Paperjam dreamt without a dream that night, beside that weird one. Sleeping peacefully until there was a loud crash.

Instantly getting up, Paperjam ran out his door room, and downstairs. There, stood a drunken Error is a haze of hate.

"D-Dad?" Paperjam felt tears already forming at his eye sockets.

Paperjam was always scared of the older skeleton when they were drunk. They would sometimes hit, Ink if he got in the way. Paperjam was in his path more than once so what made him think different?

"You!" Paperjam got knocked back in reality as he saw Error walked closer. "If Ink wasn't here I would have destroyed you, by now!" Error yells pushing the younger skeleton back.

Paperjam had been trying to escape back upstairs but instead he ended up falling onto the steps, when Error pushed him.

"Heh, pitiful.. isn't it.." Error slowly walked forward, obviously not for anything good.

Panicking, Paperjam tried to drag himself back up the stairs and gain balance again.

"I can kill you now..." Error placed a foot on Paperjam's spine, stopping the small other from moving. "..and not feel sorry." He growled, as he pushed pressure into his foot down, crushing the spine of Paperjam, slowly and painfully.

Paperjam's reaction wasn't anything new. He clawed at Error's leg trying to get it off, and even tried to throw the other off. But no matter what, he couldn't and all he could do was to make a stream of tears flow out and wails of pain to tear through his non-existence lungs.

"St-op..! D-Dad!" Paperjam struggled to get words out.

Crushing his spine would kill the kid, surely, because like any other Sans'. He had only 1 HP. Some may think it's "health" or something. Well not exactly. It stood for "HoPes" but like any Sans, Paperjam barely had HoPe...yet. Maybe later but not now.

Back to the situation Paperjam started to hear small cracks. "Stop!" He yelped as he kicked his legs.

Error took no pity on the younger child. "So..useless." There was a final crack when Paperjam saw the world flash into black...

Paperjam awoke, back in bed once again. Pain was the first to kick into him, as he grew fully awake. Every breath he took felt as if it was going for be his last. Remembering the events that happened earlier, Paperjam slid his hand down to his spine. When he did he felt a sort of bandage around it.

"So..Dad did damage my spine.." He muttered to himself before he started to hear talking beyond his room door.

Ink had returned as promise, but when he did arrived he was greeted by Error- not Paperjam.

"Where is Paperjam?" Ink asked as he jumped on his toes; eager to see his son.

Error had tried to welcome Ink, but the other only wanted their son. Sighing, Error answered.

"He is upstairs, he doesn't...feel well." Error says in an effort to lie about the 'incident'.

Ink frowns, falling to his feet flat. "Maybe..should I check on him?"

"No I don't think,- h-hey!" Before getting to finish, Error was pushed gently off to the side as Ink walked passed him in the house. "Ink? What are doing?" Error asked, already knowing the possible answer.

"To check on Pj, of course! I mean, aren't you worried about your son?" Ink counters in a somewhat sassy tone.

!No..no not really¡ Error thinks to himself as he stared at the shorter skeleton.

Huffing, Ink continues as he reaches the stairs to lead upwards.

Error, worried that he would get caught from the 'accident' he hurriedly came up with some excuses..

Paperjam heard the mumbles of his parents from the staircase, as he slowly rises from bed. In an effort to listen in, he sets his feet to the floor and shuffled over to his door. Placing the side of his head -where his ear would be if he had one- to the door. He could hear their voices grow louder until they -his parents- were just on the other side of the door.

"..-o you shouldn't go in there." Paperjam heard his Father speak. Their glitched voice shaking in a haste.

"Annnd why not?" Paperjam imagined that his Dad, Ink, having placed their hands on their hips.

"Because poor Pj is sick-" Paperjam wanted to snort in a sadistic way, at the lie his Father spoke of.

"- and you want him to get better, correct?" Error finishes off.

Silence. Paperjam would have thought of Ink nodding his head since Error continued on.

"Yes? Okay so, you need to let him rest for now. But actually, you need to rest as well.." Paperjam heard the clank of there heads hitting as they kissed.

Paperjam stuck out one of his tongue, in disgust. He had no desire for love at the time.

"..I'll check on him. Just, go to our room I'll be there." Paperjam focussed back to the conversation outside.

"..fine. But...check on him now. I want-"

"Yeah I know, now just go." Error cuts out Ink from his response.

Paperjam stands there as they were now creaking that were leading downstairs. Wait...check..on him..now..
If he had blood, it ran cold. Turning his, quietly jumped back in bed. The moment he pulled his blanket over him, the door opened reveling Error.

Paperjam faked his sleeping.

"Ahh..ya still asleep? Welp.." Error only did just stare at him before heading to their door. "-I hope you stay asleep.." He mumbles as he walked out the room and closed the door.

Once it was quiet, and the coast was clear. Paperjam lets any tears fall down the side of his face.  .

*Is super sorry it took so long to update*
I'm sorrrryyy. School is working up on me, but I'll try to update every Friday(or so).
So in this I rather have Pj act in the way 7goodangel(Creator of Paperjam) on Tumblr created him to be. So he'll be calling Ink "Dad" and Error as "Father". Another thing, is about the thoughts they have. Ink thoughts will be "*Maybe..", Error thoughts will be shown as "!Maybe..¡", and Paperjam will just be normal "Maybe..". Just giving information.
Again, sorry for typos and such.
I just hope you'll enjoy the story!!
(Also, for the wonderful comments! >///< Taaankkk uuuu!! ❤)
