(Ej's P.O.V)

     I finnished the kidney, and wiped the blood off my face. I had gotten my sight back, kinda. I sat on my bed starring at my ceiling for, about 1 minute before i got up. I opened my door, and slowly made it to Tobys room. I knocked on his door. I heard a noise from the other side then the door slowly opened. My vision was dark, but Tobys eyes looked redish, like he'd been crying. He had his mask on now.

"Um hey, you you wanted to talk?"

"O-oh yeah. C-ome i-in." Toby opened the door and let me in. I sat on his bed. The room was decorated with posters about, well everything.

"So you said you wanted to get to know me. So, what do you want to know?"

Toby wipped his eye slightly, and looked at me. He was messing with his thumbs. He took a breath and started to talk.

" I d-dont know. You just seem-m like a cool guy, a-and i know we have nev-never talked much. I do have on-one curiosity though. Why do you ea-t-t-t-" Toby stopped and twitched really hard, it looked like it hurt but i know he couldn't feel pain, "kidneys" he finnally got out.

"Thanks, i guess, i don't really talk to anyone thats why. But i eat kidneys because-" i couldn't think of a way to put this lightly. " I was used in a ritual, some stupid assholes that used me for a fucking cult ritual. They took my eyes, and now these demons live in me. I have to eat kidneys to keep them happy, and to see. If it wasn't for those FUCKING-"
    I stopped. I was getting angry, and i could feel the black, bloody, tar like goop coming from my eyes. My teeth were showing, and i could feel my nails digging into my hand. I looked up at Toby. His eyes were open wide, and he had scooted back up his bed a bit. His hands were gripping the blanket tight. I stopped gridding my teeth, and i closed my mouth.

"Toby-" I reached my hand out, and he flinched and moved away from me, "im sorry, this is why i don't talk to people. Everyones scared of me."
    I got up and started to walk out. As i went to close the door i looked at Toby, still looking scared, and looking at me. I closed the door and went to my room. Fuck. This is why i have no fucking friends here.

(Tobys P.O.V)

    I sat there, dumbfounded. Why did i just fucking sit there?! I thought... I thought Jack may have hurt me. No, what am i thinking? Yeah he was angry, but who wouldn't be? Jack wouldn't hurt me. I just, his face, and that black liquid, and his story- he just...scared me. I should've said something, ANYTHING...but no... i just fucking sat there and moved away from him. Now he probably thinks im scared of him, and i don't want to talk to him, and- and...why do i care? Its not like we were close. But i mean, i wanted to be...ugh i fucking hate myself. I grabbed my mask, my face was red, and i felt like crying. I took in some deep breaths. I should...no i NEED to talk to him. He needs someone, he just locks everything up.
     I got up slowly. I opened my door, and walked towards Jacks room. I went to knock, and stopped. I took a deep breath, and listened. He was doing something, breathing hard? Wait, was he hyperventilating??

(Ej's P.O.V)

      I sat on my bed, black tar pouring from my eyes. I was crying, i couldn't control it. I has shaking violently, and couldn't stop. I was fucking hyperventilating. I shouldn't talk to anyone. I fucking scare anyone who i talk to. Nobody wants to talk to me. And of corse the fucking demons come and decide its a PERFECT time to yell in my head.

"Jackies having a hard time? Boohoo"

"Stop being mean, hes letting his emotions out finally!"

"Jackie, you shouldn't bottle it all up"

I had enough-
"STOP NOW." I growled, my voice getting super deep.
     I had both my gripping my hair on the back of my head. I fucking hate my life dammit. I thought i heard something on the other side of the door, and ignored it. Then about 30 seconds later, Toby came in my room, shutting my door, and starring at my worthless body, shaking violently sitting on my bed. I quickly looked at him, and grabbed my face. I turned  my head. But to my surprise, he...hugged me.
      I was still shaking, but Toby hugging me helped. I looked at him, and he sat next to me on my bed. He started crying, and saying how sorry he was for just starring at me. He said something about how he was scared, but he knew i wouldn't help him, and that he was sorry for making me hyperventilate. I just grabbed his cheek with my shaking hand, and then hugged him. We sat there for a good 10 minutes. My Black ooze had gone all over his, and my shirt, but i don't think he cared that much.
