Squid was there. It was like I was two inches tall and he was glowering over me.

The weird part was that he didn't look really angry. Not angry nor furious as Hector told me. He looked at me like he was disappointed, like how a parent looks at their child when they've done something bad. He just gazed at me sternly. I bow my head, not being able to look him in the eye.

"Squid, I-"

"Shut it."

I closed my mouth.

"Look at me."

"..." I stared at his boots, afraid.

"I said look at me." He grabbed my chin with his finger and forced me to look at him.

I now saw the anger building up inside him. His eyes looked blank and lifeless While his teeth were clenched.

"S-squid, I-"

"I said shut it." He forced my mouth closed with his lips. My mind was blank and my hands shaking. His tongue found its way into my mouth. Squid was kissing me but...I didn't like it. I hated it. His actions was rough and scary, this isn't like him. He's not one to be rough with me this way.

I try and push him away but he tightens his hold on my arms.

"MmStop...mphsquid..mpphstopit...!" I push him away with all my might. He backs up a few feet away from me.

Im horrified. My hands tremble and tears brimming my eyes.

"Isn't this what you wanted?!" He yells at me.

I flinch at every word. I stare at him in shock.

"...no..."

"well, it sure looked like it with your little seductive dance!"

"..." I look at his boots once more.

"You know, if you thought it was worse before, it's gonna be a shit storm now!" He says, growling.

"...I"m sorry..."

He looks at me and glares at the ground, sighing.

"Babygirl, you're not making it easier for me. I'll tell Rex to look after you, no one will bother you if-"

My head snaps up. "No."

"It's not your call."

"No, I don't wanna be looked after by Rex or by ZigZag or by even Zero, youre supposed to look after me, you big meanie!"

His eyebrow arches, a bewildered expression was plastered on his face. "What...did you just call me?"

"I said MEANIE! Youre a m-mean boy!" I'm looking down at my feet, anger building up.

"I'm not a meanie, you little brat." He turns around and starts heading out.

"Squid!" I shout at his back.

He turns back at me.

Everything just clicked. Everything. When I was a little girl, those bullies, that boy with got in a fight to save me, the mean kid at the park who I gave my sandwich to, everything. They were all the same person. The same boy. The same boy who is standing right. in. front. of. me...

I glare at him. "You don't get to decide things for me! I'm a person, not a THING you can just get rid of when you're bored or when you can't handle things!"

He stares at me bluntly, unconvinced.

He startes to laugh.

"What?"

Squid's clutching his stomach, bent over from laughing too hard, his face red.

"What the hell...?"

He breathes in and put deeply, trying to control his breath.

"Damn, Babygirl. Hehehe...you've got some balls on you...hehe..." He starts laughing again.

Getting annoyed, I roll my eyes. "Get your shit together, man..." I mumble to myself.

He sucks in a deep breath. "Ahh...I haven't laughed that hard in a looooong time."

My breath stops in my throat. He smiles at me, happy. I raise my eyebrow, dumbfounded.

"Come on, let's go."

He pulls me by the arm out of the D-tent.

"Where are we going?"

"What do you mean 'where are we going"? Are you this dense? We're getting food, I'm hungry."

We approach the wreck room.

"W-wait! What about-?"

"Lump? Nah, don't worry 'bout that son of a bitch."

"But-!"

He stops, stands in front of me, and looks me in the eye. "Hey, I said don't worry 'bout it." He says like calmly and his eyes look comforting.

"O-okay...But you're still a mean guy most of the time."

He chuckles. He puts his arm around my shoulder and starts heading to the wreck room door.

"Hey!"

He scoffs. "God Damnit, Babygirl, you haven't changed a bit..." He mumbles.

I glare at him.

"Well, you're as forceful as ever..."

His head snaps at me, wide-eyed. I avert my gaze.

I can hear him sighing. Out of the corner of my eye, I see a toothy grin with that damn toothpick still in his mouth.

He practically kicks the door open with his foot, which catches the attention of everyone in the wreck room. I see Lump wearing a hair net holding a ladle, serving some brown soup to people. He glares at me.

"LISTEN UP, YOU ASSHOLES!" Squid bellows out into the room, making me nervous.

"THIS GIRL IS MY PROPERTY! NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO TOUCH HER!"

Hold the fuck up. what?

I give him a blank stare. My mind is empty.

"SHE'S MINE! IF ANYONE SO MUCH AS APPROACHES HER WHEN IM NOT THERE, YOU WONT SEE THE SUN RISE THE NEXT DAY. DO I MAKE MYSELF FUCKING CLEAR?!"

Everyone just stares at him, either shocked or scared. Squid is known fro being the most toughest person at CGL.

"Good. Carry on." He steers me in the direction of the other guys, their smiles spreading across their faces. They smile but it's like they're smiling with their eyes as well.

I sit down next to Hector, Squid sits next to me.

It's all silent at the table. No one talked. You could practically cut the tension with a knife. ZigZag broke the silence.

"So, you just get 'comfortable' already?"

I look at him in surprise. Squid clears his throat.

"There a problem, Zig?"

"No, no. No problem. I was just wondering if you guys are sharing cots now, that's all." He laughs, as well as everyone else of D-tent, except Hector.

I stare at him in disgust. Squid, though, stands up, walks around the table, and towers over ZigZag. ZigZag stands up, standing eye-to-eye with Squid.

"What are you gonna do Squid?" Zigzag provokes him, daring him to punch him.

Squid grabs ZigZag by the collar.

"What did you say?" Squid says through his clenched teeth, he says those words like venom.

"Nothin'. nothin' at all, Squid."

Squid lets him go, walks back around, and sits next to me.

I put my hands in my lap and look at my feet.

Squid clamps his hand over my hand. His whispers in my ear "I got your back. Don't worry."

I give him a wry smile.

X-Ray pipes up with enthusiasm. "Now that that's done with, let's go get food."

Everyone gets up at once and starts to head over to the line of people for food.

Oh my fucking God...Did he just become my friend...?

YAY! IM BACK! YES!

IMPORTANT MESSAGE PLEASE READ!

So, a couple of weeks ago, I got a review saying that they have been reading my content ever since I started writing and that they love my stories. They review was more in depth but its my precious review so I'm telling you only so much. I was currently in a state of depression over some personal issues. A very close friend of mine died and everyone was depressed. I cried every single day for a week until I ran out of tears to cry out. I didn't want to do or be anything anymore. but reading that made me feel very happy inside and out. I read that review every single day. I cannot express how content I was reading that. SO i just want to wish that person happiness and I want to say thank you to all of you. You guys are everything.

Again, to that person who sent me that review, you changed my way of thinking and basically put hope in me again. That this story matters and that I have some significance. You're probably reading this going "all i did was write a review...I didn't mean to do all that."

Well, you did. SO thank you very much. Guess it's true when they say one person can make a difference.

As for how long this story is going, I don't know. I'm still going to keep writing it, but I don't know, one day I just might end it on a cliffhanger and start another story as a sequel.

WE SHOULD JUST LET NATURAL SELECTION RUN ITS COURSE!

Remember to review, favorite, and follow! please review! YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

HOPE YOU ALL LIKED THIS CHAPPIE!

Dana out~~~
