Cha.26 the ugly truth

Sorry if this book is any confusing with their relationship or smt, cause I've never been in one and I don't know how relationships works so I'm so sorry if a lot of stuff are very unaccurate💀

I'm actually working on a mafia book rn in my drafts, That's why the chapters have been taking a while to release but I think the mafia book is gonna be out in between 1-2 weeks:)
( Depending on how long the story will be )

"George..?"

"I- What the hell?!" I stuttered, furrowing my eyebrows.

"I'm sorry. I- uh.. Gotta go" He gathered his books, about to leave before I grabbed his arm lightly.

He tried getting out of my grasp, before I stopped him. "Wait, Karl?! You disapeared from school for days, I just wanna know if you are okay?"

The silent minute got in my worries, until he finally decided to speak up with a sigh. "I'm fine.. Things have just been shit recently with me and Nick"

I knew the rumor was that Karl cheated on Nick, but I still kinda felt bad for him since I hadn't heard his side of the story yet.

"Do you wanna talk about it?"

I noticed that he was hesitated to talk about the subject, but I appreciated that he trusted me enough to confess.

"I'd like that" He agreed with a faint smile, small tears that were slightly pricked in his eyes that he was obviously trying to hide.

Time skip: 10 minutes later in the schools bathroom

"We can talk after your class, I don't want you to get in trouble because of me.." Karl suggested as he glanced down at his hands, leaning against the bathroom wall.

I shook my head, crossing my arms.

"It's okay, I'll deal with the teachers later. I just wanted to see if you were okay!"

His arms dropped down, his tears started to show more now and as soon as I gave him a hug, those tears fell down like a waterfall.

"Actually, I'm not okay! Everyday I wake up and feel like there is no point of me still being in this world. I just wanna go back to sleep and never wake up, the moment I open my eyes, remembering that I'm still alive and even though I wish I'm not" He cried out.

His words left me in shock as I felt him hug me tighter.

He stuttered slightly, trying to form words through his tears. "I didn't have anyone to be honest to and felt like I wasn't actually alone for once when I met Nick, now my heart just feel empty and crushed into small pieces.. I got drugged that night and-"

He stopped.

I rubbed my hand on his back to make him calm down. "It's okay, you don't have to go into details if you're uncomfortable with the subject.. But I belive you Karl, don't worry"

He nodded. "Thank you so much George, I really appreciate that.."

The bell rang, meaning that the first period lesson had ended. Ah- Shit.. I forgot about the part of me skipping class.

We pulled away from the hug.

He chuckled slightly, wiping his tears with his purple sweater paw. "Heh.. You should go now, I don't want you to skip the whole morning classes"

"Will you be fine then? I can skip school today if it will make you feel better..?" I requested with a soft smile on my face.

He shook his head. "I'll be fine, I'm just here to collect work that I have missed. Now go! I'll meet you in PE" He giggled, shooing me out of the bathroom with his hands.

It felt good that I had finally gotten to talk with Karl about the whole drama, but I never new about Karls depression before he met Nick.

I felt really bad for him.. He deserve better.

But apart from that, I new that I had to convince the teacher of not telling my mother about skipping class.

Luckily, I had Mrs.Puffy the first lesson and she would probably let me slip away.

I reached her classroom and peacked inside, seeing it was empty since everyone had just gone on their breaks.

"Mrs.Puffy..?" I tried to get her attention, seeing that she sat by her desk and prepared papperwork for her next class probably.

Her attention turned to me. "Is everything alright George? You didn't show up in class"

I nodded. "I'm sorry, something important got in my way.. Do you think I can just slip away just this once?" I asked with puppy eyes.

She sighed. "I'm sorry George, I would but I will get in trouble with the principal if I do that. Everyone has to be treated equally"

My face dropped. Shit

"But is it okay if you can reconsider not telling my mom? Please Mrs.Puffy"

She thought for a second, before answering. "I wont tell your mother, but you will still have detention after school"

I smiled at her agreement, nodding quickly. "Yeah, I'm fine with that. Thank you miss"

I left the classroom, kind of in a slight hurry for the next class.

Later that day, I got shocked when I showed up to dentention. I saw Karl sitting in the back of the classroom, looking quiet worried.

I also saw someone else in there, on the middle row and next to the window.

"Karl? Why are you here?" I asked confoused, before turning my attention to the other person. "And Clay? What the hell?"

Karl stayed quiet, I noticed that Clay was glancing towards the back at him with an angry expression.

I wasn't that suprised that Clay was mad at Karl, since he thought that Karl cheated on his bestfriend.

But Karl looked terrified right now.

"I will be back in an hour and unlock the door. Do you're homework or something" The teacher said, before leaving.

I observed the room, feeling the akwardness before taking a seat next to Karl in the back.

"What are you doing?" Clay asked as he watched me sitting down by the desk.

"Giving my friend some company. And why do you care? If I remember clearly, you were the one who broke up with me" I answered, glaring back at him.

"I didn't break up with you, I only thought that we needed a break" He mumbled.

"Yeah and that means if I want to sit with Karl, then I can"

I was getting on Clays nerves, making him almost snap. "You already know that Karl cheated on Nick, so why the fuck would you still be friends with him?!"

I crossed my arms. "You don't know Karls side of the story!"

"And how would you know that he is telling the truth?! He might as well be lying, There was evidence on that picture!" Clay yelled.

"JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP CLAY!" I snapped.

I saw from the corner of my eye that Karl was about to break into tears from guilt, making me also feel a little guilty myself for starting an argument with Clay infront of him.
