° Chapter 8 °

Chica was walking aimlessly down Rockstar row. When she heard Bonnie had to be taken into repairs, she was extremely worried of course, and could only hope her former best friend was ok. Freddy still would not talk to her though, so she spent most of her time with Roxy and Monty.

"Hey! Golf ain't boring!" Monty exclaimed. Roxy laughed. "If you had to choose between racing or golfing, what would you pick?" She asked. Monty rolled his eyes.

"Chica, you're awful quiet. You good?" Roxy asked. Chica shook herself out of her doze. "Yeah, yeah...it's just-" She hesitated. "Did you hear what happened to Bonnie-?" She asked. Roxy sighed, nodding. Monty however, shook his head. "No...? What happened?" He asked.

"He's been having weird episodes and blacking out...so he had to be taken to repairs for a while." She said.

"Oh, shoot-" Monty frowned.

"I hope he's ok, I mean...I don't have anything against him-'' he said. Roxy giggled, catching both of them off guard. When they both turned to her she grinned. "Come with me, I gotta' show you guys something..." This piqued their curiosity.

They followed Roxy from Monty's Gator Golf to her greenroom. When they got there they sat on her sofa while she dug through her vanity. She pulled out her fazcam and jogged back over to them. "Look what I caught the other day~" she grinned, turning on the screen and showing them the pictures. One picture depicting Freddy in his green room kissing Bonnie's head. Monty gasped before breaking into a fit of laughter. "Oh nO-! Blackmail??" Monty exclaimed.

"They're breaking the ruules~" Roxy grinned, showing it to Chica. Chica was in shock.

How long had this been going on right under her beak...?

"What would even happen to them if someone found out??" Monty asked. Roxy shrugged.

"I dunno', but we'll keep our mouths shut. It's only blackmail." She said. Chica was still at a loss for words. She knew her friends were close but not...that close. She felt a sense of worry for them. What would happen if management found out?? What would they do to her friends??

Freddy did not know how to approach this, but before anything he felt overwhelming joy take his system. He sprinted over and trapped Bonnie in a tight hug, planting gentle kisses all over his face.

"Oh finally! I had been restless waiting for you to come back-" he cried. Bonnie laughed and hugged right back. He kissed Freddy's nose affectionately.

"It's ok, Fredbear! I'm ok~" he reassured as he heard Freddy begin getting emotional. At that, Freddy pulled away abruptly. "No! You do not get it-!" He snapped.

Bonnie was cut completely off guard. He does not even remember the last time Freddy raised his voice at anyone...let alone Bonnie. His ears lowered but he kept quiet, allowing Freddy to continue.

"You are not being honest with me Bonnie-! You've been worrying me for days, I've been losing sleep, underperforming-" he rambled.

"You're scaring me Bonnie, and you're lying to me!" He cried, losing his professional speech. He wanted to handle this better but he grew so emotional so quickly.

Bonnie froze. He did all of this so Freddy would be happy...and after everything, he was still not happy.

He really can't do anything right, can he?

Bonnie sobbed, collapsing on his knees as all the energy in his body finally left him. He was so tired...and done. Just done with everything.

Freddy, seeing Bonnie clearly distraught, quickly lowered this voice, his face contorting in worry, confusion, and most of all, guilt.

"Starshine, I am so sorry! I did not mean to raise my voice at you!" Freddy quickly knelt down by him. This time, it was Bonnie's turn to pull away.

"It's never...enough for you-!" He sobbed.

"W-what...?" Freddy asked, bewildered. Bonnie wiped oil from his eyes.

"Nothing I ever do for you is enough! No location is ever enough for you! You're always so unhappy-!" He sobbed.

Freddy's heart broke. He never meant to cause his Bonnie any pain...and now, Bonnie was suffering all because of him. Freddy reached out and gently cupped Bonnie's cheeks with his hands, barely containing his own oil tears.

"You are more than enough! You are perfect, you are the best thing to ever happen to me! I am so sorry...I never meant to make you doubt that-!" Freddy cried.

"I was so scared for you, Bon! I just want you to be safe, happy...but I cannot protect you if you will not let me!" He finished. Bonnie finally sighed, leaning into Freddy's gentle touch.

"...i'm sorry-!" Bonnie muttered, reaching out to hug Freddy.

"Bonnie, it is ok! I am sorry for making you sad..." He said, quickly hugging Bonnie back.

That wasn't what Bonnie was apologizing for.
