The Fault In Our Souls (A human Nightcross fanfiction)

Chapter 2: I'm Not Okay...

###

I decided on going to the basement to go on the treadmill, maybe that will help clear my mind. I turned it on to a pace that I could barely keep up with, I lost track of time until Dream yelled down the stairs.

"Are you going to come up and eat or am I going to have to bring it down to you??"

"I'm not really hungry, so I'll eat it later." I replied.

"Okay, I'll put it in the fridge."

After an hour or so I had pushed myself so far that I just  went to my room and passed out on my bed... I'll take a shower... tomorrow...

When I woke up I looked to see that I had about an hour until the school bus came, I went over to my dresser and pulled out a purple shirt that I haven't worn in forever... I'll wear it under my My Chemical Romance hoodie...

I took an extremely long shower, more accurately like 8 minutes. I got dressed quickly just so that Dream wouldn't walk in on me. I blew dried my hair and brushed it into the way that I wanted it to look. I then glanced at the clock... 45 minutes left, I have to be done with the whole routine with 5 minutes to spare so that I can get to the bus on time. I saw Dream running out of his room... I never was as lazy as he was. ..

I grabbed my bag and my pre-made lunch... Thank god our mom loves us. I almost forgot my phone, I ran back and grabbed it off of the charger and ran out the door. I didn't care if it was about to die, as long as I could call in case of emergency or play Undertale.  I left the house, Dream will lock it for me.

Another day of hell and torment... I noticed that Cross was on the other side of the street, I looked over at him. He glanced back and we eventually ended up walking on the same side.

"So, I'm guessing you take the bus too." Cross said.

"Heh, my brother should be here soon-."

"Nightmare, why do you always leave without me??" Dream asked panting, scaring the crap out of us.

"Not my fault you're a heavy sleeper." I chuckled.

"Oh, you're Nightmare's brother? I'm Cross." Cross greeted.

"Dream, also are you both friends??" Dream spoke.

"I guess you could say that." I added.

"Wait, you think of me as a friend?"

"Heh, yeah." I smiled a little, for the first time in a while. I could tell that Dream was shocked to see that someone actually made me happy. "After all, you're the first person who hasn't left me alone the first day you met me."

Dream was kind of using Cross as a tool to understand why I am alone all of the time. But I could tell that they both were kind of in on this, Cross just wanted to have a friend to talk to.

The bus suddenly pulled up to the corner, I could see the Shipper Squad was dying over me standing next to Cross. Audrey was probably making the biggest deal over this though.

I got on and sat down in the back, as far away from Fell and G as possible; all while protecting myself from pencils and pens. Cross immediately sat down next to me and put in his earbuds, I could faintly hear 'Welcome to The Black Parade' through them.  He took one out and offered it so that we both could listen.

When we got to school I got to my locker quickly and went to Choir, yes I know that it may seem odd. But it is an extremely easy grade, I could easily get an A and my mom would be proud of me for minimal effort. I got into the class first like always, we had a concert in two days and guess who had a fucking solo in it. Yours truly.

I might have to ask for Dream to take over, we both had equal practice. I knew that Cross could help me through this, but I knew that I would have to go over to his house after school. I really didn't want to though, singing in front of someone else wasn't my strong suit; we had to sing the song 'Brave'. I had to sing one of the shortest bits, but still...

I was told to come to the class after school, I could text Joku and tell them that they need to pick me up then. Well at least I could avoid ending up in the crossfire of so many pencils, and I would be able to go over to Cross' house.

I waited all day for me being able to leave, when I managed however I was relieved to find out that I was able to go over to Cross' house; hopefully this doesn't end bad.
