One Week changes everything || TobyxReader

[Y/n's POV]

I woke up in the middle of the night. Those stupid nightmares were going to be the death of me. I decided to check my phone. 5AM, great. At least I got to bed early that night. I woke up from my bed and threw a hoodie on. As I went to the kitchen to have a quick smoke and watch some videos to entertain myself, I realised I had an unopened message on Instagram, and it was from that guy Toby.
Yesterday I got so busy I didn't get out of the house anymore, and I fell asleep around 10PM, so I didn't check on any socials.

As I let the time run, I decide I could reply to him. I mean, it's past 5:30 in the morning, no one in their right mind would be awake at this hours.
I open the chat, a little bit nervous about his message. The screen shows a dark blue light as the chat bubble pops up "Hi! It's Toby! How are you?^^" I clicked the <accept message> button, thinking about maybe looking through his profile to find more about him.
"Hey, sorry, I fell asleep lmao. I'm good, hbu?" I replied, quickly clicking on his profile.

"So he's 19, huh?" I say on a whisper, lighting another cigarette. His page didn't have that many pictures, and most of the posts were about trees and nature, but somehow he had a ton of followers. Maybe he's one of those who ask everyone for their socials after all. <<he's a creep>> <<hurt yourself>> <<hurt him>>. I shook my head trying to get the voices to shut up for a moment, the anti psychotics really didn't work at all.

And as i was about to get up from my chair and start getting ready for the day, a notification came in. "Haha don't worry. Glad to see u ok! I'm tired as hell". Now who the fuck is up at almost 6 in the morning and has the energy to talk? "Dude did you sleep at all?" I didn't know what else to say at this point. I wasn't expecting him to reply that fast.

I threw my phone away,getting ready to take a shower, forgetting about him for a while. He was weird. But it also made me wonder where the fuck he came from or why he got interested on me.

Once I finished showering and dressing up, I recovered my phone from the kitchen table. It was 6:30, time to make some breakfast. I wanted some toast with avocado and maybe an egg, luckily enough I got some avocados yesterday. I would've cried if I couldn't eat them today.  As I waited for the toasts to be ready, I got my headphones and went to see if my friend was awake. And there it was, a reply from Toby, from 10 minutes ago.  "No, I didn't sleep. In fact I just got home, my job sometimes requires for night shifts :)" At least he has a job, I thought. Maybe he wasn't that much of a creep. "Poor u, I'm getting ready to school but it's still early" I typed, was it too much to tell him what I'm doing? As I debated between sending the message or not, I noticed my toasts were starting to get burnt. Amazing. Just amazing.

Once I finished with my burnt toast, I thought it could be nice to keep talking with Toby. At least I'd be entertained for the next hour before school. So I pressed the send button. Almost instantly I got a reply. "When do you have to be there?". I raised a brow as I looked at the text, why the fuck does he want to know that? Is he planning to do something bad?. <<you're gonna die>> <you messed up>>.  I turned my music on, putting it as loud as I could to see if I could get them to shut up. "I enter around 8, why?" "Just wanted to know, maybe we can hang out for a while" "Now? Are u crazy? You should be sleeping" "It's fine, I can't do It rn anyways. I'll wait outside for you if you change your mind".

"This bitch is definitely a creep" I thought, looking at the text. But what could happen? We live on a small place, I don't think he's gonna hurt me right?. "Y'know what? Ok" I replied, getting my stuff ready. I messaged my friend, telling her what I was doing just in case.

I went outside, just to see him already there, with the same hoodie and mask on he was wearing yesterday.  So I took a deep breath and went with him.

Even if at first it was kinda awkward, we actually got along pretty well. And apparently we have a lot of stuff in common. He was so nice, too. In the end we exchanged phone numbers and he also drove me to school because I was running late, just as always.
A while after he dropped me,I get a message from an unknown number. "Hey, it's Toby, I am going to take a big nap now. Have fun with your classes! :)". I smiled a little bit, making my friend notice what was happening. "Holly shit is that the grocery guy?" She asked, and you could see she was getting excited by it. "Yes, he is. He's very nice, but I don't understand why he covers his face?" "Y/n, people have insecurities, maybe he doesn't like his teeth or something like that. But anyways tell me more, I can't believe you got someone!" 
And that was my day. I had evening classes so I couldn't do almost anything on Tuesdays.

Right after class I went for a drink with my friend in hopes we'd see Toby. But there was no luck, he was probably still sleeping or getting ready for his Night Shift. I was very curious about this job of his, I don't know why.
Once we finished, my friend dropped me off at home. It was around 8:30, but I was so tired I didn't care about anyone anymore. I got changed and went to bed not thinking about Toby or calling mom .Stupid me didn't know what was coming her way.
