what the honk is going on || k. jacobs

chapter VI

karl abruptly got up from his chair, "wow wow i'm so sorry! i didn't mean to offend you, seriously!" bsf/n said extremely apologetically.

"its not that!" he said as his voice cracked, bsf/n and i both went silent. i got up to be more on eye level to him and then he spoke, "it's just..." he paused, "it's just you guys are always flirting, i feel like you're leading me on. i cant even tell if you're really best friends or if you're just using that to cover up the fact that you're together."  he accused, "i..." i had no words, "i promise you were not. she literally has a b-" he cuts me off, "yeah sure, because its not like you guys look at each other like you wanna fuck!" he raised his voice.

my heart was racing. what am i supposed to do? i don't want karl to hate me, "did you just yell at her?" my thoughts were interrupted by bsf/n speaking in a calm yet irritated manner.

shuffling of random objects and sounds of keys were heard on their side of the call, soon followed by the muffled sound of them saying "i'll be right back love, i have something to take care of." in a caring tone to someone who was in the room. this mysterious individual replied with "uh ok... stay safe" clearly in a british  accent which agitated the chat, the fans now know that bsf/n is dating someone, but karl and i had long forgotten about the stream.

karl looked at me with a face of disappointment, which i returned with a sorry expression. he then spoke more, "so she's pretending to date someone now to look better." he rolled his eyes. i was speechless, i stayed silent and we stayed in that tense silence until we heard my front door open, followed by the sound of someone coming towards the room. it was in fact  bsf/n.
them and i live in the same apartment complex so i wasn't worried when i heard the door, knowing it was them.

and then they came into the room, "how did you get here so fast?" karl asked confused, "YOU LITTLE SHIT HOW DARE YOU YELL AT MY BEST FRIEND" bsf/n yelled in rage. they raised their hand to slap karl in the face but was stopped by someone grabbing it.
this person was george who had followed his s/o because he was worried, noticing their irritation.

at this point the chat was going a million miles an hour, some people freaking out about george, others about bsf/n and george's relationship, and others about the argument happening at the current moment. altogether the chat was going insane.

"what are you doing?" george asked, "this mother fucker was yelling at my best friend so i was going to slap him" they calmed their voice as they spoke to him, "oh ok" he responded as he let go of their wrist.

they immediately slapped karl the hardest i've ever seen someone slap another, karl hissed as he stood up again looking around at his surroundings, "george, what the actual fuck are you doing here?" he half yelled, "this is the person i was telling you about that i met here dumbass, i didn't know you knew them." he answered.

a chime was then heard from the call indicating someone had joined. this person was bsf2/n, "guys you'll never guess what my friend just tattooed on her thigh-" i cut her off, "this isn't really the time bsf2/n" the sound of my voice, clearly nasally from crying, made her worry, "huh what the fuck is happening... lemme join ur stream real quick..." we all sat in silence while waiting for her, "AYO WHEN DID ALL THESE PEOPLE GET THERE AND IS THAT GEORGE" she exclaimed, "umm sorry- can y'all explain what's happening please..."

karl's expression quickly changed as he realized what he had done. he accused one of my best friends and me of dating and of leading him on only to be quickly proved the wrong, all on a live stream, which was being broadcast to over a thousand people.
he wore an unreadable expression, but he soon got up and stormed out of the room. leaving me, a crying mess, george, bsf/n, bsf2/n on the call and an ongoing stream in shock.

wiping my tears i ended the stream with no goodbye or anything. i knew that i would have to speak about this incident later but for now i just wanted to be alone.
the couple gave me a knowing look and left my apartment, bsf/n giving me a hug beforehand.
i quickly explained what happened to bsf2/n and she got extremely angry and also understood that i wanted to be alone for the time being.

i was now left with a mess of a room.
nail polish smeared from karl's hands hitting the desk, a spilled nail polish bottle, and of course
a turned over monster can with a stream of the liquid trickling down from my desk onto the floor

i didn't feel like i had the energy or the will to clean all this right now. i couldn't even focus on a single thought in my head. so i decided that i would leave it for later when im feeling a bit better.

i made my way over to my kitchen about to make more kraft dinner, like the amazing cook i am, but i couldn't help but remember how i ate this exact meal with karl yesterday. i lost my appetite.

i ended up going to bsf/n's house after id watched the rest of the episode of the netflix series i'd been watching when karl arrived, knowing george would be gone by then.

not late after i arrived there, bsf2/n arrived as well with truck loads of comfort food and we spent the whole night together trashing on men, leaving the mess in my room long forgotten...
