Guilt (Brim)

The ombre sunrise that on any other given day would have calmed Tim a little, today was different. His eyes hurt, his head was pounding and the more he sat on the ground outside his car the more the guilt began to build up more and more. Guilt was a horrible thing, how was he supposed to know that the hooded figure that had been teasing him for years to be his forgotten college friend, Brian Thomas.

Exactly, he wasn't.

He didn't mean for things to go as far as they did, he also didn't know how he even managed to get back to his car after the incident at Benedict. But he was defending himself. He needed the pills. The pills that was now propped up on the car's dash board. Along with that dreadful mask that had ruined his life, torn it into shreds he would describe it. His hands on the steering wheel, shaking like leaves.

He also looked over at the camera. Jay's camera...

Recording. The light on the side beeping every so often. The more he stared the more he began to loose it, his vision becoming spotty and he couldn't keep his head up. This happened from time to time but it never felt as bad as it did right now. It was build into him, like eating, breathing, walking. Turning the camera had just become an unconscious action. He didn't need to tell himself to turn it on, let alone hit record. But maybe that was the problem...

But that was very unlikely. He had an idea of what...whatever it was that followed him since childhood. He had an idea of why it was here. Why it chose him, tormented him. But it's not like anyone was left to hear out what he had to say.

He had put a knife in the throat of Alex Kralie's neck.

The last he saw of Jay Merrick was him laying lifeless, hand to his side trying to apply pressure to a bullet wound that caused him to bleed out.

And he had pushed his only friend off of a ledge as an 'act of self defence' as he would argue.

How would he have known?

How would he have known that it was Brian under the mask of the hooded figure that had been damaging his mental health for all this time? Then again....

He could guess that Brian would have been similar to him, waking up in random places, spotty memories, not remembering how he got there...

He didn't blame Brian. He blamed himself. But most of all he blamed the 'Operator' as he had seen Jay's fanbase call it. He liked the ring of it though.

Timothy turned the camera to face the sunrise, getting up off of the grass and opening the passenger side door, grabbing the pill bottle on top of the dash as he slammed the door closed again, the car shaking a little. He figured the pills would help, they did normally. They done their job, they numbed the pain. Slipping out two of the white pills as he closed it, shoving it in his pocket as he sat down and popped them into his mouth, swallowing them almost in an instant.

Though out the corner of brown eyes, however, he could have thrown them back up...

Out the corner of his eye, he noticed the same damn yellow hoodie. But let feeling of happiness built up a little deep down. Glad, the guilt lifted off his shoulders a little. Just a little. Tim couldn't take his eyes off of the figure that he now knew was Brian, he wanted to believe he was there but he couldn't stop himself from thinking...

What if?

What if this was all some cruel joke his mind was playing on him? What if it was all some horrible dream he couldn't seem to wake up from no matter how much he tossed and turned. It hurt to think about that. He didn't do it often for that reason, though. He would prefer if this was all a bad dream that he was still to wake from. A coma maybe...

But this was real, this was extremely real. And he had to live with the burdens.

Tim stayed still. Afraid if he moved the other man would just disappear. But luckily for Tim, he didn't have to. By the time Tim had collected his thoughts, Brian had emerged from his spot inbetween the woods. It was like a dream and a nightmare, Tim couldn't decided if that was a good or a bad thing. The closer the other got to the man, the more overwhelmed Tim began to feel. He had killed Brian. He didn't understand. He shouldn't be here. Not anymore...

Brian approached the other cautiously, his left hand sticking out towards the other man on the ground as his right was on his mask, ready to take it off at any minute, lifting it above his mouth and nose so he would be heard once he spoke. A clear nose bleed from where he fell and his back hurt like Hell but he had managed to track the other down, just as simple as it always had been. He knew Tim for a while now, he was predictable. It brought a half smile to his face as he thought about it.

Once Tim had snapped out of his little trance he jumped up to his feet in a panic, pointing a finger at the other as his hand shook.  A loss for words as he furrowed his eyebrows, noticing the obvious smirk.

"B-Brian...?" He questioned. It was rhetorical. He didn't want, nor expect, an answer from Brian. He received no reply either, somewhat glad about that as he kept his hand up as he continued to speak. "You-you're alive?"

All he got was a simple nod. Eventually, his hand falling to his side as he refused to take his eyes off of the brunette. He watched him open up his arms, a goofy smile on Brian's face as he stood a few feet away from the shaking Tim.

Asking for a hug...

And Tim collapsed...

He realised something at that moment though, as his grip on the other got tighter, using the other as support as he stood there.

It this was a dream...

He didn't want to wake up.

Hey guys! So I've come up with a schedule that helps so here it is!

I'll most likely be updating on the weekends or Wednesday. I'm trying to improve my writing but I feel like if I do it every day I will drive myself insane so instead I'm going to be doing small bits and pieces.

As for roleplays, I mostly get my inspiration from my roleplays, as to why I was asking for people to roleplay with. If that makes sense.

I'm either updating this book between Friday-Sunday and Wednesday and I'll be making another book with some idea's or half written one shots from different fandoms if that interests anyone! That will also be out sometime this weekend.

But anyway! This is it for now. Have a nice night!
