An: sorry it took longer then I wanted to update, me and my girlfriend broke up and I've been trying to adjust.
I stared at Lou like she was crazy. I couldn't believe it she was a lesbian, how lucky could I get! " That would explain why you don't take a second look at Uncle Marion. Then again he is pretty ugly even for a guy, though don't tell him I said that." Lou just keep chuckling. She keep smiling at me and I automatically smiled back. Then she seemed to snap out of it.
"I figured that may have been the case, I saw the way you looked at me from time to time." She sighed, " But we can not act on any lust that we may feel for one another, you are still a minor and I could get in a lot of trouble, and there is honestly too much at stake for me to let that happen." I could feel my eyes feel with tears and took of out of the cabin, of course money was more important when it came to me it always was, my father was a politician and he knew that most of his financial backers would support his opponents if they found out that he had a homosexual daughter, so he kicked me out to show them that he didn't approve. I was sick of it, no body wanted me.
I don't know how long I ran but I was way out of Camp Green Lake when I stopped. I was still on the lake and there was still lots of holes but no body was digging out here. I sat down on the dirt and began to cry, I was so sick of no body wanting me. Correction she wanted me out of lust, at least she didn't take advantage of me because of her not wanting to risk not being able to find that money that was somewhere on the lake. I decided to keep walking maybe as long as I was acting childish enough to run off then I could at least play it off by doing something useful by trying to find Zero. The first thing I was going to do if I found him would be to ask what his real name was. I was sick of calling him Zero it wasn't right, and I knew better then must people what it was like when everyone thought you were worth nothing.

Back at Camp Green Lake (in Lou and Marion's point of views, starting with Lou's)
I stared at her as her eyes started to fill with tears, and she ran out the door. I tried to stop her but she didn't stop I don't even think she heard me call her name. " Great Lou, look what you did now, no wonder you suck at relationships." I whispered this out loud to myself. I had always talked to myself after doing something incredible stupid. I paused thinking what I was going to do, trying to put off the inevitable of having to tell her Uncle of her running off and having to tell him the reason why, so that she wouldn't get in trouble. I got in my car to go find Alexandria's Uncle where ever he was on the Lake.
I finally found him after 20 minutes of searching I had no clue where she was now, she would be out of Camp Green Lake by now, maybe I should have just tried to follow her instead of staring in shock. I walked up to Marion, he looked extremely shocked to see me, as did the other boys. The only time I came out of my cabin was for extreme discipline problems or if someone had found something on the Lake. I motioned for Marion to come with me and used my cell to phone one of the other counselors to take over for Marion.
" What's the problem, Lou." Asked Marion, he must have realized that something was extremely wrong because I knew I had to look pale. We got in my car so that we could talk in private. I started to drive and as I drove, I started to explain. " I did something extremely stupid, your niece told me that she was a lesbian, which I of course have no problem considering that I am as well." I paused to give him a break to digest the fact that he never had a shot with me, though I think he had already had figured that out but hearing it was another thing. " Any way I told her that nothing could happen between us, because I knew she liked me, and I told her it was because I couldn't risk going to jail. I also practically told her that it was just lust and would pass for both of us after awhile anyway." I had never seen Marion so mad, and he had never been mad at me before not even when I had gave him those scars on his face, he had blamed Stanley. So I gave a deep breath and was about to continue when he interrupted "Let me guess the reason your telling me this, is because she ran off isn't it." I couldn't really reply to that so I just nodded my head yes. He sighed and we both started to look for her as we went further into the lake, hoping we would get to her before the Lizards did, how did we forget to mention the lizards, we didn't know but we did.
Marion's point of view
How she could do that to my niece I didn't know, but it was the first time I've ever been mad at her, and it wasn't even because I had found out I didn't have a chance I had already pretty much figured that part out, there is one thing that I don't mess around with and that is my family, I loved my niece and if I couldn't have Lou then I would be glad to know that someone like my niece had her instead, but no Lou had to be the little miss tough person she always acts like. We keep looking out the windows, hoping that she was okay, I'd never forgive myself if she died.

I thought I saw someone up ahead and started to head that way, as I got closer I could tell that it was Zero. I decided to call out to him,
" hey Zero!" He turned around and stopped, I was surprised I thought I would have to run after him. I caught up to him and realized that he looked really thirsty I took my canteen that I forgot that I had on that I used in the kitchens so that the other boys didn't get envious. I gave it too him and he took a long drink.
" Thanks" was all he said.
I looked at him and decided to stick to my original question,
" So what's your real name? He just stared at me and then said quietly "Hector"
I smiled, " You really need to come back to camp, I've already made sure you won't get in a lot of trouble, they won't do anything to bad, they may seem like bad people but they don't really want you guys hurt."
He just looked at me and said, " Why do you even care, I've seen the way you look at the guys you act like they are scum."
I sighed " you know that must of the guys there have committed crimes and if everyone treats them like they are the victims then they are going to think they can get away with it. And the reason I care is because I just get the vibe from you that you didn't do anything really bad, plus I can relate to people thinking you are a zero."
He just looked at me and sighed, " I was homeless, I stole a pair of shoes." I looked at him, " that is horrible, did you explain to the judge that you needed a pair, he should have put you somewhere, where you can have a family who takes care of you not put you in prison."
" That's the way it goes, sometimes judge's think it's better for us to be in here, at least we get regular meals." We sat in silence and all of the sudden we saw a car heading our way.
" If your going to try to stay away from the camp" I said as I stared at the car knowing I was in trouble "Then I would run right now"
He just stared at me and said " Nah, I'll go back and apologize to Pendanski." We waited as the car pulled up, both Lou and my Uncle got out. They both looked at Zero," I'm not going to run, Alexandria convinced me to come back and that it was stupid to run away, I think I was a bit sun stroked like the other guys said."
They just nodded at him, he seemed confused that they didn't seem to care, they were both looking at me and then he said " What did she run away too or something?"
I blushed and he started to laugh, "Opps, so I guess I'm not the only out law in these here parts"
I laughed back and stopped when I saw my Uncle's face, he started to talk " I don't care what Lou said to you, and yes she told me what she said, you didn't have the right to run off like you did. You had both of us worried sick about you, do you realize that this is a camp for Juvenile delinquents not girl scout camp, not to mention you ran out into the middle of what is pretty much a mini desert, you could have died." After the day I had, I couldn't help it I started to cry, not the soft pretty little tears either we are talking big nasty snotty tears, with everyone staring at me having no clue what to do. Finally Lou seemed to snap out of it and hugged me, while rubbing my back whispering that it was going to be okay and that she was sorry, that she hadn't meant it the way it had come out. We all got into the car and headed back, I was hoping that my uncle wouldn't give me to big of a punishment.
" Hey Alexandria?" Zero said my name in a questioning tone.
"Yeah?" I replied.
"What did you mean when you said that you knew what it was like to have people think of you as nothing more then a zero?" I looked down wishing he hadn't said that in front of Lou and my Uncle. I could tell that they were all waiting for my reply, " My father was more then willing to get rid of me, me coming out as a lesbian was just the perfect excuse. It said that it was because he didn't approve but the bloody politician was only worried about the people backing his next campaign finding out. He never really liked me anyway, He seemed to think that I didn't look enough like him. I don't think he believed my mother when she said I was his." I stared out the car window, I didn't want to say anything else about the subject, I just wanted to go back to the cabin and to my room and sleep. It was with that thought that I fall fast asleep in Lou's car. I didn't feel Uncle Marion carrying me inside all the while he was trying not to cry in front of his boss. He had no idea that his brother had treated me so badly. As he sat me on the bed, he was a bit embarrassed, but knew it had to be done, " Hey Lou can you get her into her p.j's. She really hates to sleep in her clothes." Lou just nodded her head and showed him out of the cabin. She changed me into my p.j's and after a little thought gave me a kiss on my forehead and smoothed my hair away from me face. "I'll take care of you, my little one"
