FORGOTTEN

Day 198

Day 198

I was sitting on the veranda, waiting for Error to return and this for 143 days in a row. My hope was hitting the absolute zero point, but I still couldn't help it but sit there and wait for him.

"Are... ya already waiting for him again?" Ink was getting by, in his hands was a hot cup with milk (a lot of plasters covered his boney fingers) and some tacos on a plate. While he sat next to me, he handed me the cup and set the plate in the middle of us.

"Maybe he's coming today..."

"Uh... Yes, maybe he does..." His voice sounded doubtful and I have to admit, that I felt like this in the moment. I sighed and stretched out my hand for a taco, suddenly my fingers touched something and my head shot around. I could see Ink's face staring at mine, then we both looked down.

Our hands touched and we just stared at our doing a little while, until I did it to grab a taco and jump on my feet.

"I'll... get my phone, okay?! OKAY!" Nervous, I stepped into the house, stumbling halfway through the living room, when I heard someone moan next to me on the sofa. I shoved the taco frightened in my mouth and hurried up to the couch. There laid some sort of black fabric bunch onto the pillows, that was really familiar to me.

"ERROR!" He twitched first, then looked up to me and smiled.

"HeYa, GlItChY~" He growled in a sweet tune, then grabbed me by my cheeks and pulled me into a passionate kiss with him.

"*cough cough*" That was Ink, he stood in the entrance, glaring at Error with an angry expression.

"I-Ink, look whose here!"

"Yes. I saw him. Error, we have to talk. I'm serious. Pibs, go upstairs in ya room." Ink brought some distance between me and Error, pushed me in the direction of the stairs and waited for me to go up. With a confused expression I looked at Error, this one nodded at me and made this 'go' gesture.

"Okay, Ink." With heavy footsteps, I moved up, but instead of going into my room, I just pressed myself against a wall and listened closely. They had started to argue down there and, luckily or unluckily, I could hear almost everything, they said.

"WhAt yA wAnT, SqUiD?"

"You, fucking asshole. Where were you all the time, she waited all day for ya. And now... you finally showed up, what took ya so long?"

"If yOu jUsT wAnT tO bLaMe mE, iNsTeAd oF tAlK, I'lL sToP yA rIgHt tHeRe! I'M NOT HERE tO tAkE PIBS wItH mE, kAy? I'm hErE, bEcAuSe... InK, wE hAvE tO mAkE aNoThEr tRuCe. NiGhTmArE iS sTilL hUnTiNg mE, I cAn'T sTaY hErE fOr LONG. InK, pRoMiSe mE tO ALWAYS PROTECT PIBS, EVEN IF YOU'D DIE FOR HER."

"Why... don't you make it yourself. Not, that I would let you take Pibs with you, but..."

"I'LL END OUR RELATION TODAY. OKAY?! ARE YOU SATISFIED NOW?! I mAdE tHiS dEcIsIoN a fEw dAyS aGo, OKAY?! O-oKaY I sTiLl lOvE hEr, bUt... iF tHiS gOeS oN lIkE tHaT. ShE pRoBaBlY GETS HURT."

"R-really now? You will end it?"

"HOW MANY TIMES SHOULD I AFFIRM IT, UNTIL YOU'LL BELIEVE IT?!" My tears ran down my cheeks, I had pressed my hands on my mouth, to prevent me of screaming out in pain. My soul was clinching together in my chest, making me feel like getting choked and I think my... HP went down a few points.

"Yes, I will." Something in me screamed, that Ink shouldn't accept the demand of Error, but well he did.

"ThAnKs, InK." With shaking legs, I stood up and did it to sneak down, until I stood on the last stair. I had a dizzy sight, but could spot Ink and Error on the couch and I was able to catch their attention. Ink was the first person, who jumped up and rushed up to me, a worried look on his face.
