Silence | Karlnap

Chapter 15

Karls POV
Im so stupid- I shouldn't have pushed him away. Why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why

Banging.

Loud banging.

I looked to the front door of my home, I wasn't expecting any guests. I slowly walked to the door, turning the nob.

There he was, with Amelia. He had bruises on his arms, and a small scar on his face. I looked at myself, not knowing if this was real or not.

I looked to the left of Nick, Amelia was standing with something in her hand. It was a knife? A knife? What? Why?

I saw a large flash then she was right beside me, Nick still staring.

I felt the tip of the blade touch my neck, I didnt know what was happening.

This cant be real? No, no. Not again! Please.

I cried for help, for someone to come to me but I failed. I felt sick, my vision became blurry.

I woke up in my bed, i was fine. It was only a dream. I looked down at my hands, to make sure I wasn't hallucinating. My room was dark, I couldn't see much. I turned the light on, squeezing my eyes shut due to the sudden lighting change. All my mind could think about was Nick.

Its happening again. I thought he hurt me. Why do I love someone so much who hurt me? Someone who left me all alone? Someone who knows barely anything about how I really feel. He knows I love him, but nothing else. He doesn't know why I was crying that day.

He doesn't know why I invited Alex over.

Why I was crying on the phone.

He doesn't know me at all.

Am I selfish?

Nick is hurting.

This is your fault.

You should be helping him.

Stop drowning in you sorrows.

Without your friends you have no one.

You will be alone forever.

You need them.

Your letting them slip away.

My phone started ringing.

I grabbed it looking at the name.

Alex ! :)

I answered.

"Hello?"

"Karl, have you heard from Nick? He isn't responding to my messages at all. He always responds quick."

"I was on the phone with him yesterday, and I.."

You cant.

"I talked to him for a bit, but he hung up because Amelia was talking to him."

"Do you think he's okay? Could you try calling him?"

I sighed.

"I will try."

"Thank you!"

I hung up, quickly calling Nick.

He answered but the voice was unfamiliar?

It wasn't Nick.

It was Amelia.

"Why the fuck are you calling Nick again?"

I heard Nicks voice in the background asking for her to stop, his voice sounded different, it was barely a whisper. He sounded scared.

"Can you put Nick on the phone please?"

I heard shuffling, then I heard Nicks voice.

"Nick are you okay? You haven't responded to an-"

"Karl, please. I need someone here, shes hurting me. I've tried to call the police, but it doesn't help."

"Where are you?"

"My house. I know this is sudden, I just- I-"

I heard Nicks voice get quieter, then I heard Amelia.

The phone call was over.

I immediately called Alex.

"Alex, where are you right now?"

"Im in Mexico, wait why?"

"Shit. Okay, I can explain later I need to go."

"Wait what abou-"

I hung up.
