Cross My Heart & Hope To Die (GO READ THE REWRITE)

☾︎ 𝑭𝒊𝒏𝒂𝒍𝒆 ☽︎

I sat in the kitchen drinking some hot chocolate. My mind was going crazy and I was suoer stressed.

I can't keep doing this...

It's been three weeks since the whole being arrested thing.

Most things had went back to normal but something was wrong.

I've been with Leroy my whole life, and I know she knows we would talk about this eventually. I knew we would need to talk about this.

I couldn't livr in that cabin my whole life. And living in the summer house isn't doing it either...

I let out a sigh and poured out the rest of my coffee.

Toby: "W-what's wrong?" I heard Toby from behind me.

I stared at him for a couple of seconds before sitting my cup down and walking over to him. I stood there laying my head on his chest, thinking.

Toby: "O-oh... o-okay.." He wrapped his arms around me.

(Y/N): "Toby can I tell you something...?"

Toby: "Of c-course?" I really didn't want to upset him as he's been calm all day...

But we have to have this talk.

(Y/N): "Toby... This doesn't feel right. I can't keep doing this..." I felt him tense up and he stepped back.

Toby: "Wh-what do you mean-n..." He looked very upset.

(Y/N): "You know I love you but... I can't stay here. I need to find an actual home or go back with Leroy." I got more upset with each word.

(Y/N): "As much as I love it, I can't just stay in this random house with you..."

We stood in silence for a few minutes.

Toby: "A-are you s-saying you don't want to b-be *tic* here...?"

Oh god now he's ticking... God, it's probably my fault...

(Y/N): "No! I just want to find an actual home... I still want to see you and I love waking up with you each morning but this living situation... isn't right."

I stepped back from him as I felt my eyes well up.

(Y/N): "I wish there was something I could do but. The girls are my family. Leroy raised me... I can't stress them out like this. The're afraid I'll get caught out here..."

I glanced at Toby before breaking eye contact. He seemed so worried, like I was going to leave him.

What am I gonna do...

Toby: "I... uh... L-live with *tic* m-me!!"

(Y/N): "What...?"

Toby: "C-come live with me... in the m-mansion. Then we could be together... *tic* I-I know I could g-get Slenderman t-to say yes! Just p-please don't leave *tic* m-me..."

I felt my face grow hot. I couldn't believe he wanted my to come to the mansion to live.

I mean, he talked about how great it was but he never offered for me to come...

It would be a nice change of scenery...

(Y/N): "Are you sure...? I don't want to intrude or bother anyone... Plus what if Slender got mad at you. It would be my fault and I-"

Toby: "F-ck Slender!" He caight me off guard and it left me speachless.

He walked back up to me and took my hands in his.

Toby: "Every morning... when I wake up and see y-you.. I get so ha-happy. Happier than I've ever been! I k-know Slenderman is strict but i-if you make me better then I-I know he'd say  y-yes!"

He looked like he was on the brink of tears. He was pouring his heart out to me and I was completely speachless.

Maybe this will be a good thing...

(Y/N): "Fine..." I looked at him and smiled.

His face immediatly lit up eith excitement. He bent down and kissed me. I wrapped my arms around his neck and played with his hair.

We pulled away and he smiled at me.

Toby: "W-Well are we gonna start packing for you??" I giggled a bit and took his hand.

We walked through the house before he stopped. He seemed to have something on his mind.

Toby: "H-Hey (Y/N)... Can you p-promise me something...?" His smiled dimmed a bit and he turned to face me completely.

(Y/N): "Of course. What is it?"

Toby: "P-Promise you'll stay with m-me forever..." He looked me ditectly in the eyes.

I pecked him on the lips and put my hand on his cheeks.

"Cross my heart and hope to die."
