Gamzee had gotten up the next morning and stretched. He had almost forgotten he had spent the night in a motel. Where else would he spend it and get a wonderful night's sleep? A convenience store? Ha! What a joke.
After getting showered and grooming himself once more, he set out to find Nebraska. It was definitely going to be a big challenge, since there seemed to be no street signs for miles on end, but he kept himself motivated.
I can't believe I've walked this motherfuckin far in a short period of time. And I all up and saw one of the best motherfuckin miracles ever too. he'd often think as he passed by a beautiful waterfall, pond, or river. He'd remind himself of all the amazing things he'd done in the past few days, and he was only in middle school. He smiled to himself.
I bet I showed dad that I wasn't a worthless piece of shit. I'm so motherfuckin happy that I could prove myself to him. he thought. And then, he stopped. His smile faltered.
Dad probably doesn't probably even motherfuckin care that I'm gone...
He walked over to a nearby forest along the highway and sat on a tree stump. See, there were more side affects to going on for days without his medication. Gamzee was prone to having terrible anger episodes, and they often caused the destruction of something in his house.
And he could feel one coming on right now.
His palms were sweaty and his hands shook. He gripped the stump with all of his will, and tried not to destroy anything. He started to get dark, terrible thoughts about what he wanted to do about his neglectful dad. Suddenly, his head shot up and he bared his teeth. This marked phase three of four of his typical rage fits. Gamzee ran over to a tree and punched and kicked as hard as ever.
"I motherfuckin hate you dad!" he screamed as he clawed mercilessly at the tree.
And then, something snapped in his brain. It was a memory of one of his conversations with Nepeta.
Gamzee, it's okay... shhhh... she had said while he raged over the phone. Somehow, her constant shooshing had managed to calm him down. He thought of Nepeta's calming voice as he began to calm down even further. He walked right back over to the stump, sat back down, and fell asleep. He was happy once again.
I know, short chapter! I'm sorry T.T
