Little Brother Zim : Chapter, 1 (A ZADR STORY)

"Get back here you little derp!"
Zim looked back at Torque and his friends but continued to run. He started running to the park trying to get away from them. He made himself go as fast as his skinny legs would let him go. He felt like he was about to pass out but continued to run. If I can just make it home! He thought. He breathed faster as his feet pounded against the concrete harder. He heard a tiny bell ring at him and he turned to look behind him, only to see Torque and his friends on their bikes pedaling fast and gaining on him.
He turned back towards the road and pushed himself faster. Torque smiled back at his friends and then pedalled up to him his front tire only a few inches away from his feet.
Zim glanced back and realized the danger he was in and he just wanted to scream.
"Please! Just leave me alone!" Zim pleaded.
"Sure Zim, we will, once you stop and take your daily beating like a man!" Torque said. His friends laughed and Zim kept running.
"Zim your such a whoos!" One of his friends teased.
Zim just shook the negative comments off and kept running, I just gotta make it home, I just gotta make it home.. He told himself.
Torque was getting tired of chasing after him so he gave his friends a nod and they smiled and split up. Torque kept chasing after Zim making him go right into his little trap. Zim kept running and breathing harder but stopped to a dead hault as he saw Torque's friends standing there in front of him leaning against their bikes just smiling. Zim turned around and then saw Torque right behind him hopping off of his bike. Zim stood there frozen, he was so scared he could just die.
"You know the trouble you caused me and my friends? Well do you ZIM?!" Torque asked, giving a signal to his friends as the grabbed Zim by the arms so he wouldn't try to run again.
Zim struggled to get out of their grasp as he closed his eyes and shook his head.
"I-I'm sorry!" He said.
"Shut up!" Torque snapped, as he kicked Zim in the stomach making Zim almost collapse but his friends pulled him back up to his feet again tightening their grip on his arms.
"See you have just ruined your chance of staying alive.." Torque said. He shook his head and laughed wickedly. He looked at his friends and his smile dissapeared.
"Throw him on the ground! Were gonna teach this little punk just who he thinks he is!" Torque said.
His friends pushed him down onto the ground and Zim laid there looking at all of them with fear in his eyes.
Torque smiled and then they started to kick him. Zim screamed with pain at every blow and let tears fall down his face. He layed down on the ground and started trying to curl up in a ball to protect himself but it didn't help. He screamed louder and louder in pain and as another blow came another one followed. It seemed as if his whole life was flashing before his eyes, until.. They stopped.
"Hey! Get out of here! Now! Don't make me call the cops!!"
Zim opened one of his eyes and saw them running back to their bikes and getting the heck out of there. And once they were out of sight he felt a hand grab his arm and help him to his feet. Zim's head was spinning for the sudden jerk up but when his vision came to he saw a tall man with black hair in a scythe-like style, he was wearing glasses, and was wearing a suit and tie.
He had his hand son Zim shoulders looking over him.
"Are you ok?" He asked.
Zim just stood there shaking, he was in a daze, he didn't even know if this was really happening or not. So he just stared off into another direction.
The man looked worried and he rubbed Zim hair back.
"It's ok, I'm getting you outta here.." He said.
He put Zim arm over his shoulders so Zim could lean on him as he brought him over to his car. He opened the car door and helped Zim inside and then closed the door.
He ran over to the driver's side quickly and then hopped in taking off down the road..
Zim sat in the seat with his head rocking back and forth like he was reliving the whole thing again or something. He finally closed his eyes and leaned back into the seat, holding his stomach. He felt the car stop suddenly and his eyes flung open. He looked over and saw the man get out and come over to his side to help him out of the car. He put his arm over his shoulder again and then brought him inside his house making him sit down on the couch.
"You just try to relax, I'm gonna get some bandages.."
The man ran off and dissapeared into another room. Zim sunk into the couch and sighed with relief, he didn't know where he was or what had just happened but he didn't care. It felt good to just relax and catch his breathe.
The man hurried back into the room and had a handful of bandages in his arms.
Zim looked at the man and watched him as the man wrapped the bandages around one of his arms that had been bruised and cut badly by the violent kicking that had just went on. Zim didn't move but flinched as the man tightened it slightly.
He looked up at Zim and smiled, "So, you ok?"
Zim didn't say anything just nodded.
"Well my name is Dib, do you have a name?" He asked.
Zim smiled weakly, "Zim.."
Dib smiled and started to wrap a bandage around one of his legs.
"So Zim huh?" He smiled, "So why were those kids hurting you Zim? Did you do something to them?"
"No, they're just some bullies from school. I'm suppose to get my daily pounding everyday behind the dumpsters but today I got scared and tried to run home but they caught me before I could.." He said.
Dib finished wrapping Zim up and looked at him sternly.
"Would you mind giving me the names of these boys?" He asked.
Zim looked away and bit his bottom lip. "They'll hurt me if I squeal.." He said.
"Zim, I'm not going to let anyone touch you, understand? I'm actually trying to help you.. I'm going to be a new science teacher at your school anyways and I want to help you.." He said.
Zim looked away and then back at Dib. "Well his name is Torque.. I don't know his friends names though.."
Dib nodded, "So how long have they been doing this to you Zim?"
"Ever since elementary school.. I don't know why he hates me.. He just does, and he has picked on me ever since then.."
"Ok.. Zim do you know anyone I can call to come and get you?" He asked.
Zim nodded, "Yes, you can call my agent from the adoption agency.. Her names Maria, I'll dial the number if you would like.."
"Agent?"
"Yea, I was abandoned when I was younger and Maria worked at the adoption agency, she's been trying to find foster parents for me but no one wants a stupid little 15 year old with a skin condition.." He said.
"You are not stupid Zim, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.. Now just tell me her number and I'll call her.." He said, getting up and grabbing a home phone from off the table.
Zim paused for a moment and told him, "456-777-8910.."
Dib punched the numbers into the phone and then walked off into another room.
Zim sat there and waited for Dib to finish the phone call. He didn't care anymore, he just wanted to go home! he wanted to go back to the agency and be with Maria and talk to Nicki again... Nicki had been abused and abandoned as well and was sent to Maria and Zim just a year ago.. Zim didn't mind her though, I mean she was so nice and she acted like a little sister to him. She was only one year younger than him and they went to the same school, in fact she was Zim's only friend. And she didn't care if everyone hated him and she didn't care if he had a weird skin condition either, she just liked making him happy. And that's what Zim wanted, He wanted to be with her so she could make him laugh and smile and forget about this whole stupid, messed up day!
Zim snapped out of his thoughts when Dib walked back into the room and put the phone down.
He turned to Zim and smiled, "She said she's on her way.."
Zim smiled and nodded.
"Would you like a drink? Like soda or maybe water?"
"Soda is fine, thankyou.." He said.
Dib smiled and then walked into the kitchen and then came back with a nice cold soda and handed it to Zim and sat down.
Zim took a sip and then looked at Dib and smiled, "Thankyou.."
"No problem.."
"Maria doesn't let me and Nicki have soda.. It costs too much, and she says we don't need it.." Zim said.
Dib smiled, "Well maybe we don't have to tell her huh?" Dib said, smiling.
It got quiet for a minute as Zim took a few more sips of soda.
"So Zim, have you heard of the big brother-little brother program at school?" Dib asked.
"No, what is it?"
"Well it's a program where guys can sign up and they get assigned a little brother that's been through some tough times to kind of have fun and take care of each other.. I'm actually thinking about signing up and I was wondering if you would like to as well.." Dib said.
Zim shook his head without hesitation.
"Other kids don't like me.." He said.
Dib smiled sadly and nodded, "I understand.."
The doorbell rang as soon as Dib had finished his sentence and he smiled. "I think that must be for you.."
He got up and walked over to the door and answered it. Zim stood carefully and started walking over to the door slowly until Maria ran in and attacked him in a hug. She started kissing him on the cheek and Zim rolled his eyes in embarrassment as Dib stood there watching the whole scene..
"Oh, Zim! oh gracias a Dios! I am so happy to see you, are you ok? those ninos did not hurt you too badly did they?" She asked as she started checking him up and down.
"Yes, Maria I'm fine, ok?" Zim said.
"Oh, my poor baby! Quick let us go to home and I will fix you the best cena you've ever had! I'll fix you anything you would like.." She said standing up and rubbing his back.
"Ok.." Zim said shyly.
"Now go get in the car, Nicki is in there waiting for you.." She said.
Zim nodded politely and then ran out the front door to the car and hopped in the back seat next to Nicki.
Maria looked back at Dib and smiled warmly, "Gracias! Sir.. for helping my Zim in time of need!"
"Your welcome.. And Zim's a good kid."
"Gracias, I will go now.. Thankyou, once again! goodbye!" She walked out of Dib's house and went back to the car. Zim smiled and waved as the car pulled away, thank god he was going home..
