~~~TEREZI'S POV~~~

      I walked quickly through the forest, rain pouring down through the gaps in the branches, droplets mixing with tears falling down my face.

      "Terezi, wait."

      I heard the familiar voice behind me, but kept walking, faster this time. He kept up though. Eventually, he grabbed my wrist, which I pulled away from and spun around.

      "What, what do you want, Karkat." I sniffled and stared at him.

      "Terezi, please, it wasn't-"

      "Wasn't what? Wasn't your fault? Please, I saw you two. You enjoyed it, I know you did." I turned around and kept walking.

      "No, you're wrong, it wasn't what it looked like." He grabbed my shoulder and I pulled away.

      "Don't touch me." I kept walking.

      He grabbed my arm. "Terezi, could you just listen to me for-"

      "I SAID DON'T TOUCH ME!" I turned around and ripped my arm away from his, rubbing it with my other arm as I backed up.

      "God, I-..." I took a deep breath and ran my hands through my hair. "I'm such an idiot! I can't believe I actually thought..."

      "Thought what?" He stared at me, concern covered his face.

      I bit my lip and sighed. "Nothing, forget it."

      "No, tell me what you were going to say."

      "I said forget it, Karkat."

      "And I said tell me what you were going to fucking say."

      "No, forget it."

      "No, I'm not gonna forget it, Terezi! Tell me what the fuck you were going to say!"

      "I CAN'T, DROP IT."

      "YOU CAN'T WHAT?!"

      "I CAN'T BELIEVE I ACTUALLY THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME TOO." I screamed, and his eyes widened.

      The silence was unbearable. I could feel everything around me getting ripped to shreds as more rain poured down on us. My heart was beating out of my chest. I just wanted to disappear.

      "You...what?"

      I took a shaky breath. "Fuck..." I wiped my tears, but more kept coming, as well as rain. "I wish I never came to this stupid summer camp. I wish I never went blind. I wish I never got into that car. I wish my sister was still alive and I wish everything was fine again."

      I started shaking, and Karkat started speaking, taking a few steps toward me. "Rezi..."

      "Most importantly, I wish that..." I stared at you. "I wish that I wasn't in love with you, because I know you'll never feel the same way and, I know you like Dave and you could never give a rats ass about me like I do about you. But, are you fucking happy now?! You found out, the absolute last thing you wanted to hear from anyone, let alone me, and now you have no response."

      He took a few more steps toward me. "Rezi, stop talking."

      I shook my head and took one step back, Karkat now only a few feet in front of me. "No, I'm not gonna stop talking, because that's what you want. You don't want to feel guilty for kissing Dave, but I want you to feel guilty, and, since I haven't gotten to, tell you how I felt yet, here you go. Have anything to say for yourself, Karkat? Huh? Anything?"

      He was now about two feet in front of me.

      "That wasn't me."

      My eyes widened and I stared at him. "...w...what." I stammered out.

      He smirked a little bit, shaking his head. "That. Wasn't. Me. Did I stutter?"

      My face went pale and I stared at him, the silence consuming the thick air once again.

      I took a deep, shaky breath, looking down at the ground. I didn't even notice Karkat walking toward me again. "I'm gonna, uh, g-"

      Before I could finish, Karkat hooked his finger under my chin and kissed me.

      My hands grabbed his waist and I gripped his clothes slightly, kissing back.

      Everything around me slowly faded to nothing. I couldn't feel the rain drops on my face, and I couldn't hear the thunder rolling in the sky anymore. All I could focus on was Karkat, and that's all I cared about.

      For once in my life, something finally went right.
