Dave: Go back to being Karkat


You are once again Karkat Vantas, and you are currently heart broken. You just saw your crush ask out your ex girlfriend and you can't take it.

You lay on your bed, /NOT/ sobbing (yeah you are so sobbing right now), when you hear a knock on your door. It opens before you could have any say to make the person leave. They sit next to you on your bed. With how light they are beside you, you can only guess that it's your mother coming to see whats wrong. You move your glance over to her and stare at her. Now, you don't look a whole lot like your mother, but you are short and thin like her and you also get the grey in your eyes from her grey eyes. Other than that you aren't a whole lot like her, with her strait dark brown hair and pale complexion and the sweetness that's naturally in her face even when she is angry. Well you do have her anger issues.

"Hey sweetie," she started, her voice is soft and sweet like normal, "how are you holding up?" You shake your head, still sobbing.

"Honey, when I was your age a boy turned me down for my best friend, and I liked that boy a lot. So I told him about my feelings, even though he was dating my friend who stopped being my friend. You want to know what happened after that?" "W-W-What?" "After high school we got married and then we had you and your brother." "Mom." "Its a true story. Look, its not the end of the world that your crush is dating your ex girlfriend. You didn't like her anyways so whats the point?" You sit up, looking at her with your tear-stained face.

"Mom. Shes the hottest chick in school and shes going out with my crush." "Its not the end of the world though, you'll be alright." You sigh and nod. "Alright sweetie. Look I got to finish making dinner, I'll call you down when its ready okay?" "Alright." She finally leaves and you lay back down on your bed, placing in your ear buds and playing some Three Days Grace. You don't want to deal with bullshit from anyone. Ever again. But you have to, your mom doesn't want you to not succeed in school. But at the same time, you don't want to do anything but stay home.


The next day you leave your house earlier than you normally leave. You usually get your brother to drive you to school since he's only two grades higher than you but this time you decide to walk. Although if you did walk that would be a poor choice since the school is almost three hours away from your house if you go through the patch of woods behind it. If you go the other way its only an hour long walk. You decide maybe to take the long way. Since its only five am and you should probably leave so you can be alone for awhile.

After awhile of walking you realize its gonna be awhile to get to school so you start to slow your pace and look around. You can be late to school. But you don't care. You pull a pack of cigarettes from your pocket that you stole from your friends sister, Damara Megido. You put one in your mouth and light it, inhaling and pulling it out, releasing the smoke. You decide maybe not to smoke more of it and toss it into a puddle on the ground. You continue walking even though you know whats approaching.

You finally get to school when you see Vriska in front of the school with Dave. They were talking. You look at your phone which is almost dead to see it was eight. You couldn't do it so you turned around and walked away from the school, running into John and shoving him over, tripping and falling on him.

And that is when you kissed him.
