Chapter 16

   I could see that Chica didn't expect my question in her grin, was I too direct? I didn't mean to sound rude, but even so, I want to hear an answer.

   "What do you mean, Bonnie?" Chica asked back.

   "Yeah, do you have any idea where Freddy was built?" I said.

   "I'm sorry, Bonnie. Freddy has been my boss and friend for a long time, basically since the day I'm in this pizzeria, but I didn't mind of trying to know more about his past, at least more about him before I met him. I could tell you about what he likes, or his hobbies, but I don't know where he was built," she explained.

   "Oh, that's a shame," I said looking down.

   "But seriously, if there's something you want to know about Freddy, you can ask me," she said putting her hand on my shoulder.

   "Thanks, Chica," I said smiling, "I will."

   "Ok, so... I don't know if you'd like to go to sleep some more while the pizza is ready for breakfast," Chica said while she was closing the oven.

   "I guess I will, I still feel tired because of the last night," I said smiling a little.

   "Yeah, beautiful night, huh," she used that tone again. "It's ok, this pizza will be ready soon, so don't get a long dream."

   "Ok, thanks!" I said while leaving the kitchen.

   "You're welcome."

   I decided to go to my room, just to think how I'm gonna know the truth about Freddy, I tried not to show an expression that says more than all the words she told me, but also she was nervous and acting weird when answering to my question, which made me think that she was lying, that could mean that Chica knows the truth about Freddy's past, it's frankly impossible that all this time they've been working together, they haven't known each other; in the gather of last night, they were playing and talking as good and close friends, so I'm not ok with that answer, I will figure it out somehow.

   I was sat down on the edge of my bed with my arms on my knees looking down, trying to get rid of this desperate urge of knowing the truth, the longer I'm alone the worse I feel about it, I'm just thinking about that little Freddy and my boss, which is so... I mean... him. Oh! I'm done! I quickly got up to take a peek to all the rooms: it seems that Chica is still cooking; Foxy's cove is closed, and so Freddy's room. Chica told me that today was Sunday; I guess Freddy will wake up later. With this urging doubt, I sneaky walked across from my room toward Freddy's room. I'm not sure if I will be able to find something useful in his room, but I will try to find something anyway.

   I can hear Freddy snoring, which means that he's still asleep. Perfect! I will get to look for something. I slowly opened the door of Freddy's room just to take a peek, his room looks like all the walls of the pizzeria: with a sort of short groove with red edges and its center like chess game and the rest of it light grey. Freddy was lying on his bed turned at his bathroom, with his back to me, I just see his head sticking out from his blankets, he snores kind of louder once one gets inside. Ok, stop thinking and focus! I finally got inside his room; it seems that he's still sleeping. There is, at the left side of his bed, a little drawer like mine; there's where I keep the most important thing for me, like the daisy and my guitar pick. I slowly started to walk toward that drawer, but I was feeling so scared of getting closer, what would I do if Freddy wakes up and sees me in his room without permission?, he would kill me! I'm in front of the drawer, I'm just too close to Freddy, I hear 'im snore louder, but even staying this close when I shouldn't be, I carefully opened it as quiet as I could. There are a lot of papers, files, knickknacks; I didn't find anything useful, not even a picture. In that moment Freddy turned around looking at me, but he's still asleep, I feel like I'm going to throw up my heart all over his face. As he moved, I froze my whole body and widen my eyes just to make sure he doesn't wake up, it seems he is still asleep. I kept searching for something, and this time I found a yellow file, like the one that Hippo found in MoonLight: it doesn't have relevant information, but I did find a picture, one with Freddy and a kind of female animatronic in a shape of a fox, I turned around the picture and I saw a sign.

" ❤ FF & FF ❤"

" ❤ Together forever ❤ "

   I don't know who's FF, but I do know who's FF. I thought Freddy had never had a relationship, but it seems that he did have, and with a girl who's not a bear. Obviously FF is for Freddy Fazbear, she probably left this picture to him. I wouldn't buy the fact that this perfect calligraphy was Freddy's. I felt my heart in my throat again about to spit it out. Calm down! You have to get out of here! I left the picture in its place and I closed the drawer, but I intentionally closed it harder, which made a loud noise, loud enough to wake Freddy up. Freddy breathed deeply and stretched his arms up, looking around, but he stopped in the moment he saw me in the middle of his room.

   "Bonnie!" Freddy said hoarsely, "what are you doing here?"

   "I..." I said hoarsely too.

   I had no idea what to answer, I wanted to flee and think that this never happened, practically to get out of the pizzeria.

   "When did you get here?" he asked puzzled.

   "It's uhh... I wanted to know if... if.. y-y... you d-don't h... h-have m-my.. guitar pick!" I asked stuttering.

   "Uhh... No, I haven't seen it," Freddy said, also stuttering.

   "Oh, ok, them... I'm going back to my room," I said pointing to the door, "sorry fo-for bother you, I promise not to do it again."

   "Bonnie, wait," Freddy said while sitting on his bed, "don't go. Wait, please."

   As I heard Freddy asking me to wait, I turned around to him frowning about to cry, but I fortunately didn't.

   "Are you ok? Did... did I say something?" Freddy asked softly.

   I calmed down with that soft voice he has, so I could answered in a better way.

   "No, don't worry, it's ok."

   "Ok?..." he replied unsure. "Hey, I was wondering... Do you think we could talk, you know, you and me alone? Not now, but later."

   "Yeah, we sure can," I replied nervous, "just tell me when."

   "Ok, I'll tell you when."

   "Well... I think I'm gonna go now," I said walking back to the door.

   "Sure, and don't worry about this, just please knock the next time."

   "Yeah," I said with my eyes closed and blushed. "See you in breakfast."

   "Ok." I heard him when I closed the door behind me.

   I'm really confused about the reaction of Freddy when he saw me in his room. Did he buy what I said? I wouldn't have even bought my stupid lie, but this was different, it also looked like Freddy was the one who was in my room, he was as ashamed as I was. Chica is still cooking, but after what I just saw, I'm not feeling hungry, I don't know why that picture is making me feel like this, I can't let anyone see me like this. I wiped my tears and I got to my room, crying silently; when I saw that, I felt like an arrow would have crossed through my heart, only if I really have one, because of the fact that I'm a robot. Hopefully no one's going to hear me cry for someone I don't even love. I'm not gay! I'm not gay! I don't like Freddy!

   Do I?
