*Val POV*
After we make Saracen and Dexter swear not to tell anyone, they happily go home. Kenspeckle said I should stay here tonight so he could run some more tests. Me and skulduggery were laying together on the hard bed together, in the dark. "I need to pee..." I mumble. He chuckles, picking me up softly, and placing me on my feet. I grumble making my way to the bathroom. Once I'm done, I look in the mirror. I looked pale and sick, mostly tired. I sighed as I inspected my face. Why does he love someone like me? I feel hands slip around me from behind. "I can tell what your thinking, Valkyrie. I love you with all my heart. To me, oh are the most beautiful, smart, intelligent, funny, sarcastic and amazing girl in the whole world. You are my life. Your my everything. Don't ever doubt that" he stated, with a serious edge in his voice. I leant back against him, in tears. He turned me around, kissing my forehead (as much as a skeleton can). "Come on, let's have a shower missy!" He sighed. I could tell he was tired. "Your tired. Go to sleep!" I mumbled, rubbing my eyes. He shook his head. "Val, I don't get tired!" He laughed. I shook my head. "Your tired. Mentally." I stated. He paused. "It's not important-" "Yes it is Skul! Please, get some sleep!" I begged. He sighed, nodding. "Once you've had your shower." He stated. I nodded as I undressed. He left to give me some privacy. Once I let the warm water rush over me, I felt alive again. God, he's so selfless! I love him so much. I learn against the cold tile wall, relaxing. I felt my stomach tighten, and threw up all the contents of my stomach. I heard Skul rush in, hopping in the shower to help, not caring that he was getting soaked. "Val! Come here, let's get you fried off" he murmured, taking me out of the shower and wrapping me in a warm fuzzy towel. "I'm sorry..." I mumbled, angry at myself for being so annoying. "For what? What's there to be sorry about?" Skulduggery asked, flabbergasted. "I'm probably really annoying you...." I muttered, turning away. Suddenly, Skul got angry. "Your not annoying me valkyrie! Why can't you see I'd do anything for you?! That I love you!?" He cried, storming out of the room. I fell the floor, in shock. Why am I so selfish! I cried, as I huddled ini the corner, in just a towel.
