Him.

Chapter 2

Eridan's POV

     You turn and walk out of the room. You're going to do it. You're going to tell him. You figure you should get to class, and start down the hall. When you get to class, you get questioned quite a bit. You just say you dropped some stuff and it took a while to gather it back up. The teacher looked at you suspiciously, but let it go. You go back to your seat and count the minutes until class is over. Once you're free, you go to the back. You arrive to see an antsy Sollux sitting cris-cross on the grass. You walk over and sit down next to him.

     "What did you want to talk about?" Sollux asked. You talk with your hands, and as you start, he flinches. You immediately apologize and reassure him that you won't hurt him. He relaxes a bit, but you can tell he's still nervous. You decide to just spill.

     "I am so so sorry for wwhat ivve done, Sol. I wwish I could take it all back. I nevver meant to hurt you. I wwant to make it up to you, but I'm sure you wwont forgivve me. I wwouldnt blame you. I am so, so sorry. I wwanted to do something about it, but if I lose this popular-kid role...I'll lose evverything. Just, please forgivve me, Sol. Please." I let it all out. I left out the part about falling in love with him though. I figured I should probably wait a bit until i admit that. I look up at him. He looks shocked, yet still quite angry.

     "Why thould I? All thethe yearth, you did nothing! You jutht let them hurt me. You jutht thtoud there. Altho, who brought me into the nurtheth offithe? I remember blacking out, and your thtupid gand beating me up to cauthe it. They almothed called my dad! That can't happen! I have a broken rib, ED. A broken rib. And it hurtth like hell. I don't know how to exthplain what happened! And my glatheth are broken...again! What do I tell him, I fell? Thatth not gonna work everytime. I'm jutht tho fruthrtated I could-"

     "I lovve you, Sol." You cut him off. You end up panicking when he doesn't respond and jump up and run. You don't even offer him help. You just run.

Sollux's POV

     He...what? You're not sure you heard him correctly, but then again, he did flee. You decide to push away the thought and move on to your broken rib. It doesn't hurt as bad as the first time it happened, which is why you can still manage to get around. As for your vision, your glasses are broken yet again. You start thinking of lies to tell your father when one of your friends, Nepeta, walks up to you.

     "Oh my god! Sollux! What happened? Are mew okay?" You hate her stupid cat puns, but you definitely don't hate her. She has always been here whenever you have problems with those bullies. She sat down next to you and offered you help up. You accepted.

     "Thothe bullieth again." you try to hard not to let out any tears, but they come anyways. It hurt so bad. Nepeta engulfed you in a hug. You must've been there for 10 minutes or so, just sobbing.

     "Would you like to come over to my place and stay, I can help clean you up and get you some dinner. You can just call your dad and tell him whatever. Go ahead, and I'll get your stuff." You try to protest, but give into it and let her take the stuff. You pull out your phone and call you dad, and attempt to explain what happened.

      You told him that you fell and hurt your rib, but you doubt that it's too bad. You say your glasses broke as well. Then you let him know your going to a friends to spend the night, and hang up. Now that that was done(ARGH), you head over to Nepeta and you walk in silence.

MY FRIEND WAS TALKING TO ME WHILE I WROTE THIS SAYING "Write! Are you writing! WRITE!" PRETTY MUCH THE WHOLE TIME! Thanks, Soph. Hope you liked this chapter!
