Troubled pasts (a Horrorlust story)

The betrayal

(A/N I just wanna take this opportunity to say thank you so much for over one THOUSAND reads, I never thought that the story would get this far but I guess you proved me wrong, thank you. Alright, now on with the story)

Horrors POV
I forcefully explained the story to Dave, he looked pleased "is that all?" Dave asked as he lazily applied the cast on my wrist. "Y-yeah...t-that's it" he stood up and opened my bedroom door "that's all I needed" "W-wait! What are you gonna do to him?" "Nothing, if he obeys me" Dave left and locked the door again. I sobbed into my hands.

"I betrayed my friend...my only friend"

Third person POV

A few days later

"He hasn't come out for days" lust muttered to himself as he slowly walked towards horrors room, worried about the fate of his friend, he was outside the door, he peeked into the window and saw him sobbing, lust wanted to do something to help, but the door was locked "there's only one person who could've done this to him" lust said as he walked to reception.

"But yeah we can get you this room by tomorrow-" lust walked in "hey can we talk?" Dave looked at the customer "...give me a minute" the customer nodded as Dave stood up and walked to the employee lounge, lust followed him and closed the door.

"What do you want?" Dave looked at lust noticeably annoyed "What have you done to horror?" Lust asked while glaring at him "I did what had to be done" "you...what did you do?!" "All I did was simply force him to tell me something" lust grabbed daves shirt and pulled him down to his height "what the fuck do you mean by force?!" Dave shoved him off "now you listen here, you better think twice about putting your hands on a person who, is not only your boss, but also a person who will fuck you up, am I clear?" Lust stayed silent

"...thought so, see ya lust"

Lusts POV
I froze, my jaw dropped, my eyes widened, he knew? "Wait...h-how did you..." he slowly walked towards me "oh yeah, I know your real name" "no y-you're lying!" "Oh I'm not lying, you're lust Violet, and you worked at The Pink Nest for four years, you had a relationship with one of your coworkers and your boss, who you also shot, and because of that you are on the run and currently hiding here!" He gradually raised his voice as he pushed me up against the wall, I was shocked, he knew everything. "So unless you wanna get shot by police or put behind bars for the rest of your life, you will do what I say. Got it?" I rapidly nodded my head, he scoffed and walked away.

"I...h-he....how did-....what..." I ran upstairs and began to panic with my head buried in my hands. How did Dave know? I didn't want to assume the inevitable, but unfortunately that was the only way "...horror" I bursted into tears, I couldn't believe it, I didn't want to believe it. I felt hurt, sad, angry. I felt....

Betrayed.

Horrors POV
I sat at my desk, pen and paper in hand, ready to write an apology to lust for telling Dave about him, if he ever finds out that I did it. Thankfully I managed to get a paperclip in daves pocket, so I was able to see lust. After I finished writing I folded it up and took it, along with a dead rose I found, to lusts room. I just hoped that he didn't find out already, because then it was going to be a train wreck.

Third person POV
Lust waited for horror to come to his door, as soon as horror picked the lock and walked in lust pushed him against the wall, causing him to drop the rose and note "you dick!" Horror was taken by surprise, he planned to give lust the letter while he was sleeping but that plan went out the window, he winced in pain as his broken wrist hit the wall "W-what the fuck?!" Lust grabbed horrors shirt "I know you told Dave about what I did. How could you? I TRUSTED YOU!" At this moment, horror knew he fucked up "L-lust if you let me explain I'll-" "you'll what! Explain what! You threw me under the bus!"

Horror gently pushed lust off of him but lust pinned him against the wall again "get off." Horror tried to stay calm, but lusts attitude wasn't helping "no! I'm not done!" Horror started to growl "I said GET OFF ME!"

Horror felt his instincts take over and punched lust in the side of his face, he stumbled back and fell on the floor, the lenses of his glasses cracked as he hit the floor, he looked at horror with a look of betrayal while placing a hand on the cheek that horror had punched, a bruise started to form there. Horrors eyes widened after he snapped out of his rage and realised what he'd done.

"...oh my god...l-lust I'm sorry" lust teared up "get out!" Lust stood up and tried to push horror out of his room, even going so far as to repeatedly punch horror, but he refused to fight back "l-lust please I-" "GET OUT!" Lust shouted in horrors face. "...fine" horror responded calmly before walking out of lusts room, but the calmness didn't last long, he felt the anger, pain and rejection boil inside of him, he punched the wall, which got lusts attention "but don't call for my help the next time your in trouble you slut!" Lust gasped in shock "...W-what?" "YOU HEARD ME!" Lust slammed the door and held it shut while a waterfall of tears escaped his eyes.

Horror picked up the rose and crushed it with his hand, it crumbled onto the floor. "I really fucked it up" horror muttered as tears of his own fell down his face, he looked back in the window and saw lust sobbing in his bed, horror turned away and walked back to his room.

"I fucked everything up"

Lusts POV
I didn't know how to feel, I was angry that someone sold me out to Dave, but I was sad that it was my best friend, in the corner of my eye I saw a piece of paper folded up near the door, I crawled over to it and unfolded it, I recognised the handwriting, it was horrors, I let out a sad giggle at his attempt at neat handwriting. I read the note out loud.

"Dear lust, I'm writing this letter to you as a warning, a warning that Dave knows about you, I don't know if he's told you or not, but if he has, I wanted to let you know that it was me...I did it....a-and I'm sorry" I felt tears starting to form "I-I gave in...and if we can't be friends...I understand...I'm sorry. From...h-horror" I saw tears drip onto the paper, I felt awful. I took our friendship and tore it apart. This was all my fault.

I rushed to horrors room, hoping to heal our broken friendship, I knocked on his door rapidly, a small smile grew on my face as the door opened, he looked at me with tears rolling down his cheeks "...I-I'm sorry" I said timidly, he looked into my eyes, I stared at him through the cracks in my glasses "...leave me alone" I felt my soul crack as he closed the door, leaving me heartbroken and guilty.

"I fucked everything up."
