Error hummed softly as he walked through the school, his face buried in a book.

It was about ten minutes after school had ended and Error was just in the library a few minutes ago, checking out a book, since the school was technically open until four thirty even though classes ended at three forty five.

Walking through the school with your face buried in a book probably wasn't the best idea, since you weren't really able to see where you were going, but Error thought it was fine. No one else but a few teachers would be in the school anyway and he most likely wouldn't see any of them in the hallways at the moment so he was fine. The only thing he'd probably bump into is the door when he was on the way out if he didn't look up from his book on time, or so he thought.

Error walked down the stairs as was just passing his History Class, which was taught by Nightmare, when PJ suddenly came out of the room. Error, of course, didn't have time to react and move out of the way and ended up bumping right into the Jock. His glitches flared up and he fell back onto the floor, dropping the book his was reading.

PJ, who just got knocked back a few steps, looked down at Error. "Watch where you're going, Glitch!"

Error quickly grabbed his book and adjusted his glasses, scrambling to his feet. "I-i'M s-sOrRY! I-i d-diDn'T meAn tO bUmp I-iNtO yOu! I-I-i'LL jUsT bE oN m-mY w-Way!" Error stuttered, walking around PJ when he suddenly got pulled up in the air by his hoodie, making him yelp and glitch, kicking his feet around to try and get down.

"You didn't think I was going to let you leave, did you?"

Error kept kicking his feet around. "C-cOuLd y-yOu p-pleAsE leT mE gO...? I-i s-sAiD sOrRY a-aND i aM! I-i j-jUsT dIdn'T s-sEe yOu!"

PJ chuckled, "You really think I'm keeping you here for doing that? C'mon you're a nerd. You're supposed to be smart. I'm keeping you here because of this." PJ pulled a paper out of his pocket and slapped it on Error's face, the smaller skeleton wincing in pain and his glasses falling down his face a little, now lopsided.

"U-UhM, w-wHaT i-iS iT...?" Error asked, not being able to read the paper because it was pressed up against his face.

PJ pulled the paper back slightly so Error could look at it. "This is my history paper you were supposed to do and get me an A on! Instead of an A I got a C minus and now I can't play in Friday's game!"

Error flinched slightly; he had forgotten about that. He had been avoiding PJ through the week to avoid getting a beating and he had been successful in doing that until now. "I-i'M soRRy b-bUt t-tHeRe j-jUsT w-WasN'T e-enOuGH m-mAtErIal t-To p-pRoDUcE a-aNoThEr gOoD p-paPeR, e-eSpEcIalLY s-since wE hAD tHe sAmE tOpIc, a-AnD I-If I-"

PJ cut Error off by punching him right in the gut. "I don't want to hear your stupid excuses!" He growled angrily, Error gasping when he got punched and coughing up a fair amount of blood. He felt like he got the wind knocked out of him and was now gasping for air. "And now you got your fucking blood all over my jacket and clothes! Do you know how much this shit costs?!" Error didn't reply but he knew PJ was going to hit him again. Error dropped his book and quickly slipped his arms out of his jacket, the jacket slipping off of him and Error falling to the floor. Error quickly got up and ran as fast as he could, which wasn't very fast at all, down the hallway.

PJ scowled and dropped Error's jacket on the floor, waiting a few seconds until Error got around the corner before chasing after him. He liked to make his victims think they were safe and had gotten around before catching them.

Error managed to get pretty far and could now see the entrance of the school just down the hallway he was going down. He was going to make it. Error got about halfway down the hallway when he got yanked back by his shirt and fell down to the ground, with a yelp. No, no, no, no, no! He had to get away the entrance was right there! Right there! Error glitched and wiggled around staring to call out of help. PJ slapped a hand over Error's mouth, Error glitching like crazy and squirming from the contact, to silence him. "Shut up or I'll make this worse for you." He threatened, getting Error to go silent, tears already starting to pool in the smaller's eye sockets.

PJ dragged Error to a more isolated part of the school and threw him back into a wall. Error hissed in pain and crumbled to the ground, putting on hand down and trying to get up, only to get kicked in his ribcage by PJ and fall back down. Error held his side and backed away from PJ the best his could, the taller laughing at the look of fear on his face. "I've barely even started and you're about to cry! You're so weak!"

Error whimpered slightly, "p-p13@$£ 1-lÉT m-M3 g-gØ¡ I-1'M $0rR¥! 1-1'łŁ d-dØ b377Ér ñ3x7 7įMê! J-jÙŚ7 płÈ@$£ łÈt m3 g-G0!" Error pleaded, his voice glitching a lot more since he was in a panic and too close to PJ.

PJ glared down at Error and kicked him in the stomach, the smaller skeleton coughing up more blood and letting out a small scream of pain, gasping for breaths of air as he held his stomach. "Sorry won't get me to play in Friday's game, now will it? You knew about the game and still gave me that shitty paper! Was that your plan all along, huh? To ruin my chances at becoming a football player?" PJ asked, not giving Error a change to reply and stomping down on his ribcage, causing a few to snap and break.

Error or tout a scream of pain as tears started falling from his eye sockets and running down his cheek bones. He held his side tightly and weakly tried to move away from PJ, which just got him grabbed by his arm and pulled him in the air. PJ dug his fingers into Error's arm, a small bit of blood going down the smaller's arm. PJ grabbed Error by his skull with his other hand and slammed his head back against the wall. Error let out the loudest, glitchiest scream ever as he felt his skull crack and large amounts of blood start to come from his skull.

PJ grabbed Error by his neck and started to choke the smaller skeleton. At this point, Error couldn't even struggle. He was too weak. All he did was let out small noises from being choked as he vision got blurrier and things started going darker and darker by the minute.

Fresh, Who had just came in the school a minute ago to retrieve some papers he had left in his Astronomy Class, heard Error's scream and quickly dashed over towards the sound. He stopped when he got there, his eyes widening as he saw his best friend and crush being choked by PJ. He quickly ran up and hit PJ straight in the side. PJ, obviously didn't expect to get hit out of no where and yelped in surprise, dropping Error to the ground. "RUN!!" Fresh screamed to Error, Who somehow managed the strength to pull himself up off of the ground and started running with his injuries. His stomach hurt, his ribs ached, his arm stunned, his head was pounding and yet he still managed to make it out o the school, collapsing on the ground as soon as he got out.

Fresh was just about to run after Error when his leg got grabbed by PJ, causing him to fall to the ground. "Where do you think you're going?" Fresh instantly panicked and searched for a way out before realizing what he could do. PJ had one of his legs but he didn't have the other. Fresh quickly used his other leg and kicked PJ straight in the balls, the Jock letting Fresh's legs go and falling to the ground. Getting kicked in the balls hurt.

Fresh took this opportunity and scrambled to his feet, running out of the school as fast as he could. When Fresh saw Error, he quickly lifted him up off of his face. "Error? Error?! C'mon wake up!" He frantically shouted, papping at Error's cheeks. When Error didn't wake up, Fresh quickly pulled his phone out and called 911, feeling them the problem and their location. Fresh picked Error up and dragged him over to large bush, hiding int it with Error just in case PJ came out of the school. Luckily, when PJ did he quickly ran off.

About five minutes later, multiple police cars and an ambulance came to the front of the school. Fresh pulled Error out of the bush and shouted to get their attention. Two doctors rushed over with a stretcher and set Error on it, purring the stretch in the back of the ambulance. Fresh hopped in the back of the ambulance and sat down, in the corner, watching as the doctors stopped Error's bleeding and everything.

Five more minutes later, they arrived at the hospital. Fresh hopped out of the ambulance as they rushed Error inside emergency room. Fresh tired to follow them, but of course, he got stopped as was told to wait in the waiting room. Fresh did as he was told and sat down in the waiting room, calling Error's Mom to keep their know what happened.

About and hour later, the doctor came to Fresh and let him know visitors were allowed in. Of course, CQ went to see Error first since he was her son. When CQ finished seeing Error, Fresh quickly rushed in the room, stopping when he got inside. He sat down in a chair beside the bed Error was laying in. Fresh looked at Error who had bandages wrapped around his skull and ribs, which couldn't be seen because of his shirt, and an IV in his arm. He glanced over at the soul rate monitor which was monitoring Error's soul rate. His soul rests seemed pretty steady but Fresh was afraid it would suddenly flatline and Error would dust right in front him.

He took Error's limp hand and intertwined their finger's, squeezing the other's hand. "Please be okay...."

——————

About two weeks passed and Error still hadn't woken up. At this point, Fresh was super worried. He had barley left the hospital. He spent most of his time in Error's room, only leaving to use the bathroom or eat. He barley got any sleep because of this too. He'd spend his nights watching over Error just in case he woke up.

Fresh laid his head down on Error's bed as he continued to watch the sleeping smaller, some tears starting to from in the corner of his eye sockets. He was starting to think Error was never going to wake up. He didn't know what he'd do if that happened. Fresh took Error's hands and held it, squeezing the other's hand as he did everyday. "Error... please wake up... It's been two weeks and I'm more worried now... Worried that you won't wake up... I don't know what I'd do without you... You're my best friend and I can't lose you... I never even got to tell you my feelings for you... I never got to tell you I love you..." Fresh murmured softly, putting his head down as tears rolled down his face. He didn't expect to hear a reply.

"i-I... lOvE yOu t-tOO, F-fResH..." Error replied, his voice very soft and weak at the moment.

Fresh gasped and looked up. "Error...?"

Error gave a tiny smile. "h-HeY fResH.."

Fresh got on the bed and hugged Error close, feeling more tears roll down his face, though, he ignored them. Error hugged Fresh back a little, wincing slightly since Fresh was squeezing his broken ribs a little. "f-FreSh y-yOu'RE sQuEEzInG mY rIBs"
Fresh quickly loosened his grip on Error so he wasn't hurting him. "Heh, sorry" He apologized. "iT's aLrIgHt." Error replied, wiping at Fresh's tears.

"I was so scared you wouldn't wake up. You've been out for two weeks now. I didn't know what I'd do if you didn't wake up. You're my best friend and I love you as more than that and I don't-" Error cut Fresh off by pressing their teeth together for a small moment before pulling away. "yOU doN'T nEEd tO woRRY anYmOre, okAy? i'M fIne. I JusT nEEd tO reST a LiTTlE mOrE anD gEt mY sTreNgtH baCk. i'M wOrRiEd aBoUt yOU thOugH. YOu LoOK reAlLY tIrEd."

Fresh laughed a little and wiped at his eye sockets. "Don't worry about me! I'm alright! I just didn't get much sleep."

Error moved close to Fresh and looked at him closely. "dId yOu stAy AwAkE For tHoSE tWo wEEks I wAs asLeEP wAtChIng mE?"

"Pfft- No! No! I slept!"

Error stared at Fresh for a good minute before slapping his cheek gently. "yOu'Re a HoRrIbLE lIar! yOu nEEd SlEEp! yOu lOoK lIkE yOu cOuld pAsS oUt aNy mInutE nOw!"

Fresh chuckled and nodded, nuzzling Error, who nuzzled him back and snuggled into his chest. Fresh wrapped his arms around Error and kissed his forehead. "I love you, Error."

"I lOvE yOu tOo, FrEsH"

Fresh yawned and closed his eye sockets slightly. "I'm still worried. I feel like when I wake up you're gonna be dust." Fresh murmured, hugging Error closer.

Error laughed a little. "i'M nOt gOnnA bE dUst wHeN yOu wAkE Up! I waS fInE tHose tWo wEeks I wAs AsLeep, rIgHt?"

"Well, yes."

"thEN i'Ll bE fInE TonIght aNd In tHe mOrninG!"

"You promise?"

"yeS, I pRomIse! noW, tHat i'vE pRomIsed thAt. gO tO sLeep, yOu gOoF!" Error said, kissing Fresh on the cheek.

Fresh chuckled and nuzzled Error before closing his eye sockets. "Heh, okay."
