Fix it & Survive (Backrooms)

Part 10 - Hiding the pain

Here is the next part everyone! Also, sorry that its a bit short!

-------------------------------------------------

-Its better than I thought it was going to be.- I answered honestly. - Though it tastes pretty raw, so I'm not a fan of that.- I put the finger aside, not really having the appetite to finish it off. I decided to start packing the body, so that we wouldn't really have to worry about someone finding it.

- Oh don't worry, when we get to my place, we can bake something delicious!- they happily spoke, finishing off the arm I couldn't, and proceeded to help me pack the body for later.

- Wait what?- I questioned Smilie. I assumed that after we left level 4, we would return to our respective levels, and meet some other time. Apparently, it seems Smilie has a different idea in mind.

- R can go back if he wants, but you can come stay at my place! We would have sooooo much fun together!! - The squealed, clasping their "hands" with each other.

I didn't really know how to respond to that. They seemed really excited about me going back with them, but surely they understand that its not really possible.

-Well... I don't think I can stay with you.- I stated.

- Why not?- They pleaded, - Its going to be so boring at that school of yours!- they clang onto my hand, not willing to let go.

- Smilie, I won't be able to stay, but I can always visit you.- I reassured them, and they let go.

- oKaY.- They tried to control their voice, since they felt a bit upset.

- Hey guys, I came back with the water.- R popped out the corner, with many bottles of almond water.

- Cool, we just finished packing the body.- I replied to R, as both Smilie and I stood up from the ground. 

- We should probably get going then. Lead the way 42.- R mumbled, as he "gently" pushed them forward.

- fiNe.- They snarled back, while gesturing me to come along, as they held my hand once more.

- Ok, lets go.- I sighed, keeping the teddy bear along with me safe in my other hand, and started walking.

As we were walking, I stared at the teddy bear I brought with me, zoning out for a bit. Eventually, they told me they needed to check up something.

- He thought he saw something, so we're just going to quickly look at it.- Smilie spoke gleefully. 

- Make sure you stay safe until we come back, k?- R ordered me, as I nodded. Their footsteps slowly went further and further away from me, and silence surrounded me.

 I glanced at the windows, we were walking beside, and it had water falling from the "outside." It looked serene, and it was beautiful. All the windows showed the same, except for this one. I stopped in my tracks, and I was shocked to see what was beyond the window. 

There were disembodied faces and hands, laying across whatever place they were in. They all looked as if they were signalling at me to, back away.

A loud voice boomed in my head, as something grabbed my legs, causing me to fall onto the ground.

*thud*

The arm dug itself into my left leg as if it were to tear it off. 

- Let.... go... of .... me..- I whimpered, but it was already too late. 

*snap*

I winced in pain, desperately trying to yell something out, but I couldn't do anything but watch, as blood rushed out of my leg, flesh being torn apart. Tears overflooded my eyes, but I saw an opportunity. Their was as office chair a few feet away from me, and I knew what to do. With every last ounce of my strength put into my arms, the office chair was violently thrown into the arm causing it to immediately retreat back into the window. The window repaired itself, and disappeared, as if it was never there, all that was left was a regular wall.

- What a waste of time.- I heard a voice say in the distance, as footsteps came closer towards me.

I didn't want them to know I was injured, as it would only slow us down. I managed to get myself back on my feet, and I took a bottle of almond water, washing the blood off my clothes.

- What are you doing J?- I quickly turned around to see R, standing right behind me.

- Oh, I was just waiting here for you guys!- I nervously laughed, my eyes still watery from the injury. It hurt like fuck, and I could barely even stand, let alone walk.

- 42 and I found nothing, so we should probably get going.- R sighed, getting ready to venture on. It seems like R doesn't have any suspicions about me, which is great, but I'm more worried about Smilie noticing, because they seem to be very observant.

- What happened to your leg J?- Smilie interrogated me, pointing at my left leg, their voice being creepy as hell.

Shit. I forgot to cover the wound.

- Uh.. I just spilled some almond water, that's all.. - I tried to convince them, quickly using my feet to cover the wound, making it not visible.

- Really?- They definitely were not buying it, walking closer go me, until we were face to face.

- Yah.... I'm fine...- I mumbled, squeezing the life out of my arm so that I wouldn't go completely silent. If I did, R would definitely know somethings up. I averted my eyes from them, not wanting to see their scary expression.

- Don't lie to me J.-
