Twitched Love

Beginings and Broken Hearts

"How's Toby been?"

It felt like my breath was knocked out of me. I would have thought I was dead if it wasn't for my racing heart.

I gulped down my nervousness, "W-What do you m-mean?" I cursed myself for being like this. Jeff the killer never stuttered.

"Nothing...just asking. Anyways, how has my baby been?"

I was still shaking, from his question of Toby and him calling me his baby.

And before I knew it tears started to pour from my eyes, once again.

"Whoa whoa whoa, hey what's wrong?" He put on his shirt and immediately ran towards me. He held me by the sides of my arms and looked at me with concern written all over his face.

"I missed you so much." I said through gasping bits of sobs.

He held me as I continued to let the salty water drip onto my pants and his hands.

After a few moments, I tried to finish what I needed to say. "You left for so long. I couldn't take it anymore. Your absence almost drove me out of my mind. You don't understand how much pain I was in."

He took his blue mask off and looked at me. It was the first time in so long that I got to see his face again. His pale gray skin, his perfect, soft lips, and of course the empty eye sockets that dripped a black substance. Yes most people find him revolting. But he to me, is the most beautiful person I have ever laid eyes on. Besides Toby... No No No. Fuck.

"Jeff, of course I understood the pain you felt, because I felt it too. I had to be parted from you too. You don't know how many times I was so close to just giving up on the mission and running back to the mansion for you." I felt my heart melt with those words. Those simple sentences.

"What happened to the mission Jack? You're not suppose to be back this soon."

"Isn't it a good thing that I'm back though?" He sounded hurt. I could hear it in his voice.

"Of course it is! It definitely is! But what ha-" He cut me off.

"Nothing. It's nothing you need to know or worry about." He was definitely hiding something from me. I saw his back muscles tighten and so did his face.

I decided to leave this subject as it was. But I was for sure going to bring it up again.

But for now all I said was, "You should rest up. There is going to be a celebration party for you after all."

Third Person POV

Masky walked over to Toby as it was clear that he was tense. Toby's eyes were on the pair that walked up the stairs and disappeared for now.

"Toby what's wrong?"

His attention snapped to Masky, and a scowl replaced itself on his face.

"Don't talk to me." Toby shrugged off his concern and walked to his room, but Masky still followed.

"Toby.." He walked up the stairs with him and almost got into his room, but Toby shut the door before he got the chance to.

"Go away.." His voice sounded so cold. It gave even Masky a shiver.

"I'm not going to say sorry for what I said, because I'm trying to protect you."

It was silent...and then the door swung open with so much force that it almost broke off it's hinges.

"WELL MAYBE I DON'T NEED YOU TO PROTECT ME ALL THE TIME TIM. I'M JUST AS CAPABLE AS YOU!" Toby yelled and his face was pure anger. He hasn't felt like this in a long, long time.

Masky looked surprised, but his eyes never stopped staring directly at Toby's. It was like a stare-off. None of them dared to look away.

But then....tears started to erupt from Masky's eyes. (A/N: Yes I know a lot of crying in this chapter, but you know it's sad.)

There were so many tears, that Masky couldn't stop them. They flooded and obscured his vision. Everything was blurry. But he didn't wipe them away. He didn't want to. He wanted Toby to see how much he had hurt him. How much pain he couldn't hold in anymore. How much sorrow that flooded his mind, ever since his feelings had changed about this boy.

Toby instantly felt guilty as it had also showed on his face. He regretted what he had said. He regretted yelling at the older man. He regretted making him cry.

"Masky..." He didn't know what to say? Sorry? It's not like that word does any good. He can't say sorry for living, instead of his sister. It wouldn't bring her back. He can't say sorry for kissing Jeff. It would be almost impossible for them both to act like it never happened

"If you..." (lol listening to if you by Big Bang right now. Sorry ruining the moment) Masky gulped down a breath as tears continued to fall. "....seriously think that you can save yourself from a huge pain that you're leading yourself into. Then go ahead. I'm sorry. I'll leave you alone from now on..." And that was all. Masky walked away with still fresh tears. His feet dragged with all the sorrow weighing him down. His mouth frowned with all the pain bending it. His heart collapsed with all of the happiness evaporated. It's like it all disappeared into thin air, like it never existed in the first place.

With those words from Masky, Toby couldn't say anything. He just stood by his door. And looked at the spot that Masky once stood. He couldn't say anything. He couldn't bring himself to ever say a single word at the back of the slowly disappearing Masky. So then, he just stood there until Masky had completely vanished out of his sight.

I will not cry. He promised, commanded, demanded.

I will not cry. He said it in his mind again.

"I will not cry..." But he knew that all he was doing was just lying to himself.
