WARNING. THIS CHAPTER GETS KINDA DEPRESSING I'M SORRY
*THIRD PERSON POINT OF VIEW FOLLOWING DAVE'S STORY LINE*
Dave couldn't understand what Karkat was mumbling about but whatever it was, it really made him upset. He continued to sit there and try to calm the nerve-wrecked boy that was so close to him.
And yet, Dave couldn't stop thinking about what Karkat said, about dating Terezi and being cheated on.
'When was it?' He kept thinking to himself.
"Karkat, Karkat look at me." Dave held the boy up with his hands clutched onto his shoulders. He looked him in the eyes and could see the pain Karkat was re-living. Dave was close to loosing it himself.
"Karkat, when were you two dating?.." he already knew what the answer was, he just didn't want to believe it.
"A-A" He sniffled and wiped his nose with his overly large sleeve. "A year ago."
Dave felt himself freeze as he began to think back a year ago.
*DAVE'S FLASHBACK FROM A YEAR AGO*
Dave walked off from Terezi's porch and couldn't help but smile as he saw the look of amazement in his girlfriend's eye's. Everything Dave did for her, he did out of pure love. He couldn't imagine a day without her.
As he made his way home, he had the same smile plastered on his face with every single step he took.
Right now, life was completely perfect for Dave. His brothers laid off picking on him, he had an amazing girl at his side, and he even became friends with some of Terezi's friends. He wasn't alone anymore and he couldn't help but loose the cool guy act.
The main group of friends he was now invited into consisted of Vriska Serket, Nepeta Lejion and her boyfriend Equius Zahhak, Feferi Peixes and her best friend Eridan Ampora, and don't forget, Tavros Nitram was included as well. There were more people that the circle extended out to, but that was just the lunch group.
This was all great for Dave, but within a month's time, everything was starting to fall apart on him.
His brother, Dirk, was starting to have problems in his relationship with Jake English. This resulted in Dirk having a worse attitude at home.
He started being really rude to his brothers, and bro started drinking, unsure what to do about Dirk.
Their father left them shortly after Dave was born, leaving for a new family in another state. Since bro was fifteen at the time, he became the 'parent' to a new born and a four year old.
Once bro drank, he changed. He wasn't abusive, but he became a real bum. He never left his room unless it was to grab another beer. He started ignoring his brothers, he even ignored lil cal. The poor guy didn't know what to do, so he just played his role as a puppet and hasn't moved since.
As for Dave's friends, Feferi and Eridan got into a huge argument over him beating the shit out of Fef's boyfriend, Sollux. She tried to break it up once Eridan wouldn't let up after Sollux passing out. In result, Eridan accidentally hit Feferi really hard in the gut.
So those three no longer associated themselves with the group.
Vriska got drunk one night and accidentally shoved Tavros off of the roof they were hanging out on and paralyzed his legs. He was now chair bound.
Another friend of theirs suddenly went cold turkey from all of the drugs he did and injured Equius, Nepeta tried standing up for her boyfriend and got hurt by Gamzee as well. Dave hadn't liked him from the start.
