Ticking with Love (Ticci-Toby x reader)

Ch. 82

    I blinked, the sunlight seeping into my eyes as I was blinded by the light coming from the window. I got up and noticed Toby wasn't in the bed. "Toby?" I looked around, dazed from the light. Suddenly I heard laughing come from downstairs.
    They must all be eating breakfast.
   I hurried and changed into a blue sweater with black jeans and quickly ran down the stairs and towards the kitchen where everyone was eating. "Toby, why didn't you wake me up?" I questioned, grabbing a chair and sitting next to him.
"S-Sorry y/n- y-you just looked s-so peaceful." He stole another waffle from the plate and inhaled it like Scooby-Doo with any kind of food. (People who know Scooby-Doo ayyyyy)
   I served myself a waffle and a piece of bacon- I wasn't that hungry now. Taking a bite of bacon, I remembered the medicine that Mr. Smiley gave me and quickly excused myself. Honestly, I didn't know when to take it but I decided just to take it now. Sifting through the clothes I wore the day before, I found the medicine in my jean pocket and poured some into my mouth- probably about five drops.
   Now, you would expect medicine to taste horrible but this medicine tasted like nothing. It was quite pleasing actually.
   I went back to the breakfast table and chomped down my breakfast until it was finish- not that I had much in the first place.
  I haven't seen Mark in a long time. Maybe I should visit him today.
   After I announced that I was going to Mark's place, I headed out on the journey but quickly got curious as police cars pulled up in the front of my house.
   "Who's seen y/n l/n lately? Her parents haven't been answering phone calls and haven't been paying the bills for a while." A familiar black haired officer said. "Yeah, we should break in." Laughed another familiar brown haired officer.
   Aren't those the officers that took me to jail?
   A crowd of people started to form around the house and I caught a glimpse of Mark. He looked pretty worried for the calm guy he was always known as. I whipped out my phone and texted him.

Meet me at your house, ok?

   He responded with a quick "Ok" and I saw him head off towards his house. I ran through an abandoned park that was between my house and Mark's. Finally, I reached Mark's house and saw him about to walk up the driveway. "Mark!" I shouted. "Y/n? Where were you?" He walked over to me and grabbed my hands. "You made me worried sick. There are search parties looking for your parents too. They've been gone for almost 11 months for crying out loud! Do you know anything?"
   I couldn't speak for a moment. "C-could we just hurry and go inside?" I asked, shivering in the cold and looking around us in case anyone was listening in on our conversation. "Of course!" I ran towards the front door and unlocked it, stepping in and closing it after I entered.
   "Ok so you know that pocket watch you gave me?" I brought it out and waved it in front of his face. He gave me a questioning look,"Uh yeah? Why?" "I think I turned back time with it..." I looked at it and fiddled with it in my fingers.
   "Y/n are you good right now? I could get a glass of wate-" "Mark I'm telling you the truth!" I pouted and turned away to look at the window. "Can you do it now?" He asked. I shook my head no. "Well, then you wouldn't remember it because you would be turned back too!" I thought for a minute and snapped when I got an idea. "Maybe just hold my hand while doing it! And touch the watch. I'll turn it back so the police are appearing in front of my house again." He nodded and did as told, then I pulled to top knob and turned it until it was 5 minutes early.
   Nothing seemed to happened and he turned to me. "Did it work?" I opened the door. "Let's find out." We both ran towards my house again and hid behind some trees.
   "Who's seen y/n l/n lately? Her parents haven't been answering phone calls and haven't been paying the bills for a while." The black haired officer said again. "Yeah, we should break in." Laughed the brown haired officer.
   Mark quietly held his hands to his mouth and gasped. "Y/n let's go back to my house- I don't think it's safe here." I nodded and we both ran back to Mark's house to explain the mysterious pocket watch.
