A Mess It Grows

You walked down the halllway of the corridor and followed the directions Dave gave you. Go straight... and make a left... a-ha! there was-

The voice inside your head was cut short when you where pushed up against the wall by a tall blonde with strange- Holy shit this was the guy from last night. What was his name again? Bro? Whatever. That didn't matter, but what did matter was you were being crushed by him.

"Hey! get off of me asshole!"

"Shut up, and listen." The blonde lifted a hand and grabbed your chin so you where facing him. You thrashed around in his grip, trying to escape but it was helpless. You reluctantly gave up and finally looked him in the...shades?

"Hurt my brother one more time, and we'll see where you'll be sleeping." He said, spitting on you. You growled through clenched teeth and started to wiggle around again. This only made him tighten his grip and he pushed you harder against the wall. "Got it?" "yes..." You hissed through clenched teeth. He nodded, and let go of you.

You bent down to pick up the tray of plates and crumbs and just as you where about to go on with your task, he pushed you to the ground and the clatter of glass was heard.

"Learn your place, low-blood."

Oh gog, you hated him so fucking much.

You pulled yourself up from the ground and sighed. Some-how you had to clean this up, and shattered glass was all over the floor. You could feel tears threaten to fall out of your eyes but you held them back. Crying won't help anthing Karkat. Stay strong.

You used your shoe to sweep all the remains into a small pile, and pulled down your shirt to make a bowl/pouch. Carefully, you took the glass into your "Pouch" and carried it to the door at the end of the hall. You used your forehead to lightly knock on the door and a girl with short pointed blonde hair opened it.

"I um... I accidentlly broke it, uh, sorry." The girl frowned and turned around to grab a bag and some gloves and shoved the glass into the bag. "You can leave now." She said in an unamused tone. You nodded and bowed, and she snorted. Where you not supposed to bow?

You scurried back to Dave's room and knocked on his door. No response.

You knocked again. Still no response. Oh crap, what do you do?

You turned around and leaned against thedoor, your breathing starting to become panicky. You didn't want to come face-to-face with Bro again, so you slide down to the floor and curled up in a ball. Jegus fuck you where an emotional train wreck today.

a few minutes later the sound of two voices echoed from down the hall and you lifted your head. Once they turned the corner you mentally smiled to yourself that it was Dave but he was with someone else. It was looked like a female version of Dave almost. christ.

They reached the door and Dave smirked and waved at you and turned to the girl. "Well, I'll see you at training later. See ya Rose." "And same to you, brother." Rose said and looked down at you with a small smile and walked away.

Dave crouched down next to you and a slight frown was on his face. "Are you okay?" He asked. "Yeah, why wouldn't I-" You stopped short when he touched your face and wiped what seemed to be tears? Wait, you where crying? since when?

You wiped your face of your tears and he gasped. "What?" He pointed to your hand and that's when you saw at least a hundred mini cuts. "What have you been doing to yourself?" He ask demandingly. "I-I... it was the glass!" You tried to sy. He just held a poker face and slowly shook his head. He sighed and got up, holding a hand out for you to help yourself up. You took it, and he walked into his room and an awkward silence fell upon you two.
