Never Alone

~13~

Karl's Pov-

I was worried about Sap but could tell he didn't want to talk. We were cooking, and I could tell he was upset. He grabbed a plate and knocked one down, and it shattered on the floor. He got mad and threw the other one onto the floor. That one exploded into thousands of small pieces. I walked over to Sap and grabbed his waist.

" You go sit on the couch. I'll get this." I told him softly. He shook his head and grabbed the broom. He began cleaning up the mess. I started setting the table and walked back to Sap.

" I can tell you don't want to talk, but I want you to know if you want to talk, just let me know," I said, kissing his cheek. He nodded, and someone knocked on the door. Sap went and opened the door. Jared walked in and looked at me. He had tears running down his face. He ran to me and hugged me tightly.

" It's okay, sweetie. You're home now. I'm not ever getting rid of you, honey. I love you so much." I said gently. I kissed his head and rubbed his back.

" Do you guys want to stay for dinner?" I asked, not pulling away from Jared.

" Are you guys sure?" Dream asked. I nodded.

" That would be nice." He said. They walked in and sat on the couch. I was still hugging Jared. Spot jumped on him, and he chuckled. He picked him up and held him. He was still hugging me, too. I smiled and held Jared for a while. When he pulled away, I smiled, and we walked to the kitchen table. We all sat down and began eating.

" How's the moving going?" I asked. Sapnap hasn't said a word.

" It's going great. We will be fully moved in tomorrow. Just a lot of unpacking." George said. I nodded. Jared was by my side and wouldn't leave. Sap finished his food and got up. He started washing his plate, but it slipped and shattered in the sink. I stood up and walked over to him.

" It's okay. I'll clean it up," I told him. He walked to our bedroom and slammed the door.

" Is he okay?" Dream asked.

" His parents showed up," I said. Dream stood up and went to our bedroom. He knocked and walked in. I sighed and cleaned the sink. Jared walked over and sat on the counter. I smiled and looked at him.

" I'm not going anywhere, sweetie," I reassured him. He nodded and swung his legs. I heard yelling coming from our bedroom, and I dried my hands.

" You stay with George and Shane. I'll be right back, sweetie," I said softly. He nodded lightly. I walked into our bedroom and saw Dream standing back, and Sap had a blade in hand.

" I need to do this, Dream!" Sapnap yelled.

" No, you don't. We are all here for you. This isn't the only way." Dream spoke softly.

" You don't understand," Sap said quietly. I walked over to him slowly with my hand stretched out.

" It's okay, baby. Let me have to blade, please." I spoke softly.

" I need to. Please, Karl, I deserve it." He said quietly.

" No, you don't, baby. You don't deserve it. You deserve the world. Don't let your dad's words get to you. I know it's hard, but please just give me the blade." I spoke calmly. He shook his head, and a sob slipped out. I walked over to him slowly and placed my hand on his. I gently grabbed the blade and handed it to Dream. I pulled him into my arms and held him tightly. He let out a sob and fell to the ground, bringing me with him.

" It's okay, baby. I know this is hard, but I'm right here. I'm so proud of you. You are doing amazing. I know everything's been hard for you, but you are doing amazing. I love you so much." I said softly. He held me tightly and looked up at me. I wiped his tears and kissed his head.
