~TicciWork~ (Ticci Toby x Clockwork)

-Chapter 11- For the first time.

{ Clockwork's POV }

I woke up, but not really, I guess. I looked at Toby who was sitting next to me. He stared at me, surprised.

"Hey." I said, quietly.

He hugged me tightly... I wished he would do that in real life.

"Clockwork.." His quiet, yet husky, words ringed in my ear as he hugged me.

When I lifted my leg up, there was bandaging wrapped around it. It still hurt a bit. I got up, anyway.

It doesn't matter if I get hurt, it's just a dream.

I limped over to the counters across the medical office.

Toby looked at me, "The doctor say you will need crunches.." He looked at the ground, "if you put pressure on it you can hurt it more..."

"Oh.." I said, looking at the crunches across the room. While walking over to the other side, I almost tripped, making Toby catch me.

"I.. I don't need help. I'm fine.." I said, not even looking at him.

I managed to get the crunches. They where like any other old crunches. I hated the idea of using them.. Making me look weak. Toby stared at me, quietly. We where both very quiet at the time.

"I'm not weak.. If that's what you're thinking." I said, breaking the silence for the moment. All you could hear is clocks ticking.. Ticking..

That remained me or something.

"Your time is up.."

I remembered from my past. I let out a sigh, "I'm.." I said, quietly, "I'm not depressed, either."

Toby didn't respond.

He was staring at the wall.

I sat next to him sitting on my bed.

I thought about Toby..

He was just like me.

He was just like me..

I thought about it more. He really was like me, in my eyes. And, to be honest, I hate me.

Maybe..

Maybe he ISNT the one I truly love..

Well, I'll decide when I get back to the REAL world.

Clockwork..

She's awake...

She's really awake.

Now, am I sad or happy?

Why did she do that to herself..?

I still can't figure it out.

She's different, too.

Clockwork.. Clockwork just seems more- broken, I guess.

She just broke.

I can't imagine what happened in the days she was out.

I sighed.

Clockwork stared at me, "I can't wait till I wake up.." She said to me, "I promise, Toby, I really do. I promise never to hurt myself again like that.."

"Wake up..?" I said, slowly, "You're already awake. Do you think this is a dream or something? This is real life, Clocky.."

"Really....? I don't know-" She looked down and thought for the right words, "I just don't know what is real or not anymore.."

She sounded as if she was about to burst into tears and let it all out. I went to console her but she pushed me away.

Clockwork put her hand on my shoulder and looked down, closing her eyes.

"Do.."

I took a breath in, and let my words out..
