That Crash Saved My Life...

{Ch. 2} Liar Liar

{DAVE}

Damn it I ran. I was about to say what they did but cut myself off. "They were great." I smiled fakely. Dirk raised a eyebrow. "Sooo..... why'd you run up the stairs?" Shit.... "I-I have m-major p-paranoia s-s-since I was b-born. I-I don't h-have people t-touch my back b-b-because of that." I said quietly and a bit quickly. I couldn't tell them what happened. They would hate me. "Oh I see." Dirk and D smiled softly. I didn't smile back. They took me to my room and I locked the door sinking down the door crying. My phone began to ring. I answered it seeing that it was the hospital. "Hello is this David Strider?" "Y-Y-Yes...." "You parents wanted me to tell you their sorry..... I'm not sure for what but they said they are sorry." She then hung up. I started to cry and dropped the phone. I had learned how to cry silently. D knocked on the door. "Dave its dinner time...." I pushed up my shades and opened the door looking up at him. "I-Im not h-hungry." I said emotionless. D frowned but nodded and walked downstairs. I closed the door finding my razor and locked the door. I started to cut my wrists to feel the pain that I felt every night normally. After about 15 minutes I stopped and wrapped my wrists. I then hid them at the bottem of my bag. That bag was everything I had. I hid the bag and layed on the bed and falling asleep curling up in my hoodie. 'It's too late to apologize....' Was the last thought I had before I fell asleep making sure the door was locked and the window was not.

I sat downstairs in the living room with Dirk talking with him normally and eating the pizza. D walked down looking extremely concerned but confused. "What's up, Bro?" I asked kissing his lips softly. Even though D and I were brothers we had a small relationship that neither of us knew exactly what it was. He kissed back and sighed. "Okay so I went upstairs to go get Dave. I swear I heard sniffling like crying. I told him it was dinner time. It took a few seconds. But you know whenever you cry your cheeks turn red and all that?" We nod. "He showed none of that. No red face, No sniffling. He was completely emotionless. I know that we were taught to show no emotion but it was like all of his emotions were gone like he was empty..." He said frowning. "Woah..... even we show emotion not much but enough..." Dirk said. "Okay let's get too bed guys we'll figure it out in the morning." I said getting them both up. We went to bed falling asleep quickly.

~Time Skip To Morning also Short Dave Pov~

I woke up in the morning at 5:30. It was still pitch black outside. I grabbed my clothes changing also changing the bandages making a note to go to the house and get some money for new bandages and food. Not that I would eat it. I pulled my hoodie over myself pulling down the sleeves. I unlocked the door checking to see if everyone is asleep still. Of course they probably would I was very quiet. I grabbed my bag and putting all my stuff in it. I didn't think I would come back until 9am or 10. I needed to more than likely to charge my shitty phone and other things. I opened up the window crawling out. We were on the 5th floor of this place. There was a fire escape a few feet away. I got to it and got to the ground making sure I closed the window. I left walking to my house slipping in threw the window grabbing around 700 dollars in cash and a credit card that I would take the money from later. I found out a year ago my parents stole all this money and were big time scammers. Not those shitty ones. No really good ones. Our house was stained with blood stains and broken beer bottles everywhere. There also was drugs. I grabbed my vape and other things. I was always a troublemaker. I had a mask and would spray paint messages on the walls of places. I grabbed my laptop and my sketchbook with my pencils and pens. I then left threw the door. It was around 6 now. I started to walk around town. I went to go meet up with internet friends for the first time. They knew about what my parents did. I saw a group of 15 people and smiled. I walked up to a nerdy raven haired kid. "Hey EB." "Hey guys Dave's here!" I smiled a bit then it faded. "Are you alright? We haven't heard from you in a week." TT said worridly. "Ya I'm fine. Actually I live with someone else now. That's why I am here. I kind of flash stepped to my house to grab my shit tho." Everyone looked shocked. "What happened? Did they get caught? Finally." TA said. "No. They got in a car crash and didn't make it but....." GG looked up from her phone more than likely texting her sister that she's fine. "Butttttttt?????" She dragged out the word. "The hospital called..... they said they wanted me to know they are sorry...." Everyone's eyes widened as I said that. "Maybe it was all in my head..." "OH FUCK NO! WE ARE NOT GONNA THINK LIKE THAT YOU ASS. DO YOU SEE WHAT THEY DID TOO YOU! DID HE TELL YOU ABOUT OUR SKYPE CALL?" My eyes widened. "No, what happened?" TT said frowning. "I KNOW ITS NOT IN HIS HEAD BECAUSE DURING A CALL WITH DAVE HIS PARENTS CAME IN AND STARTED BEATING HIM. ITS NOT FAKE...." He said crossing his arms. I looked down. "They said that to get to you. They were abusive excuse my language but fucking assholes who didn't deserve to breathe the fucking air." Rose said angrily. "Okay..." EB smiled. "Now let's hang out you dorks! I only have three hours before Dad freaks. Oh Dave who are you living with now?" EB asked curiously. "My brothers...." "Holy shit.... u have brothers and didn't know about them?" "They didn't know about me either. I fucked up so bad already though. 'Bro' or Derrick put his hand on my back and I bolted." I said mumbling. "What happened?" "They asked and I lied and said I had paranoia which isn't a lie but still and that our parents were amazing." I sighed. They hugged me. "So help me God if they hurt you once call us and we'll be there in seconds." Rose said sternly. We all had a power because of Rose. We can teleport anywhere, anytime. They all nodded. "Okay...." I said smiling. We started to joke around and have fun.

I woke up in the morning making breakfast. It was around 8am. I got Bro and Dirk up. I knocked on Dave's door not getting a answer. I assumed he was sleeping. We started to eat. When we finished we started to joke around and talk. Around 9:45 I heard laughing outside the door. We looked at it confused. "Ya ya. I won't and I'll tell you don't worry. Hopefully this isn't their sick jokes again...." "Remember to call me David if ANYTHING happens. Don't pull the shit you did last time." "Okay TT. I will if I have too." I looked at Dirk and Bro. They both had their eyebrows raised. Then everything went silent. I walked to the door. No girl. No Dave. No one was down the hallway. I told Dirk and Bro what happened. They looked confused. Then Dave came out of his room getting some water and sat there not saying anything. "Hey Dave? Did you just wake up?" He nodded. "Hmmm..... okay." I shrug. Dave pulled out his phone and started texting someone. Dave didn't speak. "So Dave? Wanna tell us about yourself?" Dirk asks. Dave raised a eyebrow. "W-Why?" He said looking emotionless. "Because we live under the same roof?" Dave rolled his eyes. "Your point? I won't be here half the time. I'm quiet enough you'll forget." He said slipping his phone into his pocket. He waved then was gone. "What the hell?"
