Dead Silence (WhittRuv)

Chapter 9

(15 minutes later)

Whitty was still upset over what happened. Tears were still being shed, but not as much as before. The burning sensation on his cheek from earlier was still strong, possibly stronger than when he's on the verge of exploding. He didn't know at this point. He could barely even see. The floor around him was soaked in his black and pink tears.

His phone vibrated. He hesitated to pick it up and check it out. It was Hex.

Hey Whitty? Where did you and Ruv go? The crowd's curious about him!

Whitty stood up and looked back at Ruv once more. He still never got up. Whitty balled his fist then slammed it into the wall. He was fuming with rage towards himself. He picked his phone back up and texted back.

Fuck that rn. I need to calm down.

He got a text back very quickly.

------

Huh? What happened?

I don't want to talk about it over text.

Where are you?

Leave me alone.

I'll bring you some food from the buffet (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*.✧

Fine.

There are two hallways by the stage. Pretty sure they both lead to an elevator.

Top floor. Farthest door to the left.

On my way!! (◠‿・)—☆

In under five minutes, Hex opened the door. Dalia was right behind him. Whitty's eyes were no longer leaking, but they had bags underneath and his clothes were a little wet and sticky. Hex and Dalia had bags filled to the brim with different foods and sweets. Dalia even held a bottled water for the upset bomb. She immediately noticed the area where Whitty was slapped. It was a light shade of orange now that was surrounding several cracks.

"Woah!! Dude, that looks awesome!" She said. Hex squeaked in worry, snatched the cold water from the DJ, then put it against the bomb's broken cheek. "What happened?" Hex asked. Whitty sighed and blushed in embarassment. He pulled out his phone and texted Hex what happened.

Kissed him.

Hex, looked away from Dalia, peeked at the message on his monitor, then looked back up with a very worried expression. "Oh... Dang... I'm sorry Whitty." Hex pat Whitty's back with his free hand. Dalia walked over to Ruv and poked him. "Yo, is your pal okay?" She asked. Whitty shrugged then pulled out a cupcake that was inside Hex's bag. He ate it all in one bite, including the wrapper.

Ruv was still blushing heavily. No response came from him while Dalia tried to wake him. He was breathing though, just very quietly. His vision had whited out and his body twitched once in a while. Dalia sat next to Ruv and continued to look at him. Hex was trying his best to make the bomb happy, whether that meant playing some games or showing him cool and funny videos. Whitty would also eat from both food bags.

Suddenly, Hex's monitor began to ring. Carol was calling. It was really late, why is she still up? Hex answered nonetheless. The first thing Carol saw were the cracks on Whitty's cheek. "Oh! Hey Carol! You wanna say hi to Whit-" Hex was interrupted.
