(UNDER SERIOUS RECONSTRUCTION) Troubled Love(TicciMask)

Risky Friendship

Masky's POV

I woke up and Toby had gone, it was still dark out and I was trying to regain my focus. For some reason I felt strangely out of breath. I looked around the room and realized Hoody was next to me, a tight grip on my left arm and Jeff gripping my right arm. I looked in front of me and L.J. was holding me up against the wall. All three of them were panting, just like I was. Fear and concern fresh in their eyes, though I wasn't sure why.

Once I was able to completely focus on my surroundings, I noticed how beat up and damaged the room was. My pupils shrunk with terror, suddenly aware of what I had done. I'd blacked out again, and just as always, I went on another rampage. Or as Hoody calls them, 'episodes'. None of us really know what they are, they just...happen. I personally blame every single damned sickness that I have and shit like that but I know there's more to it. I just don't know what, yet, but I'll find it out someday.

Usually when these episodes occur, I get headaches or start a violent coughing fit and that signals me to take my pills. This time, nothing happened, there were no side effects, no warnings or signals, nothing to tell me what was coming. It just, happened, I guess. After looking around the completely trashed room, I noticed Toby sitting on the bed across the room from me. He looks pretty shaken up about something. I take a step forward causing no everyone in the room to tense, including Toby.

Toby was physically shaking as I walked up to him. Everyone else backed away from me or at least looked like they were monitoring my every move. The closer I got to Toby the more hostile he looked, I stopped about a foot away from him when I noticed the purplish/blue bruises that covered his neck. I stepped closer to him and reached out to touch the bruises. He flinched away from my touch and almost began crying.

"It's okay, Toby, I'm not going to hurt you, I said softly. Caressing the side of his face with my hand gently.

That's when his tears began to spill. He scooted back, away from me, trying to avoid me at all costs. I frowned and took off my mask. He seemed to relax a bit after that. Once again I reached out to him and this time touched the bruises. He flinched at my touch and began to shake again.

"What happened?" I asked, this time ignoring his shaking.

Toby froze and a look of pure hatred took over his features. His soft, curious hazel eyes now shown with burning hatred and fear. He smacked my hand away from his neck, the sound making everyone flinch. I watched the ticking boy shaking steadily, his anger evenly surging through his veins. Finally he snapped at me with a raspy voice, "You did this!"

I was taken aback by his sudden tone and the words that he spat out like venom. At first I didn't understand what made Toby think I did this to him. But then, it started to come back to me, all of it. My hands wrapping around Toby's throat. He was crying and screaming for me to stop! Stop! Why won't I just stop?! His face was starting to turn blue! Stop it! Somebody stop me! Please! Make me stop!

Toby's POV

I watched as Masky was pulled away from choking me to death by who I thought were his friends! I coughed and choked and cried as I watched Hoody and Jack, no, Jeff, try to contain him and pull him off. He ended up ramming the one on his left into a desk and the other one pushing him to the ground and kicking him so that he rolled to the edge of the bed. This wasn't Masky! It couldn't be!

After what seemed like an utterly useless effort to getting Masky to calm down, they managed to all get him held up against the wall. He still struggled but he wasn't yelling or really making any noise. He was silent, I didn't like it, not at all. His already expressionless mask made it all worse than it already was. He no longer looked human, and the way that he only flinched and jolted, not making any noise when Hoody shoved a vaccine right into the side of his neck, he didn't even act human anymore!

After the vaccine he seemed to fully relax and stop struggling, even slumping against the wall to keep himself up. He started panting and shook his head, looking around seemingly confused. The black holes for eyes in his mask landed on me, making me flinch. Then he stared walking towards me! Who does this asshole think he is?! He teases me! Confuses me! Makes me think he's going to do something pleasing and then chokes the shit out of me?! What asshole does that?! And why?! Why does my heart ache?

I snapped out of it when I saw Masky reaching out to touch me! I nearly froze and began crying right there and then. I'm scared of Masky! I'm scared of what he's going to do to me! What if I get raped again?! Or beaten? Or forgotten?! These thoughts jumbled up in my head forming what felt like a giant knot in my brain. That is until he took off his mask, revealing his eyes and saddened look. I froze letting a few tears fall down my face in streams. His hand reached out again to me, this time caressing my bruises from where his hands had laid minutes before.

"What happened?" He whispered to me.

Did he seriously not remember?! Was he not aware of the damage that he had caused? How could he ask me that?! Without thinking, I smacked his hand away from my neck hard, making everyone, including Masky, look at me. My raspy breathing picked up quickly and soon I lost all control over my temper.

"You did this!" I snapped angrily at him through raspy cuts in my voice in between. He looked taken aback and in full out awe. I growled at him and pushed him aside, storming out of the bedroom. I didn't take a chance at turning around to see his reaction before slamming the door shut. I ran out of the mansion and into the forest, okay wishing to find a good quiet place to relax and let everything go.
