Thanks for all the reviews! I really appreciate it!

Bruce and Squid never stopped fighting. They got better at not getting physical, but there was always tension. Everyone could sense it, even little Quincy.

"Alan, how come you and daddy are always fighting? Aren't you happy?" Squid felt bad, he knew that it made Quincy upset when he would fight with Bruce.

"Of course I'm happy, it's just your dad and I don't get along very well, and so we fight."

"Is that why daddy and mommy fight all the time now? They just don't get along very well?" Squid didn't know what to say. It was true Bruce and Jodi had been fighting non stop ever sense Squid came to live with Bruce.

"No, I think they just disagree on some things and then they fight about it. Things will be fine though, trust me." Quincy hugged Squid and then went back to playing with her Barbies. Squid got up and walked away from her. He needed to think.

When Squid got up to his room he flopped onto his bed and called Kandy. A whole month had passed since he saw her last.

"Hello?"

"Hey baby its me."

"Hey! How are you? You sound sad what's wrong?"

"I just can't do this anymore. Things are just getting too out of hand. I have come here and now I am ruining everything. I miss you; I wish I was back home."

"I wish you were here too, but just thinking about the bad is only going to make things worse. Look on the bright side you get to see all the guy when ever you want!" This was true Squid did enjoy the time he spent with the rest of the guys with d-tent, but he couldn't help but think about how much fun it would be if Kandy was there.

"Yah, you're right. It must suck for you! You don't have anyone there." There was silence on the other end. Kandy hated to tell Squid that things were bad back home; she knew he would only worry about it.

"So when are you going to come and visit me?" Squid sighed.

"I don't know, hopefully soon. Maybe over fall break, when does your start?"

"A week! When does yours start?"

"A week! That's perfect I can come and visit you then! I bet I can get passes on Bruce's airline. Let me check the schedules." Squid got up and walked to his desk. He always had a schedule and often thought about running away and living with Kandy but he never did.

"There is one that leaves at night on the last day of my school."

"That's perfect! Look, I have to go to practice I'll talk to ya later ok?"

"Ok. I love you!"

"I love you too!" Squid got up and walked down stairs to talk to Bruce about getting passes to go and see Kandy.

"Hey Bruce can I ask you something?"

"Sure, what is it?"

"Over fall break ca I get some passes to go out and visit my mom and friends?"

"You would miss Thanksgiving you know." Squid did know this, this is why it was the perfect time for him to go and visit.

"Yah, but I think my mom would really like it if I came and had Thanksgiving with her." Bruce looked angry.

"Why wouldn't you want to spend Thanksgiving here? We are all thankful to have all the family here." Bruce put on a fake smile.

"Please Bruce, can I have some passes?" The smile faded from Bruce's face.

"I don't think that is going to workout. I'm sorry."

"But…"

"Alan, no I'm sorry." Bruce made it sound final, but Squid was not going to give up. He went back to his room. He fell asleep while thinking about what he was going to do. About two hours later the phone rang and woke Squid up. He reached over to his right stand and picked up the phone, it was Kandy.

"Hey, what's up?"

"Hey Squid! Did you talk to Bruce? Is he going to give you passes? Ryan said he would love to have you come over break." Squid thought for a second then came to a conclusion.

"Yah, everything is all set! I'll see you in a week!"

"Yaahhhh!" Kandy was so excited. They continued to talk about everything they would do when Squid came to visit.

"I can't believe you got Bruce to give you passes! I thought he would have given you shit and been all hell no!" Squid laughed.

"Well, he tried but nothing could keep me from you. I should go and help Jodi with dinner. Ill talk to you later!"

"I love you! Bye bye!" They hung up and Squid lay down on his bed. He had no itention to help Jodi with dinner, but he hated lying to Kandy.

Squid's P.O.V

I hate lying to Kandy, but Bruce just doesn't understand. If he won't let me have passes, then I will just have to buy a ticket and go without his permission. It's not like I care what he thinks anyways. This is better, because if he doesn't know I'm going, then he won't know where to find me. Let's face it I'm never coming back…
