tongue tied (Karl x oc)

nineteen

AN: now these are usually flashbacks, but I wrote in a dream this time..

It was past curfew and Karl and I had snuck out again, we walked over to our favourite park, rushing to the swings together. I sat on my swing and grinned at Karl as I started swinging, I looked up at the stars as the swings flung, Karl and I both looked at each other with a smile now.
"Promise me you'll never leave me.." Karl spoke over the sound of the swing-set,
"What..?" I looked at him as best as I could as we both moved,
"Promise me you'll never leave me.." He repeated.
"Karl I promise. Never. I love you.." I felt myself get light headed and I fell off my swing, I whined in pain and looked over at the swing set for Karl but his swing was empty, swaying by itself,
"Karl.?!" I shouted through the empty park as I sat there holding my knee. I felt myself begin to cry, where was he..? "Karl!" I choked on my tears.
"Karl!?" I cried as I looked down at my bloody knee, I began to cry even harder, scared, I needed him. He always made me feel better..

I shot up as I cried, looking around I remembered where I was. I wanted Karl right now..I wiped my eyes and I blinked as I searched for Jimmy but the bed was empty with only me inside. I turned over to my side of the bed, going to grab my phone off the nightstand but a note laid on top of it. I picked it up as I yawned, reading Jimmy's handwriting,

I had a great time with you, we went to bed at six a.m so i'm assuming you'll be reading this late :p
I'm going to work, don't worry about rushing to get out of my place, take your time shower, and don't be shy to make yourself some breakfast.

I smiled at the note and stretched my arms out in his bed again. "What a cute thing to wake up to.." I mumbled still wanting to see Karl.

Karl's Pov

I sighed as I walked into the streaming room, Chandler looked over at me with a grin as I sat down. "Mia and I made out.." I made a disgusted face at him, "Gross. She sucks!"
Chandler gasped, "Why do you say that..?"
"She's just so girly.."
"Awww Karl, don't be jealous, Im sure you'll find someone to make out with eventually.." Chandler laughed at me and I rolled my eyes,
"Do you like her..?"
Chandler shrugged, "A bit..she's really funny.."
"Im surprised, I've known her for a few years and haven't been that interested in getting to know her anymore than I have to. She just doesn't seem like my type of person..But im glad you're into her.." I smiled at him, Jimmy then walked into the room and I rolled my eyes hard.
"Hey Karl, mind if we talk..?" He looked over at me and I got up, following him out of the room, he crossed his arms as he stared down at me.
"What's up..?" I asked knowing this would probably be about Riley. I really wasn't in the mood to be talking to him right now, I was just so annoyed, Riley completely shut me out yesterday, and put him first...It made me feel like crap.
"I wanted to ask you, what's Riley's favourite thing to do? I wanna do something special for her the next time we hangout.." Jimmy grinned at me and I sighed, "What'd you two do yesterday..? Just so I can figure out what you've already done.." I avoided making eye contact with him, but now I was starting to realize I shouldn't be annoyed of him, she was the one who was being rude, it wasn't his fault he likes her, I mean how could I ever blame him for that.
"Riley took me to this hill, looking over Nc, and we just kind of talked, and then she drove me home and she was going to leave but I texted her to come back, and we watched kitchen nightmares, but we mostly talked all night, we kissed a lot too. She's a really good kisser.." Jimmy smiled widely and I felt disgusted, what is up with people and telling me their making out with people, what the honk man.
And she took him out to the hill? The hill? Our spot. She promised me that we would never take anyone there, I bit my lip harshly and looked at Jimmy again, "She really likes arcades Jimmy. Think fun stuff, like paint balling, or go karting, she's got a lot of energy, she likes fun stuff, and then when stuff gets tiring she likes simple things, like laying in bed and watching death note, late night drives, playing mine craft, she's pretty simple, I don't know how many times we've just laid in one of our beds and listened to a play list we made together, and started dancing all over the bed.." I smiled to myself and I lost it as I realized I was giving Jimmy points to score with her..I was really losing her now.
"Thanks so much Karl..I took note of all of that. And don't worry about Riley okay..? She's in good hands with me.." Jimmy patted my shoulder and began walking to his gaming room. I picked up my phone out of my pocket and quickly texted George for advice.

Karl: They kissed. She took him to our spot, she promised she would never do that. And she ignored me all night, she's never acted this way before George.
1m

Georgie: Im gonna kick her for you. She broke a promise? :[
Karl you need to tell this girl how you feel before she starts dating him.
1m

Karl: But I don't even know how I feel
just now

George: figure it out and fast, or if you can't just tell her how you feel about all of it, that you're scared you're losing her and everything..just be honest with her..<3
just now

I parked at our house, my fingers fidgeting as I figured out what I could say to her, the right things, without making it sound weird. I didn't wanna cost us our friendship, but it already felt like I was losing her..I unbuckled my seatbelt and made my way to the front door, pushing it open I made my way inside.
"Riley.?!" I shouted as I walked in.
