The End Has Begun (A Ticci Toby Romance)

Chapter 17 - Masky & Hoodie

Toby's POV

I walked down stairs to see what all the commotion was about and I see Masky out the window, coming home after a month trip. When Masky came in, Hoodie was on his shoulders and hugging Masky's face.

"I MISSED YOU MASKY!!!! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?" Hoodie cried, hugging Masky's face tighter.

"Hoodie chill. I was out on a spree. Sorry I left suddenly brother." Hoodie let go of his face, but stayed on his shoulders. We all weren't too worried about Masky, he could take care of himself, but it was nice to have him back.

"Toby, what's all the noise about?" Lilia said, walking down the stairs, she stopped at the bottom of the steps. Masky and Hoodie looked at her, Hoodie fell off Masky's shoulders and tried to recover by standing up quickly.

"Who's that?" Hoodie said, pointing to Lilia, with a massive smile on his black face. I shook my head.

"Lilia, this is Masky." I motioned to Masky, he nodded, then I motioned to Hoodie. "And this is Hoodie." He started to walk towards her, and they shook hands.

"Nice to meet you Lilia, so are you a proxy or are you one of the boys' lovers?" He got a little too close to my girlfriend and I don't like Hoodie as it is. I ran over and pulled Lilia into my arms away from him. She knew what was going on.

"I'm all Toby's. Sorry, you are a little late to steal my heart. Nice to meet you both, Masky, Hoodie." She then kissed me playfully and ran upstairs. I smiled. "Good, I don't have to worry about her being stolen from me. ESPECIALLY by HOODIE!" I thought to myself, and turned to Hoodie.

"STAY AWAY FROM MY GIRL, HOODIE." I said, in a low growl. Hoodie glared at me.

"I'll do what I want..... and it's never too late to steal your heart, Princess. I'll make you mine soon enough." He laughed and ran over to Masky, hoping I wouldn't hurt him if Masky was around. I'd get him sooner than he thinks. I ran upstairs after Lilia, I passed by a few rooms and had my eyes covered. I laughed and turned around to kiss Lilia. I kissed her, but when I pulled away, I saw Clockwork, my ex. I heard a sniffle and I turned to see Lilia had seen everything.

"Lilia, it's not how it looks. I......" was all I could say before she ran off to god-knows-where, bawling. I tried to run after her but she disappeared. I turned back to Clockwork, who had a nasty smirk on her face.

"I knew you'd want me back, Toby. I knew she was just a little whore to...." I slapped her before she could finish.

"DON'T EVER TALK ABOUT HER LIKE THAT AGAIN, CLOCKWORK. YOU'RE THE WHORE. That's why I dumped your sorry ass." I yelled and ran off to find Lilia. When I found her, she was crying in Hoodie's arms. I snarled and ran over to them. "WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING WITH MY GIRL HOODIE?!?!?" I pulled her into my arms, but she pushed me away, and slid back into Hoodie's.

"Go away Toby. I don't want you near me right now." As Lilia said that, tears welled up in my eyes, then I looked at Hoodie, who had a nasty smirk on his face.

"Lilia, I love you. And I thought Clockwork was you. I'm sorry sweetheart. Please forgive me." I begged her and she slid away from Hoodie and ran away from both of us.

"LILIA!" We both called after her, glared at each other and ran after her. Hoodie was always faster than me but there was no way I'm letting him get to my girl before me. Besides, I had an advantage. I knew where she was headed, to her sister's grave.
