I DO NOT OWN HOLES!

This chapter came to me while I was on a sugar high (from pixie stix) so it's kinda dumb.

Chapter 3 Misty's Story

 When she woke up on her seventh day it was 4:00 AM. She would be getting up in half an hour anyways so she quietly got up out of bed and put on her jumpsuit and shoes.

 She walked out of the tent and sat on a wooden bench beside the tent and looked around in the darkness, her mind filling with painful memories. She ran her hand over her left shoulder. She felt the scar there and began to cry.

 "Misty?

 She jerked her head toward the tent. Squid was standing in the doorway. He walked to her and sat down next to her. She wiped her eyes. She didn't want him to see her crying.

 "What?" She asked hoping he didn't see her tears.

 "Are you crying?" Squid asked.

 Her lip trembled. She didn't want to say 'yes' but she might as well tell him what she'd kept a secret from everyone for so long.

 "Yes."

 "What's wrong?" He asked concerned.

 "My life." She replied.

 "Why don't you tell me about it."

 "Well, my dad ran out on my mom and me when I was thirteen."
 "Mine too. He said he was going to get ice cream one day, but he never came back."

 "Trust me, it's much worse than just that. When he left was when the police first caught me for breaking windows. A year later my mom remarried. I wouldn't go to the wedding. I stayed home. It was killing me so I ran away. I met up with a gang and stayed with them for a while. They called me Blade because I was known to be very suicidal; some people still call me Blade. I actually tried to kill myself once. The leader of the gang was Matt, Lure they called him. He liked me a lot. He tried to rape me on more than one occasion. They also got me hooked on drugs. Three weeks later the police caught me in an alley. The whole gang, the Skulls was their name, and I were smoking. The whole town was looking for me so they took me to my house. My mom wasn't mad, she was so happy I was alive she didn't seem to care. But my stepdad was super pissed. When my mom went to the store he… he… he let me know how he felt about the situation. I always knew he was dirt. But he was beating me. It hurt so much. He slammed me against the wall; he kicked me down the stairs. And I guess he decided that wasn't enough so he pulled out his pocket knife and made a deep cut on my shoulder." She pulled back her sleeve and showed him the long scar. "The next day my mom said she had to go to some thing for her work and she'd be gone for a week. I knew then that it would be hell for me. The next day we drove her to the airport. When we got home my stepdad locked me in the closet. He left me in there until he decided it was time to beat me again. He did that for two days. Then when he shut the door to lock it I turned the knob so it didn't lock. That night I snuck out and went to Lure's house. I stayed with him for six days before my mom found me. On the fourth day he… he… I just … he… he raped me. I was just looking for a place to stay." Misty wept into Squid's shoulder. "He… he… also did this." She sobbed pulling her suit down in the back. Squid looked and gasped. In between her shoulder blades was a scar engraved into her skin with, what appeared to be, a knife were the letters 'MJO.'

 "MJO." Squid read.

 "Matthew Joseph Oran. He said he did it because I belong to him. But I don't belong to anyone. When my mom took me home she was very upset so she went up to her room and locked the door. My stepdad took that as an advantage to beat me more. He beat me bad that time. I can still feel it. For days after that I was afraid to sleep in fear that he might kill me. A week later I went to Hotwire's house. Hotwire was another member of the gang. Her real name was Jade. We went out to an alley and spray painted a wall. The cops came and got me. In court the judge said he understood why I was the way I was, but my stepdad convinced him to send me to jail. The judge said I had the choice of Camp Greenlake or jail. I chose Camp Greenlake."

 "Wow. I… I had no idea." Squid said taken aback.

 "It's okay. No one else knows. Not even my mom."

 Squid looked at her.

 'She has beautiful eyes.' He thought.

 They stared at each other for a minute. Slowly Squid leaned toward Misty. Their lips were centimeters apart. They were about to kiss when…

 "You out here, chica?" Said Magnet sticking his head out of the tent.

 Misty jerked her head away.

 "What's wrong? I heard someone crying." He replied.

 "Nothing. I'm fine." Misty replied walking back into the tent, leaving Squid alone in the darkness of the early morning.
