deception (Karl Jacobs)

Chapter thirty five
Teegan's pov

My eyes widened in shock at karl's response, why would he tell everyone, I didn't even know If i wanted to tell everyone..my phone begun chiming with many notifications and I shut it off, throwing it at the foot of my bed. I put my hand on my jaw and felt myself grow with so much anxiety. My phone began to ring loudly and I peeked at it, Karl was calling, a sense of relief flew over me as I picked up the phone and brought it up to my ear.
"Hello?" I mumbled nervously, "Hi T. Sorry about that." He spoke softly, "Did I make a rash decision? Im sorry I didn't let you tell me if that was okay..are you okay?" I shut my eyes and sighed, "Im not sure."
"Well i'm sorry T. Now I feel like a prick again."
"No it's okay..I shouldn't have posted your shirt..i'm scared about what Corpse is going to say..before you even confirmed it, he was really upset..and now I feel like our fans think we did this for more views.." I mumbled biting my nail, "Hey it's okay, i'm going to explain everything tonight on stream. The boys are spamming my phone right now too, but i'll wait to answer them until we're together, I'll come over after we finish over here okay? Actually, I wanted you to come over, since you haven't yet.." I let a smile escape from my lips despite having my anxiety rise, he knew how to make me feel better, "Okay.."
"I'll cook us dinner. At least i'll try. Just don't panic okay? Everything will be okay. I promise. If you start having an anxiety attack or something, call me. I'll pick up. I told Jimmy that I need my phone on so, don't hesitate. I'll pick you up soon.." Karl made me feel much better, it made my heart flutter, we had only had vague conversations about anxiety, but it was so nice to know how serious he took it when I said I have horrible panic attacks..he was such a sweet heart. "Thank you Karl. I can't wait to see you." I expressed to him, "See you soon. You look great in my shirt by the way.." Karl made me grin, "Bye T." The phone call ended and I placed my phone down..grinning to myself, until I began thinking about the consequences of our actions again..I felt myself begin to freak out..My breath began to get heavy and I looked around the room trying to calm myself by counting how many lights there were..and then how many figurines...

My phone began to ring aggressively as I slept comfortably, I groaned opening my eyes in annoyance wondering who was calling me now.
It was Corpse...what was I supposed to do..I sat up staring at the call, decline or accept, I didn't know..Even if I didn't like him...Karl and I hurt him..
I clicked accept and was ready to hear it, all the anger. "Why did you lie to me..?" Corpse spoke softly, despite him having a deep voice, I fell back into my bed and avoided responding as I took a deep breathe. "I'm not mad..I just really wished you'd liked me back..and I can't believe you're dating Karl, the way he spoke about you to us...it's such a shock..are you really not going to say anything?" I stared up at my ceiling and tried to find some words, something, anything, but I had nothing.
"Okay..i'll let you go...take care Sulley." He hung up the phone and I finally felt like I could breathe now. My phone chimed and it was Karl. He was on his way. I got up from my bed and began grabbing some things for tonight, incase I slept over.

As I got into the car, Karl grabbed my hand, giving it a soft kiss. "You okay?" He asked as he stared into my eyes, I nodded, swallowing hard. He looked at the road before him and started driving away from my house, "Corpse called me, i think he's really hurt. No I know he's really hurt.." I stared outside the rainy window and Karl sighed, "That's not really our problem Teegan.." I turned to him with furrowed eyebrows, "what?"
"Don't get me wrong, I love Corpse, but..I didn't even know you were Sulley when I met you, how was I supposed to know you were off limits..? And besides, I already really liked you by the time I found out..and you said it yourself, Corpse knew you didn't like him..I feel bad for him..But i'm not going to let it affect me that much.." Karl shot a glance at me and then back at the road, I bit my lip, "I guess that's true..it still sucks though.." he nodded in agreement, "Trust me..I know..you're the first girl i've ever liked this much T. Sucks that it's going this way.." He grinned at me and I smiled, "It's a bit hectic, but it's nothing we can't handle..I say we take a vacation after this...even if its a town away and a crappy hotel..I say we do it and leave our phones here.." He shot me a wide smile, "I think that's the most amazing thing i've heard come out of your mouth. What the honk. Can we please do that? Im booking a room for next weekend when we get to my house.." I smiled to myself and looked back outside the window, I felt Karl's fingers brush against my hand delicately and I turned my hand, allowing him to lock his fingers with mine.
