! I do rush my stories a little bit. It's a habit.

The whistle rang telling them to get up. Again Dani was already up. She was sitting on her bed, plugged in to her CD player and reading a book. She looked up from her book and saw everyone slowly waking up. "Morning!" she said happily. Everyone just ignored her. She took off her headphones and put her book down. Weslee came over and sat on her cot.

"You okay from last night?" she asked. Dani had woken up on the middle of the night screaming. She had one of her dreams again. No one could calm her down and soon, pretty much the whole camp was crowded around the entrance of the tent.

Dani nodded and looked down at her lap. "I'm always here if you need to talk." Weslee said as she got up.

Dani went outside and sat down in front of the tent. She was thinking about everything that was going on, how she got to Camp Green Lake, her dreams, her home life. She cringed as she thought of that. She hated her home life. She was so caught up with what was in her head, she never heard anyone coming.

"Hiya Dani!" She jumped. She looked up and saw Zigzag. "Sorry, didn't mean to startle ya." He said as he sat down next to her.

"It's okay. I was just thinking." She said.

"Bout what?"

"Things."

"What type of things?" she looked at him.

"Home." They sat there in silence for a few minutes. "What was your home life like, Zig?" she asked.

"Nothing special. It was great. Except me and my pyromaniac friends and people calling me crazy." She looked at him confused. "Acute paranoia." She mouthed 'oh' and looked at the rest of D-tent who were hanging out between the space of D and D2. He picked up a rock. "Watch this. I'm going to hit Squid on the first try." He threw the rock and hit Squid in the head. Squid turned around and gave him the magic finger. Dani laughed. Zigzag looked at her. "You have a pretty smile." He said.

"Thanks." She said. She could feel her face get hot but she knew she wasn't red.

"How was your home life?" he asked. Her smile quickly turned to a frown.

"I gotta go." She said getting up.

"Wait!" he grabbed her arm. He looked into her green eyes. They looked like they were about to cry. "I'm sorry Dani. We don't have to talk about that. I was just trying to make conversation." He looked deeper into her eyes. She also looked scared. "Why are you scared?" She yanked her arm away and ran into the tent.

He looked over to where D-tent was and sighed. "You know, she doesn't like being touched by guys." He turned around to see Weslee at the entrance of the tent. She came over and sat where Dani just was.

"Uh?"

"That's why she was scared. She doesn't like to be touched by the male part of the human species, even if it's just a tap on the shoulder."

"You talk funny, did you know that?" She smirked and gave a slight laugh through her nose.

"That's what they say at home."

"Why doesn't she like a guy's touch?" They looked at each other in the eyes. She could tell he was worried.

"You like her don't you?" she asked. Zigzag looked over at D-tent and nodded. She smiled. "I wish I could tell you, but I can't. Let's just say she didn't have the greatest childhood. I'm really worried about her though." He looked at her. "Her dreams are reoccurring more often now. It started coming more often about a week before we came here. Last night was the first time she didn't calm down right away. Of course it didn't help when Mom was trying to relax her. Being a guy and all." He nodded. They looked up when they heard X-ray run up.

"Weslee is everyone fully dressed in there?" he asked.

"Yeah."

"Thanks." He went inside. Very soon after he went in, all the girls came out except Rosie.

"That is something I hope I never see again!" said Anna. All the girls stopped outside the tent except Dani, who just kept heading over to the 'Library.' Zigzag looked at her. Her eyes were red and puffy. He could tell she had been crying.

"What do you hope to never see again?" asked Weslee.

"X-ray and Rosie making out. They're doing it right now." Anna made a face.

"Boys! Girls! Come get your shovels! It's time to dig some holes!" They heard Mr. Sir yell.

"Who's going in to get them?" asked Jillian. All the girls backed away from the tent.

"I'll go." Said Weslee. Soon she came back out with X-ray and Rosie following.

"Come on Zig." said X-ray as he lightly hit Zigzag on the back of the head. Zigzag, who had been watching Dani, looked up at X-ray who nodded toward D- tent. He got up and walked over.

"What'd you do to her man?" asked Magnet as Zigzag approached.

"Yeah. Did you see her? She was crying." Said Twitch. Zigzag shrugged a shoulder.

They got their shovels, headed out to the lake, and started digging. It felt like it was hotter then usual and they got tired fast.

"Does anyone wanna sing a song? I feel like listening to something." Said Hannah.

"I know nobody wants to hear me sing." Armpit said.

"Yeah. He sings as bad as he does smell." Squid said. Everyone laughed.

"Well, whoever has the best voice here can sing." X-ray said.

"Dani!" all the girls said in unison. Dani looked up from digging. She hadn't been paying attention to what they were saying since she was thinking about earlier that day and was pulled out of her thoughts by the sound of her name.

"What?" she said.

"Sing a song." Zero said.

"I'm really not in the mood." She said.

"Please!" everyone begged.

"Fine. But only one then you guys will have to sing your own songs." She started to sing 'Addicted' by Simple Plan while she dug. Everyone else went back to digging except Zigzag. He just listened.

After awhile the water truck pulled up. The girls where in the middle of signing 'Yeah' by Usher. They had made their own little dance to it when they were at the old camp but Jordan had to take over Dani's part since she didn't want to do it. They all got in order in line for the water truck which was X-ray, Armpit, Squid, Zigzag, Magnet, Twitch, Rosie, Dani, Anna, Hannah, Weslee, Jordan, Jillian, and Zero since he was the newest.

"There will be a tent meeting tonight." Said Pendanski who was driving the truck. "It will be in the Mess Hall right after dinner. And I expect everyone to be their. Even you Jose." Everyone snickered. Even Dani smirked.

"It was once. I ditched ONCE!" Magnet said as he handed Pendanski his canteen. Soon they were back to digging their holes and the girls were signing random songs. This time when the truck came they were signing Good Charlotte songs.

"Come get your lunches boys and girls! This isn't a girl scout's camp!" Mr. Sir barked at them.

Dani got her lunch and sat on the edge of her hole. She was looking at her sandwich, wishing that it was an apple, and if right on cue, a hand with an apple shot into her line of vision. She looked up to see whose hand it belonged to and was startled to see Zigzag sitting next to her. So startled that she feel into her hole.

"Didn't mean to scare you there." He said. He put his other hand out to help her up but she didn't take it. It didn't really surprise him.

"You keep startling me today." She said as she picked herself up.

"I noticed. You still wanna trade?" he said indicating the apple.

"Yeah." She said handing him her sandwich and taking the apple. She sat back down next to Zigzag. They sat there in silence and just ate.

"I'm sorry about earlier." He said after he finished a sandwich. Dani looked at him.

"It's not your fault. I mean, how were you supposed to know? If you haven't noticed I haven't really shared my personal life with many people." She took a bite of her apple which left her with the core. She threw it into an unoccupied hole.

"I'm gonna go finish my hole." He said as he got up and walked away. She just watched him. He dumped the rest of his food in Squid's hole, who was making out with Hannah. Squid yelling at him but Zigzag ignored him. Dani gave the rest of her lunch to Anna and Jordan to split and started digging again.

About an hour later, Dani looked up to see how far the rest of them were with their holes. She had about another foot to go. Zero, Weslee, Twitch, Zigzag, Anna, Squid, X-ray, and Magnet were done. All of them had gone back to camp except for a few. Squid was helping Hannah with her hole. X-ray was helping Rosie, Magnet was helping Jillian, and Anna was helping Jordan. All of the sudden Dani felt so alone. She started thinking about home and how alone she was there. She sat down in her four foot hole and started crying.

"You okay?" she heard Zigzag say from behind her. She turned around.

"When did you get here?" she asked.

"I just finished with my hole and started walking back to camp when I pasted your hole and heard you crying." He jumped into her hole and crouched down in front of her and looked her in the eyes. "You okay?"

"Why do you about me so much?" she asked. He smirked.

"Cause I like you. Here, I'll help you your hole." He got up and started digging. She just watched him. "It won't help if you just sit there." He said. He reached out his arm to help her up. This time she accepted it.

It took about an hour for the last group to finish and get back to camp. The last group to arrive was Anna and Jordan and they headed straight to the showers. Then they headed to the Wreck room.

Hannah, Rosie, and Jillian watched most of the guys play pool. Dani was sitting next to Zigzag watching T.V. and Weslee sat on the couch French braiding Dani's hair. Anna and Jordan went over and hang out with the girls from B-tent who they became friends with.

"This sucks being here." Said Jordan.

"Oh my god! I know!" said Emily, a B-tent girl.

"Hey! What are they watching?" asked Jessica, another B-tenter, pointing at Dani and Zigzag.

"I don't know." Said Jordan.

"Hey Dani!" called Anna. Dani turned around. Weslee had finished braiding her hair and walked over to the pool table. "What are you watching?"

"I don't know." She turned to Zigzag. "Hey Zig, what are we watching?"

"The Simpsons." He said without taking his eyes off the screen.

"The Simpsons." Said Dani and she turned back to the T.V.

"Freaks." Said Emily. Anna and Jordan looked at her.

"What?" they said.

"Freaks. Those two are freaks. They're watching a broken T.V. for heaven sake." Emily said.

"They're not freaks." Said Jordan.

"Yes they are."

"NO THEY'RE NOT!" yelled Anna. Everyone in the room looked at her and was dead silent. Jillian came over to them.

"What's going on?" she asked.

"Emily's calling Zig and Dani freaks just because they're watching a broken T.V." Zigzag went back to watching T.V. He was use to that sort of thing.

"Well once I think of it, Zigzag's more of a freak then Dani." Said Emily.

"How can you say that when you don't even know them?" Jillian snapped.

"Well you're also a freak you know that?"

"How am I a freak?" her anger was starting to rise. Zigzag went back to watching the argument.

"You hang out with those freaks from D-tent and it's totally obvious that you like that freak Magnet." Emily started examining her nails. Jillian's fists clenched.

"How many times can you say freak in one sentence?" Twitch asked.

"Freak." She said. Twitch smirked. Jillian's face was turning red with anger.

"SO WHAT IF I LIKE MAGNET?! AND EVEN IF I DIDN'T, HE'S NOT A FREAK! AND NEITHER IS THE REST OF D-TENT!" She jumped on Emily. You could hear calls from other tents that went like 'Catfight!' or some whoops here and there.

"This is awesome! They just need to be in some skimpy bikinis and mud!" some guy from C-tent yelled. Jillian got off Emily and turned around.

"You want some of this?!" She asked and shook a fist at him that was full with some of Emily's black hair that she pulled out. The boy smiled.

"Come here baby and show me what ya go!" he said. Jillian jumped at him but was caught around the waist in mid-air by Magnet. She kicked and screamed at him to put her down.

"Come on chica. We're going outside to calm you down." He said as he carried her out of the Wreck room.

Dani looked at Emily. Jillian had diffidently got the best of her. Besides a couple of bruises and scratches, a chunk of her hair had been torn out, her lip was busted open, and four long scratch marks from the temple to the of her mouth. Then the dinner bell rang.

After dinner was the tent meeting. They sat in a circle.

"How about the girls tell us about their home life and how they got here." Pendanski said. Zigzag glanced at Dani who was sitting across from him. She was glaring at Pendanski. "How about we start with you Weslee?"

"My life was fine, until I started doing drugs."

"Okay." He said. "Hannah."

"Life was great! I was the star of the basketball team, popular, good student, and my parents loved. But then I started pick pocketing. That's how I got here."

"Jordan."

"I have ADD so I was made fun of. My dad gave me a gun to take to school for protection. One day I pulled it on someone."

"Jillian."

"I beat up some kids."

"Like hell she did." Said Dani. "We went to the same school and this one kid had a black eye for a month." Jillian smirked.

"I LOVE CDs. So one day, I see a Good Charlotte CD and I wanted it. I had no money so I just took it." She flipped her red hair and smiled. "I still have it to."

"Rosie."

"Bad life. My parents always drank. I was in a gang. I always brought a switch blade with me. I got into a fight with another girl in a rival gang. She pulled out her blade so I pulled out mine and stabbed her."

"Dani." There was silence.

"I burned down a house."

"Okay. How was your home life?" She looked down at her lap.

"I don't want to talk about it."

"Oh come on. We're all family here. We're going to be together for the next few months so you might as well." Said X-ray. Rosie elbowed him in the stomach. Dani glanced at Zigzag then at Weslee who was on the left of her.

"Fine. You wanna know about my life? Here it is." She said. She started to get teary eyed. "My parents divorced when I was two. I went to live with my mom who was always drunk and would beat me. One of her friends reported child abuse and I was sent to live with my dad. The best years of my life was when I was with my dad. When I was eight, someone broke into our house and killed him. I was sent to live with my mom again. While I was gone, she had a great idea to turn her house into a whore house my mom was the Madame or head whore. When I was ten, my mom got another great idea for me to start in the business. The only friend I had was Jillian. Nobody wanted to be friends with 'The Whore.' My mom got work for me every Sunday. I was getting beaten again by either my mom or the man. I finally got tired of that life and burned down the house." She got up and walked out of the Mess Hall.

She got to around C-tent, when she heard somebody following her. She turned around and saw Zigzag. They stared at each other for awhile. Finally, Dani collapsed into his arms and cried into his chest. He kissed the top of her head, rested his head on hers, and hugged her tightly.

"Come on. Let's get you back to the tent." He said as he picked her up like a baby and carried her to D2.

About an hour later, the rest of D-tent went back to their tents. When the girls entered their tent, they found Dani asleep on her cot with Zigzag right next to her, also asleep.

"Awww, how cute! He still loves her!" Anna whispered.

"Let's just go to sleep." Said Rosie.

"What about Zigzag?" asked Jordan.

"Just leave him. I don't want to risk waking Dani up right now. Goodnight." Said Rosie as she pulled the thin blanket over and went to sleep.

How'd you like it? I know a little dramatic but one of my friends thought up most of this chapter for me. And the idea for Dani's life I got from a magazine. Read & Review!
