Hola, Peeps! I'm back for the dead! Anyway, here's the new chapter. Hope you enjoy!
Mike's P.O.V
It's Monday and I was still asleep. That was until the front door slammed open. I opened one eye to see Julie stomp to her bedroom and slam her bedroom door. Groaning, I push my self off the bed and stretch out. I pushed the door open to see Julie sitting on her bed with some tears in her eyes looking at the falling snow.
"What's wrong?" I asked walking to sit next to her.
"Eighth grade girls are mean, especially since they know about my past." She said, trying to fight back tears. "They broke my necklace that my mom gave to me when I was two." She sniffed out. "They broke it." I looked at her sadly. Then, I wrapped my arms around her.
"Don't worry. Everything is fine, Julie." She didn't move. She only stared at the snowflakes. "Do you need something to make you feel better?" I asked with a yawn. She shook her head and yawned back.
"I probably need a nap." I smiled.
"You can come to my room if it makes you feel more comfortable." She smiled back and nodded.
We laid there silently. I tried to go back to sleep but I couldn't. All I could think was about Julie and the pain she felt.
"What do I do about the necklace?" She asked, staring at the ceiling. I sighed.
"Don't know." I turned in my back and stared at the ceiling too. "You know, when I was about four my mom died in a car crash. I never really remembered her. All I had was her hat. I still have it with me. Also, my dad kicked me out of the house after I turned eighteen. He didn't care if I didn't have any money, a place to sleep, or even if I was still in school. I spent the rest of the year with my best friend and working to get to college. I got to graduate at least but ended up with no money again. Then, I met Doll and we dated for about two years until I popped the question. We got married last year." I smiled at the memories. "And then, we got you." I turned my head to her and she turned hers to me. "We've been happy ever since then." I smiled. She didn't. "Even though life is hard and we can't choose where we start, we can always choose where we end up." I sat up and she finally made a beautiful smile.
"Thanks, Mike. That really helped me. No body has ever said that to me." I smiled back.
"Just to let you know, I'd love to see the real Julie." Her smile widened.
"Okay." I flopped back down and yawned.
"Now I really need to sleep for work tonight." I closed my eyes. Mission accomplished.
I got to work and hung up on Julie. Doll was gonna be late and Doll doesn't have Julie's number. I walked in just as the employees walked out. As I walked in to my office, I flipped my phone out again and played a small game. Then, I heard some breathing noises and flipped the cameras on. Chicca was in the hall way. I peeked out to see her right out side the door and quickly closed it. Suddenly, I heard knocking. It wasn't from the metal door, it was from outside. Chicca looked out the window all friendly and Bonnie poked his head into the office.
"Um… someone's outside." He said, scared. No one usually is hear at night. When some is here, they are here to break the animatronics but I usually stop them.
I looked at the door with my flash light high and the animatronics rushing to hide. I peek out and see a teen. I roll my eyes. Great. Some kids are playing some sick jokes. I said in my head. Grabbing the handle, I look behind me to see all the animatronics out of the hallway. I turn the handle and the teen shoves a box of donuts into me. I look down.
"I didn't order donuts, kid." I said, trying to see her face.
"I know." She smiled and took her hood off. My eyes widened.
"Julie! You're supposed to be home!" I almost yelled.
"Doll never showed up. I snuck out to see you at work." She walked in and looked around. "Man, this place is creepy at night. I wonder what the animatronics look like." My eyes almost popped out of my head.
"The animatronics!" I yelled and pushed her into the office. She stood near the door and confusingly watched me run around the office yelling swear words. Then, I hear someone laugh. I looked up behind Julie and see glowing eyes in the dark. Standing up, I calmly and slowly grab Julie's arm.
"Is something wrong?" She asked. I smiled nervously at her. She turned her head and smiled. "Freddy!" She then ran up the animatronic and hugged him. He snapped out of his weird behavior and went to his old self. "Wait." She released him and looked at both of us. "Why is he on?"
"The animatronics were never given a night mode and for some reason try to kill me every night." I said with a emotionless face and in one breath. Her eyes widened.
"Sorry. We don't kill kids though." Freddy said nervously. Julie stepped back and hide behind me. Then, she backed up close to the other door and bumped into a metal object. Her body stiffened and she looked up to see Bonnie and Chicca.
"Hi." Chicca smiled. Julie jumped up and yelled. I rolled my eyes and sat her down.
"They aren't gonna kill you." I yelled. The animatronics nodded behind me. "Trust me." Her eyes scanned the animatronics and then me. She sighed and smiled.
"I'm Julie." Standing up, the animatronics smiled.
"Mike told us about you." Bonnie smiled at me. Julie smiled at me too.
"So you're… Bonnie," she pointed at the blue rabbit, "Chicca, and Freddy." She smiled.
"Where's Foxy?" I asked.
"Here!" I heard the fox yell in the hall.
"Come on in." I peeked into the hall to see him leaning near the window.
"Um… it already seems… crowded?" He asked more than stated. I shrugged.
"We can go to the dinning room if you want." I was about to walk back in.
"No! It's fine. The lass doesn't need to know me." He said. I looked into his robotic eyes. Even though he was a robot, I could see that he was sad, nervous, and… afraid.
"Um… okay." I turned around to walk back into the office. "I guess." I looked at Julie and the animatronics as they sat on the floor talking. Then, I looked at Foxy, who was looking through the small window. His metal ears drooping down as he watched Julie carefully. I looked at Julie who was pretending to listen to Bonnie. I could tell just by seeing her that she didn't want to listen to Bonnie's, Chicca's or Freddy's stories really. All she wanted to do was to listen to the lone fox who kept watching her through the glass.
