KARKAT SAT ON HIS FLOOR IN THE MIDDLE OF HIS BLOCK. HE HELD A RAZOR HE FOUND IN HIS HAND. BOTH OF HIS ARMS WERE COVERED IN HIS RED BLOOD. HIS TEARS RAN DOWN HIS FACE. HE WAS FULL OF DEPRESSION THAT HE HAD FINALLY HAD ENOUGH, AND DECIDED TO HANDLE IT BY CUTTING. HE GRIPPED THE RAZOR TIGHT. HE CURSED AND CUT HIMSELF MORE. THE SCARS ON HIM REACHED TO HIS UPPER ARM. HE HATED HIMSELF, AND ANYONE THAT HAS EARNED HIM PAIN. HE HEARD YOU KNOCK ON THE DOOR. "GO AWAY." HE STUTTERED.
YOU FROWNED DEEPLY UPON HEARING HIM. YOU WERE NOT SURE WHAT WAS GOING ON BUT FROM WHAT YOU COULD TELL YOU KNEW HE WAS CRYING. "IM NOT GOING AWAY KARKAT.. WHATS GOING ON IN THERE? YOU SOUND LIKE YOURE CRYING" YOU STATED. YOU LISTENED CAREFULLY TO HEAR IF KARKAT REPLIED . YOU SIGHED THINKING FOR A MOMENT, 'WHAT SHOULD I DO?'... "KARKAT IF YOU DONT ANSWER IM COMING IS" YOU SAID, ABOUT TO OPEN THE DOOR
KARKAT CURLED HIS KNEES TO HIS CHEST IN DEFEAT. WHEN HE HEARD YOU GOING FOR THE DOORKNOB HE DROPPED THE RAZOR. STILL SOBBING HE TUCKED HIS FACE INTO HIS KNEES.
YOU OPENED THE DOOR TO FIND KARKAT HUDDLED AWAY FROM THE DOOR. YOU WALKED OVER TO HIM. YOU SUDDENLY SEE A RAZOR, COVERED IN HIS RED BLOOD. "K-KARKAT..DID YOU..." YOU HAD A STARTLED LOOK ON YOUR FACE. YOU HUGGED HIM A LITTLE
KARKAT DROPPED HIS ARMS SO YOU CAN SEE. HE CRIED HARDER WHEN HE SAW YOUR WORRIED FACE. "Y-Y-YES..." HE TRAILED OFF IN HIS TEARS. YOUR HUG CALMED HIM DOWN A BIT BUT NOT ALOT. HE WAS BREATHING HEAVY. KARKAT RAISED HIS HEAD TO GET A BETTER LOOK AT YOU
"S-SHIT DUDE... WHY WOULD YOU FEEL THE NEED TO DO THIS?" YOU ASKED THROUGH SHAKY BREATHS. YOU WERE TRYING SO HARD NOT TO BREAK DOWN AND CRY, BUT HIS WALLS SEEMED TO BE DIMINISHING. TEARS STARTED TO ROLL DOWN YOUR CHEEKS AS HE HUGGED YOU TIGHTER.
"I-IM SORRY . I REALLY AM..." HE HUGGED YOU TIGHTLY AS TEARED ROLLED DOWN HIS FACE, ONTO YOUR SHIRT. THE BLOOD ON HIS ARMS SEEMED ALMOST DRY ALREADY.
YOU RUBBED HIS BACK TRYING TO ATTEMPT TO CALM HIM DOWN "IT.. ITS ALRIGHT.. JUST PLEASE DONT EVER DO THIS AGAIN.. COME TO ME IF THERES SOMETHING BOTHERING YOU A-ALRIGHT?" YOU ASKED PLEADINGLY. YOU COULDNT BARE TO THINK THAT KARKAT WENT THROUGH SO MUCH THAT DROVE HIM TO DO THIS.
KARKAT TOOK THE RAZOR FROM YOUR HANDS. SEEING THAT YOU WERE SHOCKED, HE STOOD UP, AND WALKED TO THE DOOR.
YOU STOOD UP AND FOLLOWED HIM AS HE WALKED TO THE DOOR "WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO KARKAT?"
HE WALKED AWKWARDLY TO THE FRONT DOOR, HOPING DAVE WILL FOLLOW HIM. HE THEN OPENED THE DOOR WAITING FOR DAVE.
YOU WALKED OVER TO HIM TO SEE WHAT HE WAS GOING TO DO NOW.
WHEN KARKAT LOOKED BEHIND HIM HE SAW YOU STANDING THERE. HE THEN WALKED A LITTLE BIT FORWARD AND THREW THE RAZOR AS FAR AS POSSIBLE.
