ERIDAN POV

You wake up in the park on the jungle gym inside of a tube that most little kids go through in order to get to the slide. You forgot to go home last night and you really don't care. Cronus wouldn't care about it.

You check your phone to see what time it is and it's 7:32. School starts at 8:00 and you wanna be there for the last day of school since you know that you won't be seeing all of those assholes again.

You get up and climb out of the tube and start to run towards the school since it's about 35 minutes for walking and for the way your taking. You would take a different route but that would take longer than usual.

You get on the front steps of the school and check your phone, 7:50. Nice, it only took you 18 minutes get to school. You quickly go to your locker, grab all of your books for the first three hours before lunch, and trying quickly to get to class on time.

You hear loud foot steps in the distance and a tap on your shoulder. You look behind you and gulped. It was Sollux Captor and you didn't like the expression on his face he was giving you.

"Where you going nerd?" He sneered and knocked down your books. You shrugged it off, it was the last day. You grab your books back up and pushes you against the wall face first. "I thaid, where are you going?! Do you regret what you did latht night?! I don't think you did." He became angrier, turns you around, and punches you in the gut. You fall onto your side and then got kicked in the eye by his foot.

You close your eyes and Sollux leaves. You open your eyes and hardly can get up. You feel people picking you up and throwing you against the wall again. You try to see who it was and couldn't. You break free, grabbing your books, and running away.

You go to your first hour and surprisingly it's not done. You check the clock above the door and it had 10 minutes left in the class period.

Everybody looked at you and your teacher got up from his desk and asked, "Why are you late Mr. Ampora?"

"I ov-ver slept."

"Really? Then why didn't one of your parents call?"

You got angry. "I don't hav-ve parents!"

"Then why didn't anybody else call?!"

"I didn't go home last night ok?! Can we just get the fact that I did not come here on time?!"

He huffs, "Ok, but you still have to makeup class time."

You nod your head and he returns to his desk. You pull out a piece of paper from a notebook, that has been used thousands of times, and start to draw. You where very bad at drawing you thought. You got up and handed in your books. You won't be seeing that old thing anymore.

You return to your desk and started to draw again. You where drawing a couple of people with wings and crying faces. Damn, you really like them but you drew them anyway.

You hear the bell ring and head out of class quickly. Until you see Sollux in the hallway. You start to go quicker and he catches you by the collar of your purple scarf that you wear everyday. You turn around and he punches you in the mouth. You fall to the ground, but you get back up. He grabs you by the shirt now and knocks you to the ground. He grabs your drawing and looks at it.

"You drawing angelth now? Ooh, do you need a angel? Don't you have a mommy angel?" Sollux said in a sarcastic tone. He looks at the paper last time and rips it in have and throws it on the ground. Then grabbing one of your pencils and stabbing it into your hand. You pick up your hand to see it completely through your hand. It hurts and you began to cry.

You try to run to the bathroom, but instead of running you limped. You limped into the bathroom and went up to a sink. You washed off the blood around it first and then heard something coming in.

You quickly shot your head around and looked at him. It was Equius and he looked at you straight in the eye and then looked at the pencil that was jammed into your hand.

"You know what you did to Sollux was very harsh on him. So he told us to make you pay!" He said in a very "horse" voice.

"W-what?! Not you too!" You began to scream. "Please! Not me!" Equius picks you up and pulls out the pencil in your hand. That hurt even worse, but at least it's out! He was very strong. He gripped you harder and through you into a wall. When he did that he broke one of the tiles on the wall. He grabbed you again and shoved you into a stall using the bloody pencil to jam it to get you stuck in the stall.

Equius left and you crawled up from the bottom of the stall. You see another person come in and stared at your hand and said, "Boy did ya' go on an adventure, mate?"

You leave and and hear the bell ring. It was now lunch time. You missed two class periods. You don't care anymore. You run out of the school building and into your home. You look around and see Cronus on the couch watching Grease singing along in a groggy voice, while sobbing with a bucket of ice cream. You knew that feeling. You walk over to him and he looks at you. "I know-w how-w you feel." You sit next to him an he looks into your eyes. "It's goin to be ok Cronus." You pat him on his back and give him a hug.

//Warning: Very sad.//

You walk into the bathroom and say softly so Cronus won't hear, "Goodbye Cronus. Ill miss you. I'm sorry I didn't grow-w up like you did dad. I couldn't get past the bullies. I didn't get to be a senior in Highschool. I w-was close tho. Cronus was good to me. I should of w-went home after the party. I'm just a nerd w-with a FUCKIN stuttering v-voice. This is it...no more suffering. Just a nice smile for the newspaper. A nice smile for all of my people. I will be famous. Goodbye."

You get up and grab some pills in cabinet. You poor them into your hand, taking one by one. After you fished the last one you got dizzy. You grabbed a razor blade and put it up to your skin. You begun to cry, one by one, cut by cut. Your blood starts to flow all over the floor and hear the door open. It was Cronus. You smile weakly and pass out on the floor into your own blood.

It's black, it feels like you dreaming, and you only knew you had a smile on your face for the crowd. Goodbye.
