The Suicide Of Karkat Vantas

DEAD...?

'It's dark...I feel like I'm floating... am I dead now, truly dead now? Oh well, hope I didn't leave too big of a mess.... who the fuck cares actually, that could be my final 'FUCK YOU.' Heh, I wonder if any of them will be pissed. Other than Sollux, I owe the bastard money...uuuhg...I thought you weren't suppose to feel pain. It wasn't there a second ago...what's that sound. ..? I think it's...beeping? And why do I smell medicine.' Karkat's thoughts ended there, suddenly overcome with pain and overall feeling groggy. His friends had found him bleeding out, pretty badly too. Their reactions varied, but all showed some level of concern for the small crabby troll. Some were shocked, others were saddened, and the rest were angry that he'd do something so stupid over a non-existent problem. They had rushed him to the nearest hospital, hoping to save their angry friend and it seemed they made it just in time. With Karkat's suicide attempt along with all the stress his body had been under, he was in a small coma. The doctors assured the small troll's friends that he'd wake up. While he was in the coma the trolls all did their best for when he woke up. Kanaya would read to him, gamzee would rant about miracles and faygo, and sollux would brag about his awesome skills at coding, even going as far to say that if he would wake up then he'd be willing to teach the grouch his ways. The others did small things like that as well, all of them feeling regret for not realizing their friend had needed help sooner. Today, three weeks after the incident, karkat came back to the world of the living. The previously still troll started twitching and groaning, gaining the attention of the other occupants in the room. Nepeta and Dave were the ones on 'Kk duty' so that he wouldn't wake up alone. Nepeta was sitting in the chair next to his bed and almost immediately jumped up, grabbing Karkat's hand, her face showing excitement. "Karkitty! You're back! You're finally awake! I have so much to tell you about and also how dare you do something so stupid -" "yo, nep. Calm down. Let the crab breath." Dave said, walking over from his place by the window. Karkat's face was scrunched up, trying to figure out what was happening and who was talking. 'Nepeta... that sounds familiar. ..' as he slowly tried to opened his eyes, quickly shut them. "Fuc..n br..ht.." Dave managed to figure out that 'fucn brht' meant 'fuckin bright' and went to shut off the lights. "Better karkat?" With the lights now off, karkat could finally open his eyes. The first thing he saw were green eyes that showed concern, grey skin, and a blue cat beanie. "Nepeta..." said Nepeta smiled. "Glad you're alive, karkitty." Dave walked up next to her, starring down at karkat with his arms crossed and a frown on his face. "You sir, are a dumbass." "Don't call him that!" Gasped then hissed Nepeta. "I'm going to call the others and let them know katkitty is awake. BE NICE." With that Nepeta left to make a phone call out in the hall. Dave stood where he was, silently starring at karkat. After a moment he sat next to his and sighed, running a hand through his hair. "That was really dumb karkat... even for you." He rubbed the bridge if his nose I'm a frustrated manner. "You could've fucking talked to us, bro." Karkat looked at him silent before turning his head away. "H-how long have I been here? " his voice was scratchy, not speaking in some time. "Three weeks. Three FUCKING weeks, karkat. You had us worried." Karkat remained silent. Dave sighed again and Nepeta came back in. "Everyone should be on there way here soon! We have do much to catch up on karkitty!" She exclaimed, pulling up a chair to sit next to Dave. She started talking about how life had been, what everyone has been doing, and how much she missed him.
