~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Chapter 14 I Love You

 "Pendanski did this to you?!" Squid yelled.

 "Now, don't jump to conclusions." Replied the Warden. "What happened?"

 "He. . . shoved. . . me. . . into. . . truck." She gasped.

 "Are you sure?" The Warden asked.

 Misty nodded her head weakly.

 "I'll deal with this." The Warden said walking out of the tent.

 "Misty, are you gonna be okay?" Asked Zero.

 "I think so." She said using Squid's arm to pull herself into a sitting position.

 Zero figured they wanted to be alone so he left the tent.

 "So what happened?" Asked Squid stroking her hand with his fingers.

 She explained everything from beginning to end.

 "Damn. I always knew Pendanski was insane, but I never thought he'd hurt someone." Squid uttered quietly.

 "With my luck he'll tell the Warden a complete lie that will get me in trouble." Misty sighed laying her head on Squid's shoulder.

 "Misty."

 "Yes, Alan."

 Squid chuckled at her using his real name. "I love you."

 "I love you, too." She replied looking deep in his brown eyes.

 Then Zero came in the tent and lay down. A short while later he was asleep. Misty sat in Squid's arms and realized Zero was shivering in his sleep.

 She got her blanket off her cot and put it on top of him.

 "Goodnight Zero." She said walking back to Squid's cot. She sat down next to him. "You know Alan, I feel safe with you. After Matt I thought I'd never trust a guy again. But now I know that he won't find me."

 "As long as you're with me Matt won't lay a hand on you."

 Misty smiled. She knew he was telling the truth. "It's awfully cold."

 She lay down next to him. Squid held her close under his blanket. In that moment Misty knew she really did love him.

 Sorry so it's mushy! I couldn't think of anything else to write.

Review or Squid will poke you with his toothpick!

Squid: Why me?

Monkey: Because, do you see anyone else with a toothpick?

Squid: No. *Takes toothpick and throws it*

Monkey: *Puts another toothpick in his mouth*
