Sorry for the long pause in updates. Having writers block sucks! But I'll get through it. We're almost coming to an end with this story. Just a couple more chapters!
Your name is Jade Harley.
About an hour ago you received a call. A rather urgent call. You were notified that your brother, John, was in the hospital. So you did what any other loving sister would do. You got off your ass and drove thousands of miles to comfort him.
On the way there you couldn't take your mind off of him. The doctor never told you why he was there in the first place. After what seemed like hours trying to find a good parking spot, you hurried into the hospital and made your way to the receptionist.
"Hello. I'm here to see a patient named John Egbert."
"Are you Ms. Jade Harley?"
"Yep."
"He's on the second floor in room 413."
"Thank you!" Instead of waiting for an elevator, you dash all the way upstairs. It takes you a minute or two to find his room, but when you do you burst right in.
"John!" You didn't mean to say his name so loud, but gosh you haven't seen him in so long! But your outburst doesn't seem to startle him at all. In fact he didn't even move.
"John?" you repeat softer. This time he turns to look at you with bug puffy red eyes.
"Hi Jade" he croaks.
"Oh John! What happened?" You hurry by his side and take his hand into yours.
"Just a little bruised up. That's all" he says forcing a sad smile.
"Well I see that! I want to know what happened. And why are your eyes so red. W-were you crying?" you ask. He doesn't respond right away. For a while he avoided eye contact and looked out the window. Finally he looked at you with watering eyes and nodded. You squeeze his hand tighter.
"John. Talk to me. What happened?" He looks at you for a second, and then motions his head towards a little desk beside his bed. On the desk is a small note that you take and read. But boy you wish you didn't. A bunch of different feelings well up inside of you. You're sad and hurt for John, but part of you is angry and shocked that Karkat would do this to him. You knew how much they loved each other. No. Love each other. Karkat still loves him, and John sure as hell loves him to! There's still hope for the both of them. You look over to John to see him crying again. You reach into your purse and hand him a tissue. You give him a couple of minutes to compose himself before you speak.
"I'm going to see Karkat. After I do that I'm coming back here and you're going to tell me Everything that happened to you and why he didn't prevent it." You were mad.
"Wait ja-." Before he could finish you were out the door and heading out to find Karkat.
