deception (Karl Jacobs)

Chapter thirty one
Teegan's pov

I sat by my bedroom window and watched Karl as he sat on my front steps, I was hoping he was leaving soon so when the pizza guy gets here he doesn't just see a random guy at my steps. Karl was being absolutely childish right now..which is why I left, I couldn't keep talking to him, it's like he couldn't decide if he was over me hiding Sulley from him, or not, he was really bad at communicating. I picked up my phone and called Mia, maybe she could help me out. "Hi Mi.." I mumbled as Mia picked up,
"HI T! YOURE USING YOUR PHONE!" She said very happily and loudly, I chuckled, "Yeah I am...listen I need to talk to you, Karl's sitting at my door step.." I began, Mia gasped, "Do you need me to call the garbage company to pick him up?"
"Come on Mia don't.." Chandler spoke from beside her and I couldn't help but chuckle.
"I don't know what to do Mi. He isn't leaving, it's been almost half an hour and I have pizza that should be here any minute." I looked out the window again and Karl was blankly staring at the road.
"What does he want?" She asked me, I shrugged,
"He apologized on text, but got defensive right after so I blocked him, then I thought he was my pizza so I went outside and he was here, and I gave him a bunch of shit.." I explained to her, Mia sighed,
"You should invite him in. Have pizza with him."
I furrowed my eyebrows, "Why would I ever-"
"Teegan, you two need to be adults and communicate, talk about everything that happened, even if its all over the place, and you two yell, or cry, or have sex. Or all of the above, it needs to happen, or else I don't think you should expect anything to be fixed any time soon..And I know you keep saying you don't wanna see him ever again..but I know you T. You've never liked a boy like this before, even if its all messy." Mia made me feel a-bit better, and I knew she was right. "But if you're not ready yet thats okay. Keep flirting with whats his face..oh wait he doesn't show his face, you know who i'm talking about.."
"We do not flirt!" I denied, Mia chuckled, "He does. Anyways, figure it out babe, let me know what happens, im here if you need me, Chandler and I are just watching a movie.."
"Okay thanks Mi, I love you, Bye Chandler!" I shouted, "Bye!" I hung up the phone and looked outside my window again, Karl now held the pizza box in hand, and then I heard my doorbell ring.

I made my way downstairs and opened the door slowly, Karl shot me a soft smile as he held up the box of pizza. "I paid this for you..i'm sorry for just sitting here..i'm going home now.." Karl handed me the box and I took it, watching him as he walked back to his car, "Wait.." I mumbled, Karl turned immediately, "Did you say something?"
"Yeah..I said wait..do you want to come inside..?" I stepped away from the door, allowing him to walk inside, he rushed in and shut the door, both of us making our way onto the couch.
"We have to talk..like adults.." I stared into his grey blue eyes, Karl nodded, "I know we do."
"Tell me..would you rather talk right now..or just pretend nothing ever happened and we have pizza and watch death note..?" I raised an eyebrow, karl smiled widely, nodding his head, he then began to shake it, "No, what the heck, we need to talk..right? Thats the right choice.." I nodded in agreement, opening up the pizza box and grabbing a slice.

"So why did you start hating me..?" Karl asked as he took a bite of pizza, I picked up my phone, "This tweet." I opened my camera roll and opened up the screenshot of the tweet one of my viewers sent me when we had begun streaming, Karl looked up at me and shook his head, "I never tweeted that. I don't even think i knew who you were at the time, what the heck.." Karl's eyes seemed confused,
"Well its weird because you said I did the same thing but I never did that..this tweet is what made me start not liking you and replying to your stuff.." I explained, I took another bite of my pizza and he furrowed his eyebrows, "Why would someone send this to us..if we didn't even know each other.." He mumbled, I shrugged, "I don't know.."
"Maybe i still have the old dm on my twitter.." Karl picked up his phone and began scrolling, searching for the old conversation, "Bingo!" He shouted as he found it, he began typing, he then showed me the text.

@karljacobs_: Why did you send me a fake tweet about Sulley hating on me a few years ago?

"Was this really it? All along? We hated each other because someone else convinced us to.." I looked up at Karl's eyes and he nodded, "I think so.."
"I never watched your live streams Karl.." I bluntly said, "I resented you for growing viewers and not liking me..so I never watched your streams..I just replied to your tweets and posts because I was angry.." I admitted to him, Karl grinned,
"I did the exact same..what the honk is wrong with us.." I chuckled, "I dont know..we're idiots aren't we?" He nodded, "I wish i did though..maybe we would've become friends sooner.." He mumbled,
"Maybe then we could've become friends..and then i would've trusted you to meet you, and none of this would have ever happened..and we'd be even closer than we were.." I let my imagination run, I really wish it went down that way, instead of down hill like this. "I wish that could've happened like that too." He smiled at me, Karl's phone chimed and both of glances looked down at it.

@sulleyjacobss: O MY GOD KARL YOURE TEXTING ME?' WOW. AND YES. I made that fake tweet because I knew you and Sulley would like each other, a bunch of your old viewers and i watched the both of your twitch channels and we all agreed if you'd ever find each other you would both become friends, which meant you would probably end up liking each other, because you two are like copy and pasted versions of each other with different genders, anyways, we wanted to destroy that possibility before it ever happened. So we made you two think you hated each other, so you would never be friends. We just wanted you to ourselves..mainly. Sorry Karl.
anyways..how's your night going? :]

Karl and I both looked up at each other with shocked faces, I was unsure what to say now, it was like the last five years were all a dream, none of it was real. There was so much resentment for no reason.
