Alright, I don't have much to say.
But, I do know that this story is coming to an end shortly. A couple more chapters…(heh, I already know the ending. It's kinda cool)
So, thanks to everyone who reviewed! I seriously appreciate it! I love reviews **hint hint**
~*~
Squid slowly opened his eyes into small slits. The brightness of things surrounding him made them quickly squeeze shut. Please…he didn't want to be in heaven.
Was he in heaven??
He didn't want to be separated from everyone. Zigzag needed him. He needed Zigzag…
I shrill beeping noise caught his ears. It was rising in pitch, and going faster and faster. Voices encircle around his body. Panicked and ordering…
Where was he?
He struggled to get up. He needed to find a place out of here.
"…calmed down!..." He heard.
"… restraints…"
"…awake…"
Something was suddenly restraining him from his efforts. He doubled his struggling, kicking his legs, thrashing his arms, and bucking his body of the thing he was lying on.
But 'it' was holding him down.
His brain told him to yell, but something was preventing that. In fact…he couldn't breathe.
He was choking—but abruptedly, a soft hand was placed on his cheek. He immediately stopped struggling to hear the soothing voice whispering in his ear,
"Honey…Honey, calm down. It's alright. You're fine…just calm down. That's right, just listen to me,"
Squid's head slowly turned to the left where the voice was speaking softly, and opened his eyes sluggishly.
He wasn't in heaven—although the person above him looked like an angel. He was in the hospital. Squid noticed, and felt, a rather large tube down his throat. A bulky machine next to him was making a beeping noise, that he realized, what he was hearing earlier.
Again, he looked up into the nurses eyes above him. Her long, curly dirty blonde hair hung slightly over her shoulders, but what Squid realized the most was her eyes. They were an extremely light blue with, what seemed dots of dark blue inside them. She looked in her mid or late 20's, yet she looked as though she could be in her teens.
"Hey, honey. Don't you worry, alright? You're in the hospital. There's no need to be scared. You're friend is here…"
Squid's eyes brightened at the word 'friend'. The nurse seemed to notice, for she walked away for a second.
His thoughts trailed to Zigzag. Maybe he was okay, and here to see him---but it wasn't Zigzag.
It was X-ray.
The nurse slowly walked back with X-ray at her side. He walked close to Squid and winced slightly,
"Hey, man," X-ray looked a little uncomfortable, "Looks like you…well, took a big spill," He looked down to Squid's leg which was wrapped tightly in a make-shift cast. His right arm was, also, wrapped in a cast which was held close to his chest. His forehead was bandaged tightly. X-ray was able to see part of a bruise that wasn't covered right above his eye.
Squid was about to reply when he remembered the tube in his throat. He remained silent, yet his eyes were urging X-ray to be able to answer a question that had been burning in his mind.
"Umm…I gotta get back to camp soon. I guess Mr. Sir found out I was gone. He was yellin' at the staff to able to let me in. Heh, I'm gonna get it when I get back," He winced again.
Still, Squid remained quite.
"I guess you wanna know about Zig?" Finally…this was what he wanted to hear. No one had been able to tell Squid how his friend was, "Last I heard, he was in surgery. For his stomach, I think,"
Squid closed his eyes. This was his entire fault.
If he had pushed Zigzag out of the way, entirely, before Mr. Sir hit them…
"Squid? You 'wake?" X-ray's words penetrated his thoughts. He opened his eyes slowly and looked at X-ray. The nurse, as all the other doctors, had apparently left.
"Listen, it ain't your fault,"
Squid rolled his eyes, Jeez, can you read my thoughts too?
"Seriously, Squid. Don't go blaming yourself. I gotta get going, alright. The nurse is gonna have my head if I don't let you get some rest," X-ray smiled, "Just take it easy,"
And he left.
Squid's thoughts drifted back over to Zigzag. He wondered where he was. If he was awake, or still in surgery.
Zig? He might as well try…
'…Squid?'
Zig! Man, where are you?
'I don't know…it's dark…black'
Squid swallowed—well, he tried to swallow. This was not happening.
Zigzag couldn't be…there…
