Chapter 14
Squid had his shovel in his hand but wasn't moving. "Squid you okay," Magnet asked.
"Yeah," he nodded. He looked over at the Warden's cabin. "I'm going," he said and got up.
"You can't go anywhere," X-Ray exclaimed. "You have to dig," Squid shrugged and headed to the camp. Nayel looked at him and followed. "Fine whatever," he continued digging. He wasn't going to let Squid's problems get to him. Squid stormed through the Warden's cabin door.
"Excuse me," the Warden yelled. Nayel walked in behind. Squid headed upstairs to the room with Zigzag. "Squid get your ass down here," she yelled again. Nayel stayed quiet.
"Zigzag," he opened the door and walked over to the bed. "Zig wake the hell up," he said.
"Get out of here," the Warden walked into the door. Nayel walked in behind.
"No. I know he's a fine he just needs help," Squid insisted.
"Squid," Nayel said quietly.
"Zig wake up," he said again.
"He isn't going to wake up," the Warden yelled. "He might never wake up," she insisted. Squid looked at her.
"What," he said.
"The doctors say he is in a coma," she shrugged. "You practically killed him," she glared at him.
"You bitch," Nayel glared at the Warden.
"I'm telling you the truth," the Warden looked at them. "The shovel must have caused it. If you hadn't pushed him he wouldn't be here now would he Squid," Squid stayed silent and just looked at Zigzag.
"I didn't kill him," he said under his breath.
"Yes you did," she nodded. "Sorry Squid," she sighed.
"He's still alive," Squid said. He shook Zigzag lightly.
"No he isn't," the Warden said again. Squid just kept shaking him lightly. "Stop it," she said. "You are just hurting him more,"
"Zig man wake up we gotta dig," Squid tried to convince himself the Zigzag was okay.
"Squid," Nayel grabbed his arm. "Maybe she's right,"
"What," he looked at her. "You are just giving up! What the fuck is your problem! Nayel I thought you believed me! I guess I was wrong huh," he looked back at Zigzag.
"I..I'm sorry," Nayel said and walked out. She couldn't stand it anymore. Seeing Squid like this. He wasn't himself. She feared that he would never be the same.
"Fine you can stay here with your dead friend," the Warden left. Squid clenched his teeth.
"Squid," a familiar voice said.
"Zig," he said automatically.
"Yeah," Zigzag rubbed his head and sat up slowly. "Where the hell am I?"
"The Warden's cabin," Squid smiled. "You see I knew I wasn't crazy. People thought I killed you,"
"Well obviously you didn't," Zigzag smiled. "It's actually nice in here," he looked around and stood up. "How long have I been here,"
"A couple of days but it seems like months," Squid smiled and kind of laughed.
"Well don't be surprised if it was," Zigzag headed to the door.
"Where you going," Squid asked and followed him.
"I gotta go see my girlfriend," Zigzag smiled. Squid felt a rush of emotion go through his body. "You know Nayel," Zigzag lifted an eyebrow and opened the door. Squid couldn't believe that Nayel was the first thing that he thought about. He guessed that Zig really cared about her, but he had to let Zigzag know how he felt about Nayel. Squid closed the door.
"We need to talk," Squid looked at him. Zigzag looked back. Squid finally decided to tell Zigzag why he beat him up. Why he spat at him. Why he pushed Zigzag making him hit his head on the shovel. Everything. He was going to be honest with his best friend.
