Spongebob's uber took about twenty minutes to arrive to the block where the complex was. They had to head straight down main street and then turned left on east ninth. On the right there was a large trailer park called 'Horace Mann Park' where all there 'too poor for the suburbs but not poor enough for section 8 housing' people go. On the left was just random houses and business until they ended up seeing the sign saying 'HollyOaks Condominiums'. It was an apartment building the size of one city block and had a total of twenty-four units. Two on top and one below for each building. Very weird and old thought Spongebob. He gripped the pistol tighter.
The uber driver pulled over into the parking lot and let Spongebob out. He waved him off before Spongebob walked a little and scanned the lot for a familiar car.
"These all look the fucking same"
He meandered a little more, looking at each car to see if something looks recognizable but alas, couldn't distinguish one white car from the other.
"And they took in their stuff too."
Spongebob then looked at the windows. Some had lights on, some didn't.
"Well this sucks..."
He walked back over to the spot the uber left him and saw something catch his eye in one of the second story windows. A shadow of a unique shape shown through the living room blinders. It was round and large. Like a space helmet.
"It has to be her" his heart started racing.
Spongebob hopped along up the stairs quietly and turned left to face the apartment door. The was a doormat saying 'GO AWAY!'. It's Squidward alright.
The sponge heard giggling of two familiar voices which re-ignited the fire inside him. He knock on the door but stopped himself. Doubt started seeping in.
"What am I doing? Am I going insane? Maybe I should just go jerk off or-"
Before he could think any further, a light shined upon him and the squeaking of the door followed.
"...SPONGEBOB?!" Squidward shrieked
Spongebob froze. He had a pistol in one hand and a fist in the other. His breath smelled of booze and the xannys were kicking in. There was no backing out now.
Spongebob pointed the pistol to the squids face.
"Shut up and move your faggot ass inside"
Squidward held his arms up and moved back slowly. He darted his eyes to his left in an alarming stare. Spiongebob followed his gaze and met Sandy's eyes. She was standing in the kitchen with her hands against the fridge door. There were two couches and a coffee table in the center, probably from a roommate, a table with chairs tucked into it, an island in the kitchen covered with boxes and knick knacks, and then the kitchen appliances against the wall. There were a few doors on the walls which presumably led to either a room or bathroom but Spongebob couldn't tell. To the left of Spongebob was just the window. The only light inside was the bright lights of the kitchen and the mismatched warm light of the living room. The floor was navy-colored carpet.
Spongebob shut the door behind him and locked it.
"Is anyone else home?"
Squidward shook his head as did Sandy.
"Go stand by her" he motioned his gun to her general direction.
Squidward, without talking, walked over to the stunned squirrel in the kitchen and put his back against the fridge as well. Spongebob looked back at the table and saw the game 'Eels and Escalators' laid out with a couple of red-solo cups nearby.
Spongebob laughed as he picked up and threw the board with its pieces off the table and went to drink from a cup. He swallowed the chemically tasting water and sighed.
"Well aren't you both just a cute couple huh? Board games and tap water! How adorable!" He moved closer pointing the gun right at Squidward.
"What do you want from us? Money?" Sandy piped up.
Spongebob moved the gun to face her to which she froze up.
"I have no use for that. I'm making bank off my game anyways" He lowered the gun a little but kept it ready.
"I want you both to pay for what you did to me"
Squidward shook his head.
"Did to you? DID TO YOU?! WHAT ABOUT ME?!" Squidward shouted.
Spongebob jumped and smacked Squidwards head with the butt of his gun. Sandy took the opportunity to grab a hold of Spongebob's arms and kneed him in the back. Causing him to let go of the gun.
"FUCK!"
Spongebob turned and found a knife on the island and grabbed a hold of it before turning to pierce the leg of Sandy.
"YEEEOW!"
Spongebob dropped the knife, grabbed the gun, and went to move back to aim it at both of them again.
"That was really fucking stupid of both of you"
Sandy crumbled to the floor trying to cover her wound above her knee and Squidward got a hold of the counter to lift himself up. Bleeding out the side of his head.
"You're fucking INSANE, Spongebob!" Sandy retorted.
"You're lucky I didn't aim higher. You'd be bleeding out by now, BITCH"
Spongebob pointed the gun at Squidward again.
"As I was SAYING...I want payback for what you both did to me...especially you Squidward."
This time the cephalopod stayed mute and continued to hold his wound.
"You took my girl away from me. You took my best friend away from me. AND I might be staying in jail cause of you."
Squidward shook his head.
"n-no.."
"What was that?!"
Squidward met the sponge's eyes.
"That's not my fault Spongebob"
Spongebob laughed harder. He inched close enough to wear his hot breath bristled the neck hairs of Squidward, sending a chill through his frail body.
"Then what are you doing sticking your junkie cock in my girl huh?"
"We aren't fuckin' Spongebob" Sandy moaned.
Spongebob turned sharply at the limping squirrel with the devilish grin plastered on his face.
"Oh? Sandy? Not putting out so soon? Well ain't that's somethin'!"
He stood up and walked over to her. Sandy crouched on the floor but looked in his eyes with murder on her mind.
"A little ex-stripping whore like you holding off this long? By Jesus this must be a miracle! Have you found Christ again, Sandy?" He snickered while waving his arms in faux celebration.
"Or are you hiding something?" He went up to her face, staring directly into her pupils.
"What is it? Did you get the clap? herpes? AIDS? You never held off from ME before so..." he turned to look at Squidward.
"There must be something"
Sandy shook her head.
"We're just hanging out, Spongebob...and I'm not 'your girl' anymore! I told you we were done!"
Spongebob giggled and faced her again. This time putting the pistol under her chin.
"Hey maybe so! But that's not the only thing you said to me that day right?"
He looked at Squidward. "You know what this bitch said to me the last time I saw her?"
Squidward just stood there and watched.
"She said if she ever saw me again she'd kill me. Isn't that right?" He faced her again, moving his lips against her bowl head.
Sandy's eyes started watering but she didn't dare react to him.
"Well? Do it. Go on! Kill me!" He poked the pistol harder into her.
"I need to go to a hospital" Sandy finally muttered
"Please..." She looked down at her leg
"Please...just let me go..."
Spongebob stood up and walked over to Squidward.
"Why should I do that? Stop whining!"
Sandy saw an opening and went for it. His back was turned slightly and she spotted the knife from earlier poking out from underneath the fridge. She made her move, grabbing the knife and slicing up on his back.
"OWWWW! BITCH!"
Spongebob tumbled on the ground and rolled all the way to the bedroom door. Squidward and Sandy both made a jump to pin him down.
"GET OFF ME! HMPH!"
"HELP ME!"
Squiward grabbed a hold of one of Spongebob's arms while Sandy tried dodging the aim of his pistol. She clutched the knife close to her chest as Spongebob tried making his way off the ground.
"GET OFF ME!"
Blood was spreading everywhere on the floor from the bodily flailing, painting the the white tiles crimson with each second passing by.
"SQUIDWARD DO SOMETHING!" Sandy tried ducking from the aim more and more. At times she'd try lunging but would cower back when he pointed his weapon.
"STAB HIM SANDY STAB HIM!" Squidward lost his grip and tried attacking his legs causing Spongebob to stumble back on top of Squidward. Sandy took the moment to go and jump on him and aim the blade into something debilitating.
"I'M TRYING! HOLD HIM STILL!"
As she got close she raised the dagger upwards and aimed for the chest. Spongebob managed to get an arm off the floor and pulled the trigger, sending a bullet through Sandy's shoulder followed by sending her body to the tile floor.
BANG!
"SANDY!" Squidward shrieked
Sandy laid on her back clutching her shoulder blade. The blood was spewing everywhere and she felt the adrenaline build. She was trying not to freak out but it was hard doing so when the feeling of your right arm was fading.
"I NEED go to the hospital!" She lifted her head at the two men sprawled on the floor.
"PLEASE call an ambulance!"
Spongebob shook Squidward off and headed to the living room while he squid rushed over to Sandy.
"Oh my god...What do I do? WHAT DO I DO?!" He looked around for some napkins or towels and eventually just took off his shirt to wrap around her wound. Sandy laid still on the floor breathing heavy.
"Call wheeze ambulance"
Squidward walked over to the table and reached for his phone. Spongebob went over and pistol whipped his ass.
"What the fuck do you think you're doing?! You'll just get the cops involved!"
Squidward stopped caring about the gun and went up to the sponge's face.
"WE NEED TO CALL 911 SPONGEBOB! If you have any shred of love for her still you know it's the right thing to DO!"
Spongebob peered back at Sandy and back at the squid. He raised his weapon.
"Not a fucking chance. You go help her"
WHACK
He hit him again.
Squidward grabbed his face before walking over to the kitchen. Blood was spilling over his tentacles and he was feeling doozy. He opened and closed cabinets, drawers, and boxes looking for anyhting of use. He started tearing up.
"Spongebob please I don't have anything!" Spongebob walked over to the island and pointed the pistol again.
"There's no way I'm letting you getting the police involved! THIS IS ON YOU DAMMIT!"
Spongebob hit him again causing him to tumble down to the floor. He started spiting up blood. Sandy, while the boys fought, was slowly dragging her body around the other side and behind the couch and to the door. Her left arm aching in carrying the weight of her defeated body against the now blood stained carpet. Squidward got up and pushed shit off the counter to find aid harder. He saw Sandy crawling away and figured he needed to distract Spongebob. He started pushing more shit off the counter.
"Stop THROWING SHIT SQUIDWARD! YOU ALWAYS FUCK THINGS UP!"
Squidward grabbed a hold of the counter and looked dead in the eyes of kitchen sponge he used to know. Squiddy's forehead vein throbbed in hostility against the man who took away his life. The once annoying little boy from next door became a man who had drugged, robbed, manipulated, lied, hospitalized, maimed, and stole every little good thing he had left in his miserable life. Even after the forgiveness, the charge drops, the loaning, the emotional support, even the moments of friendship...Spongebob took those vulnerabilities and shredded it up in those jagged square teeth of his. There is nothing but spite and greed left in this sponge's soul and Squidward sees that beyond clearly now. He is no longer a person to him.
"Spongebob...I love you..."
Spongebob froze and lowered his weapon a bit.
"What!?"
"I love you Spongebob...I've always been in love with you"
Spongebob furrowed his brows but didn't move. He knew something fishy was up but coudn't figure it out. Squidward moved his eyes to next to the sink where a handle of a hammer poked out. Squidward looked back at Spongebob so he wouldn't get suspicious. Sandy made her way around the couch and headed to to the door. Please don't turn around, Squidward prayed.
"You're so full of bullshit Squidward" Spongebob went to peek over the counter.
"Wait where the hell is Sandy?" He turned around and this gave Squidward enough time to grab a hold of the hammer and swing it against Spongebob's skull.
Spongebob's gun went off but the bullet hit the ceiling and he fell to the floor in agonizing pain.
"AHHHHH FUCKKK!"
Squidward ran around the island and over to Sandy who stopped moving.
"Squi-Squidward?"
He grabbed her torso and started dragging her to the door, hand on the latch.
"It's ok Sandy I got you"
Squidward managed to swing the door open and drag her outside. The sticky humid air met his face as they crossed the threshold into the night. Squidward dropped Sandy on the ground due to the strain on his arms.
"It's ok sandy we're safe now"
He swiveled his head back at the door to close it. However, he saw the end of a pistol aimed at his face three feet away and then the world went black.
