Chapter Seven:

*John's POV*

"John." I froze at the sudden sound of my name.

The Person who was gripping my arm gripped it tighter, and I found myself being unable to breathe.

We both stood like that for a couple minutes until the voice behind me cleared their throat.

"John?" The voice repeated only this time in an apologetic tone.

I gulped and turned around. I was surprised to see Vriska Serket looking up at me with pleading eyes and a hand on my arm.

I cracked a crooked grin.

"Hey." I breathed.

She blushed and quickly removed her hand from my arm.

She looked down and tried to hide her embarrassment.

"H-hi John." She answered as her eyes locked onto her feet.

I looked down at her and she still wouldn't look up at me.

We didn't say anything, the only sound came from people being too loud and the beat of the music.

After about ten seconds, I put my hands in my pockets and smiled.

"What's up Vriska?"

Her head snapped up in surprised but she smiled.

"Hey John...How are you liking the party?" She replied.

I felt a sense of victory when she talked. It was like I was the one that made her talk.

I shrugged and shook my head. "I don't know to be honest...this is my first party and it's not really my scene."

She raised her eyebrows. "It's your first party?"

I nodded. "Yep."

She smirked. "Why they didn't have parties in that stupid town you used to live in?"

"Hey! It's not stupid and yes! Yes they did. I just never went to them."

She raised her eyebrows curiously.

"How come?"

I shrugged again. "Like I said, it's not my scene plus, I was never invited." I admitted.

She laughed. "Well there's a shock."

I laughed along with her.

"So, you never crashed any of those parties?"

I shook my head. "No, I'm not much of a party crasher."

She nodded slowly. "That's a shame, crashing a party is so much more fun than getting invited to one."

"How so?"

She shrugged. "I don't know the fear of getting caught keeps your adrenaline running the whole time."

I nodded and smiled. "Alright, I'll keep that in mind."

She smirked. "So, this is seriously the first party you've ever been to?"

"Yep." I replied popping the P.

She nodded. "Alright, I better make it memorable for you then...Want another beer?" She asked pointing to the guy handing the beer out.

I hesitated. I already had a few but I didn't feel so bad yet, a couple more couldn't hurt.

I nodded. "Sure."

She smiled, turned around and asked for two beers. The guy gave her two cups and she handed one to me.

Suddenly, the music grew louder. I could barely hear Vriska even though she was only a foot in front of me.

"Hey John!" She shouted.

"Yeah?!"

"Do you wanna go for a walk in Gamzee's back yard?! It's getting really crowded and loud in here! Plus Gamzee's backyard is really big!"

"Sure, you lead the way!"

She motioned for me to follow her. She lead me to the back door of Gamzee's house and I followed her outside. She was right, Gamzee's backyard was huge. There was barely anyone out there and it was quieter (not immensely, you could still hear the music but it was much more quiet than inside the house).

She gently closed the door and walked up into the grass. She put her cup of beer down and started taking off her shoes.

"Uh, Vriska what are you doing?"

"Taking my shoes off." She answered as if it was the most casual thing in the world.

"Uh, I can see that...But why?"

Once she had peeled her socks off she stood up and smiled.

"I loved walking in bare feet through grass." She responded in almost a whisper.

I nodded slowly. "Huh."

"You should try it."

"What?"

"You should try it." She repeated.

"Why?"

She took a deep breath. "It feels nice against your feet."

I hesitated. She smiled.

"Come on Joooooooohn! It's okay, your feet won't get hurt I promise."

I just stared at her blankly as she stared back with a challenging look on her face.

I finally sighed and gave in.

"Alright."

"Yes!" She cheered.

I rolled my eyes, kicked my shoes off, and threw my socks on the ground. I then gently let my feet touch the grass. Vriska watched carefully looking extremely amused.

"You're enjoying this aren't you?" I asked.

She gave me a sassy smirk. "Have you ever ran in grass with no shoes on?"

I shrugged. "I don't know, maybe when I was a kid but I don't remember."

She shook her head. "You're missing out."

I rolled my eyes.

"Come on John follow me!" She shouted and started running toward a tall oak tree near the back of Gamzee's yard.

I sighed heavily and ran off to follow her.

The feeling of grass brushing against the bottom of my feet was different. it was soft but tough at the same time. It was cold and stung a bit, but not the point where it was unpleasant.

I ran to the tree but when I got there, I saw that Vriska was no where to be found.

"Vriska?" I called. "Vriska?"

Suddenly, she jumped out from out of nowhere and had pinned me down to the ground.

She laughed loudly. "Gotcha Egbert!"

"Where the hell did you come from?!" I demanded.

She laughed again and pushed herself off of me. "I was sitting in the tree."

I sat up, my head spinning just a bit. But I ignored it and watched Vriska instead.

"When I first met Gamzee in grade nine I would come over all the time and climb this tree." She explained as she grabbed a tree brand with her hands and started swinging her feet back and forth from the ground.

"Wait, how long has everyone known each other for?"

She wrinkled her eyebrows and let go of the tree. She landed safely on her feet. "What do you mean?"

"Well, everyone's always talking about elementary school and about how you've known each other your whole lives... I was just wondering when everyone met."

Vriska nodded and sat down by the tree. "It's a fair question."

I crawled over and sat beside her, leaning my back against the tree.

"I've known Karkat all my life...Like, really it's not even a metaphor or whatever. I've known him since the day I was born..."

I could sense a story coming on, so I waited.

"He lives in the same apartment building I do with his older brother and his Dad. His Dad's an asshole he has been since forever but his mom is sweet... He was born four months before me and his mom would always convince my mom to bring me over for 'playdates'... Not exactly sure how that works though because we were babies, the only thing we knew was sleeping, eating, crying, and pooping but whatever."

She paused.

"We got older and we were best friends, we were inseparable. We'd always play hide-n-seek outside the apartment building and we'd run up and down the hallway and ride up and down the elevator until we'd get yelled at. After that we'd start running up and down the stairs. When it came time to go to school we were in the same kindergarten class. He was nervous as hell to go into school. Honestly, he wouldn't let go of his mom's leg and his eyes and face was bright red from crying." She chuckled a bit and shook her head. "I wasn't scared at all, I couldn't wait to go to school... I mean... I just wanted to get away from my mom." She said the last bit quietly.

"Then, in kindergarten, that's where I met Aradia, Terezi, and Nepeta. They were in the same class as Karkat and I. I remember, they were roleplaying and I thought it was the greatest thing in the whole world so then I started roleplaying with them! It was great! Karkat will never admit it but he started roleplaying with us too and i'm pretty sure he liked it! Now, he thinks roleplaying stupid but whatever."

She turned to me to see if I was paying attention. When I smiled at her, she smiled back and she continued. She cleared her throat.

"I met Sollux, Feferi, and Eridan the next year. They weren't in the same class as me but I met them during recess when Aradia, Terezi, Nepeta, Karkat, and me were roleplaying. Aradia and Sollux immediately hit it off and I immediately wanted to hit Eridan in the face for being an annoying douche but, we played pirates together so that was fun... I met Tavros in grade three...He was new in our school and he was extremely shy. I just I felt like I needed to go up and say hi..."

I frowned when I noticed her voice cracking...Was she about to cry?

She quickly shook her head and took a deep breath. "And I met Gamzee on the first day of high school. He was from a different elementary school and I thought he was cool and yeah..." She quickly ended her story and I noticed her wiping her eyes with her sleeves.

I frowned and suddenly felt the need to ask her something.

"Vriska?"

"Yeah?" She answered while looking away.

"Can I ask you something."

She hesitated but then nodded slowly. "Sure John, what is it?"

"Why do...Why does..." I sighed.

I noticed her wrinkle her eyebrows.

"What is it?" She asked.

"What did you do?"

She turned her head toward me. "What?" she demanded.

"What did...What did you do-I-I mean..."

She looked frightened. "What do you mean John?"

"I-I just... Everyone talks about the things you did..." I hated myself for even asking.

I looked at her, she looked hurt and somewhat shocked.

Then she smirked but there was no trace of humour in her face.

She then closed her eyes.

"Things happened John...There's a reason I'm not friends with those people anymore and I'm okay with that...Sorta. They don't deserve me they deserve better than me. I'm just in the way and I did them a favour by leaving...I was already causing them so much pain." She said the last bit softly.

She then opened her eyes and I noticed tears falling down her face.

I tried to wipe them away but she smacked my hand away.

She started sniffling and then she started full out sobbing. I didn't know what to do, I wanted to hold her and calm her down but I was afraid she might push me away or something. I watched as the tears rolled down her face uncontrollably and as she started tugging on her hair. It was when she started pulling on her hair that worried me, it was almost as if she was trying to stop herself from yanking it out but at the same time really wanted to.

"Vriska stop don't do that-"

"No! No John you don't understand I deserve this!"

"What?! What do you deserve Vriska being in pain?!"

She cried and nodded. "Yes John! That's all I've caused everyone that's all I deserve!"

"No! Vriska you're wrong! You don't deserve pain or suffering! It doesn't matter how many people you've hurt they can always forgive you-"

She laughed humourlessly and stood up. "Who are you kidding John! I'm Vriska Serket! I'm the big bully of the whole school that everyone hates! I'm the terrible friend that causes friends to either go blind or almost kill themselves! I'm the useless good-for-nothing daughter that comes home to a mom that's never happy with her! It's all my fault! IT'S ALL MY FAULT! I DESERVE EVERY BIT OF PAIN THROWN AT ME! IT'S ALL MY FAULT! No wonder they all hate me! I mean, not that I blame him! It's also my fault that he...that he-he..." She suddenly paused. Her eyes grew wide as if she realised that she had said things that she shouldn't have said.

I stood up and put my hands on her shoulders.

"Vriska... It's your fault that he what?" I almost demanded.

She shook her head and tried to turn away. "No, John-"

I gripped her shoulders tighter. "What and who were you talking about?"

I tried not to raise my voice. I wasn't sure why I needed to know what she was talking about...But everything she had told me made me worry for her even more.

She shook her head and then took a step back. She studied me carefully.

"John?" She asked gently.

"Yes?" I asked trying to calm my inner fury down.

"How drunk are you right now?"

The question surprised me. "What why?"

She took a small step toward me. "If something were to happen right now, would you remember it when you woke up?"

I shook my head. "I-I don't know, like I said it's my first party and it's the first time I've ever drank alcohol in my life."

She took another step towards me and placed her hands on my shoulders.

"Please try not to remember this."

"Try not to remember what-" Her lips were on mine before I could finish my sentence.

I was shocked at first, I didn't know what to do it had been so long since I'd been kissed. But her lips felt so soft that I kissed back.

She wrapped her arms around my neck and I wrapped mine around her waist.

We continued kissing, our kisses were tiny experimenting kisses but they were great. Then, something happened. Our kisses deepened and grew more passionate. I carried her and she took the opportunity to wrap her legs around my waist. I pinned her body to the tree as she licked my lips wanting entry. I opened my mouth and she slipped her tongue in. Our tongues danced together and explored each others mouths. After a couple seconds we pulled away for a breath of air, but I felt intoxicated. My lips found her neck and started leaving butterfly kisses all over it. She let out a shaky breath and tightened her grip around my neck. My lips moved up to her jaw bone, then her cheek, and then found her lips again.

We continued making out when suddenly, she started crying.

I quickly pulled away from her and looked at her with an alarmed look.

"Vriska, are you okay what's wrong?"

She shook her head. "John, I-I'm sorry."

"What? What are you sorry for?"

She pushed me away and hopped down to the ground.

"John, I'm really sorry but I have to go."

"Wait-"

"I'm sorry John!" She shouted and then ran back towards the house, leaving me standing in the cold night...Alone.

*Karkat's POV*

"Goddamnit Harley! Fuck I shouldn't have let this happen!"

Jade Harley was dancing to the song "Shots" by LMFAO on top of Gamzee's coffee table in the middle of the living room with a beer in her hand. I had lost track at how many she had but now she was completely drunk...I don't even know how it happened! We were having a really nice conversation!

I learned that her and John don't have the same last night because (despite the fact that they're twins) their parents never married and Jade took her mom's last name and John took his dad's. Jade and John had lived in that small town since they were born and Jade was sick of it and John was too much of a wimp to leave and John had a girlfriend and then...Somehow in the middle of it Jade got drunk.

It started out as her getting dizzy and her talking became slurred. She started tripping and having trouble walking. I should've made her stop but she wouldn't let me! And I didn't want to see her get mad! Fuck i'm so stupid!

"It's o-okay-hiccup-Karkat!" She had said. "I'm fiiiiiiiine!" She then managed to trip on a flat surface...

I didn't know what to do. I was just staring at her wide eyed as she started jumping up and down on the coffee table while singing along.

"SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS EVERYBODY! SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS EVERYBODY!" She shouted. Then, while she kept jumping and singing along the fucking table broke in half!

I quickly pushed through the crowd of people surround her laughing.

"Get out of the fucking way!" I yelled. "Let me the fuck through!"

When I finally reached her, she was laying on the ground, holding her fucking beer bottle giggling like an idiot.

"That's it!" I shouted. "I'm taking you home!" I reached my hand out for her to take it.

She looked up at me, then at my hand and started giggling.

She shook her head. "Nope!"

"What?! What do you mean no!?"

"I'm just going to stay here Karkat!"

I was taken aback. "What?"

"I'm having so much fun aren't you?!"

"No Harley I'm not and you're not going to be having much fun tomorrow when you're all hung over!"

She laughed harder. "What's that it sounds like a funny word!"

I rolled my eyes and groaned. "That's it."

I took the bottle from her and threw it away from her.

"Hey!" She shouted in protest and I grabbed her hand and pulled her up.

"Come on Jade!" I shouted and tried to lead her to the exist.

"Where are we-hiccup-going?"

"To my car."

She started giggling. "To your car?"

I wrinkled my eyebrows in confusion. "Yes Harley to my car!"

She giggled even harder. "Are we going to do fun things in your car?"

I rolled my eyes. "Just shut the fuck up!"

I shouted and pulled her out the door when I was finally able to reach it.

When we were out there the cool night air hit us. I sighed in relief, I didn't know how hot it was in there until I had walked outside.

I turned back to Jade she was having trouble even standing up.

I sighed. "You're going to need help getting to my car aren't you?"

She looked at me and started poking my face.

"Wow Karkat your face is all squishy!"

"I've had enough of this!"

I grabbed her and carried her bridal style to my car.

She kept poking my face.

"Damn it Harley cut it out!"

"Why?! Your face is so pretty!"

I rolled my eyes and set her down gently so that I could open the passenger side door.

Her hands then flew to her stomach and she turned green.

"Uh oh."

My eyes widened. "What?! Why uh oh?! What's the uh oh?!"

"I'm gonna upchu-" And that's all she had time to say before throwing up about two inches away from my shoes.

I sighed heavily as I listened to the chunky bodily fluid smack against the sidewalk.

After about two minutes it stopped. I turned to look at her. Her hands were still on her stomach and she was leaning over her pile of puke.

I frowned. "Are you okay Jade?"

She looked up at me and nodded. "Yeah."

I sighed again. "Karkat?"

"Hmm?"

"I wanna go home."

I couldn't help but smirk. "I know Jade I'm going to take you there."

I picked her up again and placed her on the passenger seat.

She leaned her head back and passed out.

I frowned again and buckled her seatbelt.

I closed the door and hurried to the drivers side. I got in, buckled up, started up my car and started to carefully drive her home. She was sleeping peacefully for a while until she started snoring and moaning occasionally. I was happy that I didn't drink too much or else I probably would've ended up just like Harley, I was never much of a drinker anyway.

When I pulled up in her driveway I saw that the living room light was still on.

"Dammit!" I swore. How the hell was I supposed to explain to her dad that she was freaking wasted?! He was going to kill me, it was inevitable..

I got out and carried Jade bridal style out of the car. Her legs and arm hung down which somehow made her heavier. I grunted as I figured out a way to ring the doorbell without dropping her. I then had the idea to ring the doorbell with my toe. I raised my foot and was about to ring the doorbell when suddenly, the door flew open. I immediately put my foot down and gulped.

It was Jade's dad.

He looked down at me with his hands on his hips. His face wore a furious look which made my knees tremble with fear.

Holy shit. Holy shit. Holy shit. Holy shit!

I prepared myself to be yelled at and even to be shot in the face but instead, he laughed.

I suddenly felt shocked and somewhat stupid.

"It's okay son! I won't hurt ya, come in and put her in her room she's probably very heavy!"

"Uh...uh, yeah! She-uh she's heavy let me just go put her down now..."

He stepped aside and let me into his house.

"Her room's upstairs let me show you."

I followed him up the stairs and into her room. It was a clean room and it smelt like a girl room...It didn't smell like stinky socks and moldy pizza like mine did...Which was probably a good thing.

I gently laid her down on her bed and watched as she turned to get comfortable.

I don't know what made me do what I did next but, I wasn't ashamed by it.

I took her shoes off and placed them beside her bed.

I then took the covers from underneath her, pulled them off and then covered her up gently. I saw her smile in her sleep and smiled myself at the cute sight that I saw before me.

I was about to turn around and leave when I noticed that Jade's dad was leaning against the frame. I jumped a little.

"Oh sorry, I-uh-I didn't see you there."

He chuckled. "No, it's alright." He turned to Jade. "Is she okay?"

I nodded. "Yeah she just had too much to drink." I chuckled nervously.

He nodded. "Yeah, I knew she would be the one to drink too much at parties...Where's John?"

"John? He's still at the party I'm going to go back and get him I just...really needed to bring her home." I explained.

He nodded. "I understand."

There was a moment of silence, then he decided to break it.

"So, what's your name."

"Karkat."

He smiled. "Oh! So you're the famous Karkat!"

I felt slightly uncomfortable at what he had said. "What?"

He laughed. "Jade talks about you non stop."

"What?! She does?!"

He laughed again and nodded. "Yep, she talks about you too much that you could say she has a crush on you."

I suddenly froze and my breath got caught in the back of my throat.

He laughed again. "Well, I'm going to go down stairs and watch TV."

He then turned around and headed downstairs.

I stood where I was and then turned to Jade.

She had a crush on me? No that couldn't be right no one had crushes on me.

I turned to look at her sleeping figure, she looked so cute...So beautiful.

I sighed and ran my fingers through her hair.

I smiled. "Good night Harley."

Okay guys that's it! I hope you liked it. I must say i really enjoyed writing the JadeKat scene! Anyways I'll see you guys next time! Bye!
