(Don't) Go To Sleep

Apologies

I woke up and snuggled into my duvet cover. I really didn't want to get up. A loud sigh from behind me shocked me into sitting up alarmingly quickly, startling the person in bed with me. Realisation slapped me and memories of last night rushed back to me. Masky's story. His eyes. His lips. His lips? Oh my lord. We kissed. 'Uh, should I go?' he asked awkwardly. Well he was already here so... 'No, I'm still tired,' I said snuggling back into the duvet, 'Unless you want to go?'

'It's cold and my room is too far away.' We both laughed. I dozed with my eyes shut, smiling at memories from the previous night. What if he asks me to be his girlfriend? I wondered, then I rolled my eyes. He's in my bed. This is weird in a cute way. A quiet knock on the door cause both me and Masky to jump. 'Whaat?' I moaned sleepily. The door creaked open and a familiar person walked in. The body stiffened. 'What?' I repeated more harshly this time. Jeff looked at me then looked at Masky. It wasn't exactly what he was most likely thinking but I didn't have to explain anything to him. He actually looked really upset for a moment but it might have just been my eyes playing tricks on me. 'I'll come b-back later,' he stuttered. I suddenly felt a little bit bad for him. He shuffled silently out of the room. I looked at Masky, who was actually asleep, and sighed. I was wondering why he hadn't said anything to Jeff. I sighed again. Why did things just have to be so complicated. I threw the cover off me and opened my wardrobe to select an outfit for today. I picked shorts and a big top. I loved tops that were too big for me, they were just so comfortable. Putting my clothes over my arm I gently shook Masky's shoulder. 'Okay, I'm getting changed now so can you just...?'

'Yeah sure.' I noticed that he had slept with his mask on, just like he said. He ran his hand through his hair and left the room. I hadn't noticed his abs last night but I couldn't help but stare at him. He had a six pack, oh my god. 'You done checking out my cute abs yet?' he teased, causing me to turn a bright shade of pink. 'Let me get dressed!' He raised his hands up defensively, 'Just saying.'

'Go.' He chuckled and left the room so I could get dressed. I brushed my hair and let it flow loosely around my shoulders. I know it sounded a little vain but I loved my hair so much. It made me feel like a mermaid. I giggled to myself. I must have sounded so childish, I'm glad I didn't say things like that out loud. I decided it would be a good idea to see who was downstairs. Masky was sat in the kitchen eating cheesecake for breakfast. To be honest, cheesecake was all he ate. I rolled my eyes at him, 'Already?'

'I'd excuse myself but cheesecake needs no excuses,' he said through a mouthful of cheesecake. I just blinked, trying to process what seemed like the most stupid sentence I'd ever heard, shook my head and proceeded downstairs. There were a few people sat around chatting and Ben was sat on the floor playing a video game with Toby I presumed. It looked like Ben was winning. I saw Hoodie see me walk in and he immediately stood up and marched over to me. He grabbed my arm and dragged me out of the room. He took me outside but as we passed Masky, he gave me a questioning look, I just shrugged. 'Look,' he said straightforwardly 'Masky is my friend. Jeff is my friend. You are going to hurt one of them either way and I'm not going to let that happen,' he said with his arms folded. 'Uh hello? I think Jeff hurt me more than I hurt him thank you very much.'

'They both like you, you'll have to pick between them and that's going to hurt one of them. I won't allow it.'

'Yeah? Well you can't control me. What are you going to do?' I challenged. 'Well first, you're going to talk to Jeff and then you're leaving.' My eyed widened in shock then I burst out laughing. 'You think I'm leaving?' I asked. 'No. I know you are.'

'Whatever,' I said walking back inside. 'I'm giving you until Sunday,' he said just before I slammed the door shut on him. I hadn't noticed at the time but I was so angry that I was shaking. Luckily Masky had gone and hopefully he hadn't heard mine and Hoodie's little argument. I probably should talk to Jeff though. I think I saw him downstairs talking to a red haired girl. I stood at the bottom of the stairs quietly until I made eye contact with him. I gave him a look that very obviously said 'come here.' He excused himself and walked over. 'Did you want something this morning?' I asked him as politely as I could in a hushed voice. He just shrugged. That's it, I don't have time for this. I began to walk off. 'Wait,' he said, grabbing my arm desperately. I faced him, folding my arms and waiting for his to tell me whatever was oh-so-important. He took a deep breath, 'I'm sorry,' he said sincerely, his eyes were desperately searching mine for any signs of emotion. 'I know you like Masky but I just want you to know I'll always be here for you and I really am truly sorry for everything I put you through. You wouldn't be in this situation if it weren't for me.' I rubbed my temples. 'Okay, first up, I do not like Masky and secondly, if you're so sorry, why would you do any of that in the first place?' I questioned. For some reason my question must have hit a nerve because a tear slid down Jeff's cheek. He wiped it away quickly but I still noticed. I felt another pang of remorse. I realised then that it wasn't just me who had suffered. Jeff had actually suffered more. A tidal wave of guilt struck me. I sighed, I had sighed a lot today. I pulled him into a quick hug out of pity and let go before anyone noticed. I didn't want rumours spreading around about me and Jeff. The rims of his eyes were red. 'Just remember, I'll always be here for you,' he told me before hurrying upstairs and for some strange reason, I felt my heart wrench horribly in my chest.

Guysss, it's been over a week since I uploaded>.< I'd blame it on writer's block but it was probably just my laziness. I promised myself that I'd upload sooner but I write on my laptop and my laptop also has The Sims 3 on so I think we can guess what happened. Oh and SKIP THE REST OF THE AUTHORS NOTE IF YOU DON'T WANT A TINY SPOILER AND IT'S ONLY TINY BUT STILL...
