I'm going to end your suffering and give you this chapter. You're welcome. ;)

Gary shut the door, leaving Karkat and Terezi alone in the room. Karkat could only stare at her. She seemed to have completely deteriorated. Her hair was a mess, she had makeup on but it was ruined from tears. Her nails were chipped, like she'd been biting them a lot. She lay on the floor, sobbing and covering her head with her hands. Karkat eventually got up from his bed and stood a few feet away from her.

"What is it?" he asked. Terezi looked up at him with pleading eyes.

"I-it's Dave!" she moaned. Karkat sighed.

"It didn't work out." Terezi shook her head.

"He ran off with this guy named John."

"Wait, isn't that our Science teacher's name?" Karkat asked.

"He has a son with the same name as him." Terezi said, taking some deep breaths. She looked up at Karkat and burst out crying again. "I-I don't know what to do now! I know I really hurt you before, but I-I'm lonely! I don't want to be alone!"

"Terezi-"

"Please! Just, please be with me again! I'm sorry for what I did! I am! So please!" Terezi grabbed Karkat's hands and he jerked them away from her. She collapsed and cried even harder. "Please, don't let me be alone!"

"I…" Karkat hesitated. What was he supposed to do? She cheated on him, and she came back to him?! "I need to think about it." Terezi looked up at him with those pleading eyes again.

"Please…" she moaned.

"I haven't said no. I just need to think." Karkat said. "You-you should probably get home. It's getting late." Terezi got up and staggered out of the room. Karkat closed the door and sat down on his bed. What was going on?! He didn't understand his life anymore! It had been so simple at first, just him and Terezi dating and Kanaya taking care of him! Now it was all so messed up! Then Karkat's phone went off.

GA: Karkat, As You Know, Nepeta And I Are At The Dentist's. I Believe We Will Be Awhile, Nepeta Is Being Rather…Difficult.

CG: OKAY.

Karkat put his phone down and lay down. He stared at the ceiling, feeling helpless. Kanaya wasn't there to talk to him, and she was really the only person he could talk to. Karkat sighed and sat up. He looked around his room for something to distract himself. He went to his desk and started rummaging through the papers on it. Then he noticed a small folded-up piece of paper. He picked it up and unfolded it.

It was Feferi's phone number. Karkat didn't remember putting it there. Kanaya must have when she went through his laundry. Karkat looked at the phone number for a few seconds. He sat down on his bed and picked up his phone. After hesitating he dialed the number.

"Hello?" Feferi answered.

"Hi, it's Karkat."

"What's wrong?"

"What—how did you know something's wrong?"

"You never called me before, even when you and Terezi broke up. You don't have anyone else our age to talk to, and if you're actually phoning me then something's really wrong. What is it?"

"Terezi came to see me."

"What did she say?"

"Dave left her for a guy. She was a sobbing mess and wouldn't calm down. She-she begged me to get back together with her."

"I see. What did you say?"

"I told her I'd think about it."

"So you want advice?"

"Yeah. I mean, she cheated on me, and now she wants to get back together with me! I don't get it! And I did like her while we were dating, maybe I still do, I don't know. I can't figure out what to do."

"I don't think you should get back with her."

"Really?"

"She's basically using you like a back-up plan. Once she's not such a wreck she'll probably find someone else and dump you again."

"Huh…"

"Um, that's just my opinion. I could be wrong, so you don't have to listen to me."

"No, what you said makes sense."

"…Do you want to hang out with me and my friends?"

"Huh?"

"You just sound kind of lonely. And you don't have any friends at school. You always seem alone when you're sitting by yourself during lunch."

"Oh."

"You don't have to, of course. Some people prefer being alone."

"…No, I'll hang out with you guys."

"Really?"

"Sure."

"Okay. I hope I didn't pressure you into that decision."

"You didn't. And…thanks."

"You're welcome."

Karkat hung up and put his phone down. He sighed and lay down and covered his eyes with his arm. He was surprised with himself. He'd actually agreed to hang out with some kids. Usually he would disagree because those kids just wanted his wealth, but Feferi didn't seem to be after that. Karkat juts hoped he wouldn't regret his decision.

It wasn't until awhile after I'd written this that I realized John Jr and Dave are cousins. But there's their reason for running away.

Anyway, hope everyone liked the chapter.

Bye.
