(Karkat X reader) Mersuck

Chapter 14

*(F/L/N) means your fake last name*
-your Pov-
When I got home Karkat wasn't there. I made myself dinner and headed up to my room. High school would be starting in a few weeks and summer would be over. I would need a new last name. If anyone knew I was the girl that went missing I would be in some deep water. I guess my last name could be (F/L/N). I like that. "(Y/N) (F/L/N)" I said my first name and my new last name aloud. I smiled and got into bed. I hope Karkat comes back tomorrow.

When I woke up the house was silent. I headed out to the cave with the gold necklace I had bought the day before. I jumped into the water and turned into a mermaid. It felt good to be in the water. I swam to the palace and knocked on the door. "State your business" a guard said from the other side. "To give her majesty a gold necklace" I said and the door opened. I was escorted to her personal room. I knocked and swam inside. I held up the necklace I had bought her and she smiled. "Thank you. Our deal is complete" she took the necklace and I swam out of the palace. I saw Terezi and another merperson I hadn't met before. I swam up to them and realized the other merperson was Karkat. "I see how it is..." I said quietly when I was close enough to for him to hear and see me. I swam away as fast as I could. I could feel my salty tears disappearing into the ocean. I went to the cave and transformed back into a human. I curled up into a ball in the far back corner. How could he just leave like that and not tell me? How could he act like he didn't know merpeople exist? How could he not tell me? How?

I heard a splash and Karkat arrived at the cave. He pulled himself out of the water and began to dry his tail off. After a few minutes his legs were back and I wasn't looking him in the eye. Instead I just stared at his feet. He approached where I was sitting and began to talk. "I NEED YOU TO MOVE OUT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I LET YOU STAY LONG ENOUGH. DO YOU UNDERSTAND?" He said everything in his rough scratchy voice. "LOOK AT ME! DO YOU FUCKING UNDERSTAND?" I looked up. His eyes were gleaming with hate, and the occasional hint of a smile was gone. "Yes..." I walked away. I didn't need to look at him anymore. I thought he was trustworthy and loyal. I thought he would tell me anything. I thought he was my friend. Turns out I'm nothing to him. A nobody that stayed in his house until her memories came back. I just kept walking.

I don't know where I am right now. I'm on an empty street in a nearby neighborhood.
"Hey! Are you okay?" A cheerful voice asks me from behind. "I'm fine..." I said and turned to see the person behind me. When she saw my face she could see my puffy eyes and tear streaked face. She hugged me. "You can stay the night with me" I followed her. I don't care if she kills me in my sleep or pick pockets my wallet. I just need a place to stay the night. She unlocked the door to her house. "My names Jade by the way" she smiles. "My name is (Y/N)" I say quietly not wanting to burst into tears again.

After a few hours of talking. I had told her a guy had hurt me, and my parents left me. I didn't tell her any names besides my own. I didn't tell her I was a mermaid, but I did tell her about my job and my other friends. She smiled and said I must be pretty good with fashion if Kanaya hired me. She gave me a pillow blanket and some baggy clothes of hers to sleep in. I thanked her and passed out on the couch.

The next day I told her I was going to pack up my things. "Jade, could I keep my stuff here until I find a place to stay?" I asked. "Why don't you just move in here, and be my awesome new roommate?" She asked me. "Sure" I shrugged. "I'll be back later."

I was afraid to go to Karkat's. I mean he could easily yell at me for coming near him or something. I rang the door bell. I heard the shuffling of feet and he opened the door. Before he could talk I said "I'm here to pack up my things. I found a place to stay..." He let me and I quickly ran up the stairs.
