Sapnaps pov:
I wake up at 3 in the morning to the noise of glass breaking upstairs. "what the fuck was that?" I said in a quiet yet loud tone. "what was what?" said my boyfriend Karl in a sleepy voice. I must have woken him up when I jolted awake. "I heard glass breaking upstairs, like off a wall or something." "Well I didn't hear anything, you must have dreamt it. Now go back to bed." Karl said slightly annoyed that I had woken him up. I guess I must have been dreaming although it didn't seem like it.

(I heard a glass shatter on the wall in the apartment above mine
At first I thought that I was dreamin')

I tried to go back to sleep but I couldn't now that I was awake. A few minutes later I heard a man's voice from the same apartment as before. The man sounded as if he was sobbing but I couldn't quite make it out. Something was definitely wrong.
"Hey Karl?" I whispered. "what?" "Do you know the names of the people who live upstairs?" Karl is very good with names, me not so much.

"Are you still on that?" "Could you just tell me please." "Schlatt and Quackity." "Which one's Quackity again?" I ask "the one with the gold wings that always wears that LAFD beenie." "ohhh yeah, thanks."

(But then I heard the voice of a girl
And it sounded like she'd been cryin'
Now I'm too worried to be sleepin')

The noise continued for a while and at this point Karl could hear it too. "That's it, somethings not right, I'm going up to check if they're OK." "I'm coming with you." Karl said whilst pulling a hoodie over his head. We both pull on a pair of shoes and we head for the door. Even in the hallway you could hear the noise, but just slightly. We got in the elevator and hit the button for the second floor. When we got out of the elevator we followed the floor plan as if we were going to our apartment.

I stand at the door debating on wether to knock. But in the end, I did. A short, black haired man answered. His wings were tucked behind his back but from what I could see, they look frail and a bit damaged, but I wouldn't know. He had a sports flease on with the zip going all the way up to his chin. "Hi, umm, we live downstairs and we heard some.. Well you could say concerning noises from up here, we just wanted to make sure everything was alright?"

(So I took the elevator to the second floor
Walked down the hall and then I knocked upon her door
She opened up and I asked about the things I've been hearing)

"Yeah, no everything's fine here, Snapnap and Karl isn't it?" his voice sounded weak as if he's been screaming for hours on end. "It's Sapnap, but yeah." I reply shaking his hand. Even the hand of this man was weak, as in he had a very weak grip."We didn't hear anything up here though. Are you sure you heard it from up here?" "Pretty sure, yeah." Karl replies. The Man looked worried. "Well we were in bed so it must have been the wind or something, but thanks for your concern." "No problem." "I'm gonna go back inside now cuz it's getting kinda chilly soo bye." "OK Goodbye."

(She said, "I think your ears are playing tricks on you"
Sweater zipped up to her chin
"Thanks for caring, sir, that's nice of you
But I have to go back in
Wish I could tell you about the noise
But I didn't hear a thing"
She said, "It must have been the wind, must have been the wind
Must have been the wind, it must have been the wind"
She said, "It must have been the wind, must have been the wind
Must have been the wind, it must have been the wind")

We went back down to our apartment and tried to go back to sleep although it wasn't working so we decided that we would just stay awake because it was 4:30am and we normally wake up at five anyways. I was sitting on the floor with my back to the wall. "Something just isn't sitting right with me." I say to Karl who seems to be completely chill. "What is it?" "Quackity said that him and his husband were in bed but he answered the door quite quickly and the bedrooms in these apartments are at the opposite side from the door." I said stating my mind.

"So?" "So that means the obviously weren't in bed and also he seemed quite worried." "Yeah I noticed that too." "What if Schlatt is doing something too him?" "We best not assume but that does seem like what's happening" Karl said worriedly. "If we hear anything again later then I'm going back up." "Same here" I hate the fact that he could be I grave danger right now and we can't do anything about it

(So I was layin' on the floor of my room
Cold concrete on my back
No, I just couldn't shake the feeling''
I didn't want to intrude 'cause I knew that I didn't have all the facts
But I couldn't bear the thought of leavin' her)

As the day continued, Karl and I kept hearing loud thuds and shouting coming from the apartment upstairs. While the day grew older, we grew more worried. The last straw was when we heard someone shout "Please stop, I'm sorry." The moment Me and Karl heard that, we looked at each other for a split second before rushing to put our shoes on.

As we made our way into the elevator, a million thoughts started to rush through my head but only one I could focus on. 'you gotta help him' When the lift stopped, Karl an I practically ran to Quackity and Schlatts apartment. I wasted no time banging down the door until Quackity opened up."We heard someone scream, are you ok?"

(So I took the elevator to the second floor
Walked down the hall and then I knocked upon her door
She opened up and I asked about the things I've been hearing)

(Im not doing anymore of the song bc it's hard to come up with a story line to)

"I'm alright" Quackity said very frailly, he was shaking his head as to say no but me and Karl understood the signal. "Look, if your not safe here we have a spare room in our place, your more than welcome to stay until you find somewhere else." Karl stated in a hushed tone. Although we hadn't spoken about this decision beforehand, I was totally onboard with it. "I would but I can't just leave. Everything I own is in this apartment!" He said also hushed. "Alright so you and Karl go in and grab everything of importance to you and I'll deal with your husband." I'm a pretty beefy man, I can pack a few punches. "I couldn't ask you to do that." He sounded worried. " I will be fine, I promise you." I said confidently. "Well alright then if you're sure." He said "oh we're sure" my boyfriend spoke .

After a three second countdown, we barged in. Karl followed the damaged man into what I assumed was his bedroom and I went to the living room to try stall for the two boys. "Who the fuck are these guys?!" Schlatt called out to Quackity after the three of us rushed in. I quickly walked over to the drunken man. "Dude I want you to chill out ok?-" I said as calmly as I possibly could, "-They just have some things that they need to pack. So just stay-" I was cut off. "What do you mean pack? WHERE THE FUCK DOES HE THINK HES GOING?" The horned, drunk man stood up off the couch and began to storm towards the bedroom. I grab him by one of the goat horns growing from his head and guided him back onto the couch.

Schlatt stood back up, this time holding the neck of his beer bottle in his hand. He smashed the bottle off of the coffee table sitting idly in the middle of the room. It struck me that he was going to try stab me with the now broken bottle so in one quick movement my fist met the side of his head and he fell limp onto the couch. I took a minute to look around the apartment, there was broken glass everywhere and not just from when Schlatt broke his bottle a minute or two prior.

After a moment the two boys walked out of the bedroom with three backpacks and a small suitcase full of stuff. "What happened?" Quackity asked sounding worried. "I knocked him out." I felt guilty, I didn't like the fact that I knocked out a drunk man who wasn't fully in his senses. No he was an abuser, what am I saying? I didn't feel sorry at all.

We walk down to our apartment with the frail man's bags in out hands. "Woah your apartment is so clean!" Quackity announced. Karl took pride in our home being clean. We walked our new guest down the hallway to his new room. (That wouldn't be his room for long tho ;)
