Chapter 2

Bean sat in their new room they couldn't believe what happened. Was it all real? They touched their head their fingers making contact with the rough bandage.

No.

It was real.

They now lived with Uncle Grandpa. They looked around the room it was plain, one bed a closet and a window. It was better than anything they could have hoped for. They laid down on the bed they had to get the rest of their stuff from their mother's house. Their eyes felt heavy and soon they closed and Bean fell asleep.

They awoke with a startle they didn't recognize where they were. But for the past couple of weeks they kept waking up in new rooms. They remembered they were in Uncle Grandpa's RV. They sighed and wondered how long waking up in this room would last? A week? A month? Hopefully a year. Bean wondered if Uncle Grandpa would get fed up with them like their mother had. Their mother…That's right their things they had to go get them. They looked out the window they had slept all night and it was now dawn. The sun was barely coming up. Bean got up and noticed their head was a bit sore but they ignored it. They opened the door and peaked into the hallway it was empty they gently closed the door behind them. Bean didn't want to wake anyone up they needed to wash their face at least. But they didn't even know where the bathroom was they hadn't asked Uncle Grandpa anything. He just showed Bean to their room.

"He did say to holler if I needed anything." Bean mumbled to themselves. 'But it's too early…' they thought.

"You're up early." Someone said Bean jumped they hadn't noticed anyone come up. They turned around to see it was Mr Gus.

"Oh Mr Gus…morning!" Bean said awkwardly.

"Morning," Mr Gus replied his voice was deeper.

"Could you show me to the bathroom?" Bean said rubbing the side of their arm.

"Uncle Grandpa didn't show you?" Mr Gus said lifting an eyebrow.

"No, he just led me to my-uh the room." Bean corrected themselves they didn't want to call anything theirs.

"Your room." Mr Gus said. "I may not have been completely on board with it. But Uncle Grandpa decided you will live here now. So this is your home."

Bean felt a bit relieved Mr Gus was ready to call the cops on them yesterday but it seems like they at least accepted Bean was going to be a regular fixture in the RV.

"Let me take you to the bathroom." Mr Gus lead Bean to the bathroom. "Come to the kitchen when you're ready." He said walking away.

Bean nodded and stepped into the bathroom. They looked in the mirror they looked rough Bean splashed cold water on their face. They noticed a toothbrush with a sticky note that said Bean. Bean inspected the pink tooth brush was this for them? It was new they shrugged and used it. They stepped out of the bathroom and walked down the hall the elevator doors opened and they could see Mr Gus in the kitchen making breakfast. They walked towards the booth and sat down.

'Wait what am I supposed to do now?' Bean thought they hadn't really thought about it they had just strolled into the kitchen without another thought. 'I need to get my things' Bean thought. They got up as soon as Mr Gus sat across from them he had two plates and set one in front of Bean.

"Where are you going?" He asked.

"Um I have to get my things…" Bean said.

"You have to eat something first breakfast is the most important meal of the day." Mr Gus said as he ate the eggs he made.

"Yeah I guess it is." Bean said sitting back down. "Thank you for making me breakfast."

They ate in silence at first until Bean felt like the silence was too heavy.

"I'm sorry about yesterday." Bean said quietly.

"I think you've apologized enough." Mr Gus said taking a sip of coffee.

"Oh," Bean said looking down.

"As long as you do not attempt anything that reckless again. We already have someone who does things without thinking. Well two of them actually." Mr Gus said. Bean thought of Uncle Grandpa but who else was he talking about?

"What is with this gloomy atmosphere!" Pizza Steve shouted jumping on the table. "Woah and where is my breakfast?"

"There's bread in the counter you can make yourself toast." Mr Gus said getting up taking his dish and Bean's with him to the sink.

"Harsh," Pizza Steve said he looked over at Bean.

"Well, well, well what's on the agenda for today robbing a bank?" Pizza Steve joked.

"Pizza Steve leave them alone." Mr Gus said.

"What you don't know with this one!" Pizza Steve said patting the back of Bean's back extra hard. Bean was surprised such a tiny Pizza had so much strength.

"Actually I was thinking of going to get the rest of my things from my mothers house." Bean said.

"Well have fun with that!" Pizza Steve said.

"Why don't you go and help them." Mr Gus suggested.

"Why don't you?" Pizza Steve said lowering his sunglasses to get a better look at him.

"I have to run some errands." Mr Gus said. "I know your schedule is wide open Pizza Steve."

"Okay! I'll help, I'll help." Pizza Steve said turning to Bean. "You ready?"

Pizza Steve and Bean walked out of the RV Bean noticed that the street they where on looked familiar.

"We're only a couple of streets away from my mother's house." Bean said.

"Woah what luck! I didn't feel like walking much." Pizza Steve said.

"Yeah it'll just take like 15 minutes." Bean said walking in the direction of her old home.

"So why did you try and steal the RV?" Pizza Steve asked point blank.

"I needed a place to stay."

"What's wrong with staying at your mother's?"

"She kicked me out. We don't really…get along." Bean said with difficulty.

"I understand I have a complicated relationship with my father." Pizza Steve said.

"Really?"

"Um-actually our relationship is fine!" Pizza Steve said backtracking. "Pssh I don't know why I said that."

"You know I'm glad she kicked me out it's better that we're apart. Living in that kind of environment where you just don't get along can't be good." Bean said. "Boy did we have a lot of disagreements."

"About what?"

"Well mostly about what I was doing with my life which she thought I was wasting it." Bean said. "But I'm not tied down to any specific career. I do what I want whenever. My girlfriend doesn't mind it either."

"Girlfriend?!" Pizza Steve shouted.

"Yeah I have the best girlfriend in the world. She says she'll take care of everything I need but I try not to be too dependent on her."

"Lucky you." Pizza Steve said in a low voice.

"Huh what was that?" Bean said.

"Oh I was just saying I know the feeling I had a dozen girls trying to take care of me too!" Pizza Steve lied. "But I can't be tied down to any one girl. I'm playing the field."

"We're here." Bean said stepping into the drive way of a fairly sized house. "If I remember correctly the extra key was under the matt." Bean walked up to the doorway and leaned down and lifted the matt to see no key. "Shoot she must have moved it."

"Now what?" Pizza Steve said.

"We get creative." Bean said they looked around to see if any windows where open or any rocks to smash said windows. Luckily there was a window open in the back and they snuck into the house.

"This doesn't feel right." Pizza Steve. "I think we're technically breaking and entering."

"Not if we do it quick." Bean said walking to their old room they opened their old bedroom door to see boxes. "No she didn't."

"What?"

"She's already packing my things where is she going to send them too?" Bean said. They opened the closet and pulled out two suitcases. They began stuffing anything of importance into them. Bean knew they would have to give up some things and tried not to think too much about it.

"Okay I'm done. Let's go." Bean said. They heard a car door slam just outside. "Shit. She's here."

"What's gonna happen if she sees us here?" Pizza Steve said.

"Nothing good. Let go." Bean said rushing to the window they had come in through. Pizza Steve hopped out first. Bean quickly tossed out the suitcases before putting a leg out the window. The front door opened and their mother came in. She looked straight at Bean who was halfway out the window.

"What in the hell!" Bean's mother shouted.

"Nice to see you too mom." Bean said sarcastically.

"What the hell do you think you're doing? I told you, you are not allowed in this house." Bean's mother said putting down her purse. "Do I need to call the cops and have you arrested so you get the message."

"Oh nice locking up your child."

"Bean you are no longer a child. I kicked you out so you can be responsible for yourself. You can't come back-"

"Oh I'm not coming back you don't have to worry about seeing me after today. You won't see me again." Bean said climbing out the window. Bean rushed out of the back yard with both suitcases in hand. Pizza Steve was trailing behind them not sure what to say after hearing the exchange between them. After they where a good distance away Bean stopped.

"Hey, could you not tell anyone what happened with between me and my mother." Bean said looking back at Pizza Steve.

"Sure I won't say I word." Pizza Steve assured her. "Let me help you with that suitcase." Pizza Steve said taking the handle.

"Thanks." Bean said starting to walk again soon they got to the RV. Bean wasn't sure if they should knock or just enter but Pizza Steve opened the door before they could think about it for long.

"Surprise!" Several people shouted the loudest one being Uncle Grandpa.
