Chapter 17


"(Y/n)... wake up"
I opened my eyes to see Jeff sitting in front of me. I yawned and rubbed my eyes "what time is it?". "4 in the afternoon..". I immediately jumped up and fell off the bed "what!". "You sure sleep alot damn"

Jeff stood up and gave me a hand. I reach for it and stand up "why didn't you wake me up sooner!". "Trust me I tried". I sighed "why didn't you leave?". "I had to make sure you were still alive" he says, putting his hands in his pockets. "Aw that's so sweet-". "So that I can kill you myself". "Oh.."
Jeff laughed "why the long face? It was just a joke". "I hate you and your stupid jokes". I grabbed my pillow and threw it on his face. "Anyway.. I need to get to the store and do some groceries" I say, walking to my wardrobe. "With what money?". I looked at Jeff "my mom keeps money in her room.. I'll just use that and pay her back". He nods "okay princess.. I'll get going now but don't get too comfortable, I'll be back" Jeff says and jumps out of the window. "For crying out loud Jeff.. The window is not for!- you know what, why do I even bother". I walk to the window and look outside, seeing no trace of the male. "Okay he's gone" I close my window and take a shower.

After I finished, I went downstairs to eat some breakfast. I sat down with a big bowl of cereal and grabbed my phone, scrolling through some posts. After a while I received a message from an unknown number. I opened the message and dropped my phone on the ground "Wtf!". The messages were disturbing pictures of body parts. I normally don't pay attention to unknown numbers and block them immediately but this is just sick. Who would do such a thing! You must be a real sicko to do something like that. I grabbed my phone, wanting to block the number but instead I replied. Which was probably not a good idea.

"Is this some kind of a sick prank!"

I placed my phone down and got up, heading to the sink. Not even a minute went by till I received a text again. I felt nauseous, my stomach was aching. I opened the message and felt a sharp pain in the stomach after receiving another picture but of me and Jeff sleeping next to each other. "What the hell! This is from last night". "Who are you!" I replied and not getting an answer to my question but another picture. This time, the person stood closer to the bed as the picture was from close up. I immediately blocked the number "there's no way...". I shivered in fear, knowing there was someone or something out there stalking me. What should I do? Should I report this? Now I'm scared of being alone and it's not like I have somewhere to go. I have no choice but to wait till Jeff comes back, like it or not. I sighed and remembered, I still need to do groceries.

I went upstairs in my mom's room, grabbing some money. I still felt uneasy, so I grabbed a taser aswell and put it in my purse. Just to be safe. I leave the house, locking the door and head to the store. As I arrive, I saw a flyer hanging on the wall outside. I take a look and recognize the person on the flyer. It's the same boy who bothered me and Marissa that day from the park. Jeff killed him and hid his body somewhere. Maybe I should put up missing flyers since my mom hasn't returned and my friend just vanished like she never existed. I go inside the store, being kindly greeted by the cashier. I greet back and go grab the stuff I need. I go back to the cashier and put my stuff for him to scan. "Have you heard about the missing teen?" The guy asks, I nod and pay him. "It's a shame, the boy's parents are devastated.. you should be careful too.. kids are being abducted and later their bodies are being discovered". "I will thanks" I say, grabbing my stuff and leave. I know what happened to the guy but the other kids, that's a different story. Maybe I'm gonna be the next one.

I sigh and walk home. I stand in front of the door, taking my keys. But I noticed the door was already open. "Wait.. didn't I lock it.." I look back at the door and take a few steps back "Yeah no way I'm going inside". I place the stuff I bought on the ground and grab my taser out of my bag. I swallow a big lump in my throat and look at the house.

Standing outside for a few minutes, I finally found the courage to go inside. I took a deep breath and walk to the door, slowly sliding it open. I can feel the sweat rolling down my forehead. This is a bad idea but maybe the person's already gone, atleast I hope so. I carefully poked my head inside, scanning the room. I let out a sigh and go inside. I move forward as quiet as possible. My ninja mode as been activated and I feel invisible and unstoppable. After taking a few steps I felt a hand on my shoulder and immediately jump up in shock. My instincts kick in and I punch the person without seeing who it was. The person groaned in pain and started cussing. I look down to see it was Jeff. "Jeff what the hell! Why would you sneak up on me like that" I say, getting down on my knees.

"Why the hell would you even punch me!" He took my hand as I helped him up. "I thought you were an intruder!".
"I told you I'd be back didn't I?!". I sighed "I'm sorry..". "I don't forgive you but I guess I deserved that... so mind explaining what the hell you were doing? You left your stuff outside and when I came in you looked like a deformed chicken". I smacked him in the face after he insulted me like that. You can't insult me and get away with it, not on my watch. "Listen you crazy woman! If you smack me one more time I will without hesitation slit your throat" Jeff spat at me and I just rolled my eyes. "Listen, I think someone's in the house.. when I came back the door was open.. I locked it before I left"

We suddenly hear a loud bang coming from upstairs.

Jeff looked at me, putting his hands in his pockets "well that explains a lot.." he takes out his knife. "Then let's kill this fucker". I nod as he made his way to the stairs. I walk behind him and we slowly walk up the stairs. We checked the rooms but no trace of what caused the sound. "Okay then.. one more room left" Jeff says as he looks at my room. I let out a nervous laughter "okay you go first". He rolls his eyes and stands in front of the door. He carefully turns the doorknob, holding his knife ready. He then pushes the door open and stands in the room. There was no one there. I then follow behind him and look at Jeff "you think he might be hiding?". Jeff shrugged and checked my closet and under the bed "no.. all clear". I sigh and walk to the window "my window is unlocked.. he must've left through the window". "Excuse me?! That's my job!". I sighed "If it was possible to get rid of this window.. I swear I would"

I walk over to my bed and sit down, not saying anything. Jeff just stood there with his hands in his pockets.

Jeff POV
'Okay this is awkward' I rub the back of my neck, not knowing what to do or say. Girls are complicated, one wrong word and it's over. "Okay uh.. guess I'll go, you look like you need some space-" I cut myself off as I saw tears rolling down (y/n)'s eyes. What the fuck do I do now? I kill people for a living and not emotionally help people. "How could you say that! What makes you think I need space?!" (Y/n) cried, I think I shouldn't have said that. "I was just assuming-"

"Assuming Jeff?! I'm all alone.. I don't know where my mother is, I don't know where my friend is.. I have no one else! Do you really think I need space? No! I just need someone to cry on because I'm scared!"

I was left speechless, I don't know how to deal with people's emotions. "(Y/n).. I was just-"

"Just stop it! I don't expect you to understand how it feels.. I'm left here alone with some sicko out there that wants to kill me or whatever his or hers plan is.. and then there's you!"

I couldn't say anything, I didn't how to respond. My mind just went blank. She thinks I don't know how it feels to be alone. "(Y/n).." I say, calmly.

She cries even more "my whole world is crumbling to the ground.. all this happened to me when you came along!"

And there it is, getting blamed again. She continues to cry and wanting to say some more things but before she could, I walk up to the bed and sit next to her. I wrap my arm around her and pull her closer to my chest. She was calm now, her face was buried in my chest. My heart races but I try to stay calm as possible. "I'm a killer (y/n)... killing is something I've always done". She sobs and wraps her arms around me. "I'm not so good at handling situations like this so I'm sorry if this is all I can do.."

She shakes her head "no, I'm sorry.. thank you". I smile and laid down with her on top of me, still wrapped in my arms and her arms wrapped around me. "Hey Jeff? Can I ask you something". "Okay?" I say, looking at her. "Can you stay... I don't want you to go"

I think for a moment, knowing I can't do that. I sigh "just for this night?". She shakes her head 'no' "forever...". I widened my eyes and look at her sleeping figure 'what the hell she's already asleep!'. What does she mean forever, is she saying this because she's emotional right now or does she mean it.

I carefully place her on the bed and get up. I pull the blanket over her and walk up to the window. I open it and climb out but then I stop and look at her. 'Damnit! What am I supposed to do' I sigh and go back in, closing the window. I sit down, looking at her then back outside.
