AN: Hi everyone! Yes another story. I know. Ha!

This story has been in my head for a few days and won't leave. Its short but as usual it will get longer.

I always wondered what if Dave were transgender? So this is what came out. Honestly I don't really know the direction I wanna go for this story. I guess we will see when I continue it. :)

I have some ideas. The title comes from Kelly Osbourne's song "Come Dig Me Out". To be honest not in love with the title name. It may change soon. But for now this is the title.

Also this was inspired by another story on this site. I cannot remember the name but if I do I'll give credit to that person. But our stories are a lot different. That was a one shot. This will be a full story with twists and turns. If you like it, Please let me know if I should continue. Thank you! :)

Thank you to my support! :)

You all rock!

One thing to note for now. This is completely AU. What happened in season 3 to Dave doesn't happen in this story.

Ok I think that's all.

Enjoy! Be kind.

Chapter 1

"David! I know you hear me! Get up! Now! You're gonna be late!"

"I'm up, Ma! I'm up."

He groans. Another day. Just another day to get by. One more day. One more day of pretending.

"I hate school, she knows I have trouble in that place. Why does she make me go? Dave speaks to himself as he mentally prepares himself for the day ahead of him. It's the same for Dave every morning and every day. Toss and turn all night with nightmares and hardly get sleep. Check. Wake up. Check. Refuse to get out of bed for a good twenty minutes. Check. Face the inevitable that is his life and pretend like he doesn't want to crawl in a ditch and stay there. Check. Now all that was left was to go to the mirror to brush his teeth, brush his hair, get dressed and wipe the tired from his eyes and that was even a chore for Dave. He's so tired. His brain is practically mush. The nights are the worst. His head fucks with him.

He's not even gonna shower. No point. He doesn't like what he sees when he's not fully clothed. All his eyes see is a big fat blob of nothing. He is nothing. He's numb. He hates it. The longer he goes without bathing the less angry he will feel. Although eventually, he thinks to himself that he will have to take one soon. Just not today. He can't face his body. It hurts too much.

Dave stretches and yawns feeling and even hearing every muscle in his tired body crack and ache. He's young. He wasn't supposed to feel old and tired.

After he does that, Dave goes in his bathroom, switches the light on and looks in the mirror. He hates it. Absolutely hates the growing dark circles under his eyes. He hadn't been happy for a very long time. He can't say why. On the outside the world thinks he's happy all because he fakes a smile like the best of them.

Some days are better than others. This is not one of those days. Today feels like he's being sucked down a dark hole and he can't breathe.

He hates it.

"Dave!"

Dave hears his mother and he quickly pulls himself out of his thoughts to answer her. Like the trained son she wanted.

"Yes Ma!"

"Boy! If you don't get down here now! I'm gonna leave!"

She screams. She means it too. Dave mom is a perfectionist. Always on time. Never late.

Dave groans loudly then answers her.

"I'm coming!" He says as he quickly puts on whatever clothes are scattered on his floor. Then as he's done tying his shoes he quickly goes back to the mirror and takes one final hard look at what he sees. It nearly brings him to tears.

"This isn't me. This body isn't mine". He whispers quietly as a single tear slips out his left eye.

He quickly gathers himself, shakes off those feelings, throws on a fake smile and it as if he wasn't hollow inside. At least that's what he told himself.

Dave shuts off his bathroom light and goes downstairs to face the unknown day. His impatient mom already waiting in the car.
