In a huff, Sammi came running back down Sunset Valley with duct tape and eggs in her hand. She herself, was dripping in eggs and covered in toilet paper as she made her way up the porch steps and into her home. She had purposely left the door open after chasing out Mike, not thinking that anyone would break into their house and steal their stuff. Not like there was anything valuable. But hey, who knows? Yes, it had been a week since Jen and Mike broke up and Sammi wasn't that surprised when she found out. Mike had confided in her two nights prior to the break-up and she knew it wasn't going to work out. Her brother was stubborn when it came to decisions and no matter how much persuading she did, he never took her ideas into consideration. That was why she duct-taped him to a tree down the street and egged him... And then made him into a mummy with toilet paper.
Smugly, Sammi entered the house wiping away the egg from her face. The past few days for her had been a blur, and she wanted life to be as normal as possible. Sadly, she realized that this was one of the last times she would be able to beat up Mike before she moved into the cottage in Michigan with Kelsey. She knew that her pregnancy would be taking a large chunk of her life and a piece of her heart would always be in Escapade, but moving seemed like the best solution she had. The problem still ahead was conferring this to her parents. They had no idea that she was pregnant, and if they found out... She didn't know if she would be able to live in the cottage down in Michigan. Of course, in time she would tell a few select people where she was going to go... Like Jen and Mike but right now... She wanted life to be as normal as possible. She didn't want them to feel sympathetic towards her, n'or did she want them to persuade her to stay. She would probably tell them a day or two in advance before she left. Who knows? Maybe life in Michigan'll be-... Sammi was pulled out of her thoughts when the smell of smoke drifted towards her nostrils. She raised an eyebrow, wondering who it could be. Jen had stopped smoking during the period she had went out with Mike, so Sammi was still unaccustomed to her smoking in the house. When she heard the thud of the fridge, she raised an eyebrow and edged towards the kitchen to investigate. When her shoes hit the hard-wood floor, they began to make a sharp squeaking sound from the gooey egg that was still stuck to the soles of her shoes. She peeked around the corner of the kitchen and glanced around until she saw the familiar shape of her room-mate and friend. "Oh hey, Jen." She smiled at her friend sitting on the floor and went over to her. "You..." She paused to brush the egg white that was dripping down her face away before she continued. "Yeah, you okay?" She squatted down in front of Jen with a smile on her face.

As soon as Sammi came into the room Jennifer began laughing. After stoping she nodded, "Yup, now...You look so funny. What the hell did you do? I burnt Mike's picture." Her silence was gone and now she was speaking fast and with a slightness of ADD. She smiled to her friend, her depression finally gone just like that. So all I needed was a friend! Despite the egg all over Sammi, Jennifer gave her a big hug. "I'm fine now that you're here!" She smiled and stood up. "Now, ya gotta show me what you did!"
She shook her head still curious how Sammi got egg all over herself. Picking up the bowl, she through the ashes in the trash and placed it in the empty dish-washer. For a second she stared at Mike's beanie, her eyebrow rose. "I'll be right back and then you gotta show me what you did." Jennifer nodded to her friend and ran up stairs with the beanie and a big bucket of water. She went into Mike's room and sat the bucket on the floor, throwing the beanie across the room. Lifting the bucket and spiling the water on Mike's bed. Smiling, she left the bucket in there and closed the door going back down stairs.

Sammi grinned when Jen said that she was alright; she was glad that she wasn’t really depressed over the break up with Mike. "Oh, I uhh, tied up Mike to a tree and gave him an egg and toilet paper facial?" She laughed and then smiled back at Jen. It was just a little surprising the effect she had on the other girl by just being there, but then again, it was a good thing. At her words, she chuckled and stood up as well, putting the eggs and duct tape on the counter. "Sure."
Sammi watched as Jen threw away the ashes and then stared at her brother’s beanie. She arched a brow, not sure what was going through her best friend’s head. After she spoke, she nodded. "Alrightios." In the back of her mind, she wondered where that water was going.. Poor Mike, he’s going to come home to a pond.. Whenever he gets himself off that tree.. Sammi snickered and then went to the sink and washed her hands. Then splashed her face with water, wiping off the egg before it dried on her skin. Hearing a door close, she turned and watched Jen come down stairs. "What did you do?"

Jennifer grined, hearing that Sammi had tied Mike up to a tree. And after she came back down the stairs and heard the question she folded her hands behind her back and bounced on the balls of her feet. "Oh...Nothing." Her eyes went every which way and she knew that Sammi would know she was lieing so she added, "Just gave Mike the perfect water bed is all." Her hands slid into her pockets, her mind was going a 100 miles a mintue. "Oo!" She suddenly said, "When Mike's 'facial' is done, we could do his nails and make up...He'd look so cute!"

Sammi simply shook her head as Jen answered her question. She knew Mike was horrible for dumping Jen, but he really didn't deserve it. She didn't want to stress him out too much before she dropped her bomb upon him later on that week. Turning around, she went to dry her hands on the towel hanging near by. "Y'know Jen... You're going to have to forgive him sometime... I mean, you guys live in the same house. Even though you guys broke up, you guys can still be friends.." When she finished wiping her hands, she turned around and leaned against the counter. She was only saying this because she wanted them to reach a compromise where they'd be able to live in the same house without Sammi's supervision. She wanted to leave Escapade with the two at good terms. "Maybe if you guys talked it out it'd be better."
She pushed off from the counter before walking towards the fridge and opening it. "Want something to eat?" She was already searching through the freezer for the tub of Ben & Jerry's chocolate chip cookie dough she bought earlier. In less than a second, the small pint was produced and Sammi went over to the drawers to pull out a spoon. Once that was done, she flopped herself in one of the stools and began spooning ice cream into her mouth. It had only been 4 weeks since she found out she was pregnant and she was already inhaling food. Nachos, ice cream, fries and icecream, burritos, peanut butter. Surprisingly, she wasn't gaining that much weight yet. The worst part was that she was still having those rounds of nausea.

Jennifer sighed as she listened to her older friend speak. However klutzy and childish she might be and act at times Jen knew she was right and probally knew a little more than her. She shook her head, Sammi was like a sister to her, so it'd be good if Mike was her brother...Maybe. Jennifer shook her head again, only this time not to clear out her thoughts, but to Sammi's question of whether she wanted anything to eat or not. Jennifer sat across from Sammi and took out her hair. She ran a hand through it to let it go down farther, but there was still a crease in it. "You're right Sammi...It's either move out, or become..." She rose a brow losing her train of thought.
Jennifer moved a hand to her head and she rubed it, "I can think of the word I was going to use...Hmmm." She laughed a bit and shook her head for the third time. For the first time she noticed that Sammi was eating a little more food than normal and she wanted to question it, but not make Sammi feel as if she were fat, because of the fact that she didn't have a clue Sammi was pregnat. Chaning her thoughts she asked, "How long do you think it'll take Mike to get himself un-stucked from the tree?" She tilted her head, wanting to talk to him and hoping that her emotions didn't get so high that she began to yell at him. She was having problems with her thoughts and emotions lately and was wondering whether or not to go see a therpist about it.

Sammi finished the sentence for her while she spooned ice cream into her mouth, "Or become friends." She let the ice cream melt in her mouth, savoring the creamy goodness. She knew it was the pregnancy that was making the flavors in her mouth seem 10 times better then they usually were. She swallowed, letting out a sigh of relief. "Just think about it, being friends can't be that bad. Sure, he's a dick for dumping you but you know Mike... It's not like he wanted to hurt you." She took another spoonful before looking up at Jen and smiling at her for reassurance.
"Or if you want to change the word to brother. Y'know... That's not that bad either since he loves you like a sister. He'd probably protect you over me any day." She shrugged as she scraped the sides of the tub and sucking on her spoon. When the question about Mike was asked, she clinked the spoon against her teeth in thought. Knowing him, he'd get someone to help him out of his dilemma and in about... 6 minutes, he'd be home and ready to kill someone with the name that starts with S. "Prolly a few minutes. You'll know when he comes home." And she was right. While Sammi took big spoonfuls of her ice cream, the front door banged open and a wild scream was heard from the front of the house. It sounded quite barbaric for someone like Mike, but then again... He was just tied up to a tree, mummified and egged. "SAMMI JACLYN O'BRIEN!? WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU!?" Thumping could be heard as he struggled to kick off his shoes. All Sammi did was get up with her pint of ice cream and walked down the hall towards the foyer. "Hey, you can take your anger out on me later. Right now, you should be talking to a certain someone." She jabbed her thumb towards the direction of the kitchen and started making her way upstairs. When she made it to the top ot the stair case, she looked back down at Mike. "By the way, I suggest you sleep on the couch tonight." Mike looked puzzled as well as dishevelled when Sammi was out of sight. He was covered, head to toe in egg and toilet paper hung from his body. He somehow had duct tape covering his face, and some toilet paper even became like paper mache from the egg. Slowly, he shuffled towards the kitchen, dreading his encounter with Jen. For days, he had tried to stay out of her path just so he could avoid her wrath. When he finally entered the kitchen, he looked in, like a scared child. "Uh... Hi." He inched his way into the kitchen but stayed a fair distance away for Jen. He just hoped that she didn't lash out at him.

Jennifer shurged her shoulders as she stood from her chair to walk over to the fridge and get out a container filled with red, sweet strawberrys. Walking over to a counter she got out the big bag of shurger and poured some into a small bowl. Finally done with this she sat back down and opened the strawberrys to take one and look over it. "Strawberrys are good." Was all she said before sticking it in the sugar and taking it out. She placed one-fourth of it in her mouth and bit down, chewing it for a bit and then swallowing.
Her head tilted as Sammi said he'd be there in about six-mintues. Her head then snaped to where the sound was coming from. That can't be Mike...He can't yell like that., but sure enough it was Mike and he soon entered to say Hi. For a moment, Jen didn't say anything, she just finished the strawberry in her hand. Once that was done she figured she should speak, otherwise he may think that she was giving him the silent treatment...And that wouldn't be good. She picked up another strawberry and looked to him with the berry in her hand, a little of it dusted with sugar. "Hi...How are you?" Like Mike, she'd been avoiding him, but not for the same reason. She was afraid she'd be outragous and either tackle him with kisses, or kick him in his nuts. She was a little crazy like that. She turned back to her bowl of sugar, feeling the wall break a bit, the wall she'd put up when he'd broken up with her.

Mike stood awkwardly in the doorway, hands at his side. He wasn't sure what to say during her silence. Actually, he was preparing to run if she decided to lunge at him. It felt like forever before she spoke. His body was tense while he awaited her reply. Hearing her words, his tension relaxed a bit and he even forced a smile upon his face. "I'm good. How.. About you?" He leaned against the door frame, trying to look casual and not too scared. Yes, Mike was scared. Scared that Jen would suddenly lash out at him. All he wanted was to be friends with her again. If only thing were that simple...
He silently gazed at her as she ate, brushing toilet paper off his shoulder and letting it drop to the ground. There was a glob of egg whites slowly dripping down his face and towards his eyes, but he didn't notice this since he was staring intently at Jen's face. The ooze slowly dripped towards his eyes. Three. Two. One. "OWW! EWWW!" Mike began to pull the ooze away from his eye, but the clear stuff already seeped into his eye and... It didn't feel that great.

After hearing his reply, she looked up at him and tilted her head. With a simple shurg of her shoulders she replied with, "I feel like my worlds falling apart," She paused for a moment to bursh a lock of dark hair that had fallen from her pony-tail into her eyes away from her face and then continued, "But it's all good." She shurged her shoulders once more and took a bite. Anyone listening to her or looking at her, would've noticed the note of sadness in her voice.
Having your ex-boyfriend stare at you can be kind of creepy and can cause many different thoughts to come to mind; here's what Jen was thinking: Why is he staring at me? Does he want me back? Naw, that wouldn't be possible, would it? And so on and so forth. She stared at him, her face moving with the thoughts as they slowly came to her. Jennifer couldn't help but laugh when the egg white had fallen in his face. She just stood up and placed the berries back in the fridge and the bowl of sugar in the sink. Turning around, she placed her hands behind her on the counter. "You know, that wouldn't have happened if you wouldn't have been too busy trying to figure out what was going on in my head." For some reason, she knew that was why he was staring, maybe it was because she'd done it so offten to people she didn't even know. She grabed the spray thing from the sink and pulled it out, turning on the cold water, "Here, let me help you." She said with a smirk. Her hands moved from behind her back, revealing what she had. She pressed the button and sprayed Mike with the cool water, not as a prank...Well, maybe, but it didn't hurt, and she was laughing. {{I can't think of what its called! -bashes head in- that didn't help}}

At her comment, Mike frowned. He sort of expected an answer like that. He just didn't expect her to be so sad. They had only been dating for a week, yet she was so unhappy. In a way, he missed the happy Jen that would make him laugh because of her foolishness. He stayed silent for a few moments before he replied to her comment. "Y'know that I'm sorry and I never wanted us to drift so far apart. I just want us to be friends like before." He stuffed his hands into his pockets, looking quite solemn though he had eggs and toilet paper dripping off of him. He was just afraid of what her reaction might be. He knew that she was still hurting and she might lash out at him.
As he felt the goop cover his vision, he blinked furiously. It didn't seem to work since it just... Spread the clear membrane over his eye. At Jen's laughter he flushed red. He couldn't exactly see her face since the clear goo was like an extra eyelid. Hearing her words, he raised an eyebrow. He wasn't trying to figure out what was going in her mind. Couldn't a guy just look at his ex-girlfriend without questioning? Actually, he was wondering how Jen would react when she found out that he already moved on to another girl. He kept this thought to himself, knowing that she might get pissed off if she heard about Sheena. Her next words were a bit of a blur in his ears, but when the cold water his his face he yelped and furiously rubbed his eye. He grappled out in front of him, unable to see and sputtered out water from his mouth. "What the hell!?" Foiled two times in one day.

Jennifer shuffled her feet for a bit, hearing what he said after she'd responded to his question. "I know..." She said, taking down her pony-tail and rubing the back of her head, trying to get the little crease out of the back, "But its diffcult to do such a thing...Most people know that Mike...It'll take some time, even though we weren't dating that long...I don't know why it effected me so greatly; it just did." She knew why, it was for the soul fact that she'd had a crush on him for so long that it was hard to go back to the way they were when it was just a girl's crush and just be friends, after the let down.
Maybe she could try it, being a sister wasn't that hard, but it'd be bad if he ever brought a girl home...It'd be devastating. By this point in time she was laughing as hard as she could, he wouldn't attack her...Or, would he? She didn't care, she just sprayed him more. Turning off the water she bowed, "Glad to be of service." She then walked over a bit and pulled herself up onto the counter. Reaching behind her she pulled out a glass and filled it with water, "You should probaly clean that up, and then take a shower." She shook her head and took a drink.

Mike nodded in response to her comment. To be truthful, he was getting a bit annoyed by her attitude towards him. Maybe the mix of being tee-pee'd and egged affected how he felt at the moment. He couldn't blame her for being hurt, but he just wanted things to be normal again. Normal... Yeah right. He knew that she wouldn't let go that easily and he sighed as he brushed off some more toilet paper hanging off the front of his shirt.
He felt sort of bad as for telling her that she was like a sister to him, but of course... This was Mike and he was truthful about... 110% of the time. Well, at least when it came to his girlfriends he was. He just wondered how she would react when he DID bring home Sheena. He supposed that they were officially dating now but bringing her home was a big step. Why would he need to anyway? It's not like Sammi was home to meet her. Who cares? When she stopped spraying him with water, he sputtered the remaining water in his mouth and glared at Jen. She was lucky that he never hit a girl, or else he didn't know what he would do. He wasn't in a good mood in the first place, and her asking him to clean up the mess SHE helped make just made the frown on his face turn angrier. He stalked out of the kitchen, not bothering to clean up the mess and went straight to the bathroom. Oh... Just wait until he goes to his bed...

Sighing Jen pushed herself off of the counter and cleaned up the mess. It took awhile, but when it was done she ended up having to take the kitchen trash out. Soon she was walking back in the house, one hand taking her hair out soon joined by the second. She made her way to the bathroom and placed her hand on the door. "Sorry Mike..." She said, hoping he'd heard it. She then walked to her room, changed and jumped on the edge of her bed, her acustic gutair in hand.

-----------TIME SKIP!-------------
{{Heh, drama time...Again.}} There Jen sat, after calling Mike's cell from the land line. She'd just been in for a check-up with her 'doctor' (I can't spell the real term...Leave me alone, it's one in the fuckin' morning! ^_^* And she's not pregnat, just too let you know...Hehehehhehe!) and her 'doctor' had told her some very bad news indeed. She'd come home and looked all over the house for her ex, even though this news was something you may not want to tell you ex, but he was the only one she had right now...She hadn't really seen Kelso much, but she'd find her sooner or later and catch up. Jennifer had left a very hurried message on Mike's voice mail, telling him he better get his ass home or she'd track him down and that wouldn't be very pretty....Not in the least. The reason Mike was the only one she had that was close to family was the fact that her father was in a coma and her step-mother had become a drunk...Social services were looking in on that, due to a call by none other than Jen herself. A sigh came from her lips as she got out a bottle of beer with a twist off cap and sat down, the bottle now open and a lit cigerette in her hand. At the moment all she could do was wait, drink her beer, and smoke, that was all...As tears weld up in her eyes.

Mike had been at the camp life-gaurding at the pond when Hayden had come running up to him with his cell phone in hand. He had gotten the urgent message from Jen and raised an eyebrow. She had to know that he was at work. Which was about 2 hours away. Nontheless, he heard the urgency in her voice so he had left the camp as quickly as possible. Leaving his girlfriend and Hayden alone. Not like it was a problem anymore, but still. He was a jealous fool sometimes.
Taking at least two and a half hours to get home, he finally made it to their driveway. At first he thought that the house got robbed or something. But when he arrived, the house was clearly fine. So trotting up the steps, he burst into the house with a crease of concern written all over his face. Peeking into the front rooms, he couldn't find Jen and he walked towards the kitchen. "Jen? You home? I got your message. What's wrong?" He finally entered the kitchen when he spotted Jen drinking and smoking. His face twisted in slight disgust at the cigarette but he didn't say anything about it. They were finally on good terms and he didn't want to ruin it. "What's up?" He noted her watery eyes and he went over and sat down beside her.

Hearing the door open her eyes flickered from the bottle to where he should come in. Stupid Mike, can't you smell the smoke? Jennifer thought to herself while he was searching around for her. When he sat down she looked sort of guilty as she blinked back the tears, "Sorry for taking you away from camp..." Was what came from her mouth first and she shook her head, taking a drag and blowing it up towards the ceiling so it didn't go into Mike's face.
She took a long drink of her beer and sat it back down on the table, putting her cigerette out. "A while ago, I went to powers and was really stupid, flirting and what not. Finally I got drunk..." She heaved a sigh, not really wanting to tell him the whole story, but know she had to in order to get the message across. "Anyway, I'm a complet retard when I'm drunk and had some un-protected..." She paused for a moment, this really wasn't something you should tell your ex. Rubing her head a bit she looked down at her feet and whispered, "Sex." It was almost as if she didn't want to let him hear what she'd done. "Anyway," Jen continued, looking back up to him, the tears coming back, "I just had a doctors visit and it came to their attention that I am now..." She paused trying to blink back the tears that were falling from her eyes, it was all overwhelming. She couldn't continue. Oh, great, now he probally thinks I'm pregnat, continue bitch! She thought to herself, "HIV...Positive..." She shook her head and baried her face in her hands.

Mike smiled reassuringly to her that it wasn't a problem to get out of camp. Besides, the little kids were beginning to annoy him. He needed a break. He didn't say anything about her tears or the smoke from her cigarette. She looked like she had enough on her plate, and he didn't feel like nagging. Yet. So at her comment, he simply shrugged with a smile. "Doesn't really matter. Try working with kids 24/7... It's a pain in the ass." He shut up after that comment as he listened to her explain her situation. At first, he did believe that she was pregnant; with where her story was going and all. The point where she said 'unprotected sex' made him raise a brow. He never really thought that Jen would do... Stuff like that. But then again, he had sex with Sheena when they met. Which was only a matter of 15-20 minutes.
So allowing her to continue her story without feeling self-concious, he lowered his brow and kept his mouth shut. When she finally finished, Mike's eyebrows were raised and his mouth was wide open in shock. Being pregnant might have been an easier situation to handle, but having her explain that she had HIV.... Was, well... Unbelievable. He knew that he had to say something. Anything to comfort her. He hesitantly placed a hand on her back and began to rub it to try and soothe the pain while she cried. After a moment, he finally spoke with a small smile on his face. He hadn't broken the news to her yet about his tumor, and he guessed that now would be the time. "Well... We both seem to be in the same boat. I found out two days ago that I have a brain tumor. So, I have a tumor, you have HIV and I guess Sammi's going to be back soon... I declare this house... The house of disasters." He tried to lighten the moment with his little comment, but he really doubted that it would work. He did just drop another bomb upon her. "Don't worry Jen... I know we haven't exactly been... On friendly terms... But I'm here for you." He grabbed a few Kleenexes and handed them to her. "And so will Sammi. I called her yesterday... She'll be back in two days." He hoped the news would comfort her, but he knew that it was just a horrible day for both of them. Err.. Or week. Especially with his parents coming for a visit.

With Mike's hand on her back she felt conforted. Afterall it was a nice, warm, brotherly hand, what else could feel better when you were down? When Mike started trying to be funny and told her about his brian tumor she sat up and looked at him. "We're both gonna die." She said, shaking her head. Her hands began to open up her pack of cigerettes but she got pissed and tossed them over to the trash can and they made it.

As she sat up, he removed his hand from her back seeing that his arm wasn't long enough to continue rubbing it. And to be honest, the idea of her having HIV scared him a bit. Wouldn't that be everyone's first reaction? He knew that it wasn't contagious unless they had some sort of sexual contact but that would never happen. That or if they had contact between open wounds. Which of course, was another nearly impossible thing. He never really understood what really happened to people who were HIV positive, besides the fact that it would turn into AIDs. But the effects of it? He had no idea, whatsoever.
At her comment, his jaw tightened and his forehead creased in slight anger. Her comment just stirred up emotions that he kept inside for the past two days and he stood up in silence and walked over to the window. Stuffing his hands into his pockets he rested his forehead against the cool glass. He finally spoke in a tone that he had never used before. Cold? Agitated? Distressed? "We're not necessarily going to die..." He clenched his jaw, holding back the anger he wanted to release upon her. He knew there was a possibility that he could die. Its not like he needed her to tell him that. "Thanks for pointing out the obvious though." He turned to her with fury and tears in his eyes. "Y'know what? There's a chance that we can both live. I know it's hard for you, realizing that you have HIV. I know it was hard for me to absorb the fact that I have a brain tumor. But you have to live life to the fullest instead of focusing on death. If all you focus on is death, you'll never get anything out of it. All you get is everyone around you riled up and sympathetic." He ran his fingers through his hair and looked down at his feet, trying to control the anger within. "And if you're just going to mope around with cigarettes and beer, you minus well just crawl into a hole like a troll or a hobo until the grim reaper comes and gets you. It's a god damn stupid way to end the last bits of your life." With that, he took the beer bottle in front of her and began to empty it out in the sink. Maybe it was her comment that got to him. For the past 48 hours, his main priority was to avoid the outlook on death. And yet she was able to talk about them dying so easily... With such a straight face... He was the type of person who held on to the thinnest strand of hope. So when Jen spoke about their death so easily, anger stirred within. Heh, call him an optimist. His outlook on things were usually hopeful.

With Mike yelling at her, this made her get upset and she stood up knocking her chair over. "Fine, I'll go live in a hole!" She shouted, running upstairs to her room and slamed the door. As soon as she sat down on the bed, what she'd just done seemed childish to her, but fuck if she was going to go back down there and take it back. She pulled out Sammi's old guitar and looked at it, wishing she were back.

When Mike had told her that he was leaving for an emergency and left her with Hayden Sheena decided to see exactly what it was. Especially since he wouldn’t tell her what it was when she asked him before he left. Sure she could of went to the main counsellors office and asked why Mike left, ‘cause he would have to tell them if he wanted to leave without getting fired. And actually she did do that but they just said it was a "family emergency". She hated when people said that and really it didn’t help her at all so she made up this big lie about how Mike’s sister was her second cousin and that meant she was family too and she had to leave and find out what was going on. She was convincing but the story sounded so outlandish coming from a chick with purple hair that the counsellor dude just looked at her strange. But in the end he gave her "however long she needed to recuperate" or something like that. Sheena had a feeling it was because she wasn’t really an asset to the camp. She was just kinda there. And fucking around with Hayden and Mike.
So before Mike left she snuck out to his car and crawled into the trunk and locked herself in. It wasn’t until after she locked her self in that she realized she didn’t know if there was air flow to the trunk and she didn’t know how to get out of it. So basically she was kind of screwed. Luckily for her though when Mike actually started the car and started driving a little air moved through the cracks of the trunk lid and through the trunk which made her relax about that little dilemma. She still didn’t know how the hell she was going to get herself out of the trunk though. In the end she just decided that she would wait until she got to wherever Mike was going and then she would figure a way out. She would of done it then but she didn’t want to find a way out and then accidentally open it and fall out of the trunk in front of Mike, or onto the road. Ouch. Since it was a two hour drive back into Escapade Sheena fell asleep about half way there. When she woke up the car was stopped and silent and there wasn’t as much air in the trunk as there had been when they were moving. Taking that as a sign that Mike had reached his final destination and uncurled herself a little all the while wishing she was shorter. Blinking a lot to get used to the light she slid her hands around the trunk looking for a lever or button or something that would let her out. After fruitless searching her fingers bumped into a nylon loop handle. After being in the trunk so long she wasn’t sure which way was up and which way was down so she didn’t know where exactly the handle was. Deciding just to take her chances she pulled on it and quickly the ‘wall’ she had been leaning against fell over and she rolled out of the trunk and into the cab of the car. "Oww, flippin seat" She wrinkled her nose and rubbed her shoulder where it had hit the front seat of the car when she fell out of it. With another little roll she was able to get into a position so that she could close the trunk and then get out of the car. She closed the door quietly behind her and then headed for the front door of the house. She wasn’t too sure what she would find when she got there but she was bracing herself for anything. Walking through the hallway quietly she stopped when she heard foot steps and she skittered into the living room and behind the couch before anyone could see her. After a couple seconds she watched Mike walk into the kitchen and then start talking to someone. Try as she might she couldn’t hear what was being said so silently and stealthily she crawled forwards and then sat against the wall outside the kitchen. She could hear what was being said perfectly now and they couldn’t see her, unless of course someone walked out of kitchen and looked towards the door. The first thing she heard was Mike’s comment about working with kids 24/7 and she almost snickered but then kept quiet not wanting to give her hiding spot away. As she listened to her boyfriend and his ex, not that she knew that, talk her eyes got wider and she had to bite the side of her hand to keep from making noise. Mike has a brain tumour?! Oh my god…he’s gonna die. My boyfriend’s gonna die… Her head was spinning as she tried to grasp that fact but then it got distracted by something she had never heard and never thought could happen. Mike talking in…well she didn’t know exactly what to call his tone but it wasn’t good and she never imagined Mike being an angry or heartless person. Hearing Jen’s chair being knocked over and then her yelling Sheena winced and decided it might be a good time to make herself known. That and she could hear how angry Mike had been so she didn’t want him to follow Jen and then just make things worse between them. So standing up she walked past the kitchen pausing for a moment to stare at Mike with a mix of sadness and a feeling of not being trusted in her eyes. She was almost positive that Mike had known about his brain tumour for a bit, maybe not a long bit but still a bit. And yet he had never told her. It made her wonder if he was ever going to tell her or if she would of not found out until he went in for kemo or whatever and she asked where he was. She sighed a bit and then followed the path Jen took to her room. Stopping in front of Jen’s door she lifted her hand and knocked on it lightly. "Jen, it’s me..." Realizing that Jen didn’t know who ‘me’ was she quickly added on. "Sheena. You ok?" She spoke to her friend through the door not sure if Jen wanted her to come in or not. By this time she was starting to wish she had just stayed at camp but then again she was glad she found out about Mike’s tumour. God knows when she would of found out about it if she hadn’t followed him home.

At Jen's outburst, Mike winced. Guilt flooded through him as he realized how he just treated his ex-girlfriend AND best friend. He ran a hand through his hair, caught in indecision. To go after her, or not? To say sorry, or not? He leaned his back against the wall as he stared at the entrance of the kitchen. He knew he should have been nicer to Jen, but it was too late now. All he could do now was apologize. But for some reason, he didn't feel like apologizing. He was fed up with all the things that were happening around him, and for once... He didn't feel like being a good boy. He just felt like rebelling against everything that he believed in. He wanted to see how it felt like to be crazy, wild. He wanted to see his alter-ego. The one thing he learned about during the past 24 hours, was that you only live once. Try new things, and don't be afraid to fall because you can always pick yourself up and try again.
Mike was staring down at the floor when he heard another pair of footsteps by the entrance of the kitchen. His head snapped up at the third person, and eyes widened at the sight of his girlfriend. The expression that he saw in her eyes told him everything. She knew. She had heard their whole conversation. As she walked away to comfort Jen, he cursed himself for being so self-centered and placid about the whole situation. He would have told Sheena earlier, but he simply wasn't ready. It was hard enough contacting his family, he just didn't know how he would voice the problem to Sheena. He couldn't just go up to her at camp one day and be like, "Hey Sheena. I have a tumor and I might just die. Love 'ya." No, he wanted to tell her when the moment was right. He just didn't want her to find out this way. Not by eaves-dropping. Then it hit him. How the hell did she get here? He rubbed his temple, feeling one of those tumor-headaches coming on. "Damn it!" He spun around and kicked the wall in frustration, leaving a small hole in the wall. Luckily, he wore shoes so it didn't hurt that much. He sank to the floor, and buried his face into his hands; feeling like a little boy all over again. He just wanted all the drama that happened in the damn house to disappear. The thoughts of rebelling and finding his alter-ego faded away, and all he wanted to do was all the normal things that used to surround his life. Teasing Jen, picking on Sammi, surfing, just living life like it used to be.
