Third person POV

As Timmy and Tootie walked side by side, Tootie asked, "So you once told me that you were depressed, exactly how bad was it back then? And do you still feel that way?"

Timmy sighed, "It was so bad that I thought about ending it, I think it was about three times I actually tried, but I don't feel that way anymore...Well I kind of still do, but it's not so much where I want to just die, it just puts me down so much that I don't feel like doing anything."

Tootie walked closer to Timmy, "Am I one of the reasons why you started feeling better?" Tootie asked with a small smile, Timmy nodded, "Yeah, and for a while it was only because of you I got better, you kept me strong." Timmy bumped her shoulder playfully, "There were times I thought you were crazy, but I also thought everything you did was cool, no one really pays me a lot of attention, but you stayed even though I kept running, thank you for that."

Tootie smiled brightly, "You're welcome, Hey you know I've always been an open book, but I've always- just then Tootie's phone vibrated, and then she looked at the text, a second later Timmy's phone did the same, and he pulled out his phone and looked at the screen.

On Tootie's screen it read; You're with Timmy right? If you are, then tell him I said that Nicky and Jerry asked for you and that you need to go home. But after he leaves come over to Vicky's, there's some stuff I want to tell you. Don't tell Timmy or Vicky please.

It was from Alex.

On Timmy's phone read; Yo you wanted to bury the hatchet with Vicky right? Well I can help you with that, just come over to Vicky's. Plus there's something I need to tell you.

That one was from Alex also.

Timmy and Tootie looked at each other and smiled, "I gott- they said simultaneously, "Sorry...Uh I gotta go, parents got back." Timmy said and started backing away slowly, "Okay...Same with mine, I'll see you, tomorrow?" Tootie asked.

He nodded, "Yeah, I feel like I can be more open with you from now on...Wait aren't our places the way? I can walk you back." Timmy offered. Tootie put her phone away "sure."

Side by side Timmy and Tootie walked home, but neither one of them will actually stay home. Ten minutes of walking and Timmy and Tootie were at Tootie's house, "Alright, I'll see ya tomorrow." Timmy said.

Tootie nodded and waved, "See you." And then she went towards her house, Timmy watched her walk in and then he turned back and went towards Vicky's apartment. As Timmy made his way to Vicky's he started thinking maybe he should just text Alex back and go home, where he won't have to face his greatest fear. But talking to Tootie help him, Timmy felt at ease, he felt like now he can face the main reason why he was so depressed.

Ten minutes later he was at Vicky's, he went to the fourth floor and saw Alex waiting at a door, once Alex noticed Timmy he opened the door and waited for Timmy, 'this is it', Timmy thought. When he reached the door Alex smiled, "Sorry for calling you out like this. I know you said you wanted to wait, but Vicky is not the patient type of person. She told me to get you over here. Sorry once again."

Timmy shook his head, "facing this sooner than later is better, plus I got the confidence I needed." And then Timmy walked in and took off his shoes, "You've changed a lot in the short time I've seen you, you were so shy and uncertain about everything, but now you…Are better than me…" Alex smiled, but that smiled seemed too sad on his face, it looks happy, but there was always a sadness deep in his eyes, and once and awhile it showed on his face, Timmy thought back on when they first met, he towered over him and looked at him with somewhat deadeyes, but now, he can see it's getting better.

Alex led Timmy in the last room, once Timmy past Alex, he said, "She's saying this to help you…"

And Alex went back to the front door, Timmy looked at the redhead, his hands shaking a little bit, and his heart beating fast, "Hey twerp, so Alex told me somethings. Don't blame him for that, but I agree, we have to talk about those things I did to you…But first let me just say like you I was depressed, no one liked me because of how I acted, not my parents, not my sister, and certainly not you. So…I'm sorry." Vicky apologized, but she remained seated on her bed, "When you were Ten when we first met, I thought you were nothing more than a loser, oh man was I right…But I was also wrong for thinking that."

Timmy stared at Vicky as she continued, "I did some things that can never be forgiven, and I know that, but-

Outside Vicky's apartment Alex was just now meeting with Tootie, "What's up Alex? Why didn't you want me to tell anyone I was coming over?" She asked, Alex had an uncertain look, "Trust is what comes first when revealing the truth to everyone."

Tootie Chuckled nervously, "Okay…"

And then he went inside with Tootie, he took her quietly to the last room and then she started to hear Vicky, "There's nothing worse in the world than being ignored by everyone…I paid attention to you…But in the wrong way, I'm guessing that made you hate me even more, huh?" Vicky said in a voice Tootie's never heard, "Yes…" Timmy spoke so quietly Tootie thought it was someone else for a second.

Why is Timmy here? Tootie looked to Alex, but he put his finger to his lips, "Yea, I'm sorry about that too…There is a lot I'm sorry for, I never would have said any of this ever, but someone changed my mind about the way I do things, and how I act towards everyone...Maybe not everyone, because I'm still messed up, but that person taught me to stop myself if I go too far. Like how I was babysitting you, once I saw what I was doing I stopped…The day I stepped through that door in your house, I was thinking, hey look another little kid that'll do everything for me, while I get paid! I was sixteen and lost. But the shell I had was so strong no one saw through it."

Tootie was looking down at her feet, her eyes stinging a little bit, Vicky was hurting so much, and she never noticed, that made Tootie feel bad, Timmy finally spoke, "You're right, the stuff you did to me is…Unforgivable, and I did hate you, because of you I almost ended my own life. Because of you, I started to hate this world, I have nothing good to say about you…Nothing you did was good, everything was so bad I just didn't believe in living anymore, but like you…I had no one to talk to about this stuff, most of the time it seemed like no one cared, every time something bad happened, it got worse. I got tripped on the bus last week and you know what happened next? They spilled water on me and laughed, they all think I don't have what it takes to stand up to them…They were all right…Because of you I had no confidence in myself, I had no faith, I had no hope, and worst of all, I had no love."

Tootie put her hand over her mouth, he's been hurting this much because of Vicky? Vicky spoke again in that same tone, soft and so gentle. "Then don't forgive me, if everything you're feeling is because of me, then don't forgive me, I deserve it."

"She's right." Tootie said out loud, Alex frowned but didn't say anything, so Tootie continued. "Anyone who drives you to the point where you no longer want to live, should never be forgiven. Never." Tootie walked into the room with Alex right behind her. "What the hell?" Vicky said, her shell was crushing again, "Why is she here? Alex!"

Alex thought this over carefully, he was planning to invite Tootie once Vicky agreed to talk to Timmy. "I called her here, because unlike Timmy and I, you have a sibling. I don't want you to have her misunderstanding you, I don't want her to hate you, and I want you to at least have someone who knows you aren't as bad as they think. I should have told you, I'm sorry, but do you think you would have agreed to let her come otherwise?" Alex asked.

Vicky stared at Alex, she looked angry but then she started to think, a few seconds later she said, "I get that you did this because you thought it would help me, but like everyone else I put up this image, one that shows I'm not weak, I put it up so people wouldn't ask me what's wrong." Vicky laughed, "As if anyone would ask that, I mean the people that live in this town are as dumb as cows, no one would ever ask one who is sad, 'what's wrong?' because they can't see that someone is sad no matter how hard they look! Even my own parents can't see that!"

Vicky pointed to Tootie, "Tootie is different than the others, she's smart, if she saw how sad I really was, she would constantly be asking me what's wrong? And if I told her everything, she would hate the people who made me feel this way! I don't want her to follow in my footsteps."

Tootie looked shocked but she said, "That's a laugh, everything you've ever done was horrible! Every friend I had, you chased them away! Every freaking time I was having fun, you ruined it! You did all that because to you, that was 'fun' Do you realize how miserable I was because of you? The only friend I had was Timmy, I was starting to forgive you…But then I hear all of those things you did to him, I can't forgive someone who hurt the boy I love, I just can't."

"That's why we're here…" Alex murmured, "I…Want you two to listen to me." Alex took a long breath, "I grew up with neglected parents, they ignored me until my sixth birthday, and they one left on that birthday, the remaining one stayed but did nothing to comfort me, she watched me cry, she did nothing but ignore me, but like the other parent, she left as well. I was ten when she left, that day I met Vicky, she took me in, I believed it was best just to end everything, I believed no one loved me…But then Vicky came along, and then I started to think life was worth living, and then I met you two I thought more and more. Vicky…Is the reason I am here, because of her I saw that people can kind, and people make mistakes…So, because of her, I'm not going to hate my parents that left me, I'm going to forgive them." Alex smiled.

A few minutes went by and Vicky said, "Alex and I are in the same boat, without one or another, we would have did something bad…Because of him, I learned to calm down with the…Messed up things I do, I stopped being mean because of him, you two can piece together the rest." Vicky brought her knees up to her chin and rested her head on them.

Alex walked past Timmy and Tootie, and sat beside Vicky and soon Tootie realized what she meant, "You two are…"

Timmy looked at the two sitting side by side, they were close, he realized. "…In love…" Timmy finished, "But that's…Wrong…" Tootie muttered quietly.

"And? I'm not stupid I know that…" Alex said.

Slowly Timmy was catching up on things, Tootie said she…Loves me? He thought and looked at her and then Alex. Timmy wasn't thinking right, but the thing with Alex and Vicky troubled him, "She's six years older than you…That's not right man." Timmy said.

"Don't you think I know that?" Alex snapped, Timmy went quiet, he was never good at telling people what they're doing is wrong. Tootie stood beside Timmy, "You see me as a sibling and her as a lover?! She's a sadistic evil woman! She doesn't love anyone but herself!" Tootie yelled, Vicky filched she's vulnerable right now anything can hurt her. Alex stood up towering over Tootie, but Tootie stared him straight in the eyes, "She. Saved me." He said firmly, Tootie was mad but she didn't really know why.

"I wouldn't do anything to separate us…I'm tall for my age, which means I can pass for an adult, but I'm smart enough to know that what we have is against the law, but I love her, I will never do anything to hurt her, if you two don't like that, then I guess friends are something I don't have." Alex sighed, "This is why I called you two, but I didn't think it would end up like this."

Tootie felt like crying, she doesn't want Alex to hate her, Timmy thought about them, "I…I'm sorry…" Timmy said and stared at the ground, Alex looked at Vicky who was still not showing her face, and then Alex looked to Timmy again, "For what?"

"For thinking this is wrong…" Timmy said spoke softly, he was now understanding something, love changes people. Slowly that was happening to him.

"Don't be…" Vicky finally spoke, her voice ragged, "I know it is…Everyone does." Vicky looked up at everybody, her eyes red with tears coming down the sides of her cheek. "This is why I never wanted anyone else to find out…They all always think it's wrong, what wrong about it? Age isn't that important! Some say love comes in a shapes and sizes, so why are you against this Tootie? So you can finally get back at me for being such a bitch to you? If you want me to apologize, I will…"

Tootie stared at Vicky, "I loved you even though you were mean to me, you never hurt me…But hearing what you did you Timmy did hurt me. But not accepting what you two have will hurt Alex and I don't want that, and I don't want my big sister to go through any more pain…" Tootie smiled, "I don't want the one person who helped me through so much, hate me. So I don't care about that it's wrong, you two love each other, I won't stand in your way…Although I probably couldn't have done anything."

For five minutes they were quiet, but the shyest one spoke, "I'm glad you told me to come. Now that I know I wasn't the only one who had it bad, I feel better, I finally have someone to talk to about this stuff." Timmy glanced at Tootie, she smiled. "Me too…" and then she said, "I won't tell anyone about you two."

Timmy promised as well, and then Alex sat down sighing heavily, "My head hurts." And then he laughed, "I never thought it would take such a dramatic turn, heh.- ow!" Tootie hit Alex on the arm, "That was a pretty big secret, you shouldn't take it so lightly."

For once Vicky laughed, "Yup, that's my sister…"

I was never good with third POV's I never understood them that much, but I tried, this came to me pretty easy, hopefully this is good enough.

Thanks for reading! I hope you all have an awesome day!
