It had been seven weeks since She let her leave that terrible place.
It was the same nightmare every night: Hundreds of pictures of rooms flew through her mind. The taunting voice of Her telling her get revenge and kill him. And the corrupted tone in her best friend's voice as he tried to kill her.
Chell bolted upright in her bed covered in sweat, as she had every night since she found her home in Township 17. Goodness, this has got to stop. He's gone, and I'm away from that terrible hell-hole. After composing herself, she slowly stumbled out of bed to open the curtains. The bright light of the sun and the beautiful singing birds still made her feel overly gleeful. On her way to the kitchen she stumbled, catching herself moments before hitting the floor; She was still trying to get used to walking without those long fall boots she had grown accustomed to for so long. She stood up and made her way to the kitchen to make some coffee. Since she was thrust into starting her life over, she quickly learned that coffee was the only thing that would keep her alive during the day, since she hadn't slept well since the day she left. She grabbed her full mug and sat on the floor to watch the news on the TV.
She nearly dropped it when she saw a familiar blue eye staring back at her.
"Today, a near satellite captured this picture of a small orb looking robot floating that seems to be orbiting Earth." Chell couldn't take her eyes from the screen. That was him! He's still alive! Before she could get her thoughts and emotions together, the announcer caught her attention. "Wait, I've just been informed that we have a recording from that satellite! Can we play it? Great! Okay here is the recording that we have just received."
"Would you keep your blubbering mouth shut! Yes, I KNOW we're in space! My goodness why, of all things, did She send YOU out here with me, huh? Must be Her sick sense of humor. You know, space core, I would do anything to see her again. I mean, don't get me wrong, it would be for just a nanosecond because she would most likely kill me for what I did, but it would still be nice. But instead, I'm stuck out here. With you. Ya know it could..."
"That's all we were able to get from the transmission. Well, onto other news..."
Chell was frozen stiff. He's still alive? She thought to herself. And he wants to see me? Why in the world would he even care about me? He tried to kill me for goodness sakes! Chell tilted her head back to try to piece the last minute together. Wheatly was alive, and wanted to see her. She was trying separate the feeling of wanting to kill him for what he did to her, and the feeling of longing and joy that she had.
What can I do anyway? He's in space.. And with that, she quietly began to sob.
