Taking Off Your Mask

The Trip Back

I woke up and called Cry. "Hey Cry. You ready to get going?"

"Yeah. Just give me a second to pack my laptop."

"Fine. Meet me by the cafe in like ten minutes. "

"Will do. " I grabbed my suitcase and Rue. I turned my music on and started to walk to the cafe.

I walked in and ordered our drinks. Cry arrived not to long later. We grabbed our drinks and drove up to the airport. It didn't take long to go through security. We were able to get on the plane in an hour or so. I played with Rue on the plane till I fell asleep.

--Cry's POV--

I watched Ebony as she played with Rue. They looked adorable. I'm so happy I found her. She's the one who saved me. I had such a hard time before I met her. If we didn't get in that crash I would've been able to tell her how I really felt. My feelings never changed for her either. I've kept the mask with me all of my life. When we moved my parents wanted me to forget about everything in Colorado. They even tried to take my mask and break it.

I ended up moving out as soon as I could. Not too long before, I started making videos. It's how I got by for all this time. I had my fans to cheer me up when I was depressed. I met Snake, Russ, and Jund when I was in high school. They were the only ones to know about Ebony. They've tried to get me into other relationships but none if them felt right. When I was with Cheyanne it felt right. I finally found a person I could be happy with. Happiness never lasts long with me. She broke up with me on our two year anniversary. It turns out that she was cheating on me the entire time. Ever since then I haven't even thought of starting any relationships.

Ebony rustled and rested her head on my shoulder. I don't think she remembers at all. I have changed quite a bit. I've gotten depression, and I've tried to kill myself. Mad and Virus take control of my body and keep me from doing any harm. They won't even let AK scratch me. People say that suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. What they don't realize is Mad and Virus will stay forever. My feelings for Ebony will stay forever. Mad and Virus, being the dicks that they are, will never let me be with Ebony. They let me be with Cheyanne because they knew that she would hurt me mentally and not physically. As long as they aren't harmed, they will let anyone hurt me.

We got off the plane and went to get our baggage. Ebony took me to her parents house to see her mother. It didn't take long to arrive, and the garden they had was absolutely beautiful. Ebony knocked on the door a couple of times and just walked in. We dropped out stuff by the door and went upstairs. We went down a hall and opened the last door.

"You might wanna watch Netflix for a while with Rue. I'm going to talk to my mother real quick. "

"Okay." I said and I hugged her.

"T-Thank you. "

"No problem. " I took Rue from her hands and turned on her Xbox. I choose an anime and sat down.

--Ebony's POV--

I left Cry with Rue and went into my mother's room. She was covered in sheets. I walked up to her and woke her up.
" Hey mama,"

"What? What did you wake me?"

" I was just gonna say hi, and I also had a friend come with me," she gave me a glare, " it wasn't my choice. He wanted to come."

"Fine. I'll take you to the hospital in the morning. Now let me sleep please." I hugged her and went into the bonus room. I sat down next to Cry and told him the details. I rested my head on Cry's shoulder and fell asleep once again.
