Chapter 4

At School: Dib's POV

I more nervously in my seat waiting for the next class to start. Yesterday was a weird day. Zim has come back but only to leave two minutes later. Students sit in their seats as the bell rings

"Sit down you little demons!"Mr Rigger. He was a thin and tall man. Thin hair, pointy nose, large glasses, and had a funny walk. He would walk while leaning back and take a small step then a big step then small again. One thing is certain about this was man was that he is short tempered and easily set off. He also hated kids and his job.

"We have two new little monsters in disguise joining us today. Come in!" Two students walked in. One was Zim in his disguise. He looked straight at me. He was smiling at me. I turn to look at the guy standing next to him. He had black eyes and hair. He was shorter than Zim. He was clinging to Zim as if they were a couple. It was pissing me off! "This is Zim and Mar. Mar take a seat behind Dib. Zim seat in the seat in front." Zim sat in the desk two seats to the right from my desk. Mar glared at me as he walked by. Zim watched him with glaring eyes. "Read chapter 6 in the book quietly" Mr Rigger hissed at us. Mar smiled as he sat down. He kicked the bottom of my chair every few minutes.

"Stop it" I hissed at him

"Dib!What pat of read quietly don't you understand?!"Mr Rigger shouted at me.

"Sorry" I mumbled. I waited for an hour until lunch. The whole time Mar glared at me, kicked my chair and stared at Zim. I could here him giggle when Zim looked over here. He thought Zim was looking at him. He is pissing me off more and more. The lunch bell rang. I ran out of the room to get as far away as possible from those two. I ran to the field. I sat under a small tree that grow at the far corner of the field. Two large containers hide the tee and me from the rest of the school.

"Zim you are an idiot."

"There is only one idiot here" I turn and saw Mar standing on one of the containers. "And that's you"he jumped down. "Your Dib?" he sneered "Zim gives you too much praise."he grabs my shirt and pins me to the container. "Listen DIB!"he said my name as if was the worse thing he has ever been force to say "Zim is MINE!Stay away from him!"

"No!Zim isn't yours. He was mine first and I'm taking him back!"

"He has been mine for two years sense he dumped your ass"

"Shut up!"

"what you getting angry knowing he was happy with some one else?!" I struggle to get free. I kick him off to one side.

"Believe me! He was never happy with you!" I walk away from the isolated corner. Mar jumps on my back knocking me to the ground. I let all the anger I had out. I punch is face as we roll around. I get up and try to punch him in the face but he dodged it.

"Take it back! He was way happier with me!"Mar blurts out. I kick him in the back of the knees knocking him off his feet.

"Bastard!"

"Bitch!" Mar charged at me. He punched me in the stomach. I returned the favor and punched back. He glared at each other for a minute.

"Just give up Dib. I'm an irkin. I can take anything!You can't!"

"Well see about that!" Mar pulls out something from his pocket. It looks like the fusion of a gun and a flame thrower.

"Say bye bye to Zim Dib. He's staying with me!" he shot at me. I moved to the left. It barely missed me. Instead it hit a pole a few feet behind me. The pole turn to ashes. "The next one won't miss! I can promise you that!" I try to move but something was rapped around my foot. I look and see a rope around my foot.

"When did-?!"

"I placed it there. I have been trying to make you stumble on to it so I can get a clean shot" I try to pull it off my foot. It gets more and more tangled. I really don't want to turn into ashes.

"Three....." I try harder to pull my foot out from the tangled rope.

"Two......" It isn't working. It is getting worse.

"One......." If I had a few more seconds. I could get out of this!

"Say bye to Zim! Zero!" I can see his finger on the trigger. I close my eyes. A few seconds pass. I open them to see why I haven't died. It was Zim. He was blocking the beam. He was holding up his palm. In it was a small disk that made a siled protecting us

"Mar!What the hell are you doing?!"

"What does it look like?!I am getting rid of the thing making you unhappy!"

"What?!"

"You always complain about your life with Dib and then you ditched me to see HIM!" he started to cry.

"Mar" Zim said sympathetically.

"Zim?" I looked up at him. Inside I started to panic. The thought of Zim leaving again come in my head. He looks down at me was he was about to do something he didn't want to.

"Mar this isn't the Dib I was talking about!"

"What?! You said that-" Zim appeared in front of Mar.

"They are many people on this planet with the same name. This not the Dib I was talking about. Besides I have no feelings for him any more"

"Zim?" I said softly. He ignored me. He leaned in close to Mar. "Don't" It came out as a whimper. Again he ignored me. I started to cry silently. I looked away as they kissed. I got the ropes untangled and walked away from them. I looked back at them only once. They were still kissing and had not moved. Tears start to show up. I walked through the empty halls. The lunch bell had rang ten minutes ago. I walked out of the school not paying attention to where I was going. I walked for what seemed like hours. I walked around the city until night fall. What had happened kept replaying in my head. Every last detail was there. The memory wouldn't fade away. I ended up at a park on the other side of the city. There was a cold breeze through out the park. The lamp's bulbs were burned out. So most of the park was dark. I sat on one of the park benches near the lake. The lake is man made. It was created to make the park more attractive to visitors. That is if the ducks and geese don't chase you. I stare at the lake's surface. I lean in. I could easily fall in and drown,but I don't care. The stars reflected off the surface. The shimmered in the water. It was a beautiful sight. A fresh tear rolled down my cheek and fell into the lake. The tear had created a ripples on the surface. They grow larger and large on the calm surface of the lake. I watched as my tears fell in to the lake.

"You okay?" I look behind me and see Gir standing there. He was in his dog disguise again.

"No Gir"

"Wan to talk?"

"Not if your going to tell Zim"

"I won't tell"

"He kissed Mar right in front of me and acted like I was nothing to him"

"I hate Mar!"

"Why?"

"Selfish, moody, spoiled,brat!"

"If you could figure that out why can't Zim?"

"He knows"

"What?!"

"He knows"

"Then why?! Why did he act like a jerk?!" I glared down at Gir. He came and sat down next to me and took off his disguise. He didn't talk. I stared at the night sky. The stars twinkled every now and then.

"Mar is a killer" Gir said suddenly. I stare at him for a minute. There was silents again.

"He's a killer?"

"He was let out of prison two days before Master meet him. Master only liked him because Mar reminded him of Dib"

"How does a killer remind him of me?"

"You both were stubborn when you meet Master. Then you both fell in love with him. The only difference is that Master only fell for you. He only used Mar to fill in the whole that leaving you created in his heart."

"So why do you hate him?"

"He steals from me and kicks me when no one is looking. In the two years that they were together he used Zim."

"How?"

"......."

"It was that bad?" Gir nodded.

"That's why Master dumped him. He was sick of Mar. He wasn't you. Master tried to tell him but he got mad and said he would get you. He panicked and stayed with him because master knew he could. So instead we took him to 'visit' a black whole and he 'fell' in."

"You two pushed him into a black whole?"

"Yup"

"Well I don't care! He still shouldn't have treated me like that. If he loved me like he says he does Mar would be gone by now!" Gir didn't respond. He knew I was right. "Zim still acted like a jerk."

"You hate him right now?"

"Yes Gir."I say quietly "He didn't have to kiss him in front of me, or at least he should have tolled me."

"I agree........Dib leave the park"Gir instantly froze. His head had popped out an antenna. The antenna started to glow sending a signal.

"Why?"I asked nervously.

"Zim is coming....you going to go or stay?"

"Leaving right know. Don't want to see him right now. From where is he coming from?"

"He's coming from the north east at twenty-five mph. You have seven minutes until he gets here. I won't tell him anything we talked about.

"Thank you Gir. I'll give you some candy later." Gir's mouth started to water at the thought of candy. I sprinted in the opposite direction of the park. The streets are dark but they are so many people still on the street. I could blend in easily. I slow down to a power walk. The people were all pushing their way through the massive crowd. I was just one in an ocean of people. I pass a stand selling hats. I buy a black hat and leave the stand. I picked up my pace and headed to my house. I pass no one I knew. A chill ran down my spine. I spot something out of the corner of my eye. I stop for a second and turn to see what it was. It was a cat's shadow. I continue to walk towards the house. Shadows shift around me as I walk down the dark street. Relief sets in as I I pass a familiar convenient store that was two blocks away from my house. I speed up and keep looking behind me. I see shadows moving faster to keep up with me. I run faster, but the shadow keeps up. I spot an alley way. I hide in the alley behind the garbage cans. I hear footsteps running past the entrance of the alley. I sigh in relief and wait a few minute until getting out of my hiding spot. I walk towards the entrance of the alley when I hear some one chuckling. I turn to see a figure in the shadows.

"who are you? Mar? Zim?"

"You don't remember me Dib" The figure had a darkly. He stepped out of the shadows into the dim light. It was enough for me to see his features. Long spiky brown hair, brown eyes, tanned skin, muscular, tall and slim. He wore black ripped up jeans and a dark green shirt. He had both his ears pierced, bottom lip and his left eyebrow.

"It's been along time Dib. I got out on parole" He said

" Jet!What do you want?"

"I want what is mine! I am going to claim you Dib!" fear froze me in place. He grew closer and closer. My body shivered as he got closer. " I won't hurt you Dib" he said innocently " I just want to be with you. I marked you already. You can't escape from me" he pulled me to him. He kissed me gently and calmly like it always starts before he goes insane. All I could do is wait for every thing to be over. I close my eyes as I feel his hands going under my shirt. He rips my jacket and shirt clean off my body. I can't feel my arms. I can't lift them. This routine has be permanently scarred into my brain. At first it is always soft, caring, gentle, and.......loving. Until be snaps. He takes his time and and kisses my chest and neck.

"What!" he says furious. "What did you say?!" I realize them that I had said something without knowing it.

"I don't know" I whimper. I know what came next. Two seconds later he hits me. He slaps me. He pushes me to the ground where he kicks me repeatably. I gasp at each hit. He look around for something to hit me with. He finds an old cable. He whips me with it. The pain is familiar. It was the kind of pain I though I wouldn't have to go through again. I can see blood. My blood is all over the walls and floor. He glares down at me like I was his obedient pet that had just bitten him. I can't glare back due to blood loss. The pain is beginning to become unbearable. I gather up my the last bit off to sit up and lean on the wall. I'm going to try to cry out. I know what I say next will probably kill me if he's not near by to hear. I take in a deep breath and yell out as loud as I could " ZIM! HELP ME PLEASE! HELP ME PLEASE ZIM!" My voice echoed through the empty streets. It slowly fades away.

"You still won't give up on him will you?" He said it more to himself then me. "I guess I'm gonna need to make you forget!" he raises his hand containing the cable. I shut my eyes and wait for the impact. I don't hear anything and I don't feel any new pain on my body. I open my eyes. For the second time today I was saved by Zim. He stood over me. One hand was holding Jet's hand with the whip still in it.

"Who are you?!" Zim asked fiercely.

"Who the fuck are you?!"

"Tell me or I'll brake your arm!"he threatened. Zim's grip on Jet's arm increased. Jet cried out in pain.

"I'm Dib's owner. He's been a bad little boy and I'm right in the middle of punishing him!" He glared at me again.

"What did he do?"

"The little fucker kept saying his ex-boyfriend's name as I tried to do what I wanted with him" Hearing this made Zim beyond mad. He looks down at me. I looked away ashamed by what was happened. I hear something being thrown out of the alley and into the street. I turn at see jet scrambling to his feet. "Dib this won't be the last time you see me!" he runs off back into the shadows. I use the wall to help me get to my feet. I try to ignore the fact that Zim's still here. Once I get on my feet I turn to look at him. He stares at me. No. Not me at me. At my body. I feel his eyes on the many scars on my body.

"Thank you Zim. For coming" I walk towards the alley's entrance.

"Dib let me help you" Zim tries to grab my arm but I pull away from him.

"It's fine! I'm fine"I turn and walk towards my house hoping to be as far as possible from him. He follows not far behind me. " Why don't you go help Mar with something!" despite what Gir had tolled I still feel betrayed. "Like you said earlier! You have no felling towards me. So just leave me alone! I appreciate that you saved me so just leave already! It's obvious that you love Mar so much! Then why did you come back? To rub it in that you have moved on and I haven't?"

"Dib I still love you. I will always love you!" he grabbed my wrist and pulled me back.

"You have a funny way of showing it!"

"I know I should have tolled you all about Mar, but I thought it would be beast to keep you safe and away from him."

"You should have at least tolled me that you would be pretending to still be with him! You even kissed him in front of me. Why would you even date him?"

"Dib your right. The reason why I dated him was to heal my broken heart. Then I just couldn't let it go. He was a pain killer for me."

"Your no the only one who was hurt!Unlike you my painkiller almost always tried to kill and has tried to rape me! Your not the only one has suffered!" I glare at him. His eyes were looking at my scars. They were all over my body.

"I came back thinking every thing would be like I left it. Dib" I look away from his eye. "Dib please look at me. please"He begs. I turn to look at him. Tears were in his big blue eyes. The sight of him crying left me speechless. He hugged and started to talk again "I was selfish, stupid, and a complete bastard to you. I only thinking about myself. I'm sorry. I truly am. Please Dib believe me! Believe me!I was,am and always will be in love with you. Your the only one that could ever make me feel this way. Please believe me." He's word repeated in my head. My anger was extinguished inside my heart. I was calm and crying again. Zim was holding me tight and was holding him. He pulled back and looked at me. He kisses me quietly, carefully and lovingly. The only that was keeping me standing and conscious was my anger towards him,Mar,and Jet. Now that the anger was all gone. I fell into darkness.
