It was like an endless cycle...

"Don't leave," He pleaded, hurriedly grabbing on to her wrist as if his life depended on it, "Please." He sounded so believable, so desperate for her to stay, as if that if she were to leave, he'd be nothing; but she knew better.

"Please, don't do this to me." She pleaded back, attempting to tug off his arm so she can finally walk away from this god forbidden mess she managed to drag herself into. "I'm tired, o-of everything. Everyone's right, this isn't healthy, a-at all. You always say that you'd change, that you'd stop...doing this to me, but you don't, and I'm tired of giving you another chance when you're not even both-"

"Then I'll change," He said quickly and desperately, words that she's heard countless of times before. "I swear this time I mean it."

Hesitating, she bit her lower lip as she pondered about it for a moment. "...I-I..."

"Please." He continued pleading, "I love you."

She looked down, still pondering whether she should give him another chance...for the umpteenth time in a row.

"I won't do it again," He, yet again, continued pleading. It seems as if he's so desperate, "I promise."

She still didn't respond whatsoever, still pondering, hesitating. Her friends say she should leave him, her family does the same too, not to mention her mind. But should she? Because, for some odd reason, her heart is saying no (if that even makes sense).

Maybe she should forgive him...for one...last time.

Turning back at him hesitantly, she observed his facial expression. Well, he did look sorry for what he's done. So that counts? "I...I- you promise?"

He only nodded quickly at this, "Yes. I promise."

Well, he did say promise. Couldn't argue with that. That means he won't do it again, right?

Wrong.

Like what was said before, it was like an endless, never ending cycle that just goes on and on until to the point where she questions her very own sanity that is slowly crumbling bit by bit as she continued staying, with him.

Sometimes, she just wonders. Will she ever get out of this endless, never ending cycle? Or will she stay long enough for her sanity and self-worth go down the drain of nothingness?


...

Tired looking, teal eyes slowly opened, only to be greeted by darkness, and, of course, a white ceiling above.

It was only a dream.

Tecna thought with a sigh as she reached out for her phone, located at the end table next to her bed, checking for the time, because it's definitely not morning right now and she wonders how many hours she slept in, because judging by her odd and peculiar dream (or...nightmare), she assumes she wouldn't be able to sleep again.

After a few moments of frustrating attempts to blindly find her phone in the dark, she now felt the familiar smooth screen of her phone and grabbed it with a sigh of relief. Only to be briefly blinded by the brightness of the said phone, hissing at the brightness for a moment, she then adjusted the brightness to its lowest brightness so she can see clearly without being blinded by the bright light, before checking the time.

4:13 AM

Great. Three hours of sleep that she could have savored for the time being, gone. Because after that dream, she doubts she'll ever get shut eye for the rest of the night...or morning.

"Curse Stella's damn 6-hour chick flick marathons." She muttered quietly to herself as she found herself just staring at the white, dull ceiling, recalling the time her good friend Stella had forced her and her friends to watch chick flicks that she couldn't care less about six hours straight. And somehow, one of those movies included a famous scene that she dreamt about just now.

Weird that a similar occurrence happened to her one time.

Maybe that's why she couldn't sleep, it's bringing back unwanted and depressing memories.

And now, she's here, laying on her bed at 4:00 AM, staring at the ceiling with no motivation to close her eyes whatsoever because of her old memories coming back to haunt her for the night. Memories are such assholes.


...

Meanwhile.

"Hmm, what's this?" Timmy asked to no one in particular as he spotted one particular and rather surprising video at the suggestions page on his Magixtube. "I didn't know Tecna has a boyfriend, or maybe, had..."

The title of the video he saw was 'My New Girlfriend!' and the thumbnail included Tecna, and another rather familiar Magixtuber, sitting together, being rather...happy together. It also had over at least 15 million views, and it was released over a year ago. Since Tecna mentioned nothing about having a boyfriend, much less a Magixtuber boyfriend with over 25 million subscribers, he can safely assume that the two had broken up or something.

Of course, it wasn't Tecna who posted this video, but her (ex?)boyfriend did. Timmy has heard very little to none about this particular Magixtuber, as they're not in the same field of entertainment in the famous video sharing site. But he did hear some things about him from his roommate Riven, who is coincidentally in the same field of entertainment as Tecna's presumably ex-boyfriend. And from what Timmy's heard, he's an asshole. Yes, that's all he knows.

Unlike him, and Tecna...and nearly all the Magixtubers who actually has creativity in naming their channel, this particular Magixtuber just named his channel by his name. And his name is...JOHN CE- never mind. (Please excuse the author as she/he has been exposed to memes about a certain wrestler that has been circulating around the internet lately).

Anyway, the Magixtuber's channel consists of nothing but satirical and offensive content, maybe that's why he named his channel after his name instead of a username. But in all seriousness though, his channel really is an offensive one. After all, he once made a video that mocked gaming Magixtubers, him included, and continued mocking gaming Magixtubers, along with other, from then on.

But there's one thing he didn't honestly get. From what he's heard, this guy frequently mocks gamers and all that. But he was once together with Tecna...who is a gamer girl. What.

As he clicked on the video, he took a look at the suggestions page at the side first. Wow, this guy had a lot of videos with him and Tecna together. The two must have had a great time being together...

The video then started.

"What's up, everyone, Troy Howards here! And we are here for a special announcement!" The man in the video, who is Troy Howards, started up the video with the most original introduction ever. Timmy momentarily rolled his eyes at the super original introduction. Troy was at least the same age as Timmy and Tecna, he had a rather muscular body, much more muscular than Timmy but about the same built as Brandon and his friends (Minus Timmy, of course), fair skin, dark brown, tousled hair, and sharp looking dark eyes and other features on his face that the author has no energy to write for. "Look who now has a new girlfriend!"

"Look who has a new boyfriend!" The all too familiar voice that Timmy is so familiar with spoke somewhere out of sight of the camera, and it sounded cheerful as usual. A few moments later, there appeared next to Troy was a certain magenta-haired gamer that Timmy is all too familiar with...with a few changes.

He had to admit, the Tecna from a year prior looked a bit different from the Tecna now. Her magenta hair in this video nearly reached her upper back instead of her now short magenta hair that barely reached her shoulders, and there's this one thing that Timmy couldn't believe his eyes.

Glasses. She wore glasses. Specifically half-rimmed purple ones. Who knew, huh?

He did wonder why she ditched the glasses though, he must admit, she did look a bit cute with them.

The video continued on for at least 8 minutes consisting of the (Ex?)couple announcing their new relationship and other things that Timmy doesn't want to mention. After that, he checked the comments to find out what really happened.

Huh. So this was the original TxT (1 Reply)
-We don't talk about the original TxT.

RIP Tecna (2 Replies)
-She isn't dead tho
-I know bro but I think she's dead inside after this mess she got into

This is so fucking confusing, like, this pairing is TxT, but the other pairing with her and theTimister or whatever is also TxT. Why don't y'all come up with better names, like Trecna and Tina instead of this TxT bullshit? (1 Reply)
-Sounds tempting but we chose TxT for Tecna and Timmy to cover up this Troy and Tecna shit pairing that spawned from the pits of hell.

Okay, yes we asked for TxT. But not this TxT! wHO EVEN ASKED FOR THIS?!

Just, fuck this asshole, man. He's the fucking reason TECNAlogyGeek (The girl in the video) is a mess right now. (2 Replies)
-Huh, I didn't really pay attention to recent news lately, but what did he do to her?
-Messed up things, man, messed up things.

Timmy only blinked at the comments. He's so utterly confused and lost right now. What did Troy do to Tecna? That's one of the questions racing in his mind.

Eager to find out more, he was about to scroll down for any other comments to reveal what really happened, but was stopped.

"Hey, mainframe," Riven came in their room casually, grabbing his phone and turning to the ginger-haired gamer, "We're leaving."

Timmy immediately got what Riven was talking about and stood up, getting ready himself. Since the end of college is nearing soon, they at least have to find an apartment to live in since they can't just live in their dorms forever. "I'm coming!"


A/N: Well, this was longer than I expected. But longer is better, right? What is better can be foreshadowing, heavy hinting, and revealing!

So you know Tecna's old (Ex?)boyfriend, Troy, and there's one thing we definitely know about him; he is an asshole. And there are questions. Are they still together? What happened? Why is Tecna a mess right now? Why did I put a John Cena joke in there?

So many questions. But it would be revealed in the next chapter (or something).

I hope you enjoyed reading!
