Kidnapped

Chapter 120: The Slap

Karl POV

"So I'm..not a..priority?" I ask, my voice cracking as my eyes finally meet his. His anger faded slightly as he lets out a huff.

"Karl you have to understand that Quackity is going through something and it's quite serious, I'm sorry we haven't seen you much but it's part of the healing process" Sapnap says in a lighter voice.

"No- no I think I understand perfectly" I force a smile on my face and wipe my face clean.

"Guys- please don't argue, let's just talk- we can talk about this right?" Quackity asks, looking uncomfortable with the situation unfolding.

"I think we've spoken enough" I say before making my way towards the door. "Karl-" I turn back to look at Quackity, giving him a faint smile before closing the door on them.

The fake smile disappears from my face immediately and the walls around me start to feel suffocating. "Why the fuck would you say that Nick?" I hear Quackity get angry and the sound of something hitting the wall.

I hear the doorbell downstairs and quickly take it as my get away. I wasn't as hungry as I was before but at least it gave me a reason to be otherwise occupied.

Bad had already answered the door by the time I got back downstairs, passing me some of the food to take into the kitchen. I place the bags on the side before grabbing a few plates out of the cupboards.

"Do you mind getting the others from the hot tub while I get everyone else?" Bad asks and I nod, thankful that he wasn't making me go back up there.

I slide open the outside door, catching the attention of both Dream and Skeppy. "Our food is here" I say with a smile before closing the door once again.

I make my way into the kitchen and watch as they both wrap themselves in towels and turn off the hot tub. George stumbles in, sitting in a stool immediately.

"Taking a nap?" I ask and he grumbles. "I was until one of you fuckers made a loud bang and woke me up. And then to make it all worse you sent muffin man to get me out of bed" the reminder makes me flinch slightly as I start to take out the food from the bags.

Dream and Skeppy make their way inside, both towel drying at the door before walking over to the food. "This stuff smells incredible" Dream smiles as he eyes up the food. I turn around to get out some forks so people could start helping themselves.

Everyone started to dig in just as Bad walked in with both Quackity and Sapnap. I avoided looking at either of them and moved slightly away from where they were standing.

I quickly put a bunch of food on my plate before taking a fork and leaving to the sofa. The kitchen filled with soft chatter as I picked at my food, only managing some of it as my mind spun at the conversation that had just happened.

Did Sapnap really not see me as a priority? My heart ached and it had been going on for too long. I didn't know how much more I could take of it but I knew I was on my limit.

After picking at my food for a bit longer I pick my plate back up and walk into the kitchen, placing it harshly next to Sapnap and Quackity. Everyone's conversations abruptly stopped, their eyes following me as I ran up the stairs.

I shut myself in my office, hoping some how and some way I would feel better.

George POV

I shoot Dream a look of concern before noticing the hint of guilt hidden on Sapnap's face. Karl seemed upset and the silence that greeted the table proved I wasn't the only one who noticed it.

"What've you done?" I ask Sapnap, not taking my eyes off of him.

"Nothing he's probably just in a mood?" He says as he shrugs his shoulders.

"Sapnap" I warn. No one else dared to speak, the tension was thickening every second.

"If you don't tell me what the fuck you've done I swear to you-"

"Stop acting like you know everything George" He snaps back, dropping his fork on his plate and meeting my eyes.

"Our relationship is quite frankly none of your business"

"It is if you're being a dick, and in this case you are"

Sapnap slams his hand on the table, startling most people. "You have no idea what's going on so you have no right in taking sides, just shut the fuck up George"

He pushes his food away, stepping away from it and heading for the door. I couldn't help but notice how uncomfortable Quackity was, if Sapnap really had done nothing wrong he would've stood up for him by now.

I leave my food at the table, standing in front of Sapnap who clearly had anger rising through him just from the conversation.

"Fuck off" He says as he tries to get to the door.

"Guys maybe you should cool it" Bad finally chimes in, a little too late now.

"You aren't walking out of this house"

"Yes I fucking am, I don't need you questioning my relationship because Karl can't take being on his own"

Before I could register what I was doing I slapped him across the face, Both Dream and Skeppy standing from the table, clearly ready to intervene.

Sapnap stood shell shocked, his hand ghosting over his cheek as he looked at me astounded.

"Karl is a fucking good boyfriend to you, and I don't need to see your everyday relationship to know that. Have you maybe considered that your issue is leaving him out? Fucking get a grip Sapnap and fix things before you hurt him any more" I shout at him.

"While your off fixing your relationship with Quackity you're forgetting it affects Karl too. I know what fucking happened and I told Karl I wouldn't tell you but I'm not going to allow you to sit there and treat him like shit. I understand that you're going through some shit but so is he and you shouldn't be leaving him out just because you assumed he wasn't involved. So go fucking fix it. Now. Both of you" I look over at Quackity who sheepishly nods.

"You hit me" Sapnap manages out finally.

"Hopefully it knocked enough sense into you, if you haven't made up by tonight you can expect another one coming your way"

"I'll hear him out" he nods before walking into the tense atmosphere of the kitchen. "Quackity lets go" he says and he follows. As they make their way upstairs I sit back down at my food, Dream and Skeppy both sitting back down at the same time.

"What the fuck was that?" Dream asks, followed by a wheeze.

I couldn't help but giggle. I did just slap Sapnap after all.
