Chapter 12

Tears of Sadness

The next morning:

Bradin woke early the next day unaware of what happened at Zena's house an hour after he left. He tossed and turned in bed struggling to fall back asleep. Yet there was no luck. He was wide awake and he knew it. He grabbed the T-Shirt hanging on the door knob of his closet and pulled it over his head. He walked out the door of his bedroom expecting to see Nikki and Derrick fighting over the remote control, Susana and Jay arguing over some random fact (as usual) and Aunt Ava and Johnny trying to work out their schedules to fit with the kids needs ( which they did every morning). Yet this morning that wasn't the case. All six of the familiar faces were sitting quietly in the living room neither daring to make a sound. Tears sitting on Ava's eyes and a look on his sister's face which he remembered so well. He hesitated to ask what was wrong or even if he wanted to know.

"Aunt Ava", Bradin said looking around the room, "What's wrong? Is everything okay?" He asked in a worried tone.

"Bradin," Ava said pausing between light tears, "last night after you came home from Zena's house something happened."

"What happened?" Bradin said getting frustrated.

"Bradin Zena's mom was in a car accident and-"

"But she's okay right?" Bradin said cutting his Aunt off.

"No Bradin she was killed."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bradin walked up the steps to Zena's house. He was still shocked from what had happened. Still trying to figure out how this could happen. She didn't deserve it no one deserved it. He didn't deserve. But it still happened. He wondered how she was feeling. Scared, alone, confused, just all those thoughts running through his mind and the fact that he wasn't there with her was absolutely killing him. He walked inside the house and looked at the many people around him. As he looked at their faces he didn't feel that sense of hurt or loss or any sympathy for the whole reason why they were there. Their faces were just….blank.

"How do you think she's doing?" Nikki asked Bradin

"How did you feel when mom and dad died?"

"Like the whole world ended", Nikki responded.

"Yeah, imagine that ten times worse."

"How's her situation worse than ours?"

"At least we knew our parents," Bradin said as he began to walk upstairs to Zena's room.

As he walked upsatirs he ran into Zena's older cousin Tyler who was walking out of his room.

"Hey," Tyler said as he stared at the blonde surfer in front of him. "Your Bradin right."

"Yeah"

"Im Tyler, Zena's cousin."

"Right, she told me about you." Bradin said as the two teenage boys shook hands.

"If your looking for her she's not in her room. I'm actually going out to look for her."

"You don't know where she is?"

"No actually she's scaring my mom to death. She ran out early in the morning. She said she didn't want to go to the funeral and just left. All the people are just making it harder on her."

"I'll help look for her around the beach, I mean she's got to be somewhere."
