You can't hold it in forever...

SlenderMAN?

*Kat pov*

    Jeff kept his lips on mine as the nurse stormed away and someone else walked in. I glanced out of the corner of my eye to see a shocked Toby. I pushed Jeff away. Jeff looked confused until he saw Toby. Toby's jaw had dropped. An angry look came over his face and he stormed away.

    "Wait it's not what it looks like." I try to say to him as the door closes.

    "god dammit. TOBY WAIT!" Jeff ran out of the room and dragged a struggling Toby back in. He pushes Toby into a chair. Toby glares daggers at both of us before slumping down and pulling his hood over his head, covering his face. It was quiet in the room for a minute or so before I though of what to say.

    "Toby it wasn't real. Jeff surprised me. I didn't know. I-I'm sorry." I finished. Why would Toby get so emotional over a kiss?

    Wow really? You don't know. Oh my Zalgo. Do I have to spell it out? He likes you, you like him. Can it be any clearer? Rose was talking in my head.

    What makes you think he likes me? I asked back.

    Omz its so obvious, let me show you somthing. I was suddenly pulled into a flash back. I was standing next to Rose as Jeff, Toby, and I ran into the dream chamber. I fainted and Toby caught me. He holds onto me, even when dad came and took me from him. He started crying. The scene changed suddenly, I was now in Slenderman's mansion and watched as Toby watched over me tirelessly. Never leaving my side, for a week. Until Jeff cane in and took him away. Next scene. I was carried in by Slenderman and placed on the couch, bleeding to death. Toby stayed at my side even after I fell unconscious. Only leaving me when Eyeless Jack forces him to. The flashback ended.

    See what I mean? GO! Tell him how you feel, do it before you lose him forever! Rose was right. I swung my legs over the side of the bed and jumped down, staggering on my feet a little bit. I walked over to Toby. Jeff looked up when I swung my legs over the side of the bed and stood up. Toby looked up. I slowly walked over to him. He stood up.

     "What are you doing?" He asked. As I stood face to face with him. Before he could say anything I hugged him. I tilted my head up a bit so that my mouth wasn't in his shoulder.

    "I'm sorry that I hurt you Toby. It's that I really like you and I-",my voice cracked, "I don't want to see you hurt." I closed my eyes. Toby still hasn't hugged me back. I pulled away and put my head down as I walked back to my bed. I got back in and leaned back against the pillows. Toby put his head down as he quickly walked out. I closed my eyes as my heart broke into a million pieces. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't stop the tears that flowed from my closed eyes.

    Toby didn't come any anymore and I felt worse and worse. The doctors worried that I wouldn't get better. The infection in my side spread across my stomach and around my back. Getting closer and closer to my heart and lungs. I was eating from tubes, because my stomach was already consumed by the infection. I was constantly monitored by doctors and nurses. There were so many tubes attached to me I lost count. I've given up. I've lost all will to live and the infection is just getting worse and worse. Both Slenderman and Dad have been trying to get me to be there proxy again, but I need to be in full health before that can happen. I spend my time sleeping and reading, I don't talk much anymore. Jack dosen't know why my body refuses to heal, but I do. I've never told anyone. The only other person that knows is Jeff. I've stopped talking to everyone, even dad who tries to communicate with me from time to time. I've managed to block out both dads and Slenderman's voice when they try to communicate with me. It's been 2 weeks sence Toby carried me through the doors and the doctors expect me to live for about a week before I die.

    *Knock Knock* My door opened a crack and a nurse poked her head in.

    "Kathleen? Your father's here." I sat up for the first time in a week, startling the nurse. That's impossible, dad is still stuck in the dream chamber! The nurse opened the door wider and a tall man walked in. I didn't recognize him. The man asked the nurse for some alone time with his daughter. The nurse nodded and left. I give him a wary look. The next proxy hasn't arrived yet and I was getting worried. I studied the man's face as he walked up to me. He had green eyes and jet black hair that was perfectly cut and styled. His skin was very pale, like he hadn't been in the sun for days. He had on a crisp spotless business suit with a bright red tie. As he got closer I slowly reached for the button that calls a nurse over to my room. He noticed this.

    "Don't press that button." He had a slight Germin accent. I stopped for a second, then with all the speed I could muster I reached my hand out and tried to jab the button, but I was stopped by a long black, tentacle. Tentacle?!? I looked back at the man. Black tentacles sprouting from his back. I finally recognized him. My mouth dropped. He released my hand and I dropped it back to my side.

    "Ok what's going on? According to Jack you should be out of the hospital by now." He crossed his arms and retracted his tentacles. I looked away, I don't want to talk about it.

    "Answer me." His voice had an annoyed tone to it. I opened my mouth to say somthing but I just ended up coughing up blood.

    "If you are not going to answer my question then I'll just get the answer out of your head." I tried to fight back but I couldn't do anything as he flipped through my memories back to that day.

    "No don't make me relive*cough* the memories." I stared saying but he pressed on watching the memory I saw it playing out in my head. Jeff's kiss, and Toby rejecting me. I put my head down. After the memory finished we were quiet for a few seconds.

    "You humans and your weird obsessions." I looked up confused. Obsessions? This isn't what I expected him to say.

    "Love." He responded to my confused look.

    "Get over it! Is a slow painful death worth it?" He threw his hands up into the air. "You humans!" He started pacing and ranting on about how I should get my act together and forget Toby. Then he started ranting I about how us 'humans' prefer fast painless deaths over slow painful ones.

    "S-Slendy? Calm down." I reached out and grabbed his arm. He looked down at me, surprise in his eyes. Then a horrified look came into his eyes and he sat down in a nearby chair groaning.

    "I've turned into my brother! Curse this human body!" He leaned his head back against the chair.

    "I get what you're saying. Thank you." I said after a minute or so of silence.

    "No problem, now I'm going home so I can be myself again!" He started to leave.

    "WAIT!", He stopped at the door, "This stays between us, right?" He nodded and left. One of the nurses that wasn't your average nurse and was actually kinda cool came in just as he left.

    "Who's that? He's hot!" She said after the door closed.

    "Uh he's my dad." I say back.

    "Why is it that you take all the hotties?" She responds fake pouting. Then a smile crosses her face.

    "Nice to see you're talking again." She checks my bandages and vital signs then leaves. I laid back down and closed my eyes. I have some healing to do.
