Chapter 11

*AN!* There will be no new chapter tomorrow cuz I'm sleeping round a friend's house and can't bring the laptop! Sorry! Also, please review! I live for my reviews! Even if they're bad I don't mind. Please?

Dib suddenly stumbled into the living room, practically tripping over his own feet. He seemed in a sort of daze, but stayed silent all the way to his room. Meh, probably depressed again, no biggie. He often got small bouts of depression, but it was nothing serious. He might cut himself once or twice, but apart from that he'd be ok.

I sighed and turned the page of the book I was reading. It was called Love, Hate, Revenge and so far it was pretty good. I read a few more pages before the phone rang, making me jump. I left it for a while, but after the caller had tried to ring me five times, I realized he wasn't going to give up, so I begrudgingly answered it.

"What?" I shouted into the phone, annoyed.

"Gaz? That you? It's Zim." he spoke on the other end of the line. My voice suddenly sweetened.

"Oh hi Zim! How are you?" I spoke, my voice sickly-sweet.

"Pissed off at your brother, but apart from that fine. Listen, I need to tell you something."

"Yeah? What is it?" He drew a sharp intake of breath.

"Gaz... I'm breaking up with you."

My heart stopped, then shattered into a million pieces. He... he's breaking up with me? Why?

"Why..." I whispered, barely audible.

"Because I don't love you. I'll be honest, I never did. I just couldn't say no! I mean, you're a great girl and everything, but, aside from everything else, we could've been put to death! It's illegal for both of us to be in a relationship with an alien. Irken and human laws both say so, right? We can still stay friends, I promise. I just don't have time for a relationship right now. I'm sorry. Don't hate me, please." he said, before cutting the call. The dial tone rang in my ear. I held the phone in my hands, staring at it. Zim... I love you! Tears were streaming down my face, and I wiped them away furiously. I NEVER cried!

I trudged up to my room and stared at the drawings and photos of Zim on my desk. In my rage, I tore them up into tiny pieces and burned them in my wastepaper bin. I flung myself onto my bed, still crying. No wonder Zim left me... I'm so pathetic. He'd never want me. I'm just a stupid little goth girl that no-one likes. I didn't even feel like living any more. What reasons did I have to live? Without really thinking, I walked slowly downstairs into the kitchen, and grabbed a knife out of the drawer. I took in a deep breath, then plunged it through my stomach. Pain and relief washed over my simultaniously. I felt blood pooling around my feet but I didn't care. I was happy now that this nightmare would end. I collapsed onto the floor a few seconds later, still grinning like a maniac. Am I good enough for you now, Zim...?

(DPOV)

Zim HATES me! It's not my fault though... It's not my fault it was my first time! It's not my fault he didn't come! It's not my fault... Why did this shit always happen to me? Why did I always get the bum end of things? Why couldn't I get something right for once? I just want to be normal... To be happy... I ran downstairs to the phone. I wanted to apologize, surely that would make me feel better. I dialed Zim's number and waited. Ring ring... Ring ring... Ring ri-

"Hello? Gaz?" Zim asked.

"No, it's Dib. Look Zim, I just wanted to apologize for what I did. I promise it'll never happen again! I just couldn't help myself, and after all it was my first time an-"

"Shut up Dib! Don't make excuses. I cannot forgive you right now, I'm pissed off, sexually frustrated and possibly murderous, considering I just nearly broke a wall down with my bare fist. Now if you don't mind I'm off to go punch someone. Later."

That jerk! I just rang to apologize and he just brushes me off! Argh! Why can't he just be NICE for once? Frustrated, I went into the kitchen to get a drink. Vodka would be good right now. I went over to the cupboard, but my foot hit something on the floor. Cursing, I looked down and saw...

"GAZ? Jesus Christ, what's happened? Oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck fuck FUCK!" I screamed, picking Gaz up. She need to get to the hospital, fast! I lay her down on the couch and dialled 999.

"Hello, emergency services. How can I help?" A woman said on the other end of the line.

"Hi can you send an ambulance please? My sister is unconcious and bleeding really bad. The address is 12 Black Street, Big Town, BT14 6YG." I reeled off quickly.

"Of course, we'll be there as soon as we can."

"Thanks." I said before hanging up. Now I just had to wait.

About 2 minutes later the ambulane came and they took me and Gaz to the hospital. I stayed with her the whole time she was being checked out, and when she had her stitches done. When they put her into a bed for the night, the nurse asked if I wanted to stay the night. I agreed, telling myself I'd go back tomorrow to get my stuff.

"Night Gaz." I whispered and kissed her forehead gently, then settled down to sleep myself.

I paced back and forth. Something just didn't seem right. I couldn't tell what it was, so I decided to look at the spy cam I had put in Dib's base recently. Nothing! Every room was empty. Where were they? It was rare for them both to leave. Suddenly by the sick feeling in my stomach I could tell what was wrong. Cursing in Irken, I got into my Voot Cruiser and flew over to the the "hospital". It was dark but the front door were open, so I went in and asked the person at the front desk if there was anyone with the surname Membrane in any of the wards.

" Yup, Gaz Membrane. She was admitted earlier. But it's way past visiting hours. If you're direct family, then you're welcome to stay the night, though."

"I'm her brother. Can you take me to her?" I lied. She looked at me strangely, but then shrugged and took me to her. She dragged a camp bed into the room and told me to make myself at home. I thanked her through gritted teeth. It wasn't like me to be polite, especially not to lower species, but I couldn't risk being told to leave. I unfolded the bed, and lied down on it. Hard as stone. I sighed, sat up, and looked around the room. I saw Gaz sleeping peacefully with all sorts of tubes in her, and on the floor beside her was...

"Dib?" I whispered. How could I stay in the same room as HIM? But I didn't really have a choice. Sighing heavily, I lied back down in the bed and tried to get some sleep. Tomorrow was going to be a LONG day.
