CW/TW: Suicidal thoughts, panic attacks. Bold + italics are flashbacks!

-•-•-•-•-

Sapnap's POV

God, where was he? Dream hasn't responded to any of my messages or calls, I just hope that something hadn't gone wrong. Ugh, it shouldn't matter, I have research to do.

Once Dream and Tubbo had left, I went back into his house, and began to search. I found this book about some ancient underwater kingdom. I knew that Dream had gone off in that direction, maybe they were looking there.

But for Tommy? I had done more and more research each day about it. It's still hard fir me to believe, but apparently mermaids exist.

What Dream had also told me, was that some blue tailed guy saved him from drowning. If that was true, then that confirms the books.

That meant that Tommy could be some merboy as well. from what i've gathered, he was taken by some merman. And that... that could be what happened to Karl.

I couldn't believe that it's just now starting to add up, I was disappointed in myself. How come I hadn't figured this out sooner?

Karl's alive, I can feel it. I need to go find him, but I need to wait for Dream to come back. I can't do this without him, he's the only one who understands.

I can't lost hope, not on Karl. Never.

Karl's POV:

Everybody had decided to sleep in the cave that night. We'd get up bright and early in the morning to go and travel back, i'm sure that George would know the way.

I feel so upset, but why? I'm being taken back home, I get to see my boyfriend again. But what if he doesn't recognize me? What if he doesn't love me anymore? What if he's moved on?

All these thoughts are rushing through my head at a mile a minute, I don't know which ones to focus on.

He loves someone new.
Why would he love you anymore? You left him.
He's moved on.
He hates you.
He thinks you're dead!
Everyone wants you dead.
Why aren't you dead yet?
You should be dead.
He wants you to Die.
Why not do that?

Before I know it, i'm crying. Why am I thinking these things? Why won't it go away?

I curl myself into a ball, and keep myself in a corner, trying to stay quiet. I can't let anybody see me like this.

Wilbur's POV:

I wake up to the sounds of crying. It's not loud, it's actually really quiet, i'm just a light sleeper.

Instead of getting up to check who it is, I listen for a moment. After just a few moments, I realize what's happening. I immediately get up, and find Karl in the corner.

"Karl?" I call, quickly making my way over to him.

He's trembling, shaking on the ground, so I kneel down to his level. The man looks at me, tears falling from his cheeks.

"Karl, are you okay with me being here?" I whisper, remaining calm, and speak slowly. He nods. Good.

I've helped him with this before. When we were friends, this would happen a lot. Then, he got caught up in that royal guard idea, god I hated that. That's what drove me away, and left him alone.

"Can I sing to you?" I ask Karl. He's crying, having another one of his panic attacks. One thing I knew he liked was my songs.

The man nods at me, hugging his knees.

I grab my guitar, still highly confused as to how it works underwater, but I guess that's just my luck.

Running my fingers on the strings, it creates music, and I begin to play, and sing to him one of my new songs that i've titled 'Jubilee Line.'

As I sing, I watch him calm down. Good, he likes it.

—

Again, my luck. I had a strap on my guitar, and carried it on my back when I arrived with Tommy, Karl, and George. I brought that thing with me everywhere.

"Can I sing to you, Karl?" I ask, and receive a weak smile, and a nod. "Good."

After quite a bit of singing a bunch of my songs, Karl had fallen asleep. I lie my head on the wall, sitting right beside him just in case it happened again, and went back to sleep.
