A/N no I don't own homestuck to much effort.
Your name is Jade Harley
You were positive nothing had changed since you slipped for a nap when you first fell asleep. But now you see a looming shadow in the kitchen and groaning? what's with the groaning jegus. You sat up and poked your bruises Nope not a dream you winced at the pain. "Well shit.." you mumbled, you could feel your heart beat faster, hearing the loud drum like beat in your ear. You hands began shaking all you could think was 'weapon'. You looked around the living room and spotted a shitty sword above the T.V Probably some anime memorabilia you thought to yourself, thank god for anime you silently praised.
Heading into the kitchen you did your best to be quiet. You hesitated by the wall pondering if you could still run. You gripped the sword harder, No stop running you told yourself. You took a deep breath inward and shook yourself out, what was going to happen? you had no clue, "here goes nothing" you sighed.
Letting out a battle cry, you swung the sword above your head preparing to defeat the monster once and for all, but you stopped. Just in time. Dave looked Surprised as hell you assumed if he wasn't wearing those shades his eyes would be as big as Texas itself, he was holding what once was a full glass of apple juice, if you hadn't known better you would have sworn he peed himself out of fright. Ok he could have done both. Slowly and jerkily you lowered you arms to your sides and retreated to the living room. Dave just stood there unable to move.
You threw the sword to the side of the room panicking. How am I going to explain this to some guy I just met like 2 days ago? You thought to yourself, you wanted to scream at yourself and punch yourself in the face for being such a FREAK, but mostly you wanted to hide and never come back. Your house was 2 hours away by walking you had no problem walking , but even so you didn't think you would want to leave like this. You plopped down on the couch and put you hands over your face. God what the fuck Jade, you were so paranoid of something that didn't even exist. Tears threatened to fall but somehow you couldn't cry, You could feel your eyes stinging but they refused to leave your eyes.
Dave slowly stepped towards you, He had changed from his old PJ bottoms into baggy sweat pants and a white tank, tight enough to just show some abs. You bit your lip and shook the cute fantasy scene that was about to happen in your head out. Of course he was still wearing the shades did that guy sleep with them or what? You almost wondered if they were super glued to his face.
He coughed awkwardly and placed himself beside you. "So.." he began facing towards you, more shame weighed you down, always fucking things up aren't you Jade? You thought to yourself. "I locked the door Jade no one could have gotten in." He said staring at you through his shades. You looked down at your socks focusing on anything but Dave. " No one's going to hurt you Jade, not in the strider house!" He said smirking a bit, Obviously over the initial shock. He must've thought you were worried about burglars'. Righttt you're not about to correct him on that one.
"Sorry for over reacting, Dave" you breathed a sigh of relief, at least he didn't think you were a TOTAL freak. "Let's forget this happened, deal?" Dave stuck out his hand. Without hesitation you shook his hand, and for the first time in a long time you smiled. Dave looked slightly shocked but said nothing. "Hey I bet I can beat you at Mario Kart" you said jumping up heading towards the GameCube. "Like hell you will" Dave challenged.
Dave drove you home later that night. He felt bad about leaving you on your own but you insisted on coming home, You did anyway have school the next day and you were in due for a shower. For the first time in a long time things felt a little better, That night you had a decent nights sleep no dreams at all. You felt happy again, your jaw started to hurt from smiling so much.
In the morning you managed to cover up most of the bruises on your face with make-up and dressed yourself in a long stripped shirt paired with leggings and boots. You didn't wear leggings all that much frankly you felt like a hypocrite but you thought you'd give them a try why not? No one looks at you anyway.
Entering the school was anxiety inducing enough on it's own. Crowds of people filled the hallway all in groups and you were well off to fend for yourself. Your stomach growled seems you forgot to have breakfast, usually you don't eat much in general but you always have breakfast without fail, except for today apparently. Today was going to be a long day, you thought as you shut your locker and headed to English.
