* Author Notes * I updated once again! Yay! It's been a while, I know, but
I think it's coming along as expected. I want to work on the sub-plot a
little more. I need some more inspiration in order to update next. Instead,
I may start a new story. Yupp. Enjoy!
Squid got up off his chair and quietly creeped over to Steph. He was beyond speechless. "Uh, hey Steph." She deliberately ignored him. "What are you doing here?" He continued.
Steph turned slowly. "I'd tell you, but I'd have to ask where Megin was first." She squinted her eyes and continued to walk through the Wreck Room.
"Burn, dude, burn." Armpit sighed.
"You don't know what you think you know, Steph." Squid tried again.
"Hm?"
"You think you know it all. You don't."
"I do know. After we hooked up, you got together with that Megin bitch and completely screwed me over. I'm sorry, but does that not count?"
"Steph, you don't know, alright?" All eyes were on Squid. "Ok we've got an audience, come with me."
"I'm not going NOWHERE with you." Steph said boldly.
"Well do you want all of them to hear?"
"You know what? My past few years have been hell beyond imagination. When I moved, life wasn't as great as I made it out to seem." Steph started to raise her voice. "I'm not your little girl anymore, you can't make me do anything."
"You? My little girl? Do you know who you're TALKING to?" Squid got a bit more aggressive.
"Sorry." Mumbled Steph. She walked out of the Wreck Room and Squid followed behind trying to catch up.
"Steph, you don't understand how much you meant to me. I never liked Megin, she broke us up. And I didn't want that, Steph, I really didn't."
"So you didn't explain?" Steph said with very little understanding.
"You don't GET IT! Oh my God! You've got to listen," Squid rested his hand on her shoulder with Steph immediately pushing him off.
"You have NO RIGHT to touch me. Get away from me, I never want to see you again!!" She ran off in the direction of the Warden's cabin. Squid heard sniffling and decided not to try again. He went back over to the guys in the Wreck Room, and each of them tried to started to make conversation with him.
"So dude? You two on?" Armpit implied.
"Leave me alone."
"Come on, I needa know whether or not to hit on her!" Armpit pushed a little.
"Just leave me alone, don't talk to me."
"Paranoia." Zig-Zag suggested.
X-Ray mumbled, "You're not one to talk, man." Causing the group to laugh.
"Just leave him alone, he wants some privacy. Obviously he doesn't want to talk about it. Just leave him." Zero said.
"Fine." Was all that came out of the group as they left to enter the tent. All who remained were Squid and Zero.
"Thanks." Squid reached out for Zero.
"Anytime. Now care to explain what happened?"
"All right." And Squid began.
