Masky's P.O.V:
"Tim? Tim, are you awake?" My eyes fluttered open, I was in a dark room, a small silhouette just in front on me, leaning on the bed.
"Wha'?" I mumble sleepily, they shook my arm frantically,
"Come on! Come on! You're gonna miss it if you lie in all day!" I groaned, sitting up and rubbing my forehead, I could feel a headache coming on.
"Miss what?" A hand slipped into mine and dragged me towards the window of our small apartment, drawing open the curtains.
"It's snowing!" The light fell on his face and I jumped back.
"Jay?" I asked in disbelief. Said male laughed,
"Who were you expecting? Jessica or Amy?" I couldn't help but smile...
"B-But what about... Toby?" His brows furrowed,
"Who? Were you having another bad dream again?" I shook my head,
"Never mind... I'm just glad you're okay." He raised an eyebrow,
"Of course I'm okay. Stop worrying, right?" He cupped my cheeks, "Now c'mon. We're going to the park with Brian and Alex, okay?" I nodded,
"Just let me get my coffee." I walked out into the pitch black hallway, but I wasn't in the living room anymore. It was all dark. The only thing that stood out was a slip of paper pinned up to nothing. I ripped it down and read it.
You wanted control over your life? Well, you choose.
When I looked up, two males stood in what looked like containers, one slightly bigger than the other. Both had brown hair and tired eyes, I recognized them immediately... Then my eyes caught hold of the third man, blondish brownish hair, silver framed glasses. Oh, fuck... No... I blinked, hoping for it all to go away... It got worse... Toby's container filled with fire, he screamed, screamed like he could feel it... Jay was looking down the barrel of Alex's gun... No. No. No! I crumpled, slamming my fists into the ground, tears slipping down my face.
Choose the innocent.
Choose or they both die.
You'll die too.
We've all done wrong.
Why can't it all just end?
Easy, let them both die, you'll go to.
No let them live.
Take me.
Please.
Why won't you let them live?
Why won't you let me go?
"I... I choose... Toby..." I whispered. A gunshot rang out into the everlasting silence and the flames died down. Slowly raising my head, the awkward teen fell to the floor,
"You..." I ran to him, about to help him up. He slapped my hands away, "You fucking asshole..." My eyes widened,
"W-What?"
"You let an innocent man die..." Tears spurted afresh down my cheeks. "That's the second chance you had to save him and you let him die!" A small cough caught my attention, Jay was slumped against the wall, holding his side.
"All..." He struggled for breath, struggled to hold on, "All your fault..." My face creased, "All your fault..."
The phrase echoed in my mind until I woke up in a cold sweat. My face was drenched in hot tears... It's times like this I wish I hadn't argued with Hoodie... I needed comfort... Pulling on my clothes, I walked out of my door, bumping into said 'friend'.
"Oh." I grumbled, he stared at me for a few seconds, mask and hoodie in hand, before smirking and walking into his room. I opened the door to Toby's room and saw him lying on his bed, face pink. A pang of anger and jealousy hit in my stomach, did Hoodie... Toby's eyes trailed over to me, he jumped up
"O-Oh... H-Hey, Tim...- Masky!" He exclaimed, correcting himself. Something about the way he said my name just made me melt... I pulled off my mask to reveal bloodshot eyes, he gasped, making his way towards me. "W-What's wrong?! He questioned, running a hand over my cheek. I shivered.
"I just... I needed to see you. I felt like if I didn't... Something bad would happen." He nodded,
"I know the feeling..." He bit his lip, silently debating on something. "...I-" Toby cut himself off, shaking his head, "Never mind..."
A/N: Hello everybody, so... I have a plan, that I still want to continue. You're probably going to be mad about this but... I won't be updating for the next... Eleven days. Okay, okay! Drop the pitchforks... Hey, hey you! Yeah, I see ya! Get rid of the chainsaw! *Clears throat* Anyway, I'll explain. I wanted to do a very special Christmas chapter, as a present for all of yous'. It'll be waaaaay longer than my chapters usually are, and I hope you'll enjoy it. These eleven days will be used for writing, spell-checking, grammar checking and repeat. It will be uploaded on Christmas, so it saves me updating so close to my birthday since I have a few family problems which prevents me from constant updates. Sorry if some of you don't celebrate Christmas... (But my birthday's on the 21st, just so you know ;) ) I hope that everyone will enjoy this chapter, and I don't really have to worry about deadlines, as I have at least three assessments in my classes at school. Peace off!
