Empty Promises (Bloody Painter x Reader) [ORIGINAL]

Chapter 9- Fights

We ran as fast as we could, as far as we could. What that man said, it still runs fresh in my mind...

-flashback-

"COME ON HOODED GUY! SHOW YOUR FACE!! WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME?!"

-flashback over-

What did he mean 'why are you doing this'? What was he doing to that man? What is he not telling me?

"(Y/n)? A-are you ok?"

"Huh? sorry?" I ask, snapping out of my trance

"You seemed to have zoned out for a sec there. What were you think about?"

"I-I don't think I should tell you." I say, looking down at my now bare feet.

"You know you can tell me everything."

"B-but-"

"No buts! come on, won't you tell me?" I could tell he was trying to do puppy dog eyes under his mask, I giggled a little, earning a smile from him.

"Now will you tell me?"

"P-promise not to get angry at me?"

"N-no I wont."

"What did that man mean back there, the guy after you?"

"Wh-what?!"

"Well, he was s-saying, well asking, why you were doing this to him. What is 'this'?" I ask him.

"Why do you wanna know so bad huh?!"

"Calm down Hoodie!"

"Calm down?! I already told you that I can't talk about it, yet you want me to talk about it anyway!"

"No I didn't mean it li-"

"No! Save what little breath you have left. You will be lucky if you ever see me again." he spat then ran off. I wanted to run after him, but I knew that would make it worse, so I just yelled two simple words at him

"EMPTY PROMISES!!" I broke down crying, my best friend, just broke a huge promise. suddenly I felt a soft hand on my shoulder, I tensed up at the touch of it. I slowly followed the hand, up the arm, to see him. Helen.

"H-Helen?"

"(Y-y/n)"

"What are you doing here? Oh, right, you want me to give back 'your love' don't you?" I say, annoyed tone in my voice.

"I have found her." he picked me up to my feet, held my waist and pulled me close. "I was so worried (y/n). What I said to Angel, I only said to calm her, make her less angry and sad. I love you (y/n)."

"Still? After all I have done? I abandoned you for almost a year."

"More the reason I wanted to find you."

"(Y/n?)" I looked behind me, Hoodie had come back.

"Hoodie?"

"I-Is this Helen?"

"Yea."

"O-ok." I got out of Helen grip and hugged Hoodie "I was so worried Hoodie. I-I'm sorry! I shouldn't have asked."

"It's ok, I broke the promise, and that was bad."

"Who is this (y/n)?"

"Ooh, Helen, this is Hoodie. Hoodie, this is Helen."

"No I got his name was Hoodie. Who is he to you (y/n)?!"

"B-best friend."

"Oh. S-sorry."

"It's ok. I've been gone so long, I wouldn't blame you to get first impressions."

"N-Nice to meet you H-Helen." stuttered Hoodie, but staying close to me, as if protecting me in some way.

"And to you Hoodie." He held out his hand for me to take, but I stayed next to Hoodie. At least I know I can trust him. "(Y/n)?"

"I-I don't know if I can trust you again Helen. But I know that I can trust Hoodie."

"What do you mean you don't trust me?! Do you not love me anymore?!"

"I do it's just-"

"Just what (y/n)?"

"Leave her alone Helen!" yelled Hoodie "let her take her time! we have all been through a lot, and I think she was the one hit hard."

"Why are you caring so much? You have nothing to do with us!"

"I do have something to do with you actually! Im the one who made sure that she didn't get hurt! That she wasn't sad or lonely!"

"You have been through NOTHING compared to us!"

"IVE BEEN THROUGH MORE THAN YOU COULD EVER HOPE TO KNOW!"

"BULLSHIT."

Hoodie looked at me, then back at Helen, before running at him, tackling him to the ground and repeatedly punched him in the face.

"HOODIE STOP PLEASE" I run, crying and trying to get Hoodie off of him, but to no avail.

"You will never understand." coughed Helen, spitting out some blood.

"I understand more than you think."

~HELEN POV~

"I understand more than you think." He said, looking down at me.

"You have no idea what it is like to love a girl like (y/n)" I spat more blood.

"I do know actually, because I love her." Thats when it all went black.
