Hidden (TicciMask)

Part 8

Masky POV

I heard Jack coming up the stairs "What's the..." He trailed of when he saw me with a bloodied, limp Toby in my arms. 

"Oh god...." He whispered.

"Come here." He said and I followed him up to the med wing. I layed him down on one of the beds and Jack went to get everything he needed. I sat down on one of the chairs beside him. 

"I just want to make everyone smile." What if that was the last thing he'd ever say? What if the last thing he ever said was so full of self-hatred and so entirely convinced that his own death would make us happy. I couldn't bear the thought as I looked at Toby. 

I thought of every time I had yelled at him and told him how stupid and annoying he was. Making him believe that it was really true. 

It didn't take long for Jack to finish what he was doing and silently leave the room. I had asked if he was going to be okay but he just looked at me and told me he didn't know. 

I sat beside him for hours and after a while I fell asleep in the chair and woke up about an hour later with my head on the bed. 

"So you're finally awake?" Someone said and I turned around to see Jack leaning against the wall. 

"Yeah, I'm awake, how so?" I asked sleepily. Then I remembered the situation and sat up strait. "Is he going to be okay?"

"I'll tell you when I know."

"Oh, okay." I said and looked over at Toby who was sleeping in the bed beside me. He was so much paler than usual. "Please be." I whispered and stroked the hair away from his forehead.

"Anyway, I wanted to talk to you, it's important." He said.

"Then why didn't you just wake me up?" 

"Because I didn't want to end up with a knife in my head or something, thought that'd be pretty obvious."

"Well, you're thinking of Jeff, not me, I don't even have a knife with me right now."

"You can never be to careful I guess." He said and shrugged. 

"What did you want to talk to me about?" 

"I just wanted to tell you that Toby is going to be okay...and that you probably should sleep more because you fell asleep...again." 

"That makes me so relieved." I said while i was pretty much internally screaming of happiness, even though we usually didn't always get along he was still very dear to me. Like that annoying little brother you can't help but like...most of the time anyway...

"Wait, why didn't you say that when I asked!?"

"Because I had planed out the conversation in my head and you ruined it by asking." He scowled and left the room. Jack was weird sometimes...

 I sat there for almost an hour before I fell asleep again. I woke up to find Toby staring at me. I leaned forward and hugged him tightly.

"I'm so glad you're okay." I whispered and hugged him even tighter. I sat back and saw him looking at me in astonishment. 

"W-why?" He asked. 

"Why what?"

"W-why did you just h-hug me and say...that?" He asked, trying not to show what he was feeling but I saw he was nervous, maybe he was afraid I would say that I didn't care for him or something.

"Because I care for you and I'm happy that you are okay." 

"But w-why would you? Y-you a-always say how much better e-everything would be w-without me here b-because I'm always messing something up and ruining things."

I didn't know what to say, it was true, I had said all of that but I never really meant it, I was just so mad at him...

"I did say that." I admit. "But I never meant any of it, I was just angry and you know I overreact when I'm angry... I kinda hate to admit it because you're super annoying sometimes but you are one of my closest friends and I really care for you, just like everyone else here does." I said and looked down at my hands, I had no idea of how to act right now. What was I supposed to say?

I looked up at him and he smiled but his smile looked uncertain, like he didn't really believe me. 

Btw, is "layed" really a real word? It was all red-liny and stuff and I kinda had no idea of what to write there so I wrote it anyway...

(Most incorrect sentience ever xD)

And am I (and EJ) the only ones who plans out every conversation before we actually have it? 

(Please tell me we're not hehe)

Anywayy... Hope you enjoyed! And I was planing the cutest thing ever here but I guess that'll be in the next chapter...

Feels like it's one "Scen" per chapter hehe, should change that..
