Chapter 2: Crushed
'Patrick and sandy?!' He thought 'But...how?!'
Spongebob wanted to break down and cry. He wanted to take the flowers he gave Sandy (which was now sitting in an acorn themed vase) and just rip them all up one by one. But out of all the things he wanted to do... he wanted to curse out Patrick.
'How could he?!' thought Spongebob. 'He... he knew I liked her. He knew i wanted to make a move!' This was true. Spongebob told Patrick all about his plans to ask Sandy. But for some reason, Patrick always told him things like " I don't think you may be good enough for Sandy" or "Sandy doesn't like you. why try?" Spongebob always thought that it was just friendly advise... now he understood. His thoughts were disrupted by Sandy.
"Well Spongebob," started Sandy. "I know i should have told you sooner but... I'm kinda dating Patrick. I know I should have told you before, but I just wanted it to be a surprise!"
Spongebob didn't know why, but suddenly his emotions turned to sadness. He tried to fake a smile on his face, but he just couldn't do it. his eyes started to water and his teeth chattered. And he was just standing there, limp and weak. He answered.
"Yes... what i surprise" he said. His voice shaking.
Sandy looked at Spongebob, confused. "Spongebob? Are you ok?"
Spongebob was, at this point. Crying. But he kept his head down so nobody could see. Spongebob remembered his bet with Squidward of him not being able to cry for a day. 'If i can get through that,' he thought 'then why cant i get through this?' but he knew why: love. His thoughts were racing so fast and long, he forgot that Sandy was still there watching him.
"Spongebob?Spongebob are you ok?"
Spongebob couldn't take it anymore... "I'm... I'm fine. I'm..." Soon, in the middle of his whole mess of emotions, he bursted into tears and ran out. And even as he was running home, he continued to cry for other things.
He cried because he was thinking about how humiliating it must have been to have ran out Sandy's house that way. He cried about how his friend betrayed him. But most of all... how Sandy could not be his.
