Chapter 11

Grenade

Everything ached.

My head, my arms, my legs, my back, everything.

My hands were blistered and bloody.

Yet, I still had to dig some more.

I tried to stand. No luck. My muscles were too sore.

"Um, you guys? Can I have some help?" I asked.

"What is it Angel?" Squid mumbled, turning over in his bed to face me.

"I'm hurting," I moaned.

"Aww, let me help you," he smiled, walking over to my bed and giving me a quick peck on the lips.

"Mmm. . . I do feel better. But what about the others? Do they know?" I asked, my head spinning from the kiss.

"I told them everything. They were 100 percent supportive," he said, not sounding so sure.

"What did they say?"

"They said "Good luck with that," patted me on the head and walked off."

"Oh."

"Yeah. We should probably get going, to, you know, dig."

"Okay. Turn away please," I murmured.

He turned away and I quickly hopped into my jumpsuit. I put on a mint green tank top and tied the sleeves of my jumpsuit around my waist.

"I'm ready now, Squiddy," I said.

He blushed and took my hand. We walked out of the tent towards the rest of D-Tent.

Mr Pendanski came to unlock the library. I lined up behind X-Ray.

"You know, Squid isn't worth it," he said.

"Yeah, you would say that," I retorted.

"Really. He's a player. He told me all about when he was at home. Coolest guy in school. Slept with all the girls. All that junk."

I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

"Really?" I whispered.

Armpit must have been listening because he piped in.

"Yeah. He told us about Daisy, and Emma, and Roxy. He's a real player. He knows what a girl wants to hear."

"Think about it Angel. Do you really believe that when this is all over for him, he'll really still love you? Or will he just go back to Texas and snog who knows how many more girls, not giving you a second thought?" X-Ray asked, smirking.

"I guess I always wanted to believe. . . that he would always love me, forever," I said quietly.

"It's time to stop living in that fantasy girl, and forget about him ever wanting you forever. You're just a distraction. He doesn't love you really," X-Ray said, grabbing his shovel and heading towards the digging area.

I felt. . . completely violated. I knew he wasn't who he said he was. Part of me still wanted to believe that he would always love me, but I knew the truth.

I grabbed my shovel and walked out towards where I had to dig. X-Rays words echoed in my ears.

"Hey baby," Squid said, coming up behind me and attempting to kiss me. I pushed his head away.

"What is it?" he asked. I turned on my heel.

"Oh, like you don't know," I yelled. The others turned towards me.

"Um, no, actually I don't," he said.

"Will you love me forever?" I asked him.

"Of course I will Angel," He said.

"Lies! All lies! I know all about your past. Do you think that you could kiss me and pretend I'm yours, but then go home and have sex with somebody else? Did you?" I screamed.

"Er. . ." he mumbled, but I continued.

"Because I have something to say about that! I can't believe you!" I yelled and then strutted away towards my digging site. He grabbed my shoulder.

"Angel. . ." he said.

"No!" I yelled, shrugging his hand off of me.

"Please. . . You don't understand," he cried.

"I understand perfectly!" I yelled again, and then I began to sing.

"Easy come, easy go
That's just how you live, oh
Take, take, take it all,
But you never give
Should of known you was trouble from the first kiss,
Why were they open?

Gave you all I had
And you tossed it in the trash
You tossed it in the trash, you did
To give me all your love is all I ever asked,
Cause what you don't understand is

I'd catch a grenade for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Throw my hand on a blade for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'd jump in front of a train for ya (yeah, yeah , yeah)
You know I'd do anything for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Oh, oh
I would go through all this pain,
Take a bullet straight through my brain,
Yes, I would die for ya baby;
But you won't do the same

I turned to walk away, but I though I could leave him with a bit more pain than I had already done.

No, no, no, no
Black, black, black and blue beat me till I'm numb
Tell the devil I said "hey" when you get back to where you're from
Mad dude, bad dude,
That's just what you are, yeah,
You'll smile in my face then rip the breaks out my car

Gave you all I had
And you tossed it in the trash
You tossed it in the trash, yes you did
To give me all your love is all I ever asked
Cause what you don't understand is

I'd catch a grenade for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Throw my hand on a blade for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'd jump in front of a train for ya (yeah, yeah , yeah)
You know I'd do anything for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Oh, oh
I would go through all this pain,
Take a bullet straight through my brain,
Yes, I would die for ya baby;
But you won't do the same

If my body was on fire, ooh
You' d watch me burn down in flames
You said you loved me you're a liar
Cause you never, ever, ever did baby...
But darling I'll still catch a grenade for ya
Throw my hand on a blade for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'd jump in front of a train for ya (yeah, yeah , yeah)
You know I'd do anything for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Oh, oh
I would go through all this pain,
Take a bullet straight through my brain,
Yes, I would die for ya baby;
But you won't do the same.
No, you won't do the same,
You wouldn't do the same,
Ooh, you'll never do the same,
No, no, no, no
"

With that, I strutted away, leaving his open-mouthed. As I headed towards the place I was to dig, I heard Magnet in the distance.

"Dude. You broke her heart."

A?N: Chapter 11! I thought I'd put this in because I was running out of ideas. The song was Grenade by Bruno Mars. I had to change some of the words (woman to dude), but I hope you enjoyed. Keep reviewing!
