Upon arriving to his room panting,Toby swiftly grabbed the key hidden in one of his drawers,closed the door slowly and locked it. He glared at the door for about 5 minutes,before turning his back and pressing it against the wooden structure.He slowly started sliding down until he reached the floor and hugged his knees.He finally caught his breath and realised the impact of his actions.His anger was pilling up,he couldn't control it anymore.And as such,he couldn't help but let out a cry as he punched the wall next to him.He yelped and he shook his hand to try and ease the pain.After he felt better he got up,reached his bed and punched his pillow multiple times.
How could he be so rude to his friends? How could he be so rude to his family? His parents? His..brother.
Why did he have to be so jealous of his brother..
Why did he feel useless and disposable?
After tiring himself out,he returned to his previous position,on the floor.It had gotten dark outside.And there he still was.He had no interest in taking a stroll today.As he laid there,lost in thought,he heard footsteps coming from the stairs.He groaned softly,since he didn't want to be heard.He just wanted to be alone.But at the same time,he didn't want to be alone.
He was stressed,he was confused and he didn't know what he wanted.
He decided he would get up and lay on his bed,make it seem like he was sleeping.It was probably his dad or his mom either way.
But for some reason Toby couldn't lay down on his bed.He was too curious.Someone came up to check up on him.Okay.. But what if it wasn't his parents? Or nick? What if it was someone else?.
He discarded that thought and tried to close his eyes,but it was impossible.
Eventually the pair of footsteps stopped,right in front of his door.He groaned again a little louder as he got up from his bed and sat at the edge.He could see the shadow that was casted by two feet standing in front of his door,thanks to the dim lighted hallway.Now he was just sitting there,waiting impatiently for any sort of activity coming from the other person.The only thing separating them after all was just a plank of wood.And yet still, Toby hesitated to talk first.So did the person waiting for him outside.
3 minutes passed..Toby was still waiting for something.Anything.a knock maybe? Someone to try and open his door,despite it being locked?
Some time passed and finally a female voice was heard.
It was Jessica.
"..Look Toby I know you are in there and I know you don't want to see anyone right now.But you..You can't just..Jolt you way out of a conversation! I missed you..I..I.."
Toby was shocked! Out of all the people to show up,Jess was the one he expected last.And hearing her say all that.A few tears rolled down his eyes,which he quickly whipped away.
He then heard sobbing coming from the door.He snapped out of it and quickly reached the door.He slightly opened it up,just so that a gap was visible.Half of his face was shown.He didn't plan on letting anyone in his room but once he saw Jessica's tear filled face
once he heard her sniffing
And once he saw the concern in her eyes,he let her in.
She immediately hugged her childhood friend,not even bothering asking for permission.They remained in each other's arms for some good time.They were so lost in their little world that they didn't realise someone else was coming up the stairs.Eventually a male voice soon echoed in the hallways.
"Hey jess are you ready to go? Your mom is here to pick you up and-"
It was Lucas! Once he saw the two hugging he immediately turned around..But he heard Jessica's sobs.
"Wait..Wait what is going on guys?"
Lucas seemed concerned as well.Both Toby and Jessica looked at him, with their tear stained faces and their red-from crying-eyes.
Lucas immediately joined in the hug and didn't say anything.He just held both of them in his arms,as a way of showing his concern and affection.And really that was all that Toby needed at this point.
But alas someone else was waiting for them outside of Toby's room.
It was no other than his brother Nick.
Who looked more confused than concerned.Of course how could he understand.
But as Nick saw his brother crying,that all changed.
"Woah woah,Toby..Toby what happened-are you alright?? Do you need some help or?-",Nick said nervously
It was obvious he was feeling awkward.He wasn't sure what to say in these situations.Good old Nick.
Toby just looked at his brother.Glared at him.
"Why do you care?", he said quietly.
" Why do I WHAT?? You are my brother of course and I care about you!",Nick replied
Toby finally snapped.He pushed Jessica and Lucas out of his way and got closer to his brother.
"WHY DO YOU CARE ABOUT ME AT ALL?? HECK WE LIVE IN THE SAME HOUSE AND YOU ALWAYS SEEM TO BE THE ONLY ONE OTHERS CARE FOR!!?",Toby yelled from the bottom of his lungs.
Lucas tried to hold him but Toby was just uncontainable.
"So this is it huh?
This is how I ruin my only friendship.." Toby thought to himself in his subconscious.
However at the moment he wasn't doing any thinking.Only yelling.
