How Did It End Up Like This? //Hex x Whitty//

2.

Whitty wasn't performing today so I decided I was going to do something productive.

Or productive in my eyes. My fake eyes. That's not the point.

Okay the point is I'm going to go see a movie. At the movie theatre. 'Secret Life Of Pets'. I've been waiting to see this movie for a while so I am pretty excited. I don't care if it's a children's movie. 

I go to the ticket booth, to pay for a ticket, only to realize that I don't have enough money. It's pretty pathetic really. So, at this moment in time, I'm awkwardly standing there while the ticket booth guy, blabbers to me.

"You should know if you have enough money! What a ridiculous excuse!"

 Inside, I feel like I'm going to self-destruct from all this embarrassment I'm feeling. I look down at my shoes in shame.

"You were just trying to run in! You disgust me!"

A stranger decides that this is a good time to tap me gently on the shoulder. I freeze, only to realize that this person, however, is not a stranger. 

Whitty.

Just great! I was just trying to view a movie of my personal choice. I really did not want to be made fun of, just because I wanted to watch a kid's movie. 

And yes, it is most definitely not funny.

"Hex?" Whitty finally asks, after an uncomfortable silence.

"Yep, that's me" I say.

And then (just as expected) Whitty asks. "Why would you want to watch that anyway?"

I groan and roll my eyes. "Why is it any of your business?" 

"Alright! I was just asking!" he responds, like a dumbass. I mean, why did he have to ask? It was stupid.

God, I hate him so much.

Finally, I break the silence. "Why did you want me again?"

"I can pay for you?" he says, as if he was asking some obscure question. It was like all my confidence had vanished into thin air.

"Uhm, s-sure" I smile briefly at him. What? It was to show my gratitude. He places the dollar bill onto the ticket booth's counter.

"Finally, someone who knows what they're doing" the guy mutters under his breath. Cold bastard.

I walk into the theater. I hear heavy foot steps getting louder and louder as someone gets closer to me. 

"Hex! Wait!"

Of course.

Whitty.

"What is it now?" I say, getting impatient.

"I'm coming with you" He grins.

"Why?"

"Because," He pauses. "That's what friends do"
