You'll learn to love me. (Yandere! Masky x reader)

Chapter 28

"Hey, uh, you alright, (Y/n)?"

I don't know. Do I feel alright? Am I supposed to feel alright? I don't know how I should feel. I've been laying in my bed, staring up at my ceiling for I don't know how long. I haven't kept track of anything. I feel numb. Empty. Hollow. I can barely describe it. It's like my soul has been sucked from my body or something along those lines. I can hear everything around me, but I can't respond. Or can I? Maybe I just don't want to. I don't know. "Let me talk to her." I recognize the voice in an instant. Tim. Or, well, Masky. I'm not calling him Tim anymore. I don't want to. "Sunshine? Talk to me." I feel a hand caressing my cheek. I don't respond to his touch. I don't want to, anyway. I simply move my gaze to meet his eyes, to which he smiles. I don't know where his mask went, I didn't even see him taking it off. His eyes look so soft at the moment. As if he actually gives a shit about me. His smiles fades once he notices I don't respond. I can see a flicker of concern in his eyes. I know it's not his fault. Well, partly. I'm mostly blaming myself. Why? I don't know. Maybe I am the one to blame. I'm the one who didn't tell Dylan the truth. I'm the one defending a murderer. I'm the one who dragged everyone in my life into this. I'm worthless. A waste of air. A disappointment to humanity. I'm someone who allowed to let two people die, knowing I could do something about it. I can't even cry about it. It's like I'm completely dried out of tears. What can I do? Nothing. I'm just going to lay in bed until I finally perish and rot. I won't mind if someone kills me at this point. I would in fact thank them. There's nothing more I can live up to, really.

Masky lets out a sigh and backs away. "Look, she's just in a bad state now. Let her rest for a bit. She needs a moment alone." I heard Liu's voice explain. I cast a quick look to the side. Masky didn't like the idea of leaving me by myself, judging by his expression. But he knew it would be for the best. Without another word, he just left the room with a sigh. Liu followed soon after, but not before reassuringly patting my hand that was resting on top of my stomach. "Get some rest. It'll do you good." I heard his voice softly suggest before he leaves my room, shutting the door behind him. I wonder if we're all suddenly staying in my apartment together. I mean, it's my apartment, who gives them the right? But then again, I can't bring myself to care at this point. Maybe I should get some rest. Maybe I'll finally be able to communicate once I wake up. Who knows? I flip to my side and pull the covers over my body before fluttering my eyes close.

Liu's eyes flicker over to Masky for a few seconds before returning down to to his fingers, which were fidgeting with the rim of his jacket. "So, uh," Liu began. He lightly throws his head over the backrest of the couch, slightly staring up at the ceiling. "I need to be going." He blurts out firmly. Masky turns his attention over to Liu. With furrowed brows, he questions, "Go? Go where?" Liu nervously glances over his shoulder, briefly looking at the door of (Y/n)'s room. He bites the inside of his lip before returning to meet Masky's gaze. As much as he wanted to stay to see if she would be better, he had to leave. "Home." Liu states before adding, "My home, I mean." Masky pursed his lips and looked to the side. He didn't exactly despise having Liu around. He has been a big help for sure. And Masky surely would need his help again in the future. "If she gets any better, uh- emotionally- tell me, will you?" Liu stands up from the couch, fixing up the scarf around his neck. Masky clears his throat, unsure. "Yeah, sure. I'll do that." Masky lightly nods his head, staying put in his spot. Liu smiles lightly. "Good- good... Um, if you ever need my help, you know where to find me." Liu states. His voice sounds like he's uncomfortable, but most of all just sad to leave. Of course he had to, the cat needs to be fed by someone, right? Masky gives a quirk nod. "Yeah. I'll... I'll see you around." Masky replies. "Right. Uh, see you." With just that, Liu leaves the apartment. Masky hears the door shut before letting out a sigh and slumping down on the couch.
