No Longer Dead

5

I wake up during the night with Clockwork laying next to me. Her small arm is wrapped around my bare waist and I realize our legs are tangled together. I look at her sleeping and notice that she can't close her eye with the clock in it.

I purse my lips and sit up slowly. Her arm drops off of my torso as I do so and she shifts in her spot on my bed. I look over at her and find a strong sense of calmness flow through me. My leg twitches and my neck cracks. The sound of my neck cracking must've woken her up because a few seconds after it happened, her eye opens.

"Hey." She says as she sits up.

"Hey." I croak. My fingers run through my hair and I huff.

"You okay?" She asks.

"I-I don't kn-know..." I say.

"Are you regretting kissing me?" Her eyes look down at her hands as she fiddles with her fingers.

"N-no!" I say. "I-I just...I hardly kn-know y-you...I m-mean, memories f-flooded through m-me last night, b-but I still f-feel like I don't kn-know you all that w-well..."

"O-oh..." Her eye looks over at the floor and I bite my lip. "Toby, I-"

"You d-don't need to try a-and tell me th-things I've done t-to help me g-get my memory b-back..." I say.

"I know, Toby. I just..." A pause. Clockwork exhales heavily through her nose before continuing. "Will you meet me by the forest's edge this afternoon?"

"W-why?" I ask.

"Just...promise me you will meet me there." She says.

"Okay. I-I promise."

Hey guys!
Okay, first things first (I'm the realest) I am so so so so so so sooooooo sorry for the lack of uploads lately! I have been in the process of moving to Portland and now that I am finally here in my new home in Portland, I will try as much as I can to write as much as I can.
Anywho, I hope you enjoyed this chapter (although it's short :/). Why does Clockwork want Toby to meet her by the forest??
Love you all, stay kawaii ❤️
