Don't hang up. Can't we talk?
So confused, it's like I'm lost
What went wrong? What made you go?
Don't pretend you don't know
This is me - I'm unchangeable
When did we fall apart?
Or did you lie from the start
When you said it's only you?
I was blind, such a fool
Thinking we were unbreakable

Rain fell from the cloudy sky, making the humid Texas weather even worse than it already was. Your tears mingled with the raindrops that splashed your face. Dave Strider, your long-time boyfriend of five years, had just broke up with you. And not only had he broken up with you, he had done it via text message. How much douchebaggier could you get?

It was you and me against the world
And you promised me forevermore
Was it something that I said?
Was it something that I did?
'Cause I gotta know what made me unbeautiful

What did I do? Did I say something? Am I not pretty enough? Millions of thoughts like this sped through your mind a mile a minute. You sniffed. Crying was the last thing you should be doing right now. What you needed was a good romcom and a big bowl of Ben and Jerry's. Maybe you could borrow one of Karkat's old ones...

I've been told what's done is done
To let it go and carry on
And deep inside, I know that's true
I'm stuck in time, stuck on you
We were still untouchable

You knocked loudly on your friend's door. There was a crash and loud cursing. A smile made its way onto your face. At least Karkat was okay. The grumpy troll opened the door, his habitual scowl plastered on his face. 

"WHAT DO YOU WANT, NOOKSUCKER? DID TEREZI STEAL ALL YOUR RED SOCKS AGAIN? I'M NOT FUCKING GETTING THEM BACK, [Y/N]." The normalness of his voice made something inside of you snap. You practically knocked the poor guy over, sobbing into his shoulder. Karkat, for once, was speechless. You never cried, and I mean never cried.

"[Y- Y/N]? What is it?" 

"H- H- He doesn't love me, Karkles!"

It was you and me against the world
And you promised me forevermore
Was it something that I said?
Was it something that I did?
'Cause I gotta know what made me unbeautiful

"I CAN'T BELIEVE HE DUMPED YOU OVER GODDAMNED FUCKING TEXT. HE'S GONNA BE FUCKING IN TROUBLE ONCE EVERYONE HEARS ABOUT THIS." You sat numbly on Karkat's floor, a tub of [F/F] ice cream in your lap. He had been ranting like this for what seemed like hours. 

Honestly, you were in shock. The full reality of the situation had hit you, and now your mind was struggling to make the connection between Dave and ex-boyfriend. 

"Karkat? Am I pretty?" The innocent question stopped your best friend mid-sentence.

"What?"

"Am I pretty?"

"WELL OF COURSE YOU ARE. IS THIS BECAUSE OF STRIDER? I SWEAR, I'M GOING TO RIP HIS BALLS OFF AND SHOVE THEM DOWN HIS GODDAMNED THROAT."

Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, 'cause I'm only dreaming
Get out, get out, get out, get out, get out of my head now
Because we're much better altogether
Can't let go

It had been two weeks since the break-up, and you were woken up every night in tears. You didn't remember what you had dreamt, but you had a sneaking suspicion that it had to do with Dave. Your friends were worried about you. You hadn't smiled or laughed since that day. You hadn't even left your house.

Rose, being the level-headed girl she was, suggested that they all take turns watching out for you and making sure Dave came nowhere near you.

It was you and me against the world
And you promised me forevermore
Was it something that I said?
Was it something that I did?
'Cause I gotta know what made me unbeautiful
It was you and me against the world
And you promised me forevermore
Was it something that I said?
Was it something that I did?
'Cause I gotta know what made me unbeautiful
Made me unbeautiful

You never could figure out why Dave left you. You had given him no reason to, but he apparently had gotten bored and found a 'perfect' and 'ironic' woman to replace you. Sometimes you saw him at a distance, usually with the same bimbo on his arm every single time. 

What made me unbeautiful?
Yup. More angst.
