"Hey Peanut." I said as I walked into the tent. I had left Ziggy in the boys tent and told
him I was just going to lay down. Peanut looked up at me and got up.
"Are you okay? I would have stayed with you but Zigzag told me to go." She told me.
"Sammi? He.. Didn't do anything to you. Did he?" She asked me. I shook my head.
"No. He didn't. I'm fine. I just threw up a few minutes ago." I was beginning to get a
headache. She helped me to my cot and I lay down. She sat on her own cot and
looked at me.
"You look horrible." She said at last. A bit of a laugh in her voice. I laughed.
"Yeah well, guess you haven't looked in a mirror lately have you? Oh wait! That's how
you've always looked!" I joked. She laughed.
"Oh thanks." She smiled.
"Hey peanut, do you believe what Cig said?" I asked her. I was still trying to find out if
I did or not.
"Not really. There's a bit of me that does, because I Haven't known Squid or Zigzag
for that long, but they just don't seem like the type of guys to do that kind of thing."
She explained. "I hope you don't take that offensive in anyway."
"You should know me better than that." I turned on my side to face her. "I really don't
think Ziggy or Squid would rape some one. But you never know, ya know?" I sighed.
"My head is killing me!" I groaned.
"You should go to bed. Or maybe Mom has some tyenol you could take?" She
suggested. I shook my head.
"Na. I'm good." I huddled closer to myself and shut my eyes. "I actually thought I loved him." I said. She looked over at me.
"Who?"
"Zigzag. It may sound stupid or corny, but I'm serious. It was like he was the
one. He was perfect. To me at least. But now, I just don't feel all that close to him
anymore. Not that he's pushing me away, but like.. Maybe I'm scared of him? I don't
know. I don't think that's it." I said, falling asleep.
"Sammi, go to bed. We'll talk more in the morning." Peanut said as I turned around on
my cot. Slowly I drifted off.
Zigzag's POV
Cig told Psych that me and Squid are rapists! Which isn't true! Maybe in some twisted
way we are but no! We didn't do anything like that to her! And then.. Psych actually
went practically psycho. She kept telling me not to come any closer to her or she might
kill me. It really hurt that she was thinking of it. I think she's scared of me now too.
After the whole incident and everything, she climbed into her hole and fell asleep.
Peanut was going to stay with her, but I felt that I should. It would give us a chance to
talk when she woke up. When she did wake up, around 7 I think, she threw up. After
that she said she still felt sick, so we just went back to camp. When we were walking
back, she was a lot more distant than before. We would have at least been holding
hands, even if she was sick. Well actually since she was sick, I'd be comforting her
with my arm around her shoulders. That's what I was thinking of doing, but she stayed
a good distance away from me.
After we got back to the tent, I was going to take her to cot but she told me to stay in
the guys' tent. I guess Squid had some problems with Peanut too. Not as bad as me
and Psych though. I think Psych is just confused. Maybe she was hurt before? Oh god!
And now she's hurting again! Dammit Cig! You just had to ruin this for me! Finally
something was going right for me and you had to ruin it! FUCK! I bit my lip and
clenched my fists to keep from cursing out loud. The other boys are sleeping. At least I
think they are. God dammit Cig! I cursed Cig until I fell asleep.
