Ticks In Our Love

Incident

[Reader POV]

Toby had been constantly drunk for weeks, lashing out. One night, Toby shrugged you of and called you a bitch. You had a total breakdown and did what was normal for you.

You cut. The first time since you meet Toby. By the time you were done, you had so many cuts on your wrist, it was in shreds. You put on a long sleeved shirt and went back out.

"Hey (Y/N), how are you doing?" BEN asked softly. You started crying again and BEN looked at your wrist.

You had never seen a madder look on the boy,his sanity was practically gone. BEN dragged you up the stairs and into Toby's room.

"Hey jackass! What do you have against (Y/N) that's so bad you made her shred her arm?!" Toby turned around and slammed BEN to the wall, "Did I s-say you could c-come in?" he growled through his teeth.

BEN squirmed free and yanked up your sleeve, "Look what you did to her! Look!" Toby took a long look at your wrist, which he barely recognized.

Toby looked you in the eyes, looking to see if it was him that made you do it. You were afraid to answer, your body and mind were out of control at this point. You leaned forward and wrapped your arms around his chest, mostly because you couldn't reach his neck and you cuts were still bleeding, "I want th-the old T-Toby back."

[Toby POV]

This wasn't my plan. It was to make her not love me anymore. Not her to slit her wrist. I didn't consider anything else, no collateral damage or anything.

I hugged her back softly, I was starting to cry as well. She buried her face into my chest and cried for ten minutes. "P-Promise you'll n-never d-drink a-again?" she said with her breath hitching. I calmly stroked her hair and nodded calmly, fighting back tears.

I sent BEN to get the first aid kit and I wrapped up her arm. "Y-You know I l-love you, r-right?" I asked after I got her bandaged up. She nodded softly and hugged me, around 10 minutes padded before I realized i had become her pillow. I picked her up, still tipsy, and carried her to her room. I gently kissed her forehead and went back to my room, realizing that i had hurt the only one I had loved since my sister.

My sister.

The one person who loved me in my shitty family, my father didn't love me, my mom was more than likely pretending.

I love (Y/N). I want her. No, I need her to be mine.
