Continuation

LIGHTBULBS POV:

I check the path before I continue walking, it's clear. I hop over the fence and make my way to OJ's hotel. it sure was dark, there's no doubt everyone must be sleeping. A wave of relief brushed over me. Knowing I won't get caught just boosted my confidence.

*a few minutes later*

I finally reached the hotel. I knocked on the front door. OJ answered it.

"L-lightbulb? What are you doing here?!" Oj exclaimed.

"Heh heh, hey Oj, is Paintbrush here?" I said awkwardly.

"Of course. Paintbrush is right upstairs. in room 7." Oj said as he opened the door for me to come in.

"Thanks Oj." I walked inside as Oj closed the door behind me.

"Having Paintbrush withdrawal?" Oj said with a grin, leaning against the wall.

I was way too distracted by looking around the hotel. Oj could tell I had a nervous look on my face. I was sweaty and my eyes were red and tired. he could also tell that I've been crying for a good while now.

Oj got up and walked over to me.

"Hey, Lightbulb, what's the matter?" Oj said trying to comfort me.

"I- I...." I tried.

"Just say it" Said Oj

"I miss Painty, like REALLY miss them. And every time I try and close my eyes, they're all I can see. All I can think about. I don't know if I'm going crazy, but I don't think I can live without Paintbrush." I said without hesitating.

Oj looked at me for a few seconds in a concerned look. He put his hand on my shoulder and lifted my chin up to look at him.

"Lightbulb, hey, don't worry. You're here now. Paintbrush is right upstairs, I think they'd be really stocked to see you." Oj said.

I looked up right at Oj and a small smile planted on my face.

"Thanks a lot Oj. Really." I said as I gave Oj a quick hug.

He hugged me back and motioned up to room 7. Where paintbrush was staying.

I walked up the stairs and I was about to reach room 7, I heard a voice, it didn't sound like Painty's. It was much higher pitched. It sounded like giggling. At that moment, I barged in, without even thinking of knocking. The door was fully open and I couldn't believe it.

Paintbrush: "L-LIGHTBULB?!"

I saw Paintbrush and Match laying in bed together. It looked like they were....cuddling...

Lightbulb: "M-Match?!"

Match looked at me with a nervous grin.

"H-hey Lightbulb." She said.

Paintbrush got up from the bed and walked over to me.

"What's uhm, going on here?" I asked, hoping for an explanation.

"Well, uhm, you see, Match and I are..dating.." Paintbrush said as they lightly scratched their neck.

At that moment, I heard a little crack. It was my heart. Breaking into two. I came all the way this way to tell Paintbrush I wanted to be with them, and I found them with....MATCH! Oh please!...why did it have to be Match!!

"L-lightbulb? You okay?" Paintbrush said and they snapped me out of it.

"Uh I'm....yeah! Im fine. I'll just be leaving then." I said as I was about to grab for the doorknob.

"Here, I'll open it for you." Paintbrush said as they turned the knob right and let me outside. 

I did nothing but sigh as I walked out. I thought it'd be best to stay silent. Even though I was ready to start a fight.

I just walked back down the stairs as I heard Paintbrush's door close. I looked at the floor as I walked out. I saw OJ before I left but I didn't bother to say goodbye...

I couldn't believe it...
