The next morning when I woke up, I believed the incident that happened the day before
was all a bad dream. But one look at Peanut's face told me it hadn't been. Tears poured
from my eyes as I sat up.
"It's not true! I don't believe it! Ziggy wouldn't… he couldn't of!" I cried. Peanut
walked over to me and put a comforting arm around me. "I know." She said. Cig
walked over to us.
"I'm sorry I told you guys. But I didn't want the same thing to happen to you." She said
with emotion.
"So it is true." I sniffled. She nodded.
"I'm sorry." "You shouldn't be the one whose sorry. It's not you're fault those pigs.." I
stopped. The past was coming back. It was too painful. The tent flap lifted and cold air
swarmed in. ZigZag stood in the doorway looking uncomfortable.
"What are you doing here?" I spat.
"Psych, come on. I really need to talk to you." He said. I shook my head.
"And give you a chance to rape me? No. You have no business to be here." I shook off
Peanut's arm. ZigZag looked hurt and it hurt me to say those things. I fought back the
tears that threatened to fall from my eyes.
"Sammi, please." He begged.
"Leave." I growled. He looked even more hurt.
"Fine." And with that he turned and left. Now that he was gone, I wish he was still there.
"Samm." Peanut whispered.
"I'm fine. I'll meet you guys by the Library in a minute. I need to get dressed." I said,
climbing of my cot. They nodded and left. Once they were gone I threw myself on the
cot and cried into my old pillow. I wished I was back home. I wished I was away from
the camp. Away from ZigZag and the pain I feeling. I only stopped when I felt a hand on
my back. I turned, red-eyed, to see ZigZag sitting on my cot beside me smiling
sympathetically.
"I told you to leave." I choked.
"Sammi, you know I didn't rape anyone. I don't know why you're doing this to us." He
said, hugging me. I felt safe again, happy. And then I woke up.
ZigZag's POV
How could she do that? I didn't think losing her would hurt so bad! My stomach feels so
empty, like it just fell out or something.. How could I have done what I did? I feel so
bad. And angry. So confused. I could kill Cig I'm so mad at her. Peanut and Cig just
walked from the tent. I wonder where Psych is? Oh well.
Psych's POV
It hurts so bad! And even worse, now I have to go out there and face him! Instead of
hanging out with him, cuddling, and kissing, I'll be digging all day and then I'll be alone in
the Wreck room.. I'll have no one! I thought, getting out of bed. Heartbreak Syndrome
sucks! I slowly pulled on my jumper and walked outside. The sky was lighting up and
more people were lined at the Library. Aww, ZigZag is right there.. I wish I could go up
to him as usual. But no. I can't. I won't go through the same pain as before. Even if it
means going through having my heart ripped to shreds!
"Hey Peanut." I say softly. She turned around.
"Hey. You okay?" I take a deep breath.
"Yeah. I'm fine." I say, without emotion. Some guy from Tent A is looking at me, I can
see it out of the corner of my eye. He's kind of cute. Maybe I'll have some flirt time. I
decide, walking over to him. He has short black hair and green eyes. Maybe an inch or
so taller than me.
"Hey." He said, as I walked up to him.
"Hey, what's up?" I smiled.
"Not a thing. What's your name?"
"Psych. Short for Psycho." I smile innocently.
"Why is that?"
"I tried to kill some one." I say casually.
"What a coincidence! So did I." He puts his arm around me and I actually don't mind. It
doesn't feel as right as it did when ZigZag did it, but it's better than being lonely again. I
can tell ZigZag is looking at me. I can feel his eyes on me. I turned my head slightly to
the left and our eyes met each other. He looked hurt and angry and jealous all at the
same time. My heart crumpled in and I felt like dying.
