Ticking with Love (Ticci-Toby x reader)

Ch. 83

Whoa bros, 20k reads? Thank you guys! Sorry I didn't publish Friday or Saturday, I was hanging with friends.

"Well, what are you ganna do now?" Mark asked, stuffing part of a sandwich in his mouth. "I'm going to use it when I need it most." I said, pulling off a piece and chewing it slowly. "Can you move time forward?" Mark looked at me, waiting for an answer. "I'm not really sure- I don't want to move time anymore today. What if we get stuck and then there's two of us?" I assumed and looked out the window. "What if it made duplicates of ourselves and they're somewhere else right now- and then they're ganna come into the house right-" we both paused as we heard the front door unlock.
"M-Mark I think we should hide." I whispered as the handle started to turn. "Hurry come on!" I grabbed his hand and we both booked it to his bedroom, quickly but quietly pulling open his closet door and hiding in a pile of clothes. "Are we just staying here for the rest of the day?" Mark whispered as he tried to look out the closet to see if anyone was coming. I pulled him back and sighed in relief that we didn't get caught. We both suddenly perked up as we heard a voice say "Hello?"
"What should we do? Do we answer it?" Mark asked as he stood up but fell making a big thud. "Hey you're on me!" I shouted and the closet door opened. "Mark? Y/n? What are you guys doing?" It was Ace and he looked at us in terror. "A-Am I interrupting something? I'm really sorry- I'll go!" He was about to walk away when I shouted,"No!" Mark got off me and pulled me back up. "We were just hiding, that's all."
"From what? Aliens?" Ace smirked and burst out laughing, rubbing his head and waiting for an answer from us. "We thought you were a robber or something." I said and unnoticeably stepped on Mark's foot for a second. "Yeah, so we hid in the closet and didn't want anything to do with them."
"Then y/n shouted which gave your hiding place away. Y/n, here's a hiding tip, don't shout when there's danger on the loose." Ace walked us both back into the kitchen,"Why'd you think I was a robber though? I sent you a text like 5 minutes ago that I was coming here."
Mark checked his phone which was on the counter and saw a text message from Ace. "Oh well look at that heh... I didn't take my phone with me." Ace laughed and playfully hit him in the head- softly. "Good job."
I looked at my watch. "O-oh I should be getting back to the mansion." I looked at them for a second. "You haven't been at school for like 3 days... at least today was a snow day heh." Ace said and gave me a worried look. "I'll be there now though, don't worry." I waved to them both and walked out the door.
I guess Mr. Smiley was exaggerating with my throat wound.
I felt at my throat but noticed there weren't any scabs or wounds.
Huh, maybe I'll look in a mirror when I get to the mansion.

   As I stepped foot right on front of the mansion, I darted into the closest bathroom and checked my neck. "It looks like there wasn't even a scratch on it." Confused, I decided to make another trip to Mr. Smiles house to ask him about it.

Clockwork's POV

   I can't believe y/n took my love away from me! Gosh! I wish she would kill herself or just die! I'll do something. Watch me y/n. Watch me.

I scoffed as I though about y/n, she disgusted me- how sick she was by stealing my cute Toby. I reached the portal to Zalgo with Jane. "Alright, here it is, just step in." Jane said as she rubbed her wrists. I had cut her out of the rope Mr. Smiley tied her in and we both escaped. I was finally going to get Toby to actually love me, and y/n out of the picture.
I smiled and laughed maniacally as I stepped through the portal. Y/n was going to die once and for all.
