(Chapter 18)

!!TW!! There will be a lot of domestic violence, physical violence, intrusive thoughts

(Sapnap's pov)

I had been to Karl's house once before, so I knew where it was. The drive there wasn't too horrible, I am slightly nervous, what if his parents are home. I park the car in front of his house, and I slowly take the key out of the ignition. The humming of the engine comes to halt and I stare at the wheel of my car before unbuckling and getting out of the car.

Karl's house was one floor, and very small. The outside walls had rust caked onto the edges, and the lawn had obviously not been moved in what looked like months. The sidewalk leading up to his broken-down front porch was cracked and overgrown. I can't believe He lived like this.

There were no cars in the driveway, so I assumed no one was home, thank god. I turned the doorknob gently, then I walked in and closed the door behind me, and headed to Karl's room. Just find a backpack and put some of his clothes in it, in and out.

I walk into his room and I am surprised to see that his room is messy, that's unlike him. I find a light purple backpack on the floor of his room, and I walk over to his small closet and open it quietly. I grab a light blue sweater and a gray hoodie from the closet and put them in the bag. I then walk over to his dresser and I grab a few pairs of boxers and socks. Then I grab two tee-shirts and three pairs of shorts.

Once everything is in the bag I zip it up and put on the backpack. I'm about to leave Karl's room before I hear the front door slam, and heavy footsteps walk towards the living room. Shit. I stand there for a second before quietly turning the door handle and walking out of his room.

"Who's there?" I hear a low, raspy voice shout. Fuck.

I run towards the front door, but Karl's dad gets there first. He doesn't even say anything to me, he just swings his fist and hits me directly in my left eye, I don't have time to hit back before he swings again and hits me right in my nose, I can feel the blood pour out from my nose.

He attempts to hit me again before I swing and hit the side of his face causing him to stumble back for a moment. I take the opportunity to open the door and run out of it, not bothering to close it. I get in the car and put the backpack in the passenger seat, I immediately lock the doors of the car and speed off back to my house.

(Karl's pov)

I'm sitting on sapnap's bed and scrolling through Pinterest on my phone. As I scroll, I quietly hum to myself to fill the silence. I can't believe this is happening, I'm actually going to live with Sapnap. I sit there processing that information, smiling to myself when I hear the front door open, so I know that Sapnap is back. I sit there hearing walk to the door quickly while panting, odd.

He opens the door and we just look at each other for a second. I can't help it; angry tears blur my vision. I should have never made him go there, I'm a fucking idiot. I blink and I can feel the tears run down my face, you are so fucking ebaressing Karl.

"I'm sorry." I manage to say, although I can't hold in any more tears after that sentence.

He embraces me and I sob into his shoulder.

"You have no reason to be sorry Karl, I'm sorry you have had to live with that everyday." He says and rubs small circles into my back.

"I shouldn't have sent you there, I shouldn't have sent you to deal with him." I choke out.

He pulls out of the hug and leads me to the bed. I lay down on his chest and sob quietly while he continues to rub my back.

"Shh." He coos before I slowly fall asleep.
