After Toby had dropped me and Lexi off at the house, I woke Lexi up and gave her a bath.
She didn't mind me waking her, surprisingly.
Lexi was sitting in the bath water, playing with her toys while I was washing her hair.
"Honey, your hair is getting so long." I said, smiling warmly. Her hair was a very dark brown, darker than mine, and it reached her waist.
But every time I look at her hair, it makes me think of him. And I get so pissed off.
"I know mommy! I'm like a princess!" Lexi exclaimed.
"You sure are!" I said, rinsing the conditioner out of her hair. It was a no-tear conditioner, so I didn't have to tell her to close her eyes or anything.
"Mommy... Tommy says that my daddy's name is Jeff, an' dat he always smiles." She innocently told me. My eyes widened.
"Who's Tommy?" I choked out, my heart beating a million miles per hour.
"Tommy is my other friend! Slendy said he can't be my friend 'till you're done wiff your mission!" Lexi said, as I helped her out of the tub.
"Can I meet Tommy?" I asked, before drying her off with her favorite towel.
"He only comes at night, but you can catch him, I tink!" Lexi said.
I sighed softly and put her Bubble Guppies pajamas on, then started to brush her hair. It wasnt tangled or anything, the brush went right through each strand.
When I was finished, I lifted her up to the sink, where her singing toothbrush was sitting, along with toothpaste. Since I already taught her how to brush her teeth, she didn't really need my help except for me holding her up.
She told me she was done, so I took Lexi to her room.
"Mommy's gonna sleep with you tonight, okay?" I said as I laid her down.
"Okay, mommy." Lexi yawned. I kissed her forehead softly, then climbed in bed next to her.
Lexi immediately fell asleep, but I stayed wide awake.

"Pst! Pipsqueak, wake up!"
I opened my eyes, to see a guy dressed in all black, and one of his eyes were totally white. His lips looked like they used to be stitched, but he ripped them apart.
"Pip--" He noticed me and his eyes widened a bit."Twitchy?!"
"Don't call me that!" I felt my head twitch to the side, just like Toby's."Shit!"
I climbed over my daughter and tackled him.
"YOU MADE MY TWITCH COME BACK YOU ASSHOLE!"
"It probably never went away! How's it possible for it to just disappear?"
"It did for the longest time, since I forgot about it, just like I forgot about all of you!" I snarled, smacking him in the face.
"Hey, hey! Calm down, Twitchy! Damn!" He pushed me off of him. I twitched and glare at him.
"Why are you telling my daughter about my past!?" I loudly asked. He put a finger to his lips, then pointed to my daughter. She was moving a bit."Oh.. Fine, come with me."
I led the bastard to the living room. We both sat on the couch, me twitching as we did.
"Now answer my question." I crossed my arms.
"I told your daughter about your past because she deserves to know. Duhh." Tommy simply said, rolling his eye. Maybe he was rolling the white one too, but I couldn't tell.
"No, actually, she doesn't need to know," I spat."I'm trying to forget about you guys, dammit. She doesn't need this shit in her life!"
I received another eye roll from Tommy as he stood up and walked into the kitchen. I watched him grab a pack of Gushers, then plop back down next to me like this was his own house. I rolled my eyes, huffing.
"You can't run away from us." He said, shoving a blue gusher into his mouth."We'll haunt you forever, Twitchy."
I stared at him, realizing he was right. No matter what I do, they'll find me.
A sigh came from my mouth as I twitched."After I do this mission for the bastard, I'm done with all of you. Come to my house all you want. All I'm gonna do is pretend you aren't here."
Tommy's white eyebrows went up (he has white hair, although he's young). He threw his Gushers pack on the ground and mumbled a "only five in a pack.. What the hell!"
He then sighed and stood up.
"Well, sorry to bother. I'll see you tomorrow, Brooke." Tommy waved, then walked to my door and left.
I looked down after twitching, thinking about Toby.
