"If it's not worth it, than why did you do it?" i asked sternly, readying my bat. i was willing to protect zim at any cost."because...because...i can't let him...fool...you." he stammered, blushing a bit.
I dropped the bat. did he mean he LIKED me? i stepped backward until i got to Zim."what do you meen?" i asked, stammering."i...i...l...l..."was all he sinabi before he fell over. i realized just how much blood he had lost: a lot. Zim's eyes widened as he watched Dib fall down to the hard asphalt road.i dropped onto my knees and realized i was crying."he was gonna say..." Zim trailed off."did he mean...?" i asked, trailing off as well.a tear ran down my cheek."What have i done, zim?" i cried in a whisper.He didn't answer for a while. then finally he got up, a bit shaky.he helped me up as i wiped my tears, which were being replaced sa pamamagitan ng others quickly. "You've saved me at a great cost." he replied sadly.i tucked my head into his shoulder as i cried madami tear than i thought passable."he's gone, and its all my fault! is shouldn't have hit him so hard!" i wept uncontrollably.
"no. it's not your fault." Zim comforted me."you didn't know your own strength. you were just trying to protect a friend."i found comfort in his words, and sniffled as i lifted my head to see Dib one last time.i griped Zims' arm tightly as the tears came back."I'm...a murderer." i stammered as i looked down at Dibs motionless body."no. a murderer kills intentionally.you didn't meen it." he corrected me, giving me a sad hug."what are we going to tell gaz?" i asked in despair."I'm not sure." he confessed.
We walked to skool with Our heads low and our Beaters sunk down to the very bottom.i walked to my mesa with my hair over my face and my mouth quivering."Ms.Bitters, i have to tell the class something.something important." Zim told Ms.Bitters sadly."Class, Zim has something to say to you. so listen up." she ordered. i sank into my chair and hugged my legs, trying to be invisible."I am afraid that our poor friend, Dib, also known as the SciFi Freak, has been found dead on the street. evidence shows that it was a gang with a baseball bat."he half lied to the class. Ms.Bitters had a shocked expression on her face, as did the whole class. i think i saw a tear leave Gaz's eye. "this is very bad news indeed, zim. thank you for sharing." Ms.Bitters grieved."please take your seat.""yes ma'am." he replied sadly.She must have seen me grieving over the loss, because i was the one that she comforted most along with Gaz.Me, Gaz, and Ms.Bitters became mga kaibigan during our grieving and decided to comfort one another. especially Gaz.she was already weeping sa pamamagitan ng lunch time. i invited her to sit with me and Zim for the day, and she excepted.
"Are you sure you didn't do it, Zim? after all he WAS your enemy. I could feel Dib's soul looking down on me, waiting to spill it. i couldn't keep it any longer. Zim could only watch as i spilled the entire thing onto the mood of the room."I DID IT!" i wept."DIB WAS TRYING TO GET ZIM AND I HIT HIM WITH A BASEBALL BAT REALLY HARD! I'M SORRY! I DIDN'T MEAN TO DO IT!" tears ran down my cheeks as i screamed the story. The handcuffs, the baseball bat, Zim watching in horror, the blood, everything. Gaz's eyes were open. they weren't angry, but full of grief.She was weeping on the inside and doing her best to understand. I slammed my head down onto the mesa and cried until i couldn't cry anymore. then i started to cry blood.zim had to lift my head so that i would stop."i understand." Gaz told me softly but sadly."I didn't meen to..." i trailed off."he liked you, but i guess he never told..." She began but never finished.
We had a funeral for him after Skool.Gaz wore a beautiful dark grey toga as she watched the casket sink into the ground. she had brought mga rosas to lay susunod to the headstone.Me and Zim walked her tahanan as she blew on a tissue,and then we went to our bases.
"Is Zim with you?" cupcake asked me enthusiastically."no." i wept as i climbed the stairs to my room. i laid my head on the unan and cried myself to sleep, listening to the CD player. the song was "Gone Forever" sa pamamagitan ng three days grace."I'm sorry Dib."i whispered just before i fell asleep.
