(This chapter takes place 1 year later. So Ben and Toby have been dating for 1 year and share a room together.)

Ticci Toby's POV
I wake up at the crack of dawn and I look at the clock. 7:06am. Damn that's early, I usually wake up about 11am. I focus my eyes on the young boy curled up next to my chest. My boyfriend, Ben.

We've been dating for 1 year now and Clockwork is still obsessed with me. She thinks I'm going through a "phase". I'm not. I love him, I love Ben. I have for the last year and I have no idea why Clockwork can't see that. I just want her to leave me alone! She's been sending me gifts, love letters and flirts with me all the time! Even in front of Ben, which I think is insulting. She's got a lot of confidence to be doing that and poor Ben can't say anything. Ben told me that apparently she's got some embarrassing footage of him doing something and that she's black mailing him. I don't know what she's got or why but I don't think I wanna know.

I get up off my bed, walk to the bathroom, strip off all my clothing and hop in the shower.

Yesterday was an exhausting day. Everyone was helping with Halloween decorations, and by everyone, I mean EVERYONE. Us Creepypastas, we thrive on Halloween. It is the only time of the year where we can roam around in the public eye without being judged or questioned. No one will know who we are.

After my shower, I get dressed and get ready. I head out the bathroom and into our shared bedroom. I look at the bed. Ben's still a sleeping beauty, lying asleep. I walk up to him and kiss him on the forehead. I walk out the room and head to the living room.

No one was really there except Sally and Sam playing together.
"Hiiii Tobyyy!!" Sally yells, welcomely.
"Hey Toby." Sam says, glaring at me then the toys.
"Hello Sally, hello Sam!" I say as I sit on the couch/sofa.
I grab the remote and watch some things on Netflix.

2 HOURS LATER
I was sitting on the couch/sofa, until someone burst into the room.
"TOBY I NEED YOUR HELP!" A voice yells as the door opens.
I looked and was shocked to see Jeffery running in the room, closing the door behind him.
"Sure. What's up?" I asked.
"It's EJ." He says as he opens his phone and shows me the chat between him and EJ.

"What do I say?!?!?" Jeff yells.
"Do you like him back?" I ask.
"OF COURSE I DO!"
"Then tell him."
Then I grabbed Jeff's phone and started typing.
"TOBY! GIVE THAT BACK! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!" Jeff screams and he attempts to yank his phone out of my hands.
I sent the message. The message read, "i rlly like u 2"
"Done."
"WHAT DID YOU DO!!!!!" Jeff screams as he looks at his phone in disbelief.
I giggle while asking, "You asked me to help you right?"
"Not like this! UGH! Now he's gonna think I'm weird!" Jeff says, holding his head into his hands.
Then Jeff's phone rings. It was EJ calling him. Jeff picks up and storms to his room.

SEVERAL HOURS LATER
We were all getting ready to leave the mansion, the little ones having their little buckets and the rest chatting. I was standing alone, Ben was talking to Dark Link and Jeff was talking to EJ. They got together and Jeff ended up thanking me.

A woman came up to me, she was wearing a revealing dark green dress and she spoke.
"Heyy Toby~!" Clockwork said, twirling her fingers in her hair, trying to get my attention.
"What do you want now?" I scoffed.
Clockwork opens her phone and shows me a video but before I could see it, I pushed her away.
"I want nothing to do with you! Leave me alone!" I yelled, but no one heard me.
The noise of chatter and laughter was so loud that you couldn't hear me yell, and no one noticed.
"It's nothing to do with me. You NEED to see this!" She says, with her serious face.
I look at her, almost shocked. I've never seen her so serious so I knew she was right. This was something I had to see. I wanted to see.
"Fine. Show me." I say.

Clockwork gives me her phone and I watch the video. It was Ben. He was kissing Jeff, and LJ was cheering them on. They were making out. I looked at the video, horrified. I look up at Clockwork with a sympathetic expression.
"W-w-when was t-this..?" I ask, nervously.
"You don't wanna know." Clockwork said, looking down at the ground.
I scream, "WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN!?".
This time everyone heard and turned to me. It was silent. I stood there, fists clenched and Clockwork looking at me, terrified.
"F-few hours ago..." She said.

Jeff and Ben shove past the crowd of people and come running up to me.
"Omg babe! Are you okay?" Ben asks.

I stare at him. This wasn't Ben. This wasn't the sweet little innocent boy I was dating. He was different, he changed so much. I hadn't noticed it, but now I do. He wasn't what I thought he was. He was evil, a liar, a cheater and not the boy I fell in love with.

"GET AWAY FROM ME!!" I scream, pushing Ben off me.
"Dude! CALM DOWN! THERE WAS NO NEED FOR THAT" Jeff yelled as he caught Ben.
"No need?? NO FUCKING NEED?? THERE WAS NO NEED FOR YOU TO BE MAKING OUT WITH HIM WHEN HE IS WITH ME!!" I shouted at the top of my lungs.
Jeff and Ben froze. Jeff's face turned pale (well as pale as it could be).
"You did make o-out with him, d-didn't you..?" I ask, glaring at Ben.
"Babe! I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to! I swear, trust me please!!" He yelled, tears forming out of his eyes.
I stared at Jeff, my face filled with hatred.
"Even after I helped you get with EJ, YOU MADE OUT WITH MY BOYFRIEND!" I screamed.
"No To-" Jeff started to say, before someone cut him off.
"ARE YOU SERIOUS? The second we start dating, YOU GO BEHIND MY BACK AND ALREADY START CHEATING?" A voice yelled.
I turned to vitness a distressed Eyeless Jack. He was crying.
"I-I'm sorry..." Jeff mumbled, looking at EJ then me.
"Backstabbers..." I whisper.
"W-What did you say..?" Ben mumbled.
"YOU BOTH ARE BACKSTABBERS!!" I scream before grabbing my axe and throw it at Ben.

It missed. Lucky him.

I continued to grab more and more objects and weapons. I threw a chair, a brick, a pen, a knife, anything I could find. But they would all miss. I guess I was so furious that I couldn't aim properly. I just wanted to destory them, just like how they destroyed our relationship. I love him, I really do. But I can't anymore. He's put himself onto another...and that other is an asshole who I just helped get into a relationship not long ago. Boy, he cheated so fast. Wasn't even a day in. What a collection.
I kept doing that, in hope that it would it one of them, until 1 person came to pull me back.
Clockwork.

"Toby...STOP!" She yelled.
I froze. I looked back and her and she was in shock. Then, I looked back at the betrayers. Both had shocked and horrified expressions, Ben was standing behind Jeff. Discusting.

I turned around and hugged Clockwork tightly, letting myself finally cry. I know it's weird to hug a girl who's been nothing but obsessed with you, but after all. She's the only one, who was there by my side at that moment. Not my so called friends, her. After all, she was one trying to pull me away from Ben all this time, the whole relationship. The others let me be happy. But I wonder, if I listened to her and dated her, would I be as upset as I am now? God, I should've listened to her. Would've saved me all this trouble! I'm such an idiot.

I get off Clockwork's shoulder.
"Are you okay?" She says sweetly.
But this time it was her fake sweet voice, it was geniune.
"Yeah. I'm fine. Bye Clockwork." I mumble as I headed out the door.
"WAIT! Where are you going?" Clockwork yelled, confused.
"Somewhere." I say and I run out the door.

I ran and ran, walked and walked into nothing. I was nowhere, just some empty land. It had a lake, a beautiful lake. A lake that I recognised. Lyra, my sister, she'd take me here when Mum and Dad where arguing and we would look at the wildlife. I miss her. I would kill anything to see her again.

I walked further and finally I was in my childhood neighbourhood. I walked further until I noticed my old house. It had crime scene tape all over it and chalk outlines in the front yard. They died. All my family were gone. But It was worth it. I was free from the abuse, torchure and torment.

I was back home.
