-John Egbert

You are now John Egbert. You are embarrased and dejected. You made the worst mistake of life. You were so embarrased you ran out of the apartment. You are now currently as far as you could get in 5 hours on foot and by bus. You are sitting in a cafe in a hotel you are planning to stay at for the night, maybe longer. You have your credit card, laptop, and cell phone you'll be fine for a little while. You log onto your computer too see your 3 of your friends trying to chat with you. You immediatly open a group chat even though you really don't want to talk to anyone.

TG: John! Where the fuck are you, Bro?

TT: John! What's going on? Talk to us!

GG: John, we are all here for you.

EB: Hey guys. I'm fine you don't need to worry.

TT: John, keeping feelings inside does not help anything. Tell us what's wrong.

TG: Bro, you screamed at Karkat and ran out. That's not like you

EB: I'm fine, honest. I just need some time alone to think.

TG: Karkats worried about you. Where alre you?

EB: Just at a hotel cafe. Karkat is worried about me?

TT: John this may be beyond your testosterone driven thoughts but Karkat likes you. Likes you likes you I mean.

EB: He rejected me.

GG: What did he say?

EB: Um, he said 'What the fuck are yoh spouting about'.

TG: Bro, that wasn't a rejection. I mean, it probably sounded like it was coming from Big Mouth, but believe us when we say he likes you.

EB: I don't know. I just need time too think. Rose, Dave, Jade thanks for trying, but I just need too think. I'll call you when I get back.

GG: Ok John. If that's what you need we will leave you alone.

TT: Yes John. Just know we're here for you if you need us, and we support you.

TG: Good luck, Bro.

EB: Thanks guys. Bye.

You close you're laptop and lean back in your seat. Could what they said be true? Does Karkat like you? It's possible. They said he was worried about you. That was not your intention. You figure maybe you should go back. You decide to spend one more night here. Think about everything and try to figure this out. You get up and head up to your room.

You are in your room watching TV when your phone rings. You look at the number. Him again! What does he want!? You ignore the call. You won't worry about it. He hasn't bugged you for years. You go back to thinking about Karkat and watching TV.
