The End Has Begun (A Ticci Toby Romance)

Chapter 1 - The Beginning

I laid in my black room, on my black and purple swirled comforter, staring at my white ceiling. I could hear mom and her dumb boyfriend duking it out over something stupid. I heard feet stomping out the door, and then the door slam. It sounded like mom went to blow off steam so she left me alone with that cock-sucker James. I heard stomping up the steps and towards my room. SHIT!! My door swung open, and a drunk James come stumbling in. "Lilia! You little bitch. Get your lazy ass up and go get me a drink." I rolled my eyes.

"You came up here to make me go down stairs and get you more liquor from the store. Come on, James, you are better then that." I sat up and glared at him, through my black bangs. He burped at me and I could smell the tequila on his breath.

"Gross. Get out of my room and I'll go get some in a minute." He stumbled out of my room. I put on my favorite hoodie and walked out of my room. I ran down the stairs and out the door, grabbing the $20 on the kitchen counter.

I started to walk to the store around the corner. It was dark and stormy looking, it was beautiful. It was only 5:30pm, but it was dark never the less. I walked by the woods and heard rustling in the brush. I ignored it, figuring it was an animal of some sort. I walked into the store and saw Rob, my friend who's 21 so he can buy James's tequila for me. I walked over to him.

"Hey Lilia. James's usual?" He asked, I nodded and handed him the money. He went into the back, grabbed two bottles, put them in a bag, plus my favorite candies, and gave me the bag. "There you are." I smiled at him and was about to walk out. "Wait, Lilia." I stopped and turned to him. "Sorry I missed your birthday last week, so happy 17th, Lilia."

"Thanks Rob, and don't get to smashed ok?" He nodded and I left the store.

As I was walking back, I heard the rustling again. I peered into the forest and saw a figure. "Come out where I can see you." A boy about 17 or 18 stepped out of the shadows and looked at me. He had orange goggles over his eyes and a black mouthguard on. "Who are you?"

"My name.......is Toby.......Ticci-Toby."
