(Toby's point of view)

She flung herself on me and....kissed me. She kissed.....me? The last time this happened it nearly killed her. She seemed so upset before. She broke away from the kiss and leaned into me. I embraced her, unsure of what else to do. She holds onto me and cries slightly.

"Toby." She says? "I'm so sorry. I didn't want you to know. Not like this. Now you know why I can't be with you." She cries.

"Ssshh Ella, its okay. I understand." I say.

She sobs into my shoulder.

"And thats why I'm going to protect you. We can just be friends if thats what you want. I'll be here for you ok? I know your strong. You'd have to be, to go through what you do. But I'll be here. If you need a friend then thats what I'll be. I'll be your foundation. I'll be the handle to your hatchet."

She looks up at me with watery eyes. "Thank you." She whispers.

She leans back into me and we embrace a while longer. Things are gonna be a little bit awkweird between us now.

There is just something about her. I didn't notice until now. When I'm with her.

I don't twitch.

                      §§§

Its been a few days since I slipped up. Slenderman was upset but let it slide. It's been weird around Ariella. Ben and Laughing Jack watch me like a damn hawk. It's annoying really.

Twitch.

When I first came back, Ariella had to keep them from pouncing on me. They didn't like my feelings for her.

Ben and Jeff were playing Super Smash Brothers Brawl on the Wii in the living room. Laughing Jack and Eyeless Jack are fighting as usual. Masky and hoodie are eating cheesecake. Smile is outside.

I go out to look for him and instead find Ariella. She is sitting in a tree. She's like 20 feet up. I look at her and smile. She looks at me and motions for me to come up. I start climbing and sit on a branch next to her.

"Look at the sky. Isn't it wonderful?" She asks.

It's nearly dark. The Sun is setting, turning the sky into an array of orange and purples.

"Wow." I say.

"It is very pretty, but I prefer the moon." She says.

"Really?" I ask, "So do I."

She looks at me and blushes slightly. She is so cute when she blushes.

"Toby."

"Hmm?" I ask.

"I don't want things to be awkward anymore. So let's hang out. Tomorrow we can go get pizza or something. I want to know you. Then....maybe....we can try....to....be more. I just don't want to get too close, and then you lose me because of this." She says.

I give her a soft smile.

"Ok that sounds great." I say.

We sit in the tree for a long time. Then out of no where LJ poofs in between us. Well when he did that I fell off the branch and landed on the ground. Ariella was screaming at LJ. She flashed down here and kept asking if I was ok. I keep having to remind her that I can't feel pain.
