The End Has Begun (A Ticci Toby Romance)

Chapter 15 - Cuts

Toby's POV

I was sitting on the couch, waiting for Lilia. I was staring at the front door so intently, Ben was talking to me and I couldn't hear him until he stood in the way of the door.

"TOBY? Dude? Earth to Toby? You wanna play or not?" He said, waving a controller in my face. I waved him off, and continued to stare at the door.

Ben followed my eyes. "Why don't you go watch her train?"

"Can't. Slendy said so. Beside she'll think I'm over-protective. I don't want to lose her." Ben glared at me, and gave me a "ARE YOU STUPID?" look.

"She loves you. Look at everything she did for you. She took a lashing, went to rescue you while she was injured, and is willing to go through the transformation of human to creepypasta." I sighed and my eyes fell to the floor. "SHE DOESN'T KNOW, DOES SHE?"

"Shut up. I don't want to tell her yet. She'll back out and leave me for sure." Ben hit me on the back of the head. "OW!"

"Tell her." Ben said, glaring at me. Suddenly the door opened and Lilia, Jack and Jeff came in. Lilia had cuts on her face and arms. I ran over to her and looked at her concerned.

"I'm fine, don't worry. I lost though." Jeff and Jack both nodded when she said that, which made me skeptical. I brushed my hand over a few of her cuts.

"Lilia, we need to talk." She nodded and we walked upstairs to my room.

"What's up Toby?" She asked as I shut the door.

"Are you sure you are willing to do anything for me?" She nodded, and she stepped towards me. "Even if it means.... dying?" She looked at me, confused, and hugged me.

"I'll do anything for you, even if I die.I love you too much Toby." I smiled, and held her tightly.

"I love you too. I don't want to lose you. I'm scared you won't come back." She rubbed my back as I started to cry into her shoulder.

"Shhhhhhhhh. It's ok, Toby." She made me look her in the eyes, those perfect smoke-colored eyes.

Suddenly, Jeff came down the hall, opened my door, and stood in the doorway, blaring my favorite song, Blood On My Hands by: The Used. I couldn't help singing, it was and still is my favorite. I looked at Lilia and her eyes lit up. She started singing, too.

"You felt the coldness in my eyes,

It's something I'm not revealing.

Though you got used to my disguise,

You can't shake this awful feeling.

It's the me that I let you know,

Cause' I'll never show,

I have my reasons.

I hate to say that I told you so,

But I told you so.

There's blood on my hands like the blood in you.

Some things can't be treated so,

Don't make me,

Don't make me be myself around you.

Straight from your eyes it's barely me.

Beautifully so disfigured.

This other side that you can't see,

Just praying you won't remember.

Feel the pain that I never show,

I hope you know,

It's never healing.

I hate to say that I told you so, but I told you so." We both stopped there, me because I knew she was perfect for me, and her because I cut her off by kissing her. I saw Jeff smile even more then his cut smile, he closed the door and walked away. Lilia smiled when she pulled away, and I smiled back.

"He is so...." I started, "the best!" Lilia cut me off and kissed me. "So you like The Used, Lilia?" She jumped up and down, and showed me her The Used band t-shirt, which made her look gorgeous.

"Of course, they are my favorite band ever. Them, Pierce the Veil, Famous Last Words, Motionless In White, and Sleeping With Sirens.......... oh and Nickelback." She said, in that cute little voice of hers, which put my in a trance. "Toby, what did you want to tell me before Jeff came up?" I shook my head, breaking my trance.

"Oh yeah. That." I sighed and looked at the floor. "Well, you see........"
