Meanwhile...

Chapter 8

* Cuphead's POV

          I laid in Bendy's bed as he laid on an air mattress on the floor. He seemed to be just laying there but I could be wrong. I soon felt tired ..

(2 hours later)
 
     I woke up to a strange sound I look over at the air mattress and Bendy wasn't there. I look at the bathroom seeing the door ajar. I got out of bed and slowly approach the door. I hide on the side so that I wouldn't be seen. I stopped as I heard soft, quiet singing.

The same singing that I heard in the woods!

    I got curious as I heard him continue. I stayed by the door trying to listen more. It sounded as if he was crying as well. I heard sharp exhales and saw his arm moving back and forth as if he were playing an instrument. I saw him finally stop putting down what seemed to be a knife. My heart sank. I see him start to turn around. I panicked, ran, and jumped straight into bed. Making it look like I was asleep. That night no matter how hard I tried I could never get his cries out of my head.....

    As I heard him finally fall asleep. I began to think to myself. Why do I hate him? I honestly don't have any good reason. I barely even know him. Maybe I should get to know him. I can see if he's good enough to hang around, but I do wonder what he was doing in the bathroom.....

      I checked to see if Bendy was still asleep then I proceeded to the bathroom. I closed and locked the door behind me. I start going through the drawers. I searched through most of them an found nothing. I was about to give up, thinking I was mistaken. I looked up seeing that the mirror doubled as a medicine cabinet. I then opened the medicine cabinet finding a little box cutter behind bottles of  medications. I felt my stomach sink further as I took a closer look at it. It was bloody... I ran out the bathroom quietly entering the room.

      I tiptoed over to Bendy and saw his hand laying next to him. I was curious so I slowly pulled the cover a bit, showing his wrist. My eyes widened as I pulled the cover back more seeing his arms covered in cuts some freshly made and some even still bleeding. He had large bruises on his arms and neck from me.... I felt sick. In the position he was sleeping in his shirt was lifted a bit. Enough for me to see a large bruise covering his side. I did that.....
     
        I reached my hand out to him just as his eyes snapped open. He looked terrified as if I was going to hurt him. He backed
up against the wall as I saw tears begin to form in his eyes. He pushed past me reaching the bathroom and locked the door.
I ran up to the bathroom door. I knocked on the door hearing him squeak out of fear.
       

     I knocked again as I tried to reason with him.

I f*cked up big-time...

*Bendy's POV

         On the other side of this door is Cuphead waiting for a chance to ambush me. I start breathing heavy.

Shit! Shit! Shit! I'm f*cked if I go back out there! Maybe I deserve it.........

      I begin to cough. It started to get worse because the next thing I knew I began to throw up ink. I covered my mouth coughing more.

I couldn't breathe anymore....
      

* Cuphead's POV

      

       I heard coughing on the other side of the door. I got worried trying to talk to him through the door. I received no response back. I was really starting to get scared now. I ran to his brother's room and bang on the door asking for his help.    

         He came out and asked me what was going on. I told him the situation and his face fell. This scared me more as Boris, Mugman and I ran back to the bathroom. I thought I was scared when I heard coughing and vomiting before. I found out quickly that what scared me more was

When it stopped.
