"Well, now we're all gonna pay the price, because we're all gonna bloody d-"
"CALM DOWN!"
The voice seemed panicked, desperate- certainly not very calm herself. But that- he shouldn't be worried anout that, not when everything was collapsing and all of his senses were focused on that one tiny human voice. Chell!?
He must have shown surprise, because she... nodded. Calmly. And she struggled upright, wrapping him in her arms as she did so (and pulling him an inch lower, considering how limp he was at the moment.) "What?" He said, a little dumbly. She spoke.
"You have one chance."
"A chance-" He repeateed. "Wh-What, a chance to do what what can I do when this place is about to explode..." He trailed off, struggling half-heartedly.
"Surrender. Now."
He considered this for a moment. "No." -and his voice was surprisingly calm and he felt surprisingly calm- "You're going to die with me."
"Please, Wheatley." She said, desperation showing in her voice again. "Everything is going to be fine. You just have to give up - I don't want to have to hurt You - You're not thinking straight..."
"You deserve to die."
"Why?" Chell cried, fire in her eyes, for a moment.
"You... didn't catch me..." He was beyond crying now. Numb, to be honest.
"Neither of us have to get hurt here. It's this, or..." She gestured vaguely.
He had felt a reluctance to kill her, earlier. It had seemed so, he didn't know. Just wrong. Not now. Now, he just wanted this situation to end one way or another and just to cause her as much pain as possible. "I'm not going to be- led along by you! You..." He narrowly avoided whimpering- "wouldn't test properly..." He jerked upwards, out of her hold. "No."
Chell aimed her portal gun at something... in the sky... "Really?"
"I hate you."
"Please..." She murmured, one last time.
"Don't bother." A moment afterwards, he realised I shouldn't have said that, I'm sorry, and I love you all at once, but toolatetoolateTOOLATE...
Drabble. Was vaguely inspired by the Rihanna song of the same name. Also, this had twelve "..."'s (thirteen if you include that one) in it. Might have gone a bit overboard with those.
