AN: Sorry it took ages. I'm still getting back in the swing of school and stuff. Anyways, eeeeeenjooooy!
Karkat found himself in the waiting room of the A&E again, but this time, he was even more scared than he was last time. This wasn't just a school friend, or just a friend. This was his best friend. The friend that always calmed him down, the friend that had been a shoulder to lean on, the friend he loved like a brother, even though he'd never tell him that. Karkat couldn't live without Gamzee.
Karkat found himself curled up on the cold, white floor, his back pressed against the stone wall, crying, though he wouldn't admit it. He had his face buried into his knees, which is why he didn't notice anyone approaching until a hand touched his shoulder. He looked up to find John and co., standing there, John kneeling down with a hand on his shoulder. "What are you guys doing here?" Karkat asked, his voice hoarse from crying.
"Did you really think we'd just sit there when we heard a bro in need? That would not be cool."
"Almost as uncool as you, then, Strider." The shorter boy said, causing the other three to laugh and Dave cross his arms in an almost 'I've-had-enough-of-this-childish-tomfoolery' way. "So what happened?" Jade asked, sitting down next to Karkat and crossing her legs like an adorable nursery child.
"...Do you guys remember Gamzee?"
"Yeah. What about him?"
"H-he...well, h-h-he..."
"You don't have to say. I think I know what happened." Rose said, sighing. Karkat's four friends sat with him, and eventually he found himself, well, neutral, and sometimes even smiling and laughing along with them. It wasn't until the nurse came out of the room Gamzee had been rushed into that the mood drastically changed. She looked sympathetic. He's dead. He's gone, and I can't do anything about it. Karkat thought to himself. He shook away that thought quickly. He didn't need to be crying again. "Where's Gamzee? Is he OK?"
"...I am so, so sorry, Mr Vantas. We've lost him."
AN: CLIIIIFFFYYYY! I'm sorry it's so short. Review to rage or cry or say how bad it is, because a review is a review and someone took the time to write it, which makes me feel great! :D
