Is This Real?

Chapter 19

Quackity POV:

Quackity has isolated himself from the world. Ever since that night with Karl, he refused to leave his home.

His heart ached worse than it has ever before, and he spent his days crying.

Today was the same as every other day before. Quackity was laying on his bed with tear filled eyes, just staring at the wall, thinking of what could've been.

"It's hard to see you like this you know." Someone said, which cause Quackity to jump up and pull out a knife from under his bed. He turned around and pointed it to the person who was speaking.

His eyes were still blurry from the tears, but once they cleared up, he saw Sam standing there.

"S-Sam" Quackity said with a sniffle

Sam looked down at the knife in Quackity's hand and lowered it.

"Sorry to scare you Mr. Q." He spoke

"What are you doing here?" Quackity asked

"To check on you. I have been for the past few days now, but I didn't want to intrude." Sam replied, "But it's just too much to bear. Seeing you like this is too much to bear."

Quackity just stared at Sam for a while, trying to process what he just said.

"You've been watching me?" Quackity replied dumbfound

"Yes." Sam replied with a straight face.

Quackity doesn't know how to respond, and just moves on.

"Alright, well why did you say heartbreak then? How would you know what I'm feeling?" Quackity says a little defensively.

He wasn't trying to rude to Sam, but he isn't in a good place either and Sam knew that.

"I know everything Mr. Q." Sam says "Why don't we go for a walk and talk? I'm sure you need to get out of the house." Sam finishes and holds his hand out for Quackity to take.

Although Quackity rather stay home and mope, he knows he needs a break from it and takes Sam's hand.

They walk together in silence for a while, until Sam stops walking.

"Hey why did we stop?" Quackity asks looking up to Sam and then realizing where they were.

"This is one of my favorite spots to watch the sun go down. It's just perfect." Sam replied.

Quackity was still astonished by the view.

They had been on top of a mountain that overlooked everything.

"Sam this is beautiful, holy shit." Quackity said while still looking around.

"That's not why I brought you here though." Sam sys looking at Quackity. "What happened to you Mr. Q, what happened that's had you so heartbroken?" Sam said softly, still holding Quackity's hand.

Quackity's eyes teared up again, and he laughed.

"It's nothing really, I just had a moment with someone and then got rejected." Quackity said looking down towards the ground.

"I had been wanting to be with them for so long you know." He continued, "It's just hard, I should've known."

Quackity continues to talk to Sam about all his feelings, everything that he had been holding in had come out, and he couldn't stop it. Sam listened and made sure to comfort Mr. Q while he was talking about everything.

Quackity continued to open up to Sam about things he didn't even realize he felt, and know Sam knew everything, but Quackity was okay with that.

"Thank you for listening to all of this Sam." Quackity said wiping tears from his eyes. "You've helped me with so much, and I just keep adding more to your plate."

"No Mr. Q, it's okay. I love being here for you, you're never a burden here okay?" Sam said to Quackity with a smile.

They both stared at each other for a while in silence, just appreciating each other company.

"Thank you, Sam, really. With all seriousness, you're one of the best people I have met." Quackity says to break the silence.

Sam smiles at him "Thank you for opening up to me."

They both smile at each other and look towards the sun.

"It's about to set." Quackity says

"Good observations Mr. Q." Sam says with a slight giggle, which made Quackity playfully punch him and laugh as well.

"It's nice to hear your laugh. I've missed it." Sam says still looking at the sun.

Quackity stares at Sam.

Sam really has been the only one that has stuck with him through all of this.

Quackity lunges at Sam and engulfs him in a hug. Sam was taken back by this gesture, but immediately hugs Quackity back.

Quackity squeezes Sam tightly and says, "Thank you for staying with me."

Sam tears up slightly and squeezing Quackity back in response.

They stay like that for a while until Quackity let go and smiled at Sam, to which Sam smiled back.

"Let's watch the sunset. It always looks amazing up here." Sam said while sitting down on the edge of the cliff.

Quackity sits right next to him and leans his head on Sam's shoulder, and in response, Sam wrapped his arm around Quackity.

"I love you Sam" Quackity says, still looking at the sun set.

"I love you too Mr. Q." Sam said back and squeezed Quackity a little, which made them both laugh, and they continued to sit there together and watch the sun set.

ANYWAYS hope you guys enjoyed, and the festival chapter will be soon!
