The Unfortunate Love

Chapter 10

It was Monday and Dave was at school. It was lunch and he was beginning to wonder where the hell everyone was. He was sitting at their usual spot all alone. He stood up and went out looking for John and everyone else. He knew they were there because he had seen them earlier in the morning. Dave walked into the empty junior high wing and saw John being held up onto the lockers by his neck. Who was holding him there? None other than Vriska Serket. Dave grumbled as he started to race down the hall to John who was holding Vriska's wrist and gasping for air in attempt to breathe. Dave slowed to an angered, brisk walk as he approached Vriska, nearly broke her arm as he brought his elbow down onto it making her shriek and breaking her away from John. John fell to the ground coughing and gasping as he held his throat and stomach. John swallowed hard and looked up to see Vriska and Dave now dancing violently. They were all over the hall with punches been thrown either way. Most were dodged but some weren't. Vriska by that point had a busted lip and ebrow along with a swelling cheek bone, while Dave had basically been untouched beside the large break in his cheek that was nearly split to the bone. Vriska threw a punch that landed on the side of Dave's head and sent it snapping to the side. His shades flew off and hit the lockers. They snapped and smashed upon impact. Dave looked at them and was instantly even angrier than before. He was in a full-out kill her mode now. Dave looked back to Vriska who was stunned to see his eye color which left her vulnerable to the punch that hit her temple and knocked her out cold. Dave now had a busted cheek and lip as he got down beside John to support him in sitting up.

"Breathe John! Deep breaths, stay with me!"John was panting but soon calmed down from the soothing touch of Dave's voice. John looked at Dave with a soft and weak smile causing Dave to smile back. John's neck was starting to bruise as he closed his eyes and sighed contentedly as he was pulled into a tight hug. "Where is everyone?" Dave pulled back to look at the raven and that's when he noticed that his shades were smashed. John was about to try and talk when everyone came out of a classroom then stopped when they saw Vriska out cold on the floor and Dave with John without his shades on. The teacher came out then gasped and rushed over to Vriska then looked at the boys.

"What happened here?!" Dave glanced at the teacher but then returned to John.

"Vriska had John pinned to the locker and was choking him. He couldn't breathe. I was looking for him when I saw them down here so I dealt with her. She was killing him! I couldn't just stand around and watch him die! So I stepped in. She broke my shades then I knocked her out." Karkat rushed over to John's side and looked at his neck in worry while holding his hand softly. Jade was crying into Rose's shoulder as she stared in horror and stroked the raven's hair softly. Tavros was holding Gamzee's hand while Dirk stared in horror. Dave moved up and slipped and arm around John's shoulders and his other under his knees before lifting him up. Dave then looked at Dirk, everyone then noticed Dave's eye color and stared. The blond was uncomfortable with it but said nothing about it "Hey Dirk. Grab Vriska and we'll take them to the nurse." Dirk nodded and got down. He picked her up bridal style and carried them off down the hall with everyone following closely behind. The blonds brought them into the nurs's office and set them in the chairs.

"Hey John, is it okay if I stay? I'm the only one who doesn't need to see the nurse but is it okay?" Dirk looked at John. He wanted to say sorry for what he did. John simply nodded slightly while looking at him. Dirk sat down in a chair. Dave was wearing Dirk's sweater again to hide his cuts. He licked his lips to rid the blood a little and whipped just under the gash on his cheek with his hand. He looked at his now blood covered hand and sighed softly. He got down on a knee beside John and took his hand loosely.

Dirk looked at them and let out a half smile "You two are cute together." John blushed deeply but smiled. Dave just looked at him making Dirk continue "I wanted to say I was sorry, John. What I did wasn't right. I don't know what came into my mind. I heard that Jake did the same thing and I hope that he didn't hurt you. I hated myself and still do." John had tears forming in his eyes and smiled at Dirk. He mouthed a few words in appreciation. Dave smiled a little at him before leaning up and kissing John's forehead earning a small giggle. Dirk smiled back at them as he just leaned back into his chair. The nurse came with a worried look. He was a man which caused Dirk to smirk.
