His head bounced off the wall and spun, but so did he, sending his foot flying towards her head. I wiped some blood away from the bridge of my nose, where my cut from before had been driven open again by the force of my glasses digging into my face, and tried to move forward to help. Tassek just stood there. HE JUST STOOD THERE.

It hit her. She stumbled backwards. She caught herself using the wall behind her. Her eye hurt like hell, and she felt something on her lip. She wiped it on her hand. Blood. Well shit. She moved forward again, grabbing a fist full of his hair and slamming his head into the wall.

There was a crack and he went limp. Oh God. Oh God, is he dead? Is she alright? Where's Pluto? WHY ISN'T TASSEK DOING ANYTHING?! I made a sobbing noise and stumbled towards Tassek, grabbing him by the collar with one hand, punching him in the gut with the other, and tossing him out of the apartment. Halfway through, my sob turned into a laugh. It felt /so good/ to finally do this to him after all the shit he'd put me through. How would /you/ like it if I went and stuck a branding iron on your hands?! Because that's what it felt like!! THAT'S WHAT IT FUCKING FELT LIKE!!! ...no, stop this, this is /wrong/. Wrong? No. It's justice, he deserves this. If he ever touches me, I'll do this again. He'll kick me out! He's been looking for an excuse! DO I CARE?! NO! FUCK HIM! I'LL DIE ON THE STREETS OF A BAD BATCH OF DRUGS IF THAT'S WHAT IT TAKES TO GET AWAY FROM HIM!

He went limp. She dropped him like an infant. She took a few feet back, and pressed her hand to her mouth. Then it hit her. OH SHIT. ZA-Her phone vibrated in her pocket. She took it out Of course it was him. She answered it. "Hello?" She answered.

"What happened?! Are you alright?? It was not that blonde woman, was it??"

2015-09-19 04:43:57

●

"Zane it's alright. Calm down." She tried to sound calm herself. "I'm fine I just..." Oh what's something he'll believe. "I just fell down the steps. I'm fine now. I'll be okay. Are you alright?"

2015-09-19 04:45:25

🌀

"The...the steps? Are you sure...? But how do you get a black eye from falling down stairs...."

2015-09-19 04:46:55

●

"I do wear heels...and I can be a bit clumsy sometimes. I promise you it's nothing serious." A terrible lie, but it should work.

2015-09-19 04:49:02

🌀

I could almost feel him frowning. "............I am okay, then. Are you really sure?"

2015-09-19 04:51:06

●

"Yes. I'm positive." She looked up. Oh. Well shit. Looks like Seculus finally stood up to Tassek. "I gotta go, okay?"

2015-09-19 04:52:48

🌀

"Okay, fix the stairs and stop wearing high heels in the house, please. G-goodbye!"

2015-09-19 04:54:26

●

"Will do. Bye." She hung up the phone and slid it back into her pocket.

2015-09-19 04:55:20

🌀

I panted a little, clenched and unclenched my fists, and debated whether to kick him while he was down and then slam the door in his face. No. He has the key. And that will just make him angrier. But it would be /so worth it/. Instant gratification, Seculus. Don't give in to it. It's not like you'll be around much longer to get the lasting stuff though, so what's the point? Ivory and Anndrea are the point. As long as they're still around, you're not killing yourself. Do you want to make them cry? No, but........

2015-09-19 04:58:09

Ivory moved forward, taking Seculus's hands into hers. "It's alright." She calmly spoke. "No one is going to hurt you." She looked at his cut. "Lets get that taken care of."

I reached up to push up my glasses and my hand came away bloody. ...oh. I'd almost forgotten about that. But this was more important. I looked down at the hunched boy trying to catch his breath. The boy I used to care so much for, that I was so set on protecting. What was I ever thinking? I let go of her hands, slammed the door shut, then went and got a barstool from the kitchen, propping it up under the doorknob. I'd at least have a little time. A little time.

Better. Much better. With one hand, she took his again. With the other, she gently pulled his glasses off his face. She sat him down on the couch, and quietly retrieved a first aid kit, glasses still in her hand.

2015-09-19 05:10:29

🌀

I blinked and heard swearing from the hall. Don't listen to him. He doesn't matter. You don't matter. Nothing matters. Of course I had to tear open an old wound. No fresh scars for me, just rubbing salt right into old ones, ha. I didn't protest or move.

2015-09-19 05:17:45

●

She returned with the first aid kit, ignoring the yelling outside. She sat down on the couch, and got to work on treating his wound. "I'm sorry you had to deal with that. " She quietly spoke.

2015-09-19 05:23:11

🌀

"No, I'm sorry they came at all. I could've warned you earlier. Are you really alright?" I spoke softly as well. I'd let out all of that rage and now I just felt empty inside.

2015-09-19 05:25:53

●

"I'm fine. Zane was worried, but I'm alright." She dabbed some antibiotic cream on his wound. "It's my fault this happened anyway."

2015-09-19 05:27:42

🌀

"It isn't. Not at all. Whatever you did to Brielle, I'm sure it was justified."

2015-09-19 05:28:40

●

"I uh...sorta yelled at her for hurting Ren. And me. Both? I guess."

2015-09-19 05:30:12

🌀

I nodded a little. "....that's definitely justified."

2015-09-19 05:31:28

●

"...I guess it is." She took his hand again. "Are you okay, though?"

2015-09-19 05:34:05

🌀

I remained silent. What would I do now? There was no way I still had a place to live at this point. I wouldn't even blame him for kicking me out. This cut reminded me of the scar I had before all this. Before everything, when all I had to worry about was getting Tassek to date Terezi and trying to convince Josette that God was real. Stupid me. What good did any of that do? "..............yes."
