I wrote these last 3 chapters back to back, but I've been saving them. Hope you like this one.

Disclaimer- I don't own anything about Holes.


Zero sat on his cot, holding his head. Diana sat next to him and checked to see how bad he was hurt. He had a bruise right near his left eye.

'How could someone do this?' She was beside herself.

Caveman sat across from them on his cot. 'Well, he's here because he beat someone up.'

'You would think he'd learn.' Diana shook her head. Peter walked over and placed his hand on her shoulder.

'It's okay.'

'No it's not.' Diana was near yelling with mixed feelings. Caveman and Peter looked at each other. They knew why she was upset.

'I'm sorry that Squid didn't help.' Caveman said in a near whisper.

Diana tried to fight the tears, but they came anyway. 'He's such a jerk.' Zero rubbed her shoulder. 'He's my boyfriend. He's supposed to protect me.' She was angry with Squid, yet she still loved him.

Caveman stood up. 'He can't do that.' He stormed out of the tent. The last thing she heard was him saying, 'He'll pay for it.' Diana knew what he was going to do.

'Stay here with Zero.' She said, following Caveman. She followed him to the wreck room. When she got there, Caveman had just shoved Squid into the pool table.

'What's your problem?' He yelled, 'You call yourself her boyfriend and you can't stand up for her?'

Squid shoved Caveman. 'It's none of your business.' Diana ran up and pushed the two of them apart.

'Would you to stop it!' She looked at Caveman. 'It's okay.' He stood back.

Diana looked a Squid. She could see the guiltiness in his eyes. 'I don't understand, why didn't you do something?'

Squid reached for her hand, but she pulled back. 'Listen, I'm sorry okay.'

'That's not going to do anything, Squid.' Diana shook her head.

Squid licked his lips, 'I didn't want to embarrass myself, okay.' This broke Diana heart.

'I can't believe you.'

Caveman pushed past her and shoved Squid violently. 'You don't deserve her!' He yelled.

Squid lunged and swung at Caveman. At the same time, Diana jumped between them trying to stop the fight. She didn't want her best friend and her boyfriend to hate each other.

Instead of hitting Caveman. Squid's fist smacked Diana right in the jaw. She fell to the ground. Caveman knelt beside her. When she moved her hand away, everyone saw a huge, bloody cut on her cheek.

'Diana, I…' Squid tried to apoligize and help Diana up. She pushed him away and got to her feet. She balled her hand in a fist a hit Squid right in the nose, causing it to bleed.

'What's going on in here?' Pendanski and Mr. Sir had just walked in. One of the younger boys ran and got them when the fight between Squid and Caveman started. They walked in to see Squid on the floor, holding his nose and Diana standing there, crying with blood running down her cheek.

'It's over!' Diana yelled, hurt that Squid could do something like that. She held her cheek, which throbbed when she opened her mouth.

She ran, pushing past Mr. Sir and Pendanski, and headed towards the tent.

Caveman shook his head and ran after Diana, leaving Squid on the floor.


URGENT- I hope that you can understand why Diana broke up with Squid.

Sorry this chapter was short and everything.
