A Kiss to Seal Our Secret (A JakeDirk, JohnDave, and JadeKat fanfiction!)

Scars

TRIGGER WARNING CUTTING AND SUICIDE ARE BEING TALKED ABOUT (SKIP TO NEXT CHAPTER IF YOU CANT)

        -Dave's POV-

      I've never seen, such beautiful skin, ripped apart by the one who owns it. I look at John's arms, and his stomach, how he's covered in them. I looked up at him, and look back down at his arms. "W-Who made you do this?" I asked, as John's head was lowered, and his voice soft when he spoke. "Jack." He said softly. I looked at him, and hugged him. "Well he's an asshole." I said softly, as I feel John's arms slowly hug back, like he's unsure.

  -John's POV-

     I feel almost overwhelmed when Dave hugged me. Only my brother hugged me. Once. It was when our father died, I was around 13, Jade only one, and Jake wrapped his arms around me and Jade, and hugged us tightly. I slowly hugged back, burrowing my head into his shoulder. "Why?" He asked me, as I stared straight at the tile walls. "Because, all my life I've felt worthless." I said. "Jack and I have been in the same classes, from preschool, till last year. I remember on the first day of preschool, he hit me with his chair, on the second week of second grade he slammed a book into my side. He's pushed me downstairs, locked me in room, hell, he even stabbed me. But I can't do anything about it. I never can." I say, tears falling down my cheek. Dave doesn't say anything, as we stay in a hug. It's too over whelming for me, having someone else care for me. I can't...take it. It causes too much anxiety in the person, a constant checking up on of the other, making sure they're stable.

   -Dave's POV-

 The next day at school, I look for John in Homeroom, but his seat emptied. I text Rose. 

TG: hey sis, where's Egbert?

TT: You haven't heard?

My heart stopped. 

TG: heard what

TT: None of us are there

TT: John's in the hospital. 

My eyes widen, as I bolt up. "I need to go to the hospital." I told the teacher. "What? Why?" "My friend's in danger!" I yelled, as I run out to the car. I jump in, and put my key in, driving quickly to the hospital. 

I sat with my crying sister, holding her hand, Jake, John's older brother, who was pacing with a little girl in his arms, who kept asking where her big brother was. Tears formed in my eyes, falling down my cheeks. There was at least six of us in there, all piled in a crying group. A doctor came out, his clipboard in hand. "He woke up," The entire group perked up. "and asked for a Mr. Dave Strider?" He asked. "That's me." I said, standing up and wiping my eyes, as I ran in. John was wired to all these things, beeping and making weird noises. His face was pale, and his blue eyes a dark grey. His cuts were stitched, and his breathing deep. I looked at him from the door, and looked around. It was so...so, so blank. No...anything. Not besides John. I look at him, his wonderful blue, bubbly eyes, all grey, and sad. I walked over, looking at him. "W-What happened?" I asked. "I'm so sorry..." He said softly. " For what?" I asked. "For trying to kill myself." He said plainly. My eyes widened. 'NO.' I thought, as I cupped his face in my hands, and kissed his cheek. He hugged me, crying into my shoulder, as I hugged back. 

"I missed you." I said into his hair. 

"When?" John asked. 

"When you weren't at school today." 

"What? Why?" He asked again.

"Because you mean so much to me." I said, nuzzling into his hair. 

"You mean so much to me too." John said softly. 

"Promise this won't happen again?" I asked

"Promise not to stress?" He asked

"Promise not to do this?" I asked again. 

"I promise." John said. 

"Then I promise too." I said.
