Only one chapter today. Sorry guys.

I wake up an hour later to find myself sleeping with Gamzee. This time, though, he doesn't have his leg in my crotch. I move his hands away from around my waist and he groans a bit in his sleep, turning around.

I quietly get up and somehow manage to get over him and into my wheelchair. Wheeling out of the room I go fetch something to eat. I eat a regular breakfast and then go to wake Gamzee up. He has work and I have school. How early did that lady even come?

After waking up Gamzee I dress and pack my bag for school. I have time to kill and Gamzee has to leave soon. How I wish I wouldn't have to be alone so much. I decide to spend the spare time watching more TV.

I get to school all fine, not seeing any bullies around. I hang with my friends through the first few periods, but the trouble starts at lunch.

"Yo, Tav", I hear from behind and turn my head to see no-one else but Dave Strider walking to me with his lunch. He sits down next to me and looks at me.

"Heard you got over me", he starts. Oh god, I know this won't end well. "Who helped you?"

"W-what do you, uh, mean?" I ask a bit scared.

"How'd you do it? Are you with someone else now?" he asks and my gaze drops immediately down to my plate.

"Ha. I knew it. Is it Vriska? Or maybe some other boy", he starts to come up with the people I hate the most.

"Wait, I know. It's the juggalo freak, isn't it?" he asks and I tense, which actually gets him to smirk. "Knew it, you're with the juggalo."

"Shut up", I whisper, still staring at my plate.

"What was that? Couldn't hear you", he says, still smirking.

"Shut up", I repeat, but he acts like it was nothing.

"Oh, you want me to shut up? Standing up for your juggalo boyfriend? Oh wait, yes, you can't stand up", he smirks again and I feel the anger spark in me.

"I said shut up!" I yell and the whole cafeteria goes silent. "Don't you say another bad thing about Gamzee!"

"Hey there, no need to get upset. We all know he's a jug-"

I punch him square in the face and he falls back, dropping to the ground. I stare at him and he stares back shocked. Without another word I turn around and leave the cafeteria's silence, hoping I will just be left alone.

The next period no one approaches me and I'm very glad for it. Only on the last break does John come up to me.

"You gave Dave quiet the punch", he says smiling a bit. "Bet he didn't expect that."

I stay quiet, unsure if I should thank him or ask him to leave.

"You don't have to talk. We'll just keep quiet if you want us to", he says with a warm smile on his face. I can't believe he has been Dave's friend for so long, but is still so different.

"I don't k-know what got into me", I manage to say. "I-I didn't mean to h-hit him."

"Aww, Tav, don't cry. Please don't cry. I didn't mean it like that!" John says quickly and I feel tears starting to fall down.

"I-is he hurt?" I ask sniffing and dry my eyes, or at least try to.

"Nah, nothing bad. Just got scared out of his pants", John says grinning.

Wait, did he just say I scared Dave?

"What do you, uh, mean?" I ask frowning a bit.

"Well, he won't admit it, but the punch caught him off guard. Of course he didn't expect you to have that sort of power.

"B-but I didn't even, um, try to hit him hard", I admit and John gives me this weird, sort of shocked face.

"You didn't hit him with all you got?" he asks and I hesitantly nod. "Wow, that chair must give your arms an awesome work out. Well, anyways, Dave isn't hurt. Just like I said, he'll never admit it, but for a second it was there. He was pretty shocked."

I stay silent. I caught Dave off guard. Oh god. He must want revenge after that.

"Anyways, I have to go now. Last class is starting soon. Try to get home all right! Gamzee will be there for you", he says winking and I manage a small smile. With a wave of his hand he's gone in the sea of students and I'm left alone next to my next class. I really miss the time I could just run around school, not sit there like the worthless thing I am.

I'm just thinking the lesson won't ever end when the beautiful sound of the bells ringing announces I may leave. I pack my bag and hurry out of there before anyone can stop me and decide I don't want to take the bus. I'll wheel myself home.

My apartment isn't too far away, but it's still a long way for someone who's stuck in a wheelchair. Someone like me. I take a break after an unusually steep hill and look around. No one seems to be anywhere. It's like the whole neighborhood is dead. Well I don't mind.

I get home tired and just wanting to go to bed. I fumble with my keys for a bit, since the door is still locked. That must mean Gamzee's not home yet. I get inside, eat a small sandwich and get to the sofa, where I curl up into a ball and start sobbing.

It takes an hour before I hear the door open again, and by this point I'm not crying too much anymore. Some silent tears keep falling down my face, though.

"Sorry I'm late, Kan kept me overtime and then I dropped by the store to get some ingridients for food", I hear Gamzee from the hall and a sob racks through my body.

He goes to the kitchen and puts the food away before actually asking anything.

"Tav, are you here?" he asks a tad worried and I feel more tears stream down my face. Great. Get him worried too.

"Tavros?" he asks as he comes to the living room. He immediately notices me and approaches me, sitting down on the sofa. He pulls me into his arms and I start to cry again. He just holds me, whispering stuff in my ear I half understand.

"What's wrong?" he asks after I've calmed down enough to talk.

"I-I hit D-dave in school today", I answer and an angry expression crosses Gamzee's face.

"What did that motherfucker do to you this time?" he asks voice dangerously low.

"N-nothing to me. He, uh, c-called you a juggalo", I say and feel Gamzee's arms relax around me.

"Called me a juggalo, did he? And you went and hit him just for that?" he asks, actually sounding a bit amused.

"Y-yeah", I answer.

"So why are you all up and crying?" he asks rubbing circles on the back of my hand with his thumb.

"Because I hurt him", I say and Gamzee snorts.

"That's right for him", he says and the two of us fall into a silence. Gamzee grabs the remote, flipping the TV on and we continue the day by watching some TV.
