Blue's View:
5Am
I woke up at 5AM to get ready, we had a long day ahead of us. I had barely any sleep since I had to clean the mess Dream and Ink had left from yesterday's chill out night. Rubbing my eyes, I went to the bathroom. The bags under my eyes were more noticeable than before.

I washed my face, got ready, and headed downstairs to make breakfast.

6AM
I finished making breakfast and the others came down.

* Good morning guys~!
Dream exclaimed, taking a few pancakes and sitting down.

Ink and I replied.

* Hey Blue, could you bring the orange juice?
Ink asked impatiently, I hadn't even finished tidying the kitchen. I grabbed the carton and went to the table with my single pancake...it seemed they were very hungry today.

* We have a lot to do today, I have a feeling Nightmare and his awful gang will show up in one of the pacifist timelines today. Now I don't want the last event to reoccur, okay?

Ink and I nodded, I put my head down. We all promised one another to never talk about it again for Dream's sake but what happened....had nothing to do with him.

It was all my fault.

We finished eating and went to the pacifist timeline, the sense of a darkened aura was already present.

* Don't slow us down this time, okay?

I nodded, spawning two sharp bones, ready to fight.

And so we did.

The battle was getting harder and harder, it was harder to dodge when you were hungry and exhausted. Killer suddenly zoomed by way but I blocked him with a bone. We began to fight, his grinned widened as I got weaker and slower...

* BLUE!
I heard Dream's yell as a tentacle grabbed me and threw me into a nearby building. I could see the sky darkening and could heard the citizens crying and yelling with such hate.

Because of me, they had completely shattered this timeline.

* Let's move to the next one.
Cross told his teammates.

I managed to get myself up as I saw everyone else go through their portals. The timeline was breaking apart and I had to get out before I glitched to my death. The glitches were painful, but I had to bare with in for a bit before I had enough energy to create a portal again.

Dream was right, I had to be better.

12PM
I finally found them but they were helping citizens by healing them.

* It took you long enough to get here, Blue...
Ink said, healing a child.

* Sorr-

* Sorry won't fix the fact that you're acting as if you're not bothered anymore. I expect more from you Blue.

I remained silent as I helped them finish healing everyone off because we returned home.

4PM
Nothing would change if I did nothing right? I knocked on Dream's door nervously. It opened with his magic; I went in.

* What's up?

* Dream...we need to talk. I do almost everything and I barely get sleep nor free time to myself. Of course I care about helping others but not at the extend that I feel weak and drowsy all the time...

Dream put his own in the desk and turned around to face me. He looked angry.

* I balanced the good and bad of every timeline in this multiverse but you don't see me complaining! Stop being ungrateful Blue, we've given you everything.

* I am grateful, I just-

* Stop caring about yourself for once.

Those words cut deeper than any attack laid in me. I apologised for disturbing him and went back to my room. He was right.

I was selfish.
I was ungrateful.

I grabbed the little box under my bed and went to the nearby river. I sat down and frowned.

I couldn't do anything right.
Failure.

I opened the box and grabbed the small stained knife.

If you want to work sloppy, you can get punished.

I cut again and again, not stopping. The tears poured more and more but I let out no noise. After all, this was deserved for my lazy work.

Stupid...
Lazy...
Annoying...
Pathetic...
Disappointment.

I gasped as I realised I had cut deeper than expected. It stung painfully. My heart began to beat faster and faster as the blood poured. I quickly grabbed a cloth, laying pressure on the injury. Everything seemed to spin and I couldn't help it...I passed out.

8PM
My eyes shot open; the sun had disappeared.

* Oh no.

I grabbed the box, teleporting it back to its place under my bed. I put my blue gloves back on and ran home.

Dinner should've been made by now...

I sprinted into the kitchen to see Dream and Ink eating pizzas. Phew!

* Where have you been?
Ink asked, sounding slightly annoyed.

* I went for....a walk.
I replied, looking down.

* For more than three hours? That's hard to believe.

* I..I fell asleep.

* Then go to bed.
Dream turned to face me, he was talking surprisingly calmly. I nodded and went upstairs, half way up, I heard my name.

Blue never does anything right Dream. He's slow, lazy, he can't even follow a simple routine!

I know Ink...I know. I just don't know what to do with him anymore. We need him to help spread positivity.

Just get rid of him soon..

I closed my bedroom door behind me and grabbed my backpack. If they wanted me gone, their wish was my command. I packed some clothes, my box, and a blanket. I left a note telling them I would be back soon but let's face it, that was a lie. Slyly exiting the building, I ran faster than I ever could.

I just want to get out of here!

The rain began to pour heavily but I didn't care anymore. The floor became more and more unstable as I realised I was getting near a waterfall.

But I didn't care anymore.

What a disappointment.
