⤷ Karl ⤶

He slammed the door behind him, crying escaping his mouth as he covered it, tears fell at a rapid rate. He leant against the nearest wall next to the elevator. Karl could hear Nick yelling at the mystery man to get out and his cries.

The brunette felt terrible but yet again, he was the one who walked into Nick kissing another guy. The elevator opened, Karl stumbled in and clicked Level 3- He knew he couldn't drive in his state. The doors opened and he headed for one door.

He knocked on the door, tears falling down his cheeks. His eyes are already red and puffy. The door slowly opened to reveal a beanie-wearing boy.

As soon as Alex's eyes fell on Karl his smile dropped and he pulled him into the apartment and a hug. The brunette clung onto the Mexican tightly as he sobbed into his shoulder. 

No words were exchanged, all Alex knew was that Karl was in pain.

Quackity clung onto his friend for dear life, only wishing for his pain to go away. He sat down Karl onto his lounge and dashed to get him some water, returning only seconds later. The black-haired kid pulled his older friend into a hug once again and let him let it out.

He felt his heartbreak a million times over. He trusted Nick with all he had and the fact that he had fallen in love with the boy since their first romantic interaction made it even worse. He had never felt pain like this and he never wanted to feel it again. He thought he had become numb to heartbreak after Emma, but somehow this hurt worse than two years down the drain.

Karl would talk when he was ready.

⤷ Alex⤶

Alex didn't know what to say. Karl had spilled his guts in between his sobs and the young boy couldn't be angrier at his friend. Nick was a bastard for hurting the brunette. He knew of the struggles that he had to overcome to trust Nick and be with him but then he goes and pulls this shit?

Wait until Clay and George find out.

When Nick started to blow up his phone he had to mute it. Alex had no intention to talk to his 'friend' at the moment, not when his other friend was in pain. He had left Karl on the lounge asleep, he didn't want to disturb the boy so he had moved to his room.

His phone rang once again, Nick's number lighting up the screen. Alex frowned but picked up anyway.

"What?" He said without hesitation. Nick sniffled on the other end, his voice wavering.

"Alex! Please- you gotta help me-"

"No I don't, you hurt Karl, Nick!" He whisper-shouted, the last thing he wanted to do was wake up Karl.

"You know? Wait- that's not- Ugh! Listen to me Alex, I didn't kiss Jared!"

"So Karl didn't find another man on your lips, Nick?"
