Together (Deltarune Suselle) [HIATUS]

Chapter 8

Noelle sighed as she sat down at the bench, twirling her finger around a stand of her sandy blonde hair letting out a anxious and smitten sigh, "I did it, I gave her the letter....I've been meaning to do for so long!",Noelle giggled as she swinged her feet back and forward as she breathed in the gentle and clear air of the afternoon.

Noelle smiled as Susie stood before her, holding out her hand as she Noelle grasped it and moved close. Susie smiled as she licked her lips before bending down, her lips edging closer to her

"Yo Noelle!", a voice shouted pulling Noelle out of her trance.

Gosh diddly darn it.

"O-oh! Hello MK!", Noelle greeted still slightly annoyed as MK used his tail to rub off any dust of the bench and plonked himself next to her,

"Hiya! So....just wondering if you're cool right now. The school knows about what happened, I always knew Susie sucked.", MK gave an angered glare just thinking about her,

"I-it's more complicated than that! S-Susie is....well for the sake of her privacy she's uh...not well. Really not well.", Noelle started,

"Yeah, a lot of us saw her being loaded onto stretcher through the windows, what the hell happened?", MK asked as he scratched his spikes running along his head with his long swishing tail,

"A-again I wouldn't want to say.....but she's not.....bad as you think, its just a r-rumour that happened! She d-didn't call me anything bad!", Noelle stammered, her heart beating fast, her mind screaming at her for telling such a bare-faced lie,

"Seriously? Aww man now I feel trashy, what's she like then? Barely any of us talk to her!", MK chuckled before stopping, "That's really bad isn't it...? No one talks to her? I thought she was scary and mean.",

"Well....she's uh....prickly but misunderstood! Yeah! Really misunderstood!", Noelle replied, "She's q-quite sick so.....she'll be off school for a while.",

"Come on! She's so lucky! School sucks!", MK pouted angrily, "Well if you see her, tell her that she's invited to handball with me!", MK smiled before standing and running along before stopping for a moment making Noelle tilting her head, "Noelle good luck.", MK smirked,

"W-what for?",

"Just saying she's going to be a tough nut to crack! Laters!", MK laughed with a encouraging smile before running off.

Noelle smiled sighed happily resting her hand again her knuckles, "Yeah.....I guess so....",she smiled to herself. Her confidence slowly growing, now at least she knew she had two true friends to rely on.

Catti and MK.

Noelle bit her lip raising her brow.

I wonder what Kris is doing?

💜💜💜

Kris sighed as he sat at the dinner table silently, scratching his fork against his plate, his mother sat across from him with a pained frown.

"Dear you must eat.", Toriel spoke softly,

"I've completely lost my appetite.", he sighed as he pushed his plate away in front of him, rubbing his head with his hand, "I...",

"Kris you didn't know. None of us did. You are not to blame my child.", Toriel calmly replied before setting her knive and fork on her near clean plate.

"Kris, you've helped her. She was bleeding out, and you saved her, despite breaking rules or lying to get out of class you knew something was wrong and you helped. I did not see why you are blaming yourself.",

"I....wouldn't you feel guilty if this happened to your best friend....?", Kris looked down into his palms and clenched them slowly, "I...should've asked before....I.....I knew she was always alone but.....doing that....it makes me sick! I...I could've done so much more! ", his anger flared,

"My child! Please calm down...!", Toriel rose her voice as Kris was now standing, his nails digging into the table.

Kris's shoulders shaked as Toriel pushed herself from the chair and walked to his side, gently placing her hand on his shoulder.

"I.....I want to help her. But I don't know how...", Kris mumbled.

Toriel sighed and rubbed his head gently before moving aside and walked to the fridge and pulled out a freshly baked Butterscotch Cinnamon pie out of it, "Let's give her a visit, she needs the company. I expect its a quite severe state she is in.",

"She is.....she.....whatever you do don't grab her elbow!", Kris suddenly shouted, Toriel's features contorting into a face of pure concern, "That....really sets her off....she cried mom...she isn't supposed to be like that....", Kris had his face lowered as his shoulders were slouched, he hated this. Susie needed someone better to take care of her. Not someone who shouts at her when she apologised for a mistake.

She hated him. Off course she would. Why wouldn't she?

💜💜💜

"Kris is cool.", Susie smiled tiredly, her arm connected to the I.V drip, stuck with thick black tape as she tried constantly to pull it out,"He's a good friend....", she responded to her worrisome mother, Susie's voice hoarse and even more rough.

A golden band around one of her pink fingers. Not for any emotional significance mind you, it just looked nice and if it came down to it she'd sell it for Susie's benefit.

Sarah looked down at her ill daughter, the colour drained from her cheeks and teeth a sickly yellow as always was. She wish she had money for toothpaste.

Her eyes also the same yellow but now sunken and tired. Unsurprising.

How could you expect someone to sleep if they only wailed and screamed through the night?

Susie could hardly slept and only did so if unconscious or drugged. Sarah had to constantly steal to make ends meets. She knew how monstrous her husband truly was, he was always a bit of a brute when they first met at high school. He was a meat headed jock back then and now he was a businessman, smart, intelligent.

But couldn't.....wouldn't of imagined him....doing that....to their sunshine.

Sarah was a inch from slicing his throat open when she finally snapped that one night.

"Get up you, stupid, stupid whore!", David snarled, teeth jagged and sparkling with dread as Susie cowered under the table, paper rolled up as he patted it lightly against his open palm.

He was tall, 2 meters tall in fact. All muscle and lean, a scraggly and unkempt stubble against his grey scales, brown fading hair as the purple child shaked under the small round table.

Susie felt his gaze as she shrieked being pulled out by her feet, she flailed and kicked screaming and screeching,"DADDY NOO! NONONONO! GET OFF OFF OFF OFF!", the pink tailed lizard screeched as her father slammed her to the wall, his figure cloaking her in shadow as his claws edged nearer her underside,snaking its way up her panties chosen by him.

There was a great clatter and shattering off glass as the table crashed to the ground. Susie watched between the gaps of her fingers.

Knife held aloft over her father as her mother growled and she swung, blood spilling, one eye gouged and he ran.

Sarah didn't let anyone know.

It was her and Susie's secret. She couldn't let anyone know. This would of destroyed any of chance of Susie's future. She needed one desperately otherwise she would only have her past.

As a mother. As Susie's protector she wouldn't let anyone know. No one would ever hurt her daughter she wouldn't let anyone get a chance.
