Weak

Chapter 8

*Flippy's P.O.V.*

I carried the tray of food carefully down the hall towards my bedroom door, listening carefully to see if Flaky was awake. There was no noise at all so I pulled out the key and unlocked the door, slowly opening it.

I glanced over at the bed and noticed that the covers were pulled over against Flaky's body which I could help but to chuckle at. She was such a heavy sleeper. I slowly walked over towards my bed and sit at the edge of it, trying not to scare her if she was awake since she probably didn't know where she was.

My cheeks started to burn a bit when I held out my hand to place it onto her arm, trying to shake her awake.

I was interrupted by a sudden flailing and kicking by the red head which caught me off guard because she kicked me straight in the nose, causing it to bleed instantly, "Augh!" The plate I was holding was now shattered on the ground along with the food I made.

"F-Flippy...?"

I heard her mutter in shock. I looked at her while holding my nose. She looked as if she just saw a ghost; almost as if she was about to cry out of fear. Guilt immediately swarmed over me when I saw the look on her face.

"Flaky I-"

"W-What am I doing here?! Why did you lock me in your room!! Y-Y-You're not going to... you know ... are you..?"

She was hitting me with a thousand questions that made me stutter when I tried to get a word out. The last one made me blush furiously,

"N-Now hold on! I didn't bring you here to do... that. I brought you here because... something happened last night to you and I had to hide you or I would be in deep trouble..." I muttered the last part slightly, not wanting to say what happened to her.

She just looked up at me dumbfounded but then slowly looked down. I noticed what looked like water droplets falling onto her lap.
Was she crying...? I watched her awkwardly as she turned from crying to sobbing,

"I...I-I wanna go h-home...." she whimpered sadly as she cried into her hands.

I instantly felt pain hit my heart when I heard those words come out her mouth. I shakily put my hand on her shoulder and looked down at her sympathetically.

"A few days... Just a few days...then you can go... I'm sorry." I sighed and slowly got up, blood dripping from my nose to the floor. I was about to head towards the door when I suddenly felt a tug on my jacket sleeve, making me look behind me.

"...Please... D-Don't lock me in here..." Flaky looked up at me with big and sad puppy dog eyes. It felt like daggers were stabbed into my chest. I was heartbroken. I didn't want to do this to her but I had no choice...

"F...Fine.... You can come into the living-room...but not for long. Okay..?"

Flaky nodded her head slowly in understanding as she held her small hands against her chest. I smiled slightly at the red head and opened the door only for me to get pushed roughly onto the floor, to which Flaky quickly sprinted over me. She was trying to escape! I couldn't let that happen! She would tell everyone what I did!

I stumbled a bit but before she could even try to run into the living-room, I grabbed her tiny ankle and yanked her backwards, causing her to fall right on her face. She wailed and cried from the pain but it didn't stop her. She thrusted her foot towards my face and hit me right on the nose again. I winced and held my face, making it a perfect chance for her to start crawling.

*Flaky's P.O.V.*

I panicked whenever I saw Flippy holding his bloody face. What had I gotten myself into?! I started to shake. I immediately got onto my feet and started to run around the house, trying to find the exit. I glanced around the room when I spotted a large dark green door that looked like it led out to his back yard. I took one more look at the man laying on the floor before I practically pounced onto the doorknob.

"F-Flaky!! Please!"

I heard a sudden wail come from behind me. I froze.

"Don't...go...please..."

I made the worst decision in my life. I slowly turned my head back to the green haired soldier laying on the cold floor. He was looking up at me with the saddest expression on his face I had ever seen. He was sobbing now and blood flowed down along with his tears. It was almost too much for me to look at. He looked just like when he was a kid. We were playing around in the park when Flippy had accidentally tripped and fell onto the grass, causing a bloody scrape on his knee. He cried and cried until he couldn't cry anymore.

I glanced at the doorknob. Then at him. Then back at the knob. My shoulders raised a bit as I started to cry as well, slowly letting go of the door which caused me to collapse onto the floor as well as him. I didn't know what to do. I wanted to leave but I felt guilty for what I had done to him.

I held onto my knees and sobbed loudly until I felt something cold wrap around my shoulders. I slightly looked over them and gasped in fear when I saw the man pressing himself against my back with his arms wrapped around me.

"Thank you....Flaky...." he whispered in my ear. Only causing me to cry even harder. What have I done....
