I walk with the guys to the camp.
"Maybe he found Zero and maybe their both still alive."Magnet says.
"Yeah and maybe the easter bunny and the tooth fairy are still alive too."X-Ray says.
"Yeah,maybe my mom'll stop drinkin' and my dad'll come home."Squid says.
I wrap my arms around his waist and he wraps an arm around my shoulders.
"Man,when Caveman stole that truck..."Twitch starts.
"That was awesome."ZigZag finishes.
"Yeah,Caveman did have style."Armpit says.
We make it to camp and we all take our showers.
After mine,I go to the tent to see Squid sitting on his cot.
"What're you up to?"I ask sitting by him.
"Nothin',Girlie."He says giving me a kiss.
I laugh when he kisses my nose and forehead before meeting my lips again.
"Ahem."Someone clears their throat.
Squid and I pull away to see ZigZag.
"I came to get my stuff."He says grabbing his shower token and his towel.
"Go back to swallowing each other."He mumbles leaving.
"What's his deal?"I ask.
"He's angry that you and I are together."He says.
"Why?Does he like me?"I ask.
Squid nods.
"Well,if he likes me,he should've told me instead of trying to rape me."I say laying down on Squid's cot.
He lies next to me and he plays with my fingers.
"Hey Squid?"I ask.
"Yeah?"He answers turning his attention from the top of the tent to me.
"Do you know who your father is?"I ask.
He shakes his head.
"Does your mom ever spend time with you?"I ask him.
"Can we not talk about this?"He asks sitting up.
"Why won't you just answer the question?"I ask sitting up as well.
"'Cause I don't want to!"He yells.
I frown. This is the first time he's ever yelled at me.
I get up off his cot and go to the wreck room to see X-Ray and Armpit involved in a game of pool.
Magnet,Twitch,and ZigZag watch them.
I go to them and stand by Magnet.
"Where's Squid?"He asks.
"Do I care?"I ask.
He looks surprised at what I just said.
"What happened to the kissing couple I left in the tent?"ZigZag asks.
"I don't really know."I say shrugging.
"I'm gonna be over there."I say going to the old couch.
I decide to write my mother a letter. I find some old paper and a pen.
I sit at a table and start writing.
Dear Mom,
I like a guy(His name's Alan but we call him Squid)from my tent and we became boyfriend and girlfriend yesterday. But we just had an...argument. I'm not even sure if it was an argument. I asked him something and he yelled at me. I kinda deserved it though. I asked him something about his dad(He doesn't even know him)and I asked him something about his mom(Who drinks)and he yelled at me after he asked me to not ask him stuff like that. I didn't listen. Anyways,enough about my problems!How is Hope?Is she feeling well?How's dad and Gracie?Are they okay?How are you?I miss you all alot. Please write me when you can. I love you!
Love,
Angel
I finish my letter and write the address. I put it in the mail box and sigh.
I look at the pool table to see Squid has joined the boys. He looks at me before looking away.
I go to the tent and lie on my cot. I quickly fall asleep.
It's been five days since Squid yelled at me and we haven't spoken to each other once.
It's killing me.
I sit in the wreck room when Dr. Pendanski gives me a letter.
"Thanks."I mumble.
I open it and read the letter from mom.
Dear Angel,
Hope is doing well and the doctors think she will make a full recovery. Dad and Gracie are okay as am I. So,sounds like your in a tough spot with your boyfriend. Well this is my advice...if you feel it's your fault,then see if apologizing will help anything. If he still won't respond to you,then he's not right for you. Please write me when you can. I love you and I hope your relationship will work out.
Love,
Your Momma
I smile and look up from my letter.
I go to Magnet who sits on the couch.
"Hey Magnet!Have you seen Squid?"I ask.
"Last time I checked,he was in the tent."Magnet answers.
"Thanks."I say before I leave.
I go to the tent and see Squid lying on his cot,his back faced to me.
"Squid?"I try to get his attention.
He does nothing.
"Squid?Squid,talk to me."I say putting my hand on his shoulder.
He shrugs it away.
Well,at least he's not dead.
"Please look at me."I say.
He sighs before turning around on his cot.
"What do ya' want?"He asks.
"Just for you to listen to what I have to say. If you still hate me when I'm done,then tell me."I say.
He nods.
"I'm sorry for asking you all those questions. The answers were your business and it was your business whether to tell me or not. I'm sorry. It was my fault."I say.
"I'm done."I say getting up from the chair and starting to leave.
He grabs my hand,turns me around,and pulls me on top of him.
"Ouf."I say as I land.
"I forgive you."He says kissing me.
"Good."I say pulling away.
We kiss one more time.
Good to know we're okay.
