WHICH ANGSTY SHIP IS GOOD ENOUGH FOR THIS?!?! ALL OF THEM ARE. UGH. JUST THROW SOME CROSSMARE IN IT AND CALL IT A DAY.

I'll just cry in the corner, no worries ;-;

~Cross' P.O.V.~

There goes my luck
There goes my pride

I coughed up blood as my tears continued to cascade down my face, even in such extreme pain, I continued on.

There goes everything that I've been working for all of my life

I felt someone pull me back, making me barely miss a fatal attack. I had no clue who it was.

There goes that dream
And so it seems
There goes the days and nights awakened fighting thoughts of losing

Before I could turn around and see who it was, Chara attacked me again and made me lose concentration of that moment.

Maybe everything I learned before today was just a waste
What if everywhere I felt that I belonged was not my place
And it worked

The battle ended and I woke up, my breath taken away from the immense spike of adrenaline and overpowering fear. It was just a dream... it was all just a bad dream... why did it have to feel so vivid though?

"Don't blame yourself
Cause you tried as hard as hell
With the hand that you were dealt"

Nightmare had walked in and hugged me while singing, startling me.

"Don't blame
Get on your feet, enough poor me
If you got time to bitch and whine, well there's still time to try again"

I chuckled lightly at the third verse, cursing isn't something that Nightmare will do often when he is in a good mood.

"This time you're free
I know it's hard to believe
After them days and nights awakened, feeling lost, you're losing it"

I hugged Nightmare back, not wanting to lose this moment. It was one of the few times I can be at peace around Nightmare...

"But if everything you learned before today was just a waste
Think of everyone you met along the way and all you've faced
Boy, you've won"

The faces of Ink, Dream, Horror, Dust, Murder and Error flashed through my mind at the same time and ended at Nightmare. He gave me so much without knowing. A home. A family. A reason to continue.

Yeah

I chuckled and wiped my tears away, letting go of Nightmare and looking into his eye before he kissed me gently.

So don't blame yourself
Cause you tried as hard as hell
With the hand that you were dealt

I kissed back and closed my eyes, feeling drowsy and falling asleep soon after.

Don't blame
Now the road laid out before me is in flames

We were in a battle with the Star Sans' now... Nightmare got hit for protecting me when I wasn't paying attention.

And the bridges that I've crossed have collapsed

I hugged Nightmare's body tightly before feeling him go to his passive form. He... didn't even have enough strength to stay in his aggressive form...

And the vultures they are circling overhead

I screamed until my vocal chords wouldn't let me anymore when Nightmare passed out. He...

They're reminding me of choices from my past

Flashbacks of Frisk dying in my arms taunted me and I sobbed . I stood up slowly and glared at Ink, Dream, and Swap Sans before summoning my knife and attacking them quickly and mercilessly. Dust, Horror, and Murder stayed behind me and protected Nightmare's body as I threw attack after attack at the three, throwing the majority at Ink. If it wasn't for him... this wouldn't have happened. NONE OF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF INK JUST KEPT TO HIMSELF.

"Don't blame yourself
Cause you tried as hard as hell
With the hand that you were dealt"

I was sitting next to Nightmare's bed, taking care of him when I turned around and heard him sing. "Don't overexert yourself Nighty..." I tried to stop him from singing those same lyrics that night...

"Don't blame yourself
'Cause you tried as hard as hell
With the hand that you were dealt"

Nightmare dusted in my arms and I felt so... b r o k e n... My world. My life. My reason of living was dead. His dust lied in my arms.

Don't blame
Don't blame
Oh, you tried as hard as hell
With the hand that you were dealt

I never truly stopped crying during the funeral. Many of the 'Evil' Sans' came and spoke about him. His short temper and how everyone was amused by it. His witty remarks to everything. How charismatic he was all the time. How amazing he was. I refused to go up and speak. I would've broke down more then I already was. His dust was buried next to the Tree of Feelings.

Don't blame
Don't blame
Yeah, you tried as hard as hell
With the hand that you were dealt
Don't blame
Don't blame
Don't blame
Don't blame
Don't blame

Everyone's dreams were nonexistent. Almost as if Dream wanted that to happen...

There goes my luck

Of course I was the only one with dreams... And a nightmare at that... Guess I can't ever have a 'lucky' day...
