Sweet side (karlnap)

Ch.14 (it's not a home)

I had an idea for a chapter title so I added one that might start happening sometimes but not often or all the time.

TW: hospital, swearing, panic attack, yelling, suicidal thoughts/mentions, abuse (there'll be a chapter description at the end for people who skip this chapter because of the trigger warnings because there's lots.)

Karl POV

I was crying as I was walking home.

Thinking of what happened the last time worried me.

Would it be worse this time because I'm in high school.

Just that one thought was enough to push me over the edge.

Everything started spinning my vision went blurry with tears and general fright.

I sat down on the side of the curb.

I waited.

And waited.

And kept waiting.

It wasn't getting better.

I needed to take my mind off of whatever was happening.

I pulled my phone out of my pocket and checked my notifications.

I had many messages.

But one in particular caught my eye.

4 new messages from SapNap🧡

I smiled at the message.

I still couldn't really see properly and my hands were shaking and sweaty but I opened the messages and read them.

SapNap🧡
Hey

Txt me when you get home

Please I'm worried about you, you left really quickly and without saying goodbye and without good reason I don't believe that you are going to your grandparents house.

I really am worried Karl.

I smile at the worry that he has.

I text him back.

Hey sorry for responding late. I'm home I'm safe. I AM going to my grandparents house. It's nice that you're worried but you really don't have to be. I'm fine :).

That entire message was a lie. One big lie.

I re-read the message and one word stood out to me I'm safe. I'm not safe.

Then it all came back.

The reason I left George's with such hurry.

The reason I was sitting here in the first place.

I start crying again.

My mind fills with unpleasant thoughts.

Remember what happened last time.

It'll just be 100 times worse this time.

Safe...
Safe...
Safe...

That one word on repeat in the back of my mind.

Safe the one thing I'm not.

I get up after the tears are mostly gone.

I walk towards my house.

When I get home I stop in front of my house.

The building I call home but it's everything but home. It's just a building that I've created some memories in.

It's not a home.

A black car in the driveway that's not usually there.

I know what it means.

He's here.

This won't end well...

Left on a cliffhanger but I have a bunch of information that I'm adding to the next chapter that goes with this one I'll start writing the next chapter now and it should be out soon also I know that all the trigger warnings aren't in this chapter they will be in the next one though (I'll still put the same warning at the top of next chapter as well.)

Description for those who supplied the chapter:
Karl was walking home he had a flashback to when he was younger and was worried that it'd be worse this time. He sat on the side of the road lied to SapNap about being safe and at home. He got home and realized that he's not home he's just at a building where he's created some memories.

Sorry about the description being really really terrible if someone else wants to write one please do ——>
