Fixing Errors

Chapter twelve

Halluciv sighed... Then looked at Jam.
They'd talked for almost the whole time Reboot was passed out.
They knew Reboot wasn't going to be able to think or even process anything properly.
But they were sure on one thing they needed to talk about.
"Reboot, Eraser will come back here eventually. He's going to be insanely drunk and we can't have that."
Reboot looked at Halluciv curiously.
"Mom, we're not going to tolerate any excuses for why Eraser did it. This has to stop." Jam said without hesitating.
They both expected Reboot to freak out over it...

Though, Reboot only nodded, agreeing to what they said. He wasn't fully out of it... He could still understand what they meant.
"I should've done something years before... Nothing's been life threatening, though. This was to much."
Jam and Halluciv were surprised how quickly Reboot agreed...
They expected him to at least break down into tears.
"Eraser can't think this is okay." Reboot muttered.

Halluciv had kinda figured they'd all settle with a rehab or even a mental hospital... Maybe that's what Reboot was thinking?
But he at least seemed to want to do something, so Halluciv was hoping to leave it to him.

All three sat there quietly, in Reboot's room.
Jam held his mother close in a motherlike way on his bed and Halluciv stayed close beside.
Eventually Reboot came out of his shock state and then started sobbing his eyes out because of the pain he was in.

They all heard the door open and close hard.
Like Eraser's usual drunk entrances.
Halluciv's form changed quickly as he was filled with rage, he flung the bedroom door open, looking down by the door were Eraser was standing.
"Goddammit, you're here too." Eraser huffed.
Eraser saw Jam come out of the bedroom... But holding Reboot, who was clinging to him for dear life.
They saw how Eraser's eyes seemed to dull a bit, seeing Reboot's fear.

"Eraser, the relationship your giving mom is toxic. We can't let him live in the fear he always has of you." Jam growled.
Eraser's expression changed to pure anger, he didn't like being told these things.
Reboot hadn't ever complained or shown fear. It was Jam who was sick of him... At least, that's what Eraser thought.
Eraser started to go towards the stairs...
"ErAsEr TaKe AnOtHeR sTeP AnD I rIp YoU lImB fRoM lImb." Halluciv screeched.
Eraser stopped and stared up at Halluciv. "You don't live here, what authority do you have over me?"
Halluciv growled. "I'm speaking for my friend, your husband, who's too scared to even talk to you."
Eraser was used to the fear and this phase. "It always happens, he'll be over it tomorrow."

Eraser then started to continue walking up the stairs.
"ERAseR StOP, NOw." Halluciv screamed as he threw an attack right at him.
Eraser easily avoided it with his own power and scoffed. "You're not Reboot. You don't know what he's thinking or would say. Why are trying to tell me how he feels and now I should act?" Eraser asked as he stood in front of Halluciv.
As Eraser threateningly stood, staring down Halluciv, Jam saw and felt how Reboot started to try to move.
"Jam, I want to stand." Reboot murmured to him.
Jam held him to keep him up, but let Reboot stand as much as he could.
Eraser saw this and looked at Reboot, Reboot only looking straight down and avoiding eye contact.
Eraser began to speak. "You're overreacting Boots-" but was cut off. "Don't you dare call me Boots." Reboot snapped.

Eraser was extremely shocked with the snap. "I made it up. That's always been your nicknam-" "It can still be one, but I never want to hear it come out of your mouth again." Reboot again snapped at Eraser.

Eraser was still convinced that this was reboot being stubborn and overreacting. "You do realize this is to much?"
Reboot looked at him, but didn't make any eye contact. "How is this too much!? You and your friend raped me! The punishment for rape is death! Is yelling too much?!"
Eraser only stared and didn't answer.
