Chapter 2 - Two Years Later
A.N. I'm switching to first person.. easier to write.
"What?" I asked, shocked.
"I'm breaking up with you. I'm sorry." Liam spoke with a detatched voice, as if he didn't care that he was breaking up with his 2 year girlfriend.
"No!" I shouted, the first tear slipping its way down my cheek.
"We need to see other people. We've been dating since Halloween eighth grade."
"So?" I cried, loudly. Zim looked up from his cell phone, in the middle of transmitting to Gir, I guessed. Liam and I shared a moment of awkwardness, in which the only noise was my sobbing, and he left to catch his bus. I knew I was going to miss mine, but I didn't care anymore. I leaned against the wall and slowly slid into a sitting position, sobbing hysterically.
I heard footsteps amid my crying and looked up, surprised as they halted in front of me.
"Xena? Are you ok?" Zim asked, sitting down next to me. I laughed, sounding like a maniac.
"No, I'm not."
"Hey." He touched my arm. "It's going to be ok." I looked down at him, and smiled thinly.
"Iguess." I admitted grudgingly. He put a consoling arm around me.
"I've always wanted to ask you something, and now we're alone... so I guess I will." He said hesitantly.
"Ask away."
"Well... you know I'm an Irken... and alien. Why do you never back Kris up when she tries to tell everyone? I mean, everyone else thinks I'm just a freak who's obsessed with a television show that some man who was abducted by Irkens created."
"Jhonen was abducted?" I asked, genuinely interested.
"Answer the question."
"Because people would believe me, and I like you. I don't want to see your autopsy." I teased.
"And then... I'm trying to enslave your planet. Why don't you hate me?" He asked.
"Well... you haven't destroyed it yet." I said, teasing him.
"Good point. But I will. I have a plan." He said simply. I looked over at him, a grin playing on my face. Kris had never understood why I'd liked Zim, whereas she'd hated him, sticking with the human race. I didn't really understand it myself. Something about him facinated me. He stood up.
"Want me to walk you home?" He asked. I stood up, and nodded, wiping the stale tears from my cheeks. He walked me out of the school and he followed me, finally catching up to me a few feet later.
"Tell me Zim," I began, "Why do you want to take over our world?" He laughed.
"It's my job." He said. I looked down at him and he smiled. We walked in silence for a few minutes.
"Hey this is my house, wanna come in?" Zim asked. "You can meet Gir!" He said slyly. I just smiled sadly and followed him in. A little dog tackled me to the ground as soon as I entered the door. He looked at me, and removed his costume in a little flip. He was adorable! He hugged me, his little blue eyes bright with glee.
"Hug!" He screamed. Then he stopped for a second, then yelled
"TAQUITO!!!" and ran for the kitchen, where the smell of burnt mexican food was emanating.
"Yep... that's Gir." Zim said. I grinned at him.
"I'm gonna call my mom. I'll be right back." I headed outside, ignoring the lawn gnomes- it was funny, it's like he had known about Invader Zim before coming, his house was exactly the same.
"Mom?" I asked when someone picked up.
"Where are you!?"
"I missed the bus. I'm at Zim's house."
"The little green boy?"
"Yep. I'm heading home in a little bit."
"Very well."
I hung up on her and headed back inside.
"I have to go." I confessed. Zim stood up hastily from his seat on the couch and tripped.
"Can Gir and I come?" he asked. I smiled and nodded.
"Hey I was wondering..." he said as we began walking, "Can you watch Gir for a couple of days? I'm trying to work and he is... distracting." He grimaced at Gir, who was running ahead of us on all fours impersonating a squirrel.
"Sure.." I said, unsure.
"He eats a lot."
"How am I going to explain to my mother that he doesn't eat dog food?" I asked him.
"Oh, he will though. Gir eats anything." I looked at the little dog who was eating poop and believed it. We stopped at my house and I grabbed Gir's leash from Zim.
"You're really helping me you know." He said. I raised an eyebrow.
"I don't know if that is a good thing." I said, and he laughed.
"Well... bye." He said, and grabbed my hand for a second before turning around and heading back to his house. I turned towards mine and prepared to tell my mom that I was hosting a friend's dog. I turned back to look at Zim. A good friend's.
"What?" I asked, shocked.
"I'm breaking up with you. I'm sorry." Liam spoke with a detatched voice, as if he didn't care that he was breaking up with his 2 year girlfriend.
