Lost (A Ticci-Toby Love Story)

Stitches Make Kisses

Toby's coming back to school after two weeks, he's finally back! To be honest I'm a bit scared to introduce him to James but I can't wait for all of us to be friends. I told Toby that I was going to introduce him to James, but he didn't seem too excited about it. Eh, I expected it. But, he's been acting weird lately.. 'Maybe he didn't want to be your friend anymore!' The voices said. "That can't be right, we've been friends since we were little!" I mumbled back, calming the storm that rose inside of me.

"Butterfly!" I heard Toby's voice, call me. I turn around and jump in his arms.

"T-tobyyyy!" I squeal as he spins me around in his arms. He sets me on the ground. 

"Someone m-missed me?" He says, picking at me.

"Of c-course! It's been lonely! And you have a-another person who wants to meet you!" I say, poking him in the stomach. 

"Oh y-yeah.. James." He said, quietly as the bus drives up. We get on the bus and get in our regular seats. I laid my head on the window while Toby laid on my shoulder. 'I like this. I don't want this to end!' I think, smiling at the though of me and Toby being together.

I suddenly twitch, my ears start ringing, and then my head starts pound. I clutch my head and let out a deep groan, as we near the forest and my head starts spinning, I feel nauseous. The same figure from the car ride is there. 'This isn't good.' "Becca, you o-ok?" Toby says, noticing my pain and dizziness.

"I-i'm fine!" I say, as Toby grabs my face, lightly and makes me face him. 

"Are you s-sure?" He says, worried. 

I nodded my head and smiled. "I'm f-fine! Just a little bus sickness!" He looks at me with worried eyes. 

"Ok.." Toby says, and then kisses my forehead. My stomach started doing flips and turns. I blush and laid my head on Toby's shoulder.

The bus came to a stop at the school and I got off, being greeted by James. "Hey, Rebecca! You look great!" He says, giving me a hug. 

"Hey J-james! I want you to meet Toby," I say, pulling Toby in the middle of us, Toby looks at me and I smile and he smiles back. I blush. "Uhhh.. T-toby this is J-james..." I stutter, from both bashfulness from Toby's smile and then from my stuttering problem. 

***

Rebecca introduces me to James. I get a smile from Y/n and then I introduce myself to James. "Hey James! I'm T-toby!" I say giving him a fist bump. 

"What's up Toby! I've heard so much about you!" He says, making me happy to know Rebecca talks about me to him. 

"G-good things, I hope!" I say, laughing. James laughs and looks at Becca. I don't like the way he looks at her. 'Maybe he likes her!' I shake the voice away and we head inside. 

"So, Toby, Becca says that you like to play games." James says, catching me off guard. 

"Y-yeah. I do." I say, looking over at her. I watch as her long, red hair flows in the wind.

I get snapped back into reality by James. "Did you hear me," He asks. "I asked, what games do you play?"

"Oh, I play pretty much a-anything, but I like playing C-call of Duty!" I say, gaining an approving look from James. The bell starts to ring and I rush off to class. 

I walk into class and I suddenly see Brad eyeing me. I sit down, I sit right in front of Dean, the guy that Becca beat with a chair, and he walks in and sits in his desk, suddenly I hear Dean whisper in my ear. "There ain't no little Rebecca here to save you today!" He says, I turn around, looking at him confused. 

"I b-beg your pardon?" 

"You don't remember? We changed electives! Wait, you weren't here for that! I guess you will find out what elective you'll have today!" Dean says making me panic and message Becca.

Me- Butterfly?

Becca- Yea, Tobes?

Me- Did you choose my elective for me?

Becca- Crap. No, I didn't! I'm sorry! What made you think of that?

Me- Dean, Brad's friend. He told me that there isn't a 'little Rebecca to save me.'

Becca- I'm sorry Tobes! But if they mess with you, I will take a corkscrew and stab their eyes out with it! 

Me- It's ok! And don't! I'll handle it... What did you choose?

Becca- I chose Gym. again.. I really hope that's what you get! I'll see you at lunch! Byee

Me- Bye! ❤

I shove my phone back in my pocket and huffed. 

***

I head to the lunch and see Rebecca with James. He's looking at her, like a lion eyes it's prey! I still don't like that. "T-TOBY!" I hear Becca shout from our table. I smile and walk over to them. 

"Hey g-guys!" I say and look at Becca. 

"Did you f-figure out what elective you have?" She asks me.

"Yeah.. I h-have Gym." I say, smiling at Becca.

She lights up and hugs me. "Yay! Th-thank God!" 

James cleared his throat. "I have Home Economics." He says. 

"That's n-nice!" I say and she just smiles. 

***

The bell rings and I get up and grab for my bag, that wasn't there. "W-where is my bag?" I ask.

"I g-got it!" Toby says, smiling at me. 

"How do you l-like James?" I ask Toby as we walk down the hall. 

"He seems like a g-great guy!" Toby says, smiling a little. 

'Not as great as you.' I think when we walk into the gym. I grab my bag from Toby and thank him. Suddenly Brad and his idiots comes up to Toby. 

"Hey Toby! Where's you little girlfriend?" He says, looking around half scared, half cocky. 

"She's n-not my girlfriend!" Toby stutters, making Brad chuckle. 

"I'm so s-sorry! My m-mistake!" Brad says, mocking Toby's tics. Toby looks down, as Brad goes to raise his fist when I jump out between them and Toby. 

"T-touch him and I will beat your a*s with the nearest object I can f-find!" I say, getting in their face.

They back up and Dean finally speaks up. "Hey, let's just leave them alone! It's not worth getting suspended again!" They nod and walk into the gym.

"That's the f-first time I heard you cuss!" Toby says, making me laugh. 

"Yeah, well those two weeks of you g-gone, I've picked up a few words from James." I say, as I hold my hand out to Toby. 

"W-what?" He asks, looking at my hand. 

"Let's g-go to Gym!" I say, grabbing his hand and running towards the doors. 

***

Me and Rebecca run into the gym and join our class. "Ok. Class, today we are playing Volleyball! I want girls at one net and boys at another net!" I walk over to the coach and he just nods his head, when he looks at me.

I go and sit in the bleachers and watch Becca as she plays Volleyball. I smile as she looks at me and waves with her hands in the air. I wave at her and my heart skips a beat. 'She's gorgeous!' I think, as she celebrates with her team. 'Too bad, James has her!'  The voices tell me. I shake my head. "James, doesn't have her!" I mumble to myself. Suddenly I feel two small arms wrap around my neck and a light-weight body jump on my back.   

"We w-won Toby!" Rebecca squeals in my ear, making me chuckle at her cuteness. 

"I know! I s-saw!" I say spinning her around, making her squeal. 'Her and James don't do this!' I argue back at the voices.

"T-toby?" She whispers in my ear, making me shiver. 

"Y-yeah?" I say.

"The bell rung, l-let's go!" She giggles in my ear. I twitch a little and then I jump, making her squeal, and then I run out the gym to the locker rooms.

***

Me and Toby walk outside and James comes up to us and hugs me. "Hey sugar!" He says. I didn't like it. James, made it clear to me that he liked me, without even telling me. He always hit on me, it's made me uncomfortable to be honest  he reminds me a lot like my father use to be, before he got into alcohol and being abusive. 

"H-hey James!" I say, smiling. I turned in time to see a girl drop money on the ground. I run to pick it up and I tap the girl on the shoulder. 

"Yes?" She says, when she faces me. 

"H-hi! You d-dropped your ten dollars back there!" I say, holding it up to her.

She smiles at me and takes the money. "Thank you! That was the money that was going to buy me supper tonight! Thank you!" 

"You're welcome!" I say and start talking with her. 

***

Rebecca walked away from James and went to talk to another girl, who had dropped her money. I walk over to James and give him a fist bump. "What's u-up James?" I say.

"What's up Toby!" He says, looking back at Becca. I heard him mumble a quiet 'damn' when she bent over. 

"W-what was that?" I ask, with my head turned to the side. 

"Nothing," He says, laughing. "Hey let me just tell you something.." He says, getting all serious with me.

"W-what?" I ask, as he bends down to make eye contact with me.

"I don't know what's going on between you and Becca. But, all I know is that you better back the hell off!" James says, his eyes getting dark.

"W-what did you just say to me?" I ask, clutching my fists.

"You heard me freak! Back off Rebecca! She's my girl! I don't want you being around her!" James says and I jump on him, knocking him down.

"REBECCA IS MINE!" I yell, as I beat him until I ran out of energy and James flips and starts beating me.

***

I was talking to Sara when all of a sudden I hear Toby shout "REBECCA IS MINE!" I turn around and see Toby jump on James and start beating him. Suddenly I watch as James jumps on Toby and starts to beat him.

I clench my fists as I watch James beat Toby and I run and jump on James, pulling him off of Toby. "Get the h-hell off Toby!" I shout, pulling him off and seeing Toby all banged up. His lip bleeding, his legs and arms are all scratched up from the cement they were fighting on. 

"Rebecca! Toby attacked me!" James says, trying to hide his smile. 

"No. Becca! I-it was James! H-he threatened me! He told me that you were his and to stay away from you!" Toby says, roughly. I turn and look at Toby. 

"He's lying!" James shouts.

"No. I-i'm not," Toby says back. "I l-love you, Becca! I wouldn't do that to your friends like that! He told me that you w-were his and told me to never come back around you! He c-called you his girl, but you're m-my girl! You're my b-butterfly!" My heart starts fluttering as soon as Toby says those words! I look at Toby then James.

Toby’s eyes were begging me to believe him but James just held a fake smile and l**t, I look back to Toby and help him up. I turn to James and punch him one last time in the face. "f**k you." I say to him. I take Toby's hand walk forward ushering him out the door and towards the nurses office. I open the door, turning my head to find the nurse but alas no nurse to be found.

I huff and push Toby towards the bed, and pick up a first aid kit and start to clean the cuts, I wrap his knees and elbows up and  then I get a rag and put peroxide on it and go up to Toby's face and  pat the cut on his chin. Then I get to his lips and pause tearing my eyes up to his, both staring at each other we both start leaning in, my heart skips once, twice, three times. Our lips meet, the cut on his lip smearing blood to mine and a metallic taste fills my mouth, not that I cared. I was kissing Toby! My eyes fluttering closed, wrapping a hand to the back of his head gripping his hair, his hands pushing my back towards him.

Suddenly a loud gasp sounds, breaking away both of us a deep red, we see James in shock and the girl who dropped her money, Sara. James was leaning on Rebecca who’s face was in one of those shippers kind of face. "W-we'll be leaving!" I say and pull Toby up and out the room. 

"I l-love you, Y/n!" Toby says and I smile. 

"I love you, t-too!" I say turning around and kissing him again.
