Chapter 21 New Homes and Misty's Hearkbreak
Back at Stanley's apartment his father was trying to open the chest. He had big pair of pliers ready to cut the lock off.
"Alright. Ready?" He asked.
He took a deep breath and cut down hard. The old lock fell to the floor and he fliped the lid of the box open.
"OH MY GOD!!!" Yelled everyone in the room.
The chest was filled to the top with gold, jewels, and aged bank slips.
"There must be millions of dollars in here." Said Misty.
"More than that. These checks are worth a couple of million dollars by now." Replied Stanley.
* * * * Two months later * * * *
Stanley decided that he would split the money evenly between D-Tent.
Zigzag, Armpit, X-Ray, Magnet, Hayden, and Squid (along with Misty) all moved into their own houses on the same street as Stanley and his parents and Grandpa. Zero hired a team of Private Investigators to find his mom and they moved into a house next door to Stanley. Twitch and his parents moved in at the end of the street also. Squid's mother didn't care that he bought his own house because she was drunk at the time. The rest of the boys' parents didn't like them too much anyway so they were willing for them to leave.
Their first day in everyone went to Stanley's house and swam in his pool. Misty was happy to finally be able to wear a bikini instead of that smelly orange suit so she went and bought a new one. It was black and tied up on the sides. It seemed to attract a lot of the others attention though. That sort of bugged her. She finally was able to show off her bellyring though.
As Misty was starting to get tired she swam over to Squid and hugged him. He put one arm around her shoulders and the other under her legs and held her like a baby. She put her head against his muscular chest and closed her eyes.
She was about to fall asleep when out of nowhere Magnet cannonballed into the pool and yelled, "NO P.D.A. YOU TWO!!!"
Misty laughed and kissed Squid on the cheek. "I love you, baby." She whispered.
Squid smiled at her and whispered back, "I love you, too."
* * * *
The next morning Misty woke up in her room at Squid's house when reality finally struck her. She needed to see if her mom was okay. Questions suddenly flooded her mind.
What if Eric beat her mom?
What if her killed the baby?
What if he killed her mom?
A tear rolled from her eye. She didn't want to leave the saftey of being with Alan but her mom might be in trouble.
Reluctantly, Misty got up from her bed and went into Squid's room.
"Alan." She said. He was still asleep.
She walked over to his bed and stradled him. She leaned over to him and kissed him lightly on the lips.
"Alan." She said again.
He slowly opened him eyes and looked up at her.
"Oh it's you," he smiled fondly, stretching up and wrapping his arms around her neck. She laid down on top of him a chuckled lightly. Misty carelessly played with the little hairs growing down past his ears, sending prickles of desire down his spine.
"Who else would it be? Don't tell me other people do this to you all the time."
"Well, there was that one time when…" Squid began, his eyes twinkling mischievously, but Misty wasn't listening. Squid's lips suddenly met hers with a forceful longing, fingers frantically pulling the scrunchie out from her hair, letting it cascade wildly around her, his fingers tangled up in the softness of it, loving the feel of her against him, filling his every sense. A soft moan escaped from her, making the blood pound in his ears. Feeling his back press against the bed harder, he pulled her ever closer to him, acutely aware of her small hands slowly beginning to explore and to caress.
"Alan," she whispered breathlessly, returning the urgent kisses, the demand for more.
"Mm?"
"I need to see if my mom is okay." She said quickly.
He sat up with her in his lap, still stradling him.
"I'll go with you." He said.
"Really? You'd go to Queens with me?" She asked.
"Oh course. We can take the subway and a couple of busses."
"Thanks." She said. "For being there for me."
Misty and Squid started kissing again when a knock came from the window. Misty looked up and saw Magnet, Zero, and Stanley outside. Misty and Squid went into Squid's backyard with Magnet, Zero, and Stanley.
"What?" Asked Squid.
"We're you two about to do something dirty?" Asked Magnet jokingly.
"Cállese." Misty replied.
"Misty and I are going to be gone for a while just make sure no one robs our house while we're gone okay?" Said Squid.
"Okay, where are you going?" Asked Stanley.
"None of your buisiness." Said Misty.
"We'd better get ready." Said Squid.
"Bye, Misty. I'll miss you." Said Zero hugging her.
"I'll miss you too Zero."
* * * *
After Squid and Misty had gotten dressed and Misty had fixed her hair and done her makeup she and Squid walked down the street to the bus stop.
When they finally got to the subway Misty was tired of walking so she sat down in Squid's lap on the train.
They only had one bus left to take until they made it to Misty's house. It was 5:34 P.M. so her mom and stepdad would be eating dinner soon. The bus stopped at the end of her street and Misty and Squid got off and walked.
She and Squid snuck around to the side of her house in the bushes where the window was open. She expected to see her mom on the floor crying and her stepdad hitting her with a beer bottle or something like that. The weird thing was, they seemed happy.
Eric was sitting in a recliner watching the TV and her mom was in a rocking chair with the baby in her lap sleeping.
'She already had the baby!' Misty thought to herself.
She looked at Squid, who was nibbling on the end of his toothpick.
A tear rolled down Misty's cheek. Her mom didn't seem to realize or care she was gone.

Well, I finally updated. My computer had a really bad virius and I lost all my files and programs so I had to restore them from a disk I had saved them all to. Sorry for the inconvience (I love the word 'inconvience').
