Proxy Love (Ticci Toby Fanfiction)

chapter 3

~~~~~~Toby's POV~~~~~~

I know I should let go of her now but for some reason, I just can't. I've been holding on to her for like fifty minutes. Now that she's sobbing, I could tell she wants someone to hold her at least. So her parents has been abusing her like how I was. Her mind might have been on edge already but she couldn't let it unleash yet. Nikki is not a bad person after all, more like tough girl.

Us on the floor, her in my arms, this is getting weird. I felt my heart began to race, but not like a scared way, it's more than just me being her friend. Oh gosh no! I can't fall for her! I don't even know that much about her and this is how am I gonna be with her?

I let her go and stood up. My sleeves are soaked in her tears, but it didn't bother me. I pulled her up to on her feet and she began to wipe the tears off her face. The red eyes had already faded and back to the usual hazel brown. As soon as she calmed down, since it's like only 4 am, we took her to the mansion.

I was surprised she wasn't scared of running away, I guess she made it her final choice. As Slendy and her went upstairs, I flopped down on the couch.

"So Toby," Jack said, giving me the mischievous look. "the girl seems to trust you more than us now. She's been sticking close to you since we got here. And you were still hugging her, even when she was crying. Is there something up?" He chuckled.

"N-no. Nothing is u-up. She's crying and t-the least I can d-do is help her calm d-down." I felt my face burning up.

"Dude your face is red." Ben laughed. "If you ask me, she is more likely to be for you. She has hot legs and hips you know." I rolled my eyes.

"I don't n-need to know t-that." That's because I nearly touched them anyways.

"She's the only girl in this mansion. The others are at the other mansions. So if your not going for it, I will." Ben chuckled. I smacked the back of his head.

"I'll go f-for it when I-I want-" I slap my hand over my mouth. The guys were laughing.

"Toby your in love." Jack laughed.

"Shut up!" I shouted. As Nikki walked down the stairs, everyone stopped laughing and acted as if nothing happened. She sat next to me on the couch as Ben stood up and head upstairs.

"We'll just leave you two alone for now." Jeff snickered and head up stairs along with Jack. It was as awkward as now.

"So your s-staying with us f-from now on?" I asked. Wow that's a stupid question.

"Pretty much." She stared at the TV. Silence has been taking a lot of places.

"So you h-have abusive p-parents?" She began to frown. Oh shit please don't cry. She unzipped her jacket and took it off, revealing several bruises and cuts on her arms.

"Does this answer your question?" I nodded. "First, I thought I had the best parents until they divorced and my mom takes her anger out on me. One time she even did this." She turned her back to me and put her shirt up a bit, revealing a stitch on her lower back where I think her kidney is at.

"You think t-that's bad, take a l-look at this." I put my mask down, revealing the gash where my father hit me with a vase that had a sharp end. She came closer to me and put her hand on it. I put my mask back up.

"What happened to that?"

"My father came home one day drunk and hit the beer bottle to my face. It actually torn my cheek, leaving this dent."

~~~~~Nikki's POV ~~~~~~

So I'm not alone. I finally met someone with this kind of fate. Is this why hes here.
