Fixing Errors

Chapter fifteen

-A week or so later-

Eraser was mindlessly walking alone.
He was feeling absolutely dead.
Nausea, dizziness, exhaustion...
At this point he was dragging himself around.

Last few days... Maybe weeks... He couldn't even remember.
Regardless of how long, he'd kept himself excessively drunk, hoping to just forget everything happening.

But just yesterday he tried to get alcohol the way he always did, and he was attacked, physically attacked.
Every place he tried sent him away and even tried to kill him.

One place told him why.
Reboot had gone and told everyone not to give Eraser things using his name.
It must've meant that Reboot was well enough to walk again...

Eraser, however at this moment was suffering a hard hangover.

Since Reboot sent him away he avoided all contact with people.
But at this moment he was looking for help.

He knew perfectly that Reboot had probably told people and word got around fast... Especially if Reboot was the one to start something.
Everyone at this point should know.

He kept walking and hoping to find someone.

Later, in the hottest time of the day, he felt himself passing out and collapsing.
He panicked and found shade of a tree and sat there.
Then completely passed out there.

He did wake... But much much later, it was dark when he finally woke up.
He sat up slowly feeling horrible pain in his head and stomach.

"Jesus, you look horrible." He heard from behind himself.
Eraser looked back and only saw a dark shadowy figure against the tree.
"Do you sleep anymore?"

Eraser could barely see.. So it wasn't helping. "Who the hell are you?"
Whoever it was went straight up to Eraser. "You don't recognize the one you call friend?"
Eraser sighed realizing who and rolled his eyes. "Fuck off, Marvul."

Marvul completely ignored Eraser, and spoke."Do you sleep under trees now?"
"I said fuck off." Eraser snapped.

"You could be more friendly. You do realize that I'm the only one who will help and talk to you if you stop being so stubborn." Marvul snapped back at him.

"You want me to ignore that you completely ruined everything for me?!" Eraser stood and yelled.
"You didn't have to agree. I do believe a deal is something you could disagree to. You could've said no and nothing would've happened." Marvul huffed.

Eraser turned to just walk away.

He heard Marvul start to follow him... As he expected.

"Are you just looking to make trouble again?" Eraser looked back at him.
Marvul looked down. "I want to talk to someone."

Eraser hadn't looked at Marvul until now...
"Holy shit, you look horrible."
Marvul was immediately filled with anger and gritted his teeth. "I haven't slept in over a week! What the actual fuck do you expect?!"

Eraser only scoffed. "What's keeping you awake? You're not suffering a breakup or addiction."
"Other reasons that aren't important." He growled back at Eraser. "I haven't slept and don't know to get something to eat. What's wrong with you?"
