The Boy Who Drowned [ BEN Drowned Love Story ]

Chapter 15 - Lillian Dissolves.

"He does?" I ask quietly. Hoodie nods very quickly, and I start to walk back towards the door.

"Don't leave, please, I'm sorry!" he shouts, it's the first time I've heard him shout... I turn and shake my head.

"I'm leaving because I cause the conflict here. I'd be better off killing alone, anyways," I mumble, and I slam the door. Leaving Hoodie standing there as if he just saw a ghost.

~Hoodie's POV~

She left. She actually left. This will for sure upset the whole household, and Slendy will be so pissed at Masky and Toby. BEN will be understood, it's his first real love, and Slendy would release him. Masky and Toby caused this, they'll fix it too. I run downstairs and everyone is staring at me already. Masky was eating cheesecake in the kitchen, BEN was playing video games with Jack, and LJ was just watching them play. I assume Sally was in her room playing with dolls or something.

"Guys, gather around before Slendy comes," I mumble, they all nod and quickly form a circle. I sit in the middle.

"Did you see Lillian leave?" I ask quietly. They all nod.

"Where'd she say she was going?" everyone remains quiet and Masky and Toby look like they're about to throw up.

"Killing," BEN says finally. I shake my head and stand.

"She's leaving because she's leaving us. Since I let a secret slip, she freaked out and thought she was the cause of conflict here," Masky and Toby freeze, and the rest of them start to stir.

"Calm down, we can go look for her. I'll pair you guys up. BEN and LJ..." I mumble, BEN and LJ both groan, and I laugh a bit.

"Masky and Toby," they both nod, and scoot together.

"Jack, you can come with me," I whisper. He nods and walks over to me. We all walk outside on the search for the dearest Lillian everyone loves.

~Masky's POV~

She..she left. Left me, left Toby. We didn't even stand a chance against BEN. She probably hates us. What did I get myself into?

"Let's go, T-Tim. She probably went t-this way," Toby says, pointing to the abandoned fairgrounds. I know, she used to go there as a child. I chuckled. We begin to walk there, and stop and see something on the ground. It's a piece of cloth from Lillian's beautiful baby blue dress. I frown, seeing that she did indeed go to the abandoned fairgrounds. We approach the entrance, and the rides are all runned down. Toby and I both notice there's a light on in the funhouse, we run over to it, and walk inside. We topple through the obstacles, and we reach a mirror maze. Toby and I seperate, he gets lost and I run up to find a woman sitting in the corner, crying. I kneel down and tap her shoulder. Her sniffles stop, and she turns to see me.

"I'm sorry that I can't love you back like that," she whispers. I shake my head.

"It's fine. I don't care. Toby! I found her!" I shout. I hear a thump.

"I'm lost in this d-damn maze, T-Tim!" he shouts, and we both smile.

"Can I just ask one thing of you, Lilly?" I whisper, and she nods.

"I just want one kiss from you," she stops smiling. We remain staring at eachother without smiles, I lift my mask and the instant I do, she tackles me pinning me to the ground. She raises a fist.

"I can't! I can't! You're horrible! You don't love me! You want me for my body!" she shouts, and she screams and begins to beat me. I begin to holler Toby's name and for Lillian to stop but she doesn't...

"You monster! You're ruining my life!" she shouts in insanity, she raises my mask off my face to find a very beaten man. Her crazy eyes vanish, and she stares at me realizing what she has done. I couldn't fight back, I love her and I can't hit a woman.

"O-Oh my god.." she whispers, getting off of me.

"You're not the monster!" she shouts, crawling back to her corner.

"I am..."
