spongebob sat in the cold harsh jail cell, tears running down his yellow cheeks and quickly absorbing into his spongey face. he couldn't understand how this happened, the moment kept replaying in his mind over and over. he begged for squidward to understand, to forgive him, to see that he still loved him despite what he did with his best friend - despite betraying him. but before he could get the words out his partner was illuminated by headlights and the bus driving through filled the air with a sickening THUD.
