It's Not Your Fault

Karl shoots up out of his chair, hands gripped to his hair and still sobbing just a bit. "I need to go take a shower, to clear my head a bit." This wasn't exactly 'out of the ordinary', Karl would shower whenever he was stressed or worried about something. But just the shakey tone his voice was in made me... unsettled in a way. Karl ran off down the hall to the bathroom before I could ask anything of it. What made me even more uneasy is that Karl didn't grab a change of clothes for after his shower, which he normally would do. I decided to go and check on him. *knock*knock* "Karl.... You OK in there bb?" As I rested my ear on the door, I could hear muffled whimpers and it sounded like he was scrambling around, opening cupboards and stuffing stuff in. "y-yeah I'm f-fine." Karl sounded even more shakey then when he left for the shower, but then I realised.

"karl.... Karl, let me in... LET ME IN, NOW KARL, KARL PLEASE LET ME IN, PLEASE." Karl stood up and opened the door after me begging for five minutes straight. There he stood, his hoodie threw on the ground while he stood in his old, black t-shirt, fresh red lines on his wrists and tears in his eyes. "Alex... I'm so sorry. " I ran over and hugged Karl as hard as I could without hurting him. "Don't apologise, it's OK" "I just felt terrible and *sob* I didn't know *sob* what else to do." "ok how about we first of all bandage you up and get rid of whatever you used to cut yourself with then after, we watch a movie on the couch. Sound good?" "Yeah.... I'd like that a lot"

Sapnaps pov:
I arrived at my dads' house after a long and awkward uber drive with a very talkative driver. They wouldn't stop asking about my life and how things were even though I said before they left the pick-up spot that I didn't want to talk at all. I knocked at the door and waited for a minute or two before Bad opened it. When I saw Bad, I had broken down into tears. The last time I was here was when me, Karl and Quackity had a fight last. That was a big one. "Shh, It's okay my little muffin head. Partners fight sometimes but I'm sure you'll all get over this." "no, you don't get it Bad, this was a big one, bigger than last time." ( he calls his dads by their names because it's easier to understand then calling them both dad.) "I don't even think I'm going to be allowed home after that one." "oh god, SKEPPY START UP SOME COFFEE" Badboyhalo shouted to the kitchen while stirring me from the main door towards the living room. "ALREADY ON IT."

I was thinking to myself for a minute about what happened earlier with Karl while he slept. *was this his first time or had he done it before*. *who was at fault for the fight, was it me* These thoughts started to fill my head. "Nope, I gotta do something" I said outloud even though it was meant to be in my head, it wasn't loud enough to wake Karl though. I got up and went to make a coffee or something. I looked at the time and it was 10:17pm, we must have went to bed pretty early. I started the coffee machine up and to my surprise it was extremely loud. A few minutes later, Karl walks in. "Sorry baby, did I wake you up?" I said as I turned off the machine and picked up my coffee. "No but the machine did. Don't you think it's a bit late to be having coffee." "I Guess your right, I'm still gonna finish it though." That for some reason made Karl giggle, which was nice to see. We stood in silence for a few seconds. "Quackity..." "Yeah Karl" "Was it really not my fault." "Of course it wasn't, your head is just playing tricks on you. You should get to bed." "Your one to talk, you should-" "Practice what I preach?  I've heard that one before. But yeah, I'll get to bed soon." We both broke out laughing, that was the first time we've been happy all day.

"So do you wanna tell us what happened?" Skeppy said, coming in with 3 cups of coffee. "They thought I was cheating on them because I'm barely there, but in reality I was doing something that we would all benefit from." "Do you wanna tell us what that might be?" "I was working  9-5 hour shifts at a store across town." "But you already have a job, why would you need another one?" "Alright Skeppy that's enough." I started to tear up at the thought. "T-to pay off Engagement rings." I was broke down at this point. "Oh Sapnap, come here." Bad said pulling me into his arms, my head rested in the crook of his shoulder whilst I was sobbing my heart out. You see, Bad is the really understanding one, he leaves you be until you wanna talk and is my  go to shoulder to cry on. Skeppy on the other hand is the type of guy to ask you a bunch of questions before he can be sympathetic for you. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind the questions he asks but sometimes he digs a bit too deep and that's when Bad has to cut him off.
