Start.

Nny didn't stop running until he reached the hilltop he had met Devi at for a date. He sighed as he looked out at the bright sky. It contrasted heavily with his current mood so he scowled at it. The only good thing that had come out of today had been 's death. Nny calmed his breathing and sat down to think of his next move. He couldn't go home now because Devi would most likely come back. The thought of hurting her scared him more than anything. And what about Squee? He had to hurry up or his little friend might turn out like himself. Squee's very future was depending on how fast he could become a better role model. A rustling sound came from the bushes behind him. Nny turned to see a small styrofoam figure emerging from the brush. Dough boy did not look happy.

"Moron!"He snapped "Why the fuck didn't you kill her? You were supposed to preserve her beauty."

Nny looked down at the angry Doughboy, expression full of hate.

"Go away before I cut you up too."He hissed "I am not going home."

"You're a danger to them. It would be better if you left."

"I'm the only one who knows how to help Squee."

"Yes. He can move on if you're not there. This will benefit him!"Doughboy insisted.

"No."Nny stood up and began to walk down the hill.

"Where are you going?"Doughboy chased him.

Meanwhile, Squee had wandered into the kitchen. Devi turned to look at the pale boy in concern as he took a seat at the table.

"Would you like some food, Todd?"

"Miss. Devi, when is Nny coming back?"He sounded anxious.

Devi mentally cursed her ex while she gave the boy a comforting smile. She set some soup from the stove in front of him.

"He'll be back soon."

Squee took a slow sip of soup and said nothing. The boy glanced toward the window.

"I talked to him this morning."Devi added in hopes to make him feel better.

Squee nodded but did not smile. She set a hand on his forehead.

"You look sick. Is something bothering you?"

"N-no!"He said a bit too quickly "I...I'm fine."

She frowned and sat across from him with her own soup. At least he was eating something. Squee eternally sighed in relief. He needed Nny back. He would know how to help him. Devi would think he was insane if he told her about his dream. For now, he concentrated on eating his food.
