Dave x Reader x ️Karkat

Chapter 3

(Next day at school)
It was free time again. You had survived today, avoiding her.
You was sitting, this time, messing around on your phone. A boot hit your hand, causing you to drop your phone. As you went to pick it up, a foot smashed it. It was her again.
"Oh, I'm sorry, useless," she smiled a too-white smile.
I looked at the shattered pieces.
"Y..y.."
"Aw, baby's gonna cry? Not gonna do anything like the useless piece of crap she is?"
She kicked you over. Gosh, those heels hurt! She kicked again. And again. Soon the kicks melted together and then altogether stopped, your side throbbing. You laid there, hiding your face in your hood, your hand resting on the shattered glass of your phone.
No one stopped to ask a question. Not one person.
**DAVE'S POV (for like a small bit)**
I have been waiting by the entrance/exit of school for (Y/N) for what seems like decades, but it's been 15 minutes. I went to her locker. My eyes widened.
**YOUR POV**
You didn't notice Dave. It didn't matter anymore. Nothing mattered. You didn't know that you were crying, but you were.
"(Y/N)?" That broke you out of it. Dave's voice. Something was upsetting him.. You..?
"Dave..," you muttered, and just kept staring at the floor. You could still feel the kicks to your head, side, and back. You felt your nose bleeding.
You felt weak and had to admit it.
He turned his phone on and texted ️Someone.
"Let's get you home..," he picked you up. You didn't care. He walked you down the street, to the apartments. You could feel your conscience begin to fade.
**DAVE'S POV**
I knew she kept her key in her backpack. I took it out, and opened the door. I set her on her bed. God, (Y/N) is so cute. I wish I could know what was happening with her. I set the key down on the bedside table and left. As I shut the door, I had a realization. Do I like (Y/N)?
**YOUR POV**
You could feel Dave set you down, see him set you down, know that he set you down, but you couldn't move. Couldn't say "Thanks, bro!" And smile. You fell asleep, knowing that you felt terrible.
**
You woke up and realized that it was Saturday.
School started on a Thursday here. Yesterday was Friday. Finally.. A day off. You already hated school. Suddenly your laptop dinged. You went over. Someone started pestering you. She or he was unfamiliar.
GA began pestering CH at 9:00.
GA: Hey, useless ;;;;)
-
You felt your stomach get sick. SHE got your pesterchum?!
-
CH: how'd you get my pesterchum..?
GA: Oh, I don't know. May8e it was someone you know. Like, oh, a little Jake? >;;;;D
-
Jake was supposed to be a friend and he did this?!
-
CH: Liar! Don't lie to me!!
GA: oh you've made me mad now!! I'll 8e on the hunt for you and make your life suck!!
CH ceased pestering GA at 9:10.
-
You could feel the tears. "I'll be on the hunt for you," rang in your brain ominously. You dragged the knife on your skin again. You couldn't take it. At 9:30 a knock was heard at the door. You put the knife and towel away, behind the fridge, and put a hoodie on.
"Yes?" You opened the door, warily.
"Hi, (Y/N)," it was ️Karkat. "Do you want to meet up with us again?" He said, feeling awkward that he had to ask you.
"Sure! Where?" You smiled.
"The park, but a better non-woodsy one." You grabbed your key, put it in your pocket and stepped out into the hall. On your way there, you guys talked. ️Karkat was always a good friend when he wasn't insanely mad.
You and ️Karkat made it to your friends.
You exchanged "hellos." Dave somewhat sleepily said "Yo." Why was he tired?
"Oh my god!!" John suddenly screamed. "I forgot!!" He ran off. That was weird.
"what..-" you began.
"Some sort of father-son thing. He gets grounded if he doesn't go," Jade laughed.
"Ah," you smiled.
Later that evening you guys set for home. Dave had left earlier due to him being tired. ️Karkat left 10 minutes before 6 to evade a lecture. Rose, Jade, and You split ways.
Now you were alone.
