Dave's pov

I can help him! I thought quickly and ran to Karkat's side as he sobbed.

"GET AWAY FROM ME!" He screams, slamming his hands into my chest, causing me to stumble backwards.
I knew what I had done and i knew it was wrong. I spent so much time trying to mend Karkat. He was so mean, loud, rude, and broken when I first met him, almost like a puzzle. I spent so much time trying to put him back together and I did.........but I didn't love him like I thought I did. I finally told him I was in love with John and it was like I ripped up the pieces and through them to the ground.

"Karkat I'm sorry!" I cried, trying to hold the crying troll in my arms. He screamed over and over and pushed me away.

"YOU BASTARD! YOU UTTER PIECE OF SHIT!" He screamed. I felt warm tears slip down my  cheeks as I back away from him. He took a deep breath, wiping his tears, and regained his composer.

"I don't need you." He whispered; I flinched at how quiet he was compared to his recent screaming.

"We can be friends?" I suggested with a small, hopeful smile.

"No. Get out if my hive you disgusting piece of shit, I don't need you." He said in a completely dead voice.

"You broke me." 

Two years later

Isn't it ironic? My life has finally matched up with a song.

Only know you love her when you let her go.

Only him, in my case. I watch as Karkat walked hand in hand with Sollux, laughing and smiling; occasionally kissing his cheek.

I let him go, I deserved this! The night I broke things off with Karkat I slept with John. It made me realize that I didn't feel a spark, I didn't want John the way I wanted Karkat.......but it was to late.
But what's important it that Karkat is happy now. He's happy without me.
