Get Back Up ~ TUp Fanfiction

Chapter 29 - Stuck Alone

Taz laid in pain in the nursery, tears wanting to form but never came, she had cried out too many already for more to come. She had just lost her two best friends in the entire world alongside being beaten again in the same spot by the robots as last time.

"Hello, Lieutenant." Dr. Peterson came up to her.

"Hola Peterson..." she said slowly.

"So, Lieutenant—" he started.

"Jou can just call me, Taz." She interrupted.

"Alright, Taz." He paused, "You have hurt your ribs yet again, but don't worry we're going to fix you up, again."

"Thank you..." she breathed.

After an hour or so of laying in pain, the doctor came back and took care of her.

She woke up an hour after a small surgery and felt something on her face, "What's dat—" she started.

"A bigger band-aid type thing." The doctor said, "You had a cut on your cheek. You may have a scar there for the rest of your life, Taz. It's pretty deep."

"Whatever." She said sitting up, but it still hurt.

"I—I wouldn't do that just yet, it may hurt for a day or so." He advised.

"T'nks for waiting to inform me till after I tried to get up, dumbass." She scoffed.

"You're welcome, Lieutenant." He laughed.

Taz groaned, "Can I leave now?" Ask asked.

"If you're still hurting like I just told you, then no."

She sat up, "Not hurting. I can go now." She got up and limped a step before the doctor stopped her.

"No. Stay here another night." He said, "it still seems like it's bad."

Taz didn't like that. She didn't want to seem weak or soft, "I'm fine." She stood up, in pain but didn't show it.

"Alright, I'll check you out." He said, "but only because you're the Lieutenant." He started to walk away until he turned back around, "Call me if you need me. You may go."

"Gracias..." she said and walked off.

She started walking back to her dorm room, limping with bruises and scars on her body. She ended up running into February and Krayonder in the Hall, "oh Taz!" February greeted.

Taz looked at her with a plain look, no emotion in her face, "Hi..." she said then kept walking.

"What're you doing? Shouldn't you be in the nursery?" Krayonder asked.

"No..." Taz said as she kept walking.

They jogged up to her to catch up, then kept talking to her as she had no emotion in her replies.

"¡Cállate!" She stopped her pace to turn around, "let me be."

"I know you just got back and Up's in the nursery so we just wanted you to have a
friend—" February started.

"I don't need a friend. I've been alone my entire life. Just leave me alone for once god damn it." She mockingly whined.

"Well... do you at least want to go eat dinner with us?" Krayondor asked.

If this was the only way they'll leave her alone, she decided to take it, plus she was hungry and felt like she hadn't ate in years.

She hate and heard them rant on and on, talking none stop that she knew she hated. She regretted the decision once she got there but there was no turning back now.

She looked at the empty table that was in middle of the room, her and Up's. No one sat there, knowing it was theirs. No one seemed to care though, until a teacher bursted through the bulletin, "Hello Students, Admiral Hawkins here, and I have a small announcement. As all of you know, The Robot Wars are now over," the whole cafeteria cheered until he kept talking, "On a gloomy note, we have lost a great number of fortitudinous soldiers..." everyone was silent, "We shall now take a moment of silence for those soldiers who sacrificed their lives for us..." it slowly got quiet on that end. People stood around with their heads high, not making a sound, some with their hand on their hearts and hats off.

Taz sat there and looked off into the distance, "Parker..." she thought, "I can't do this."

She left the cafeteria hitting the table with her hands and walked out with a slam on the door and everyone looked to her as A. Hawkins began to talk on the bulletin again, "We are so sorry for everyone's losses and if you ever need anything, all of us are here." Taz was briskly walking to her dorm now, not knowing that Krayondor and February had followed close behind, "Thank you all so much for listening and taking a moment of silence for our losses. Thank you and have a great day." The bulletin ended and Taz felt tears starting to form in her eyes but pushed them away as she speed down the hallways.

"Taz!" She heard the voice of February yell, but she didn't reply.

"Hey Taz, we're just trying to help you—"

"—I don't need jour help! Now just leave me alone!"

"Taz—" Krayonder started.

"Now if jou'll excuse me..."

"Come on—"

"¡Voy a llorar a mí mismo a dormir esta noche!" Taz yelled to Krayonder that didn't seem to get off her back sense she got out of the nursery.

"What?" He replied utterly confused.

"HIJO DE PUTA—" she yelled walking faster down to her dorm.

"Let her be..." February tried to pull him away.

"No—"

"¡DÉJAME SOLO!" Taz yelled then ran to her room in full of force that if anyone to get into her way, would be killed.

Once she got in, she locked the door and fell down to the floor, tears streamed down her face quickly and she just cried. Hurting, like she had been sense she was taken by the Ranger to the nursery. She got up, tears falling, and walked over to her bed where she grabbed two Polaroid pictures, one of her family and the other of her and Up the night of her graduation.

"6/10/09 Up+Taz
To More Memories!"

Was written on the small Polaroid. She hugged the pictures and laid down on her right side, the tears falling and not close to stopping. She was now alone. She was stuck alone at the end yet again, but no one to save her this time.

"everything's gone..." she thought, "everyone I love is gone."
