There and Back Again {On Hold}

one of those days.

Karkat's POV:

"W-wait...you can't be serious?!" I asked my "brother".
"Karkat...I know you like it here but it has to be done...he's directly related to you and well... The Egbert's aren't...I'm sorry but your gonna have to go with your brother..." Said Calliope.

"B-but...no! No! I thought I had a choice...I..I can't just leave the Egbert's! Their..their my family..." I felt tears sting my eyes.
"Don't freat karkat, we aren't far, im renting an apartment on oak street, that way you won't have to leave your friends." Kankri stated.

"I don't wanna live with him! I wanna live with john! And mr Egbert!" I yelled, tears now rolling down my face.
"You can come see them whenever you want..." Kankri spoke once more.
"I don't care! It won't be the same!" I screamed.

"I'm sorry but...you don't really have a choice." You have a week to pack your things..." Ms calliope said.

She got up and left the house, kankri trailing behind.

I looked at john, he stared back at me tears staining his face, he ran upstairs.
I turned to mr Egbert.
"She can't be serious..."
"I'm afraid so karkat..."
"But...he..he can't just take me away from you...this is my home..." I said sourly.
"I'm so sorry karkat..I know this does seem like home to you..." He looked at me.
"Can't you fight for me?!" I yelled.
"Karkat I've done all I can...your just gonna have to go with your brother..."

"He's  not my brother... John is..." I simply responded and went upstairs.
I knocked on johns door, it was actually closed.
"Please go away..." I hear him from inside the room.
"John...its kar..please open up..." I whispered.

He opened the door slowly.
His face drenched in tears.
I walked in his room and pulled him into a tight hug.
He started sobbing into me all over again.
We stood there for about 5 minutes before he let go of me.

"I'm sorry I'm being a huge baby..." He mumbled.
"N-no..it's ok...everything will be ok..." I replied quietly.
"How do you know..." He asked.
"Well for starters I'll only one street down from you, I can come over whenever... Maybe even sleepovers..." I smiled slightly.
He gave me a sad smile.
"And we can still be brothers...I mean if you want..." I added.
"I..I would like that..." He smiled bigger.
"How about I sleep in here tonight?" I asked him.

"I would like that too..."

The week went by so fast. I had enough time to pack though...of course me and john didn't say a word of this to the others...we wanted to keep this to ourselves it didn't matter anyway... I really wasn't moving that far. John almost started crying again when kankri came to pick me up. Hell I think I almost cried. Kankri had a red porsh.
It was nice I guess, but you could tell he bought it used.
Da- mr Egbert's was nicer looking.

"Well! Here we are, I know its not much but its home." Kankri said, pleased to have me here.
I looked around. He was right, it was small. There was a living room connected to a kitchen and a hall way going down the middle. There looked to be only three rooms in the hallway. It was small..smaller then my- John's house. And with Roxy's house it looked like a joke.

"Well I suppose I should show you to your room, come please."
God what is with him? Is he just trying to be polite or is he like this?! Oh please don't be like this! I won't be able to take living with him.

He led me down the small hallway to the last door.
He opened it and there was a blank room. The walls had a green tint to them, there was a dark red blanket on the bed and a small dresser in the corner. No closet.
It reminded me of how blank my room was when I moved in with the Egberts.

Man...I really miss them..
Right about now mr Egbert would be cooking dinner.
"Well I'll leave you to get settled in, dinner will be in an hour." Kankri cut in.

I decided to message dave.
I got out my laptop from one of my bags and logged on.

~turntechGodhead ceased pestering carcinoGeneticist~

Oh..oh shit he..he didn't call me KitKat...he must be mad even though he said he wasn't.

I flopped down on my bed.
He must hate me...
