The room was dark. It was as if the darkness was reaching out and snatching all the light, holding it close to itself to keep it from shining. It was quiet, with the exception of soft breathing. The dull aroma of faint iron and wilted flowers could easily be detected, along with an atmosphere of melancholy so thick that you could feel it settling on your skin.
If you weren't paying attention, it would have been easy not to notice someone curled up on a small couch so over used that you could feel every thread weaved into the material and every small tear in the furniture if you were to run your hand across the back of it.
It, or she, more specifically; was resting her head on the arm of the couch, stringy black hair covering her small face. Her skinny legs were pulled up to her shrunken chest, bony arms wrapped around them. A small bottle was in her grasp, most likely to be pills, rattling against her legs. Her eyes were half closed, her sullen green eyes looking off to no where, or maybe a far off memory that she's recalling. Heavy bags rested underneath her eyes, and her face was sickly pale.
Her mind was hazy and she didn't know what day it was, or how long she had been laying there. She wasn't hungry. She was never hungry. And she knew she needed to get out of the house, get a lowly job at a gardening center, and hang out with her friends. Friends? Her 'friends' stopped coming long ago. It wasn't her fault that she didn't want to deal with their pleading and bull shit.
It's not like they know whats its like to lose the one person you loved the most so quickly, so suddenly. Who are they to judge her?
It was all so clear, they went through the game together, defeated Lord English and slayed Bec Noir together, and he confessed to her, red tears toppling down his grey face, screaming that he didn't want to go back 'home', that he wanted to be with the humans, that he wanted to be with her. Then he confessed that he wanted to make love to her. So they did.
Breathing heavily next to each other and glowing after their night, he rolled onto his side and held her hands tightly, squeezing them.
"Jade," He had said, staring straight into her eyes."Jade Harley, I love you, and always have, and always will. I don't want you to forget that. No matter how much of an asshole I am, I hope that you can see through it and know that I really do love you."
Jade smiled and scooted closer to him, nuzzling into the crook of his neck. "I love you too, Karkat. I wouldn't ever want to love anyone else."
And then he was gone.
A year later, Jade slowly woke up, light streaming into their room. She tossed onto her other side to be able to face Karkat. But he wasn't facing her.
"Morning, babe." she said softly, hoping to see if he was awake.
But he didn't move. After a few moments of staring into his back, dazed, she realized that she couldn't hear his breathing, and that he was completely still. She stood up, then softly started shaking his body.
"Karkat, come on, wake up! Karkat, wake up!! Karkat! Karkat!!"
His skin was cold, and it would have been colder if it wasn't for the heat radiating off of Jade's tan skin. And Jade knew it. He was on the bottom of the hemospectrum, a 'mutant blood' as he called himself, and had the shortest life span of the trolls. And it wasn't fair. It wasn't fucking fair at all.
Jade shut down after that, she never did anything, never spoke much either. Rose, now a full fledged therapist, tried to talk to her, comfort her, but Jade just pushed her away. She pushed everyone away. It was so much easier to turn out the lights, sit down on her couch, swallow a few pills to dull the pain, and walk through memory lane. Because in her memories, she could be with her beloved Karkat.
Her head was pounding, and her eyes felt like they were burning. Her fingers unlatched the cap of the bottle, a few pills spilling out into the palms of her hands. She brought her hand up to her mouth, swallowing her pills dry. There were only two reminders left on her fingers, A green one for pills, and a bright red one for him.
