Kidnapped

Chapter 48: Complicated

Karl POV

I wake up to Sapnap gently nudging me, whispering incoherent words.

"Karl come on we're gonna be late"

I sit up and rub my face, having not slept well but better than usual at the same time.

"We don't know your situation but my mum said you can keep your things here and stay for as long as you need to"

"No- your mum really doesn't need to do that Sapnap"

I get out of the bed and rub my eyes as I stand up.

"It's fine Karl, come on we already put some things you'll need in both our bags"

Sapnap puts a hand on my back and walks me out the room.

We go down the stairs where his mum had a plate waiting.

"Morning Karl! Make sure you eat something before you go"

She pushes the plate over to me as I sit down.

"Thank you"

"That bruise looks nasty, do you want some ice?"

"It's alright it'll be gone in a few days"

I finish my food and hop off the chair.

"Thank you for breakfast and letting me stay, I promise I'll sort everything out" I say as I put my shoes on.

"No worries your welcome to stay as long as you need to"

"Bye mum!" Sapnap calls out as the 3 of us leave, getting into his car.

Quackity opens the passenger door for me to get in which I do, putting my seatbelt on as he gets into the back.

Sapnap starts driving, Quackity sitting up with his seatbelt on to start a conversation.

"So what happened last night?" He asks.

"Oh uh, so my dad kicked me out the house"

"Why did he kick you out?" Sapnap asks.

"We...don't get along" I shift in my seat.

"Was he the one that gave you that bruise?" Sapnap asks again.

"He's only nice when my mum's home, I'll talk to her today but I don't think I'll ever go home, at least not for a while"

"Why did you never tell anyone we could've prevented this ages ago?" Quackity asks.

"How long has it been going on?" Sapnap adds.

"Uhh probably like 2 years I think, I told George he helped me with it and then..yeah, that's why he came to me to help him"

"You're staying with me then" Sapnap states, pulling up into Bad's house.

"Okay..thank you both by the way" I faintly smile, taking off my seatbelt and getting out the car with them.

"Let's have a good time with our friends yeah? We can talk more later" Quackity smiles as Sapnap knocks on the door.

The door opens to a very excited Bad, a smile from ear to ear.

"There you guys are! Come in we were about to start getting ready to leave- Woah Karl what happened to you?"

"Long story, Where are we going?" Sapnap asks as we walk inside.

Bad shows us where the mattresses were, allowing us to put the things we wanted to leave here down.

"Karl?" George asks, walking up to me from where he was sitting.

"George!" I give him a hug as he pulls away almost instantly, looking at the bruise on my face.

"I'm safe now, I'm staying with Sapnap" I reassure him and he nods, giving me another surprising hug.

"I told you to contact me if things got bad"

"I would've but I wanted you and Dream to be able to hangout, besides I had a good night anyway" I smile and look down.

"Oh my god"

"What?" I ask him, a small smile on his face.

Something was different about George, it felt like he was getting more comfortable.

"You still have feel-"

"Shut up" I laugh and feel my face heat up.

"How are you not together?" He whispers.

"Well we were all kind of dealing with loosing you, and it's complicated"

"Is that complication Quackity by any chance?"

I faintly smile and give a small nod.

"George, Karl come on the others are already in the car" Skeppy says, holding the door open.

"Let's finish this conversation later" He says, leaving the house as I follow him.

We took Skeppy's car as it was a 7 seater, none of us still had any idea where we were headed except from Skeppy.

That surprised no one since he was probably the one to help Bad set up most of tonight's plans.

I looked around at everyone talking, noticing I had zoned out the window.

Quackity caught my eye and gave me a warm smile, making my face heat up again and smile back.

I look over to Sapnap who seemed to be having a deep conversation with George, they hadn't hung out much since George was back.

Dream was nagging at Bad to tell him where they were going, typical.

"How much longerrrrr" Dream whined.

"Another 20 minutes so quit your whinging, it'll be worth the wait" Bad smiles and Dream groans, turning around.

I was curious myself as to what Bad had planned but I knew whatever it was I was just happy to be spending the day and night with my friends.

At least enjoy the day before I speak to my mum about all the drama.

I mean how do you tell your own mother that you don't want to come home because your dad, the man that she loves, abuses you and kicked you out?

I can't tell her that can I?

"Karl?"

I turn and look at Quackity.

"Dream swap seats with me"

"Yes! Finally give me a window to look out of"

They swap places quickly and carefully, putting their seatbelts back on.

George and Sapnap were behind us but were speaking quietly while the 3 of us sat in the middle.

"Hey" I smile.

"Hey, whatcha thinking about?"

"Just..what I'm going to say to my mum and stuff"

"Stop worrying so much, you'll deal with it later, she's your mum I'm sure you guys will work through it" He reassures me.

I really had to figure out these feelings, I can't like them both can I?

Can I?
