Inspired by Melanie Martinez's song "Soap".

Think I just remembered something, I think I left the faucet running, now my words are filling up the tub, Darling you just soak in it, but I know you'll get out the minute, notice all your fingers are pruning up.

Toby sat there, mouth shut and face pale. He had just confessed his feelings towards Clockwork. Clockwork also sat there, stunned by Toby's words. She was letting those words process her head and she wanted to talk but couldn't help but have the urge to leave.

I'm tired of being gentle, tiptoe, trying to keep the water warm, let me under your skin, uh-oh there it goes, I said too much it, overflowed why do I always spill?

I feel it coming up my throat, guess I better wash my mouth out with soap, God I wish I never spoke, now I gotta wash my mouth out with soap.

Toby wished he never said that but he was just sick and tired of trying to hide his feelings towards his friend. 'Oh great, she must hate me now. Why do I always have to be so damn pathetic? I feel like I have to wash my mouth out with soap now. Heh, that's weird isn't it?' he thought to himself.

Think I got myself in trouble, so I fill the bath with bubbles, then I'll put the towels all away. Should've never said the word "love", threw a toaster in the bathtub. I'm sick of all the games I have to play.

'I really just want to run away and curl myself up in a ball. I should've never said the word "love". I bet I made her feel uncomfortable and I'll understand if she doesn't feel the same way. But I hope this doesn't ruin our friendship. I can't stand being away from her. She's my everything, the one who liked to hang out with me, listen to my problems and secrets, and tell me she cares about me and never wants to see me hurt. God, i can't lose her.' he kept thinking. Toby and Clockwork sat there in the dinner table, not saying a single word to each other. Toby was about to finally tell his apologies to Clockwork, until he heard her say something. She said "I love you too Toby." She looked up at him and gave him a warm smile and opened her arms wide, awaiting for a big or even a kiss. Toby didn't waste his time and gently kissed her, happy she felt the same. The last thing he thought was that it felt as if she drained all the water that he had kept in the tub.

Guys this is my first song related, story, thingy, and I think this will be the only story I'll ever write for. It was kinda weird but okay I guess but, OH MY GOD I UPDATED TODAY!! I surprised myself really but I'm working on another book that should be coming out on Halloween and yeah, it should be interesting. So that's all and peace ✌
