    Summary

    "Why do you push me away?" Sal questions.
    Travis replies gently, "Because you shouldn't help me. Of all people, really, Fisher. Why do you reach your hand out to me?"

    "Because you're in pain, Travis. It hurts me to see another person struggling."

    "We're not even friends."

    "But we can be."

    Summary

    The story is still in the works, and I tend to add whatever comes to mind as the story goes, so I honestly have no idea where I'm going to go with this.

    "Travis scoffed to himself. Help? Nobody could help him, he was hopeless, an emotionless monster. He'd hurt Sal just for a laugh, and he knew it was wrong, too, yet did it anyway. It wasn't fair how free Sal was, not when he dyed his hair and wore those clothes, he was a freak. So why was he so happy? And why did everyone seem to love him so much? Travis did everything he could to be the perfect son in his father's image. He'd go to church, maintain good grades, do his chores, follow any order his father gave him, and try to turn people towards god, so why did he still feel so miserable?"

    Warning, this fic contains(and mentions quite often):
    -Abuse
    -Internalized homophobia
    -Homophobic slurs
    -self harm mentions

    If you are someone who gets triggered by physical abuse, please read with caution, as the abuse happens in the majority of the chapters, and the last thing I want is someone getting triggered. Please take care<3

    Lastly, this is my first fic on AO3, so I'm still figuring out how everything works!!

    Summary

    Travis doesn’t remember falling from a roof. In fact, he doesn’t remember anything. When he wakes up in the hospital, all he knows is that his entire life has been wiped clear from his memory. Who is Travis Phelps? The answer is increasingly unclear as he navigates Nockfell High school, the place he supposedly attended the past few years. Some of the people he meets hold an obvious disdain for him, others are terrified. The more he learns about himself the more the question begins to shifts— who was Travis, and who will he become?
    Based on the book Restart by Gordon Korman.
    I have been getting back into Sally face again recently but it’s been my special interest since the release of episode 2 so I decided I need to finish the fic I started.
