Chapter 8: I Love You

Squid couldn't take it. He watched Sarah grip his hand with all her might; she was in so much pain.

He couldn't take it. He was helpless. Sarah had to go through so much pain in so little time. And not just physical pain, but emotional and mental pain too.

She claims she had a perfect life. Squid didn't doubt that. He could very well imagine her perfect life. And then, when she's attacked, she kills someone. He, and everyone else he knew, would kill them. Or, at least try. Few would succeed.

Then, since no one believed that he had attacked her, everyone deserted her. Her friends, her family, everyone. So, for the longest time, she had no one. No one who had a shoulder she could cry on. No one to tell her it would be fine. No one to tell her that she would be fine. No one to tell her that, no matter what happens, they would wait for her to come back. No one to tell her that they loved her.

But now, she has Squid. Now, she had Squid's shoulder to cry on. Squid could tell her everything would be fine. Squid could tell her that he would wait for her. Squid could tell her that he loved her.

But he didn't.

He hadn't.

He had the opportunity, but he didn't.

All those times.. and he didn't say anything.

He never thought that a time like this would come.. where she might die.

But it did. And he still has to say it.

"Squid.." Sarah whispered, her eyes closed.

"Shh.. don't talk.." Squid whispered, gripping her hand.

"No.. but I have to say it.." Sarah moaned.

"No.. I have to tell you something first. Please, lemme talk." He told her.

She moaned again. Squid took that as a yes.

"Um.. I've been thinking about what you said when everyone deserted you after you killed that guy, and.. I have something to tell you."

"I'm here for you. If you need a shoulder to cry on, I'm here. I'm telling you right now that everything is going to be okay, and that I'll wait for you forever. And.. I love you."

Sarah opened her eyes a little. "Really?"

Squid nodded, tears in his eyes. "Yes. I love you."

Sarah had tears too. "Oh Squid, I lov-"

BEEP!
