Prologue
All you know is he won't talk about it. "It" is the drugs, alcohol, cuts, bruises, hitting you, etc. You're name is Dave Strider and your boyfriend abuses you. Karkat doesn't mean it… when he's sober he cries over what he does to you, which leads to more drinking, of course. More drinking, more drugs, more blood you have to clean. You stick around because you love him, seeing him destroy himself hurts to watch. If you dare ask him what's wrong your body will ache so much the next day; half of the time when you wake up you don't know where you are. You want to know why he's not happy. Are you not enough? Is it you? It's you. You know it is.
