Chapter 15
"All right man," Zigzag sat on the bed and looked at Squid. Squid clamped his hands together and sighed.
"Well...I've been thinking about stuff," he started to stay. He sat on the chair that was there in the room. Zigzag looked at him.
"Nayel," he said. Squid quickly looked at him.
"What," Squid exclaimed as his heart skipped a beat.
"Squid I'm not stupid," Zigzag had a smile on his face. "I may have been in here for a long time but I know what you want to talk about,"
"Well I just hate it," Squid looked down. "I mean why does she love you? I've known her for a long time and we only dated for like 3 months then I got sent here to this piece of shit. This place has been an obstacle for me,"
"What do you mean," Zigzag leaned forward.
"I mean this place was the only thing that kept me and Nayel a part," he sighed. "But now she's here. I can touch her and feel her," he walked over to the window. "Zig I love her and she doesn't even know it,"
"Have you told her," Zigzag lifted an eyebrow.
"No," he shook his head. "I haven't had the balls to do it. It's like she has this spell over me. I look into her eyes and I get lost,"
"You are very poetic Squid," Zigzag let a laugh. Squid formed a smile on his face.
"It's true. When I see her with you," he stopped and tried to recollect his thoughts.
"What about it," Zigzag listened to every word Squid was saying.
"I just want to beat the shit out of you. I want you gone so I can have her," Squid looked at Zigzag.
"Okay Squid I just came out of a coma please don't hurt me again," he said sarcastically.
"I know that man," Squid laughed. "I'm just saying the way I feel,"
"Squid I'm going to be a friend here and I know you aren't going to like what I'm about to say but it sounds like you are obsessed with her. You can't get her out your head. You want to be with her every day. I mean chill," Zigzag grabbed the clock from the night stand.
"I'm not obsessed with her," he yelled. "I just care about her," he changed his tone.
"Okay whatever," Zigzag got up. "Let's just go,"
"No I'm not done," Squid crossed his arms. "I hit you because I couldn't control myself anymore. I pushed because of what you said to Nayel. I'm sorry man,"
"Squid it's cool. What's done is done nothing can change that okay," Zigzag nodded. "Let's go to the tent," Zigzag and Squid walked into the tent.
"Hey guys," Squid looked around smiling. Everyone seemed sad. "What's up," Squid sat on his cot. Zigzag sat on his. Everyone looked at him.
"You mean you don't know," X-Ray seemed a little angry but sad at the same time.
"No," Squid shook his head.
"Damn," Armpit shook his head.
"What is it," Squid's smile faded as he looked around. He looked down at his hand and noticed he still had his shovel in his hand. He dropped it to the ground.
"No one told you," Magnet got up from his cot and walked to Squid. Squid shook his head. "We found out after we came to the tent. Mom said he was going to tell you,"
"Tell me what," Squid demanded and looked at Nayel. Nayel was crying. "What the hell is going on,"
"It's Zig," X-Ray finally answered.
"Yeah I know he's alive," Squid pointed to Zigzag's cot but it was empty.
"He can't be. He died," Armpit said quietly.
"No. I was just talking to him a while ago," Squid took off his baseball cap.
"No you weren't," X-Ray looked at him as if he was crazy. "You sat in your hole most of the day. You never moved. We didn't want to bother you,"
"No I went to Warden's cabin and Nayel was there. Right," he looked at Nayel.
"You never left," Nayel managed to say.
"No," he shook his head. "He's fine,"
"Squid he's dead," X-Ray said again.
"It can't be," Squid fell on his cot. "I saw him. I talked to him," he looked down.
"It's the guilt," Zero said. Squid looked at him. "You feel guilty so you are beginning to see Zig everywhere,"
"I saw him," Squid insisted.
"I'm sorry man," Magnet said and looked at Squid.
"We're all sorry," X-Ray stood up and walked over to Squid.
"It's not your fault," Armpit said.
"Yeah," X-Ray agreed. Squid started to shake and kept his concentration on the ground. Nayel walked over.
"It's okay," she put her hand on his shoulder. Squid pushed it away. He didn't speak. He couldn't. His body felt numb. He knew he killed Zigzag. He had proof. Everyone was crying and gloomy. He didn't blink.
"Maybe we should call Ma," Magnet suggested. Nayel shook her head.
"No leave him alone," Nayel said automatically and knelt down. "Alan," Squid didn't answer. "Alan talk to me," Squid still didn't say anything.
"What do we do," X-Ray looked at Nayel. Nayel looked at Squid.
"Alan," she said again. Squid was still shaking. The voices around him seem to fade out.
"Squid," Armpit said.
"Damn what do we do," Magnet began to panic. "Shit," he yelled.
"He's in shock just calm down," Nayel said and took hold of Squid's shoulders. Squid didn't look at her. "Alan look at me please," she said. Squid still didn't do anything. "Get Mom," she finally yelled. "Squid stay with me," she lightly tapped his cheek. His face began to turn pale. "Squid," she said again. "Hurry," the voices again began to fade and Squid hit the pillow.
