[† Baldi X Female!Reader †]

Chapter 13- Back to School

Baldi walked through the door, bringing in the tray of food. "The doctors said you can be back at school by tomorrow!" He exclaimed excitedly.

You smiled. Back to school sounded great. But, you didn't want to deal with everyone right at the moment. You just wanted to spend time with Baldi. Catch up on what happened when you were out for that whole week. You thought about how miserable Baldi must have felt.

You sat up and took the tray, thanking Baldi. He left as you began to eat. Probably going to eat his lunch, you assumed.

You ate slowly, thinking about all the students who were happy to see you. Even the Bully seemed a bit caring that you were all right, and that's a good thing. You thought about poor Playtime. She must have been so lonely and had to ask The Principal or Baldi or even the Bully to play with her. You wouldn't be surprised if he cut her jump rope, the jerk.

You felt a wave of guilt eat you down. Playtime was a sweet, little girl that only wanted to play. She didn't understand the dangers Baldi's schoolhouse had and what was in it.

You finished eating and set the tray on the little table next to the bed. You lay your head on the pillow and slowly closed your eyes. A blank space of nothing surrounded you as you drifted into sleep.

You opened your eyes in your dream. Everything was black, outlined with white. You looked at your hands, outlined with white, colored in black. You looked up and began to walk around. You were in the schoolhouse. The lights were out and it was terrifyingly dark.

You heard a loud crash, a cry of pain. It came from a classroom down the hall. Panicked, you rushed down to solve the situation. You stopped at the door. Openeing it, your eyes gazed at the blood splattered on the walls. They slowly moved down to the tall body lying on the ground. It was Baldi.

"No!!" You cried, your voice echoing and glitching. You rushed over to him, crying into his chest.

You felt his chest rise slowly. You looked at him and saw his eyes were half lidded. "Oh, Y/N," he said, a shaking arm raised to pet your head softly. "I'm sorry."

Your eyes shot open and you sat up in the bed, panting. You looked around, seeing Baldi reading his math book, one leg drapped over his knee. He looked up with a smile. "Oh, morning, Y/N!"

You smiled back at him, glad the nightmare was just a dream. He stood up and walked over to you. "Come on," he said. "Let's get you up and out of bed."

You smiled and took his hand. He helped you out of bed. Your legs shook for a bit, but you got used to standing and began to take the first step. Baldi was still holding your hand as he slowly led you to the door. You finished, completely oblivious to the difficulty. You smiled up at Baldi and he smirked.

You went out to the room where the counter stood. You checked out with the clerk, Baldi's hand still locked with yours. He took the lead by a couple of steps and led you back to the schoolhouse.

You groaned jokingly. "Ugh, why are we going back to school?"

He chuckled. "Well, everyone wants to see you. And, you're not done learning basic maths. But, I suppose I will let you spend some time off."

You hugged Baldi tightly. "Oh, thank, God!" You exclaimed.

He chuckled, hugging you back and petying your back. "I love ya, Y/N," he said.

"I love you too," you smiled, walking into the doors of Baldi's Basics again.
