A Royal disaster

Chapter: Four

POV: Kankri.

I walked home. I had dressed up for absolutely nothing. Why do we have to move in? It had been so much easier if we had done literally anything else.

I went upstairs immediately, without greeting dad or Karkat. I locked myself in. I don't want to move in. But I have to. So I started packing my things. After a while I heard knocking on my door. I opened it, and it appeared to be Karkat.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING KANKRI? ARE YOU WALKING AWAY?"

"What?! N9! 9f c9urse not. What made y9u think that?"
"MAYBE THE FACT THAT YOU ARE PACKING A SUITCASE."
He had a point.

"G9 d9wnstairs. Call dad t9 the living r99m f9r me. I have an imp9rtant ann9uncement t9 make."
"OKAY! I WILL DO THAT IF IT IS SO GODDAMN IMPORTANT TO YOU."

When we were all in the living room, I started to tear up a bit.

"Dad, Karkat, I have 6een attending sch99l since yesterday. I t9ld y9u a69ut it. The 9nly pr96lem is that I kn9w have t9 live 9n the sch99l gr9unds f9r tw9 m9nths."
Dad just, stared at me. Like he was trying to understand what I was telling him. Karkat was now tearing up. The poor boy didn't even get a chance at school because of this stupid thing called blood color.

"WHY DID YOU HAVE TO BE ACCEPTED INTO THAT STUPID SCHOOL? IT'S NOT FAIR!"

He ran to his room.

"Kanni, I kn9w sch99l means a l9t t9 y9u, but w9n't y9u c9nsider n9t g9ing as an 9pti9n? Because I d9n't kn9w h9w he will take th9se tw9 m9nths witho9t y9u."

"I will g9. I just want t9 make sure you 69th have a c9mf9rtable living situati9n g9ing 9n and the 9nly way t9 make that happen is 6y w9rking and g9ing t9 sch99l. If y9u will n9w excuse me, I have t9 pack my stuff."
"If y9u leave this d99r t9day, I will n9t accept y9u back in ever again."
"Alright. Then shall this 6e my final g99d6ye t9 the b9th 9f y9u."

"Kankri d9n't y9u dare!"
"I will leave dad. Y9u can't keep me in here f9rever!"

"Y9u get 30 minutes t9 be g9ne."

I ran upstairs. I grabbed my suitcase, all my clothes, my laptop, my adaptors, my phone and pills. I ran to Karkat, gave him one last hug and walked out the door, to never return again.

So there I was. Alone, homeless and with nobody to help me if they knew my blood color. Things were going great.

I texted Cronus. He said that he would be leaving in 20 minutes. I said I was on my way already, and that I would meet him at our new home. I felt empty, and sad. But I still had Cronus and Porrim. Maybe even Damara and Meulin. So it wasn't that bad.

I arrived at the door of my new home. It looked to be a big apartment. I saw Cronus running towards me, keys in hand.
"Hey Kanni! Howv long havwe you been wvaiting?"
"N9t that l9ng. 5 minutes may6e. Y9u seem excited. H9w c9me?"
"My dad comes to vwisit tomorrowv."
"9h..."
"Did somefin happen?"
"I d9n't want t9 talk a69ut it."
"Alright. Let's get inside!"

Inside was huge. There was one master bedroom, and one small bedroom. I walked inside the smaller one. It was barely bigger than my old one. I decided I would sleep in this one because it felt like the right thing to do. I heard Cronus shout.

"KANNI! THE BATHROOM IS HUGE!"

I giggled. He was so happy to be here. I was still sad. I couldn't share his excitement. I just got kicked out of my house. I texted Porrim.

Texting became calling and during the call came the tears. I cried my heart out while I heard Cronus play some kind of game in the background. Porrim tried to comfort me. She told me I could live with her after all this. I thanked her for her offer, but declined it anyways. I don't know why I did it. I know I should've accepted it. Where could I go? It's not like I'm going to live with Cronus forever. I heard the doorbell, and I hung up the phone to answer the door. That was my job after all.
