hidden love ( masky x ticci toby)

chapter three

-Toby's pov-

It's been three weeks since the accident.I have been stuck in this pit of sadness that even with my bipolar disorder couldn't make me happy. I have locked myself in my room at this point. I barely eat. The only time I do is when someone tries to force feed my like I'm an infant . I just don't know what to do. masky's a coma from the trauma his body had endured . I'm lost, I have nothing to live for now. Ej says that he had a fifty-fifty chance of waking up or staying asleep. I'm also dehydrated from my non-stop crying. I guess most of the pasta's knew that I loved him because they told me so. So some people understand my pain , but not really.

I get up walking to the door hesitantly . Ej had asked me too help him with cleaning masky clothes and mask and junk. Wait.... clean his mask?!! That means it would be off his face , and his face would be reveled to the world! way to turn the tides on me life.. did ej set this up? Was he doing this on propose ? Ah who cares! I want to know who masky really is underneath that snow white, smooth plastic mask. It was the only thing keeping me from knowing who he really was. Now I'm very excited and anxious. This was going to change everything for me , and I loved it.

I quickly run downstairs to where ej and masky were. No one was around so I walked right in not wanting to waist anymore time. I chuckle to myself quietly for I was about to see the face of my love. There he was laying on the small recovery bed with mask still on. Dang... oh well I have too clean it anyways right ? I walk over slowly taking the mask off his face. My heart nearly stopped when I saw his face, but not for a good reason. I knew who this guy was , and for all the wrong reasons. This guy, masky, was really timothy this whole time. Timothy, the leader of those guy who beat me everyday at school till I joined this place. Timothy the heartless monster that had died years ago was really masky.

What was this felling that I'm feeling. I want to cry and hurt him, yet at the same time I still love him. Could I still love him ? Could I love a guy that tortured me emotionally and physically . I drop the mask on the floor from just pure shock as ej walked in.

" oh toby I didn't expect you to see you in here.." was he shocked that I left the room or did he know about this?

" y-yeah ..... " my throat tightens " d-did you know about t-this ?...."

" about what ?"

" t-this! about timothy !!! why didn't you tell me that masky was timothy?!" was I angry?

" I thought everyone knew? why? what's wrong ?"

" This man ruined my life for ever, and now I find out that masky was really him!! he doesn't even act the same as before was he tricking me?! was he playing me this whole time because he knew who I was ?!!" for the first time in my life I didn't twitch while yelling .

Ej went silent for a while maybe trying to think of an answer. Why was this happening to me. I thought all my sadness was in the past but now its right back where it started.

" Toby .." his voice was softer than normal. " you know everyone here had changed because of their past. I don't know what happened between you and him , but understand he's not that same person as before and nether are you. Things change all the time even people , so maybe he regretted all of that and wanted to make up for it...."

" like a person like that would ever change! "

" But you changed right? you were once weak and mindless to overwhelming sadness, but after everything you became strong and more focused on the good . So people do change remember that."

I left, stormed back to my room locking my door. I started to cry again but not because of sadness, but because of the fact that ej was right. people do change and so do their feelings. Please masky wake up..... I need to know.....
