Struggling Love | Ross x gn!reader

Cʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ XXXII

A/n: Heyo

Wow, it's been a while since I've updated this lmao. Anyway, I've gotten the inspiration to write this chapter since I've seen the trailer come out :)

Warnings: Mentions of blood, gore and also suicidal thoughts... although I don't really know if it can be classified as suicidal? Just read and tell me :(

Edit: it is now July, and my brain is burnt to a crisp. Send help 😭
I tried writing this chapter TEN SEPERATE Times, only to scratch in and start from the beginning. I've gotten so sick of writing so whatever I post is what you get 😔😔

Edit 2: Its September 1st... I am really sorry :(

Edit 3: Its October.

Enjoy!

The tapping on my windows increased in volume, only driving me closer and closer into insanity

You'd think that the monster would've gotten bored and leave me be. But no! The fucker just keeps annoying me! It's not even trying to scare me at this point, it just wants me to lose my goddamn mind with that tapping!

You'd think it would get creative, throw in some helpless whispers of my friends telling me how awful of a person I am, but no! The only thing it does is tap on my fucking window!

At this point I should just kill the bitch myself- wait, that went poorly last time...

I was brought back to reality when I heard a familiar distorted hum. My head shot to where my bathroom is supposed to be, my eyes landing on Zip as they tilted their head to the side slightly

"What time is it...? In the real world that is." I question, rubbing my eyes as if I were exhausted

"10:59" Zip's voice rang out

"I'm guessing you mean AM?" I question. Zip only nodded in agreement. I frowned, looking at my deer friend (haha, get it?) with slight hesitance

Zip has been awfully quiet lately, barely ever uttering a word unless it was me directly asking them a question or not. I wonder what's going on with them...

"Can you... Wake me up now?" I asked. Zip only nodded, their hooves clacking on the wooden floor of my room as they approached. From this whole interaction I didn't even notice that the tapping had stopped

As the eye above Zip's head glowed, I could help but stare at it mesmerized, the world around me slowly blurring and, all of a sudden-

- I'm back

A knock was heard on my door as a familiar voice rang out

"Breakfast!" The familiar butler known as Stanley (is that what his name was?) called out

I groaned, a sudden headache rushing in as I sat at the edge of my bed

"Come in.." I yelled out my voice groggy as I rested my head on my hands, my palms covering my eyes as I tried to make the headache I had suddenly gained magically disappear

"Is everything okay?" He asked, my plate of food clacking as it was set down on the coffee table

"Just a headache, it'll go away eventually." I groaned, lifting my head with my eyes still closed and an uncomfortable look on my face

"Thanks for the breakfast." I sighed. Stanley only hummed as he exited my room, closing the door behind him

I sighed in relief, sitting up straight with my eyes closed as the headache slowly started to fade away
