I unhook myself and fall on the floor. I haven't hooked myself up in a while so, I fall on my hands and knees I grab the side of the table to get up. I been sitting on this table for so long, it's hard to get up. I try to pull myself up only to fall again. I hear the door open an someone run up to me and help me up. "Are you ok?" When I finally got to my feet, I look up to see Bonnie. "Oh...uhhh....I'm fine, I just....haven't hooked myself up in a while....." I say as I pointed to the hooks in the corner. Bonnie looks worried and says, "Exactly, how long ago?" I look down at the floor, "uhhh....about a uhhh......a mouth......" Bonnie eyes grew wide and holds my shoulders, "(y/n)! This whole time we've been here, you've been sitting here?" I brush his hands off and say, "Look, I'm fine." Bonnie gives me a look that shows his disbelief. He walks backwards to the other end of the room till he's on the wall and says, "If your REALLY ok, come walk over here." I tilt my head, confused of what this will prove. I take two steps when Bonnie says, "No hands on the table." I look down to see my hands on the table. When did I put them there? I take one hand off the table only to fall completely off balance. No, I'm proving to him that I'm fine! The second I take my other hand off the table, I feel like I'm falling apart. That my legs are going to shader in pieces. No! I'm not showing weakness! I stand up as straight as I can manage and slowly walk towards Bonnie. Sitting for a whole month has really screwed up the gears and other devices in my legs, I feel like they locked up and hooking myself up so suddenly didn't really help either. Bonnie's face grows worrisome as I walk closer to him. No.....I have to.......I stop midway there and almost fall to the floor again but Bonnie catches me before I do. "See.....you're not ok......" he said, holding onto me, and he wrapped my right arm over his shoulders. "What are you-?" Bonnie looks at me. "Well, if you don't start walking, your gonna be stuck like that." He grabs my forearm of my arm that's on his shoulders and his other arm raps around my sides to help hold me up. "After you." He says, waiting for me to take a step. I start to walk but it's hard, I feel like I'm broken but, as I continue to walk, it becomes easier. We walk back and forth in the room, so no one gets worried, I guess. Our slow pace soon to grow more speed to the point we're running around. When we finally stop, he slowly let's me go and my hand grabs the table out of reflex. He walk to the other end of the room like before and says more confident, "Let's see if that worked." I was a little hesitant at first but I let go of the table with both hands but, this time, I feel more stable. I stand up straight and walk up to Bonnie without any problems. Bonnie smiles and says, "There, you can walk on your own now but, for now on, hook yourself up, please." I smile and give him a hug, which surprised him, and say, "thank you...." he stands there for a second then holds me in an embrace. "Your welcome." I didn't know he was this worried about me......do the others feel this way to? I don't know....but, I'm definitely hooking myself up from now on.

Bonnie's P.O.V.

I walk by the parts and services room and I hear something fall. Huh? I open the door and see (y/n) on the floor. What happened!? I run up to her and help her up. "Are you ok?" I say, worried half to death. When she finally got to her feet, she look up at me. "Oh...uhhh....I'm fine, I just....haven't hooked myself up in a while....." she say as she pointed to the hooks in the corner. I can tell that they been used be the simple fact that they're moving, but for her to be like this......I look at her and says, "Exactly, how long ago?" She look down at the floor, "uhhh....about a uhhh......a mouth......" What!? My eyes grew wide and hold her shoulders, "(y/n)! This whole time we've been here, you've been sitting here?" She brush my hands off and says, "Look, I'm fine." I give her a look that shows my disbelief. That's the biggest bull crap I've ever heard from her. I walk backwards to the other end of the room till I my hands on the wall and says, "If your REALLY ok, come walk over here." She tilts her head, confused of what this will prove. She takes two steps when I noticed her hands on the table and say, "No hands on the table." She looks down to see her hands on the table. Did she not notice that she's supporting herself? She takes one hand off the table and she already starts to struggle. Her legs must be really locked up. She wasn't made to sit for a mouth. The second she takes other hand off the table, her legs start shake, as if there going to break. But, the look on her face shows that she's not giving up. She stands up as straight as she can manage and slowly walk towards me. I grow worrisome as she walk closer to me. Why does she keep going when she can't, I love the spirit she has to keep going but......this is too much to prove that she can simply walk on her own. She stops midway and starts ot fall to the floor. (Y/n)! I catches her before she falls to the floor. "See.....you're not ok......" I said, holding onto her. She looks like she's been defeated......well, I can help her walk. I rap her right arm over my shoulders. "What are you-?" I look at her and say, "Well, if you don't start walking, your gonna be stuck like that." I grab the forearm of her arm that's on my shoulders and with the other arm, I rap it around her sides to help hold her up. "After you." I says, waiting for here to take a step. She starts to walk but her face seemed pained. She really can't walk when I'm helping her, let alone on her own. As she continues to walks, it slowly becomes easier for her. We walk back and forth in the room, so we don't draw attention. I don't want anyone freaking out about (y/n) can't walk on her own. Our slow pace soon to grow more speed to the point we're running around. When we finally stop, I slowly let her go and her hand quickly grabs the table. I walk back to the other end of the room and says more confident, "Let's see if that worked." She's a little hesitant. Come on (y/n)......you can do this......she let's go of the table with both hands but, this time, she stands up straight and walk up to me without any problems. It work! I'm glad she's ok, now. I smile and say, "There, you can walk on your own now but, for now on, hook yourself up, please." She smiles and gives me a hug, which surprised me, and says, "thank you...." I stand there for a second, feeling me face grow red then, I hold her in an embrace. "Your welcome." I wish we can always be together like this......but......she has Goldy. I hope he take better care of her......cause if he loses her........I don't know if I'll be more pissed off at Goldy or, more depressed that (y/n) would be gone.......because I love her......and it hurts me that I can't have her.......

5a.m.

After Bonnie left, I decided to stay in the room for the rest of the night. I would look at the hooks and the table but, I feel someone hug me from behind. "You ok, (y/n)?" I knew it was Goldy because of his soft tone he always uses with me. "Yeah.....I'm fine...." I says, more confident about that answer. I'm noticing I'm actually using that answer a lot lately. I'm fine......I'm fine.......I'm fine.......but am I though? At first, I thought I was but, what happened with Bonnie.....I'm not so sure anymore. I wonder if Goldy can here my thoughts, I wouldn't be surprised. With all the amazing powers he has......wait.....why does he have this powers? Shouldn't he be like the rest of us? Or should we be like him? My head is spinning with questions, new questions I've never thought of. "(Y/n)!" I jump, startled from Goldy suddenly shaking me. "Huh!? What!?" Goldy look worried and says, "are you ok (y/n)? You kinda.......zoned out on me......." I sigh, "I'm sorry." Goldy looks at me and says, "What I was saying wad, do want me to hook you up?" I nod, a little too quickly, "Yeah." Goldy helps me up and takes his time hooking me up, looking at me every now and then. When he finally hooks my head, he looks at me and says, "What's wrong?" Should I tell him? No....not yet anyway. "Nothing." I say, showing all the disbelief on his face.

Ding-ding-ding-ding!
Ding-ding-ding-ding!

I look at the clock, even though I know it's 6 o'clock and, of course, when I look back, Goldy is gone. That the only thing I've never been able to understand about Goldy. Why does he always vanish into thin air at exactly 6 o'clock?

"I know that somethings wrong but, you know that you can tell me anything. Anything at all! Just tell me when you're ready......ok.....till tonight, my love."

([A/n] I'm EXTREMELY sorry I haven't written a lot like I used to. :( this chapter is my way of saying that I'm sorry and I hope you guys can forgive me.)
