Fuck...

I groaned and held my head, rubbing my temples to soothe the resonating pain that I was subsequently feeling. It only grew worse so I just stopped as a whole and rolled over on my back. It was a new day and Silver's birthday was over until next year.

As much as I hated parties, celebrations, and pretty much any social events, I couldn't be a douche on my best friend's birthday. I do have some regrets though, because things got out of hand very fast.

Ben got completely wasted and started texting a bunch of weird shit to the other Creepypastas as well as hacking their phones. Sonic ran off somewhere, muttering something about a Proxy and Jeff, whatever those meant. Dark Link isolated himself for the remainder of the evening and kept his eyes blindfolded until we got back home so that he apparently "wouldn't look at any girls." Silver passed out from eating too much of Masky's homemade cheesecake and was knocked out beyond return.

Pretty sure the dude laced it with some weird euphoria shit.

And of course, the only rational and smart person had to haul major ass by dragging everyone home the fastest but most painful way possible. Because of that, I was in major pain this morning.

I overworked my glitching just a tad bit too much.

But even a little bit had major consequences.

I looked down at my body to see if there was anything wrong when I saw it. My legs were mostly coding and as I looked at it, my headache started to grow worse.

I growled and doubled over in pain, accidentally rolling right out of the bed I was in. I groaned and held myself, the pain almost unbearable.

Wait... Bed...?

I never slept in a bed when I was in the mansion. I sat up quickly and looked around frantically. My panic subsided when I realized that it was just my original room. The wallpaper was a striped red and black. The bed sheets were red and the floor was a fuzzy creme carpet.

I sighed quietly and stood up, gripping the bed sheets for support. "I don't wanna be in here..." I muttered and started limping towards the closet. I took out a hoodie and slid it over my shirt. I didn't have any pants that were appropriate for going outside in, so I decided to go borrow some.

I need to get soap for showering so I have to go outside anyway.

Silver should be next door then.

I walked out of my room and was about to turn the doorknob to Silver's room when I heard voices down the hall. Usually I wouldn't care, but something was a little off.

Wait...

He's not controlling me?

Holy shit!

I blinked and my hand left the door as I made my way down the hall. I stood at the end of the corner and listened to what was going on, making sure that it wasn't anything bad.

"Zalgo, give it back please! I want Mr. Death back!" I heard Sally whining and I peeked to see what was happening. She was trying to get her bear back from Zalgo the Douche, who had a cocky smirk on his face.

"You're pathetic without that clown with you, huh? What would dear old Slenderman say to you peeking into my room without permission, hm? You don't want Daddy to punish you, do you?" Zalgo laughed and continued to mess with her, holding the bear too far from her reach.

"I-I just wanted to invite you to my tea party... b-because I know you wake up early..." Sally whimpered, tears forming in the corners of her eyes.

"Tea party? What are you? A toddler? Tch, why don't I punish you instead of Slenderman, Sally~?" He grabbed the color of her little dress and lifted her up. Sally let out a cry as he started roaming his hands over her skin and I clenched my teeth.

"You piece of shit!" I yelled and came from around the corner quickly. I charged at him and tackled him to the floor with a loud growl. Zalgo let everything his hands drop and I held him down to the floor.

Sally stumbled back and her eyes were wide. She grabbed her bear and hugged it tightly, tears of blood pouring down her cheeks.

Zalgo scoffed and threw a punch that hit me square in the jaw. I cursed and let him go on accident. "What can you do against me, Glitch?" He mused with a smirk.

I was about to retort when his body flew back into the wall all the way down the hall. I looked over at Sally, who had her hand up. Her eyes were still wide and she looked traumatized.

Does she have PTSD...?

"Thanks Sally... Sorry I couldn't help you, but are you okay?" I asked softly and was about to touch her when she suddenly disappeared out of nowhere.

I let out a sigh and got up, making my way back around the corner. "Of course, I try to save the day and everything goes wrong..." I muttered and pushed open the door to Silver's room.

"Hey, morning dude—" I paused when I saw Silver still passed out on his bed. "Yo..." I quickly walked over and gently shook him awake with a concerned look on my face. "Mmh... Huh?!" His eyes shot open and he squirmed around on the bed in confusion.

I laughed softly and sat him up. "Hey. Did you sleep well?" I sat down on his bed and ruffled his messy bed head. Silver blushed a bit and nodded with a small smile. "Y-Yeah... Thanks for helping me out last night."

"Speaking of," I held up my hand and gave him a small smack on the head, "That's for making my leg disappear. I need to borrow a pair of your pants." He rolled around in the bed crying and I smiled more.

"Meanie... They're in the drawer..." Silver mumbled quietly and nodded towards the drawer with a hat on top of it. I got off the bed and walked over to the dresser, pulling the drawer open and grabbing the first pair I saw.

Black joggers, cool.

"Thanks. See ya bud!" I waved him off and walked out the door, his voice yelling back at me and causing me to laugh.

"You big jerkkkk! You're so mean to me Red!"
