26 - "See you in a week"

The next day Karl and Sapnap packed up.

After looking for apartments all night, they found a studio apartment a block away from mine for a reasonable price.

Sapnap would fly to Texas and move his stuff with a truck and Karl would go back to North Carolina to pack up and move.

Sappy had to make up some sort of excuse to his slightly homophobic mother about his sudden move.

(A/N: I don't know if his mom is actually homophobic but it's for the plot)

And he came up with a fake job. Video editor for a small business.

I mean, it wasn't a lie.

Our parents were so excited that Karl and I were talking again that they were already packing Karl's apartment back in North Carolina.

I drove the boys to the airport and it was a teary good bye as they went to their separate flights.

"See you in a week," Karl whispered as he hugged me one last time.

"Say hello to Sean and Correy for me," I told Karl as he grabbed his bad and walked towards the check in.

I haven't always had a great relationship with my two other siblings, especially since Correy was married now.

I walked back to my car in silence.

The past week and a half had actually been heaven and then hell and now I was trapped in purgatory.

When I got back to my apartment,I cleaned any evidence of Alex. I washed every blanket and surface he touched and tried to forget his smell.

The most beautiful smell of off brand cologne, rain and fresh books.

It made me happy and depressed all at the same time.

It made me wonder where Alex was now. Did he go back home or was he still in the city?

God, I needed to stop thinking about him. How could I care about someone I never really knew.

I finished cleaning and cleared out my fridge, throwing away the leftover three day old McDonald's fries.

There was still some of the heavenly Chinese food leftover from last night so I decided to warm it up in the microwave and then eat it.

While warming it up I listened to Are you alright? By Lovejoy because I can.

I ate in silence because lmao sadness.

I was alone.

Anyway who cares.  :'(

I got a text from Karl saying he had just landed and was going to the baggage claim.

Then the song Sex Sells came on and an immense wave of sadness had covered me.

The lyrics made sense and for once It wasn't just a catchy song but an actual relatable experience.

How's it feel...
How's it feel to be so loved...
How's it feel to be so loved yet so alone?

Because that's truly how I felt.

And also Quackity was ironically a Capricorn.

But that didn't matter now did it?

Because while yes I was very loved but look at me now. I'm here all alone.
