Chapter 9

Crying

The group of teenagers finally made it to the lighthouse lounge.

"Deb what's wrong you've been sad the entire time!" Chunk said looking over at Deb he obviously cared deeply for her.

"I can't tell not yet."

"Deb," Pedro started talking coming up behind them. "We should tell them now."

"Tell us what?" Rob questioned. Nosy kid.

"Uh guys." Pedro started as tears started to well up in Deb's eyes.

"We, we're moving."

"WHAT?" Chunk yelled allowed bringing all attention towards him. He went over to Deb and grabbed her shoulders. "You aren't serious you can't leave me now!"

"Chunk I…"

"STOP. I don't want to hear it." Chunk turned and walked toward the beach.

"Pedro what do I do?" Deb said turning into her brother's shoulder starting to cry again.

"Listen Deb, we had to tell them at some point."

"I know."

"Why don't you go talk to him."

"Okay." Deb followed the path Chunk had taken shaking. Lynn started to follow, but Mikey held her back.

"What?"

"They need time alone."

"Mhm."

"Pedro when are you leaving?"

"Next week."

"That soon."

"Yeah."

"Why?"

"I'm not really sure they want a new change or something."

"Oh." Slightly more downhearted the friends went over to a sunny patch of grass and started sharing good memories they had had together. Sadly, Ash couldn't remember them one because she had amnesia two she wasn't really there.

A couple minutes away Brand and Skeds were driving his junkie Jeep.

"Brand please stop at the light," Skeds pleaded.

"Oh come on Skeds no one drives on these roads at all. We are fine!"

"If you say so." Skeds answered sulkily leaning back in the seat. Just as they went through the red light Troy went through his green.

"AHHHH." Skeds screamed as she saw Troy's red car coming at them from her side. HE didn't seem to be slowing down when indeed he was. There was a sound of metal on metal. Bone on metal and everything in between. Skeds hit her head against the dashboard and slumped against her door unconscious.

"Chunk?" Deb asked walking slowly up behind him.

"Why do you have to go?"

"It's not like I have a choice Chunk."

"I thought you were happy with me!"

"I was… I am!" He turned around and stared.

"How can I be sure that you aren't lying?"

"Because I'm telling you and you should trust your girlfriend."

"Ha you're moving I'm not going out with someone who lives in a different state."

"What!"

"I'm sorry I just can't." Chunk stated finally getting up and walking back the way they all had come.

"Chunk!" No answer.

Up at the sunny patch the kids were fooling around when they heard Deb's disgruntled yell.

"What just happened?" Mikey asked.

"Hehehe." Mouth laughed. "I bet that he broke her heart."

"And why is that?" Pedro said standing and raising his fists.

"Uhhh I don't know I was just kidding."

"Uh huh." Pedro said not believing him. He looked over his shoulder to see Deb walking towards them crying harder then she had before.

"What is it Deb?" Pedro said advancing on his sister.

"That ass hole son of a bitch." She said slowly.

"What did he do?"

"HE DUMPED ME!" She yelled.

"THAT LITTLE SONG OF A BITCH PIECE OF LARD DUMPED ME."

"Why?"

"BECAUSE WE ARE MOVING HE SAID HE COULDN'T GO OUT WITH SOMEONE WHO WAS GOING TO LIVE IN A DIFFERENT STATE!"

"That ass hole." Pedro stated under his breath. "I'll get him don't worry."

"Guys we better go it looks like it is going to rain."

Brand opened his eyes slowly and tried to turn his head. This didn't work his neck was killing him. So he tried to move when he got the full impact of what had happened. The car was smashed, Skeds.

"Skeds?" He whispered. Not managing anything more. "Skeds?" He strained to move and was finally able to push himself out of the crumpled door. He hit the pavement hard. Standing on shaking legs he made his way around to the other side. His vision was blurring and he could feel blood building in his mouth. He spit it out onto the dark pavement. It was dark and he could have sworn a tooth had come out also. He grabbed onto the car his side seemed fine a little crushed, but okay. It started to rain as he got around the hood and saw the wreck.

Troy's red car was smashed halfway into a tree half one the side of his jeep. Both cars would no doubt be totaled. He immediately felt dread Skeds was no the side Troy had hit. He ran as fast as he could to the door and tried to yank it open. It was stuck. He slammed his shoulder into it. It wouldn't budge.

"Move you damn thing!" he whispered to himself as it finally squeaked open.

"Skeds?" He whispered into the small crack. Skeds who had been knocked out opened her eyes to see Brand looking battered outside the door saying something.

"What?" She strained to hear. He started pointing to the door. Push? Push… Oh push the door to open it. Using all her remaining strength she slammed into the door and collapsed onto the road once it opened violently. Brand knelt down next to her.

"Skeds are you alright?"

"Yeah, my head hurts, but I'm going to be okay." He helped her get slowly to her feet and they moved on to look at the victims in Troy's car. No one knew about the wreck no one used this street.

"Troy?" Brand asked looking into the car. What he saw startled him. Andy was at an odd angle still breathing thank god. Troy was next to her slumped over the steering wheel. Nick Troy's younger brother was on the floor in front of the back seat and Stef was shivering holding onto the headrest in front of her.

"Stef?" Skeds asked. She looked up pale, but conscious.

"Do you need help?" Brand asked.

"Yeah I can't seem to get out."

"Okay just stay still we will get you out."

"All right." Brand surveyed the scene they would need to get Andy out then they could get Stef. Brand moved quickly lifting Andy out of the car moving her gently she hadn't been smooshed just moved around. Once she was lying on a patch of grass he moved on to trying to move the seat. He succeeded and Stef was able to climb out and start looking Andy over. Brand next climbed into the car and pulled Nick's arms so he sat on the seat.

"Nick?" Brand asked shaking him gently. He wasn't waking up, but he was breathing normally so he handed him out to Skeds. Who was waiting next to the car. Brand finally got next to Troy and looked at this problem. He was just stuck between the seat and steering wheel. It wasn't hard to get him out Brand just got out of the car and went around to his door opened it. From there on all he had to do was lead Troy out between the steering wheel and the seat.

"Alright guys now we wait." Brand said sitting with Skeds, Stef and the semi conscious Nick and the unconscious Andy and Troy.

"Guys what is that smell?" Mouth asked as they neared the intersection in the rain.

"It smells like burning gasoline slash metal." Data said.

"Okay…WHOA WHERE IS THAT SMOKE COMING FROM?" Mouth stared in awe as a large arch of smoke wafted toward them. Curious they ran in the direction the smoke was coming.

"Holy SHIT!" Mikey said under his breath as they came upon the wreck.

"Wait isn't that Troy's car?" Mouth asked. Mikey was staring ahead totally oblivious to what Mouth had just said for the specific reason that he had seen his brother smashed jeep.

"That's Brand's car." He choked out. He ran to it and stopped short for he had seen the older kids and Nick on the grass.

"Brand!"

"Mikey?"

"What happened?"

"Not really sure."

"Mikey what's going on?" Lynn said then spotting her sister ran over.

"Sid?"

"Lynn!" They embraced both starting to cry holding each other. The others held back not sure what to do.

"What are we going to do?" Mikey asked Brand.

"I have a cell phone." They turned to see Nick Perkins sit up holding a ridiculously large cell phone out to Brand. Brand dialed 911 and they all sat back and waited for there was nothing else to do.
