Comments on the previous chapter really made me happy, please continue commenting~! Nothing is stopping you from it, alright? Just choose your words properly when...I don't know...forgot the word. My head isn't working, I'm sorry. [Day 2 of writing: I meant criticism.]
Anyway~! Hope you guys like this chapter, if not, love it then! :) SHOUT OUT TO SapphireArcher!
"HIT IT GUYS!" A girl shouted before the lights turned on. It cleared everyone's vision and they saw: a banne, sweets, and the..."CREEPYPASTAS!" All of the guests shouted before waving with a smile on their faces.
"Happy birthday to you~ Happy birthday to you~ Happy birthday, happy birthday....HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!"
They all shouted and flipped the sweets towards the birthday girl. Vannah-chan raised a finger and opened her mouth to complain but failed to do so as she just facepalmed. "HOW OLD ARE YOU NOW~" "How old are you...now.."
"HOW FUCKING OLD ARE YOU NOW. YOU BETTER KNOW THAT SHIT."
....Everyone sighs. Everybody looks toward a certain killer, who was eating a slice of the cake. Jeff looked at them back and shrugged. "What? She better knows it."
"GODDAMMIT! ON WITH THE CHAPTER!"
"Happy birthday!" Vannah-chan waves. "Hope you like this story!" (And sorry if it's really late.)

Chapter 12: Have Fun For Now
"But for now, have fun." Slenderman & Elliot
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Tears just started dripping down your face and your legs started moving on its own accord. Suddenly, you were in Jeff's arm, crying on his shoulder and sniffing his scent. Jeff's eyes widened a little before reluctantly hugging you, dipping his face on your hair while smiling widely. You hiccup and sniff, letting go of him as he did the same. You looked at him, glaring weakly as ever.
"Don't ever do that again!"
Jeff smiled. "You just met me and that's what you say?"
You frown. "Well what do you want?! 'At least you're alive!'?!"
Jeff laughed and hugged you again. He kisses your head lightly and inhales your scent, grinning. "Well, I might've said that until you said it." You laugh, shaking your head as you continue crying on his shoulder. His jackets started to become wet but he needn't care about that. All the Creepypastas were grinning, smiling or either frowning upon the affectionate display.
"OH PISH POSH! Let's celebrate!"
(If you had read properly, "An hour passed and all of you were back at the house, relaxing yet the atmosphere was tense."--"We stopped at Theo's house..."-they aren't in their mansion anymore. It got burned down.)
Theo groaned at the idea of celebrating. It wasn't because he was hurt, well, maybe that's a part of the reason too, but because it was his house. His house for god's sake. Savannah laughed and you smile at her, letting go of Jeff. She hugs Jeff too and whispered something. Jeff smiled and nodded, whispering another whisper back. Savannah nodded and went off to help Theo, who was jumping with the help of the crutches. You looked around, noticing you actually hadn't....introduced. Although it seems like everybody knows you.
"Um..." You started to speak up. At first no one noticed you, since BEN was waving his arms and shouting like a maniac but you coughed and tried again.
"Um!"
They all looked at you this time. They were staring at you, waiting for you to speak as you have already caught their attention. You blushed at the greatness of the attention focused on you. Jeff was looking at you fondly, which just added more to your blush. You coughed, trying to ignore your warm cheeks.
"I...I thank you guys. Thank you so much. E-Even though I always thought you guys were fiction, this just makes me a whole lot happier. Thank you so much. I-I can't even repay you guys for what you did."
They all looked at one another, as if sharing the same looks. They looked at you. Jeff smiled and held out his hand.
"You don't need to."
Tears started to flow down from your eyes again and you stretched out your hand towards his. Slowly and gently, it finally reached his as Jeff gripped on your hand, smiling. He hugs you, whispering encouraging words as you broke down again. Slender an looked at the two of you while everybody was partying already. He sighs and went towards you, calling the attention of Jeff. Jeff looked back and smiled, hugging the taller man. Slenderman was shocked and even flinched at the affection. You laugh and soon joined in. Slenderman chuckles and hugs both of you.
Slenderman looked at Jeff. "I need to talk to you," he looks at you and you nod, understanding. You let go of the taller man and went to the others, who were already baking, cooking and doing stuff for the party. Jeff rose an eyeridge, tilting his head in curiousness. Slenderman sighs again and looked down at him-and he seems to be frowning-Jeff wondered why.
"Let's go outside, please."
Jeff nodded and went outside. Slenderman followed suit.
By the time they were outside, Jeff crossed his arms. "What is it?"
"I...I can bring back her memories, you do know that right?"
Jeff's arms fell and his shoulder slumped. Yes, he had knew about that. But he didn't want Slenderman using that, it would cost...a life. His life to be exact.
"I can just let her reme--"
"It will take you time. And time is precious, Jeff, you might lose her."
Jeff stared at him with disbelief. Not the fact that bullshit time thing, but he, the great fucking faceless Slenderman wants to risk his life on his beloved. He didn't want that. He could just regain her memories by going to familiar places. Yes, he knew it would take him time. And yes, there was a risk another so-called 'villain' would take her. But that would be a risk he'll have to take. He knew that. But the thought of Slenderman going to risk his life was just...
Hell. To. The. No.
Jeff coughed. "Still no, Slendy. Wasting time just to regain her memories is worth while."
Slenderman sighs. "Jeff, do you not want her to remember your wedding? So you two can just be happy again? She might have a crush on you, but what if it changes? You don't know for sure, maybe she will change."
"She is my change."
Slenderman walked back towards the door and opened it, looking back towards Jeff. "But are you her change?"
Jeff gulped, he doesn't know. Yeah, the girl could have a crush on him but what if it changes? And when it changes overtime, the wedding will be canceled. Forever. He does not want that. But then again, he does not want Slenderman getting to risk his life for __________. Slenderman stared at him since he knew the killer was thinking. Thinking deeply this time. Slenderman sighs again, shaking his head. Risk is a funny thing for them, like how Slenderman risked to leave them to fight too the bad men.
Ugh, they weren't children anymore. "Bad men"? Seriously? Those fucking shitty bastards is what they meant.
"I'll give you time to think," Slenderman looked at the window and towards ________, who was laughing to LJ's joke, which wasn't surprising at all. Slenderman looked back at him. "And hurry up, time is as precious as gold." He went back in, leaving the killer to think to himself. It was weird. Weird for him to be thinking so deeply. Too deeply. Choosing over two special people in his life. Slenderman was like his...his father. And now, _________, is his love in his life.
But for now, have fun.
He nodded and went inside, being greeted by ________. She was smiling, holding two cake in hands. Blushing, she stretches out her hand to him and looks away, pouting for what reason....he doesn't know. Well, maybe he did know. Accepting the cake being given, he gives a smile, which made the girl blush more red this time. Up to her ears. Jeff chuckles, tasting the cake and grinning at the delicious taste of the cake.
Yes, he'll have fun for now.
{~Time Skip~}
The next day, you found yourself on a bed, with blankets on you and your arm hugging a pillow.
Or was it a pillow?
You groaned, trying not to think early in the morning. Your grip on the 'pillow' tightened and it moved. Your eyes tried to open quickly, but instead, it opened slowly with such a pace of a turtle. At least, that's what it seemed like. You saw black and white. Blinking a few times and rubbing your eyes, you finally saw the clear vision of it. Or...of him. Your face looked like it had been bombed with cherry blasters. The arm that you had draped over his chest was quickly withdrawn to your side as you sit up quickly. You felt your face, feeling the warm ness of your face. You look back at him, gulping and shrieked a little when she saw that the man was up and about.
Jeff rose an eyebrow, smirking. "Well, you're up early,"
You blush, nodding. "Uh, well....my body seemed to wake up on its own."
Jeff chuckles and nodded. He sits up beside you and kisses your forehead. "How did you sleep? Good?" He asked, quickly pulling away, realizing that you weren't familiar with his affections for you at all. He frowned, but tried up a smile as he looked at your crimson face. You nodded and added, "Yes. Very much."
He smiles and pats your head, getting up. "Well, better make breakfast for the others. I'm sure they aren't awake yet," Jeff looks at the clock above, which Clockwork had put up in all the rooms. You nod and looked down, your face red beet. Your hand unconsciously reached out for him, gripping his t-shirt suddenly. He was caught by surprise on the gesture and looked back.
"Yes, _________?"
"I-I'll cook with you..."
He chuckles and nods.
"Get dressed. There's clothes in my closet that will fit you, alright? I'll wait for you downstairs in five minutes."
You nod and he walked away, walked out the door. You quickly move to his closet, looking for something good to wear. And no, it wasn't to impress him or anything at all. You blush at the thought and shook your head, grabbing a sleeveless shirt and jeans that looked like it'd fit you. Opening the lower drawer, your blush came back full on, slowly closing the drawer as you coughed like nothing happened. It was embarrassing, really.
You came down, just in time to see him arranging the cooking materials and ingredients. He looks at your red face, raising an eyebrow at you. You shook your head and went to the sink, washing your hands before looking at the counter where he placed the ingredients you two will cook. Looking through it, you frown. It was so many. It was like one food will be given to one each of the creepypastas. And those Creepypastas were many, you knew that. As you looked back at him, he was washing his hands.
"The others went to their respective home. Only the ones who had lived in the mansion are here." It was like he read your mind. Out of nowhere, you asked for the time. He looked back at the clock and closed the faucet. "It's seven."
You nodded slowly and grabbed a fish. A cod fish. "I want to do a fillet..." Deciding that all of them will just have to eat fish (and maybe an exception to the others like EJ), you grabbed another fish.
Jeff rose another eyebrow, confused all of a sudden. "Huh? Why?"
"Too lazy to tell it to you." You tease, grabbing a frying pan from a cabinet and grinned.
"Tell it to me later then." Jeff stated, grinning at the idea.
"Yeah, yeah, just help me with these fried fish." You nodded and washed the fish. He looked for a knife and finally did, gripping on it tightly. You laugh and he have it to you as you cut the two equally into four pieces. You made a coating for it; one beaten egg with milk for it. You made sure all of the pieces was coated. Jeff switches the stove on, and you put the frying pan onto it. He grabs a cooking oil and poured it in the frying pan, stopping when you touched his wrist. The killer looks towards you.
"That's fine now." You smiled. He nods.
You put the fishes in the pan and it sizzled, making Jeff back away a little. But you stood there in front while he started an adventure to find a metal spatula. Finally, after a while, he found one and gave it to you, grinning in such a proud way. Rolling your eyes, you smile back, turning the fish upside down so it would cook the other part well too. You two did theses, switching positions at a time.
Finally, it looked cooked and Jeff put it in a plate. You smile at it, proud that it hadn't burned. That made you laugh and made Jeff confused at your laugh.
"Oooooh! I can smell fish~"
"Hmm...?"
You two looked back and saw Savannah guiding a sleepy Theo to go down the stairs. You went up to them and helped too, noticing it was hard for Theo to go downstairs with only Savannah helping him to. Savannah suddenly hugged you, which almost made Theo fell but as he clutched on his crutches, he glared at Savannah.
"Nya~Can I please have a piece?"
You laugh and hug back, shrugging. "I-I guess it's alright.." You answered, before looking back to see Jeff snatched the whole plate and frowned at the cat girl. You laugh again. Jeff put it higher, not wanting to give Savannah (and maybe Theo) a piece of the fish. Suddenly, you jumped and snatched it, and thankfully, it didn't fall as you throw one piece to Savannah, who happily caught it with her mouth. "Thaaaaaaank youuuuuuuuuuu~meow~"
You look at Theo, who looked like he wanted one. Throwing another fish, he caught it in time, though horribly. You smile.
The two cats went to the living room, their tails swaying happily.
You look back at Jeff, who was crossing his arms with a pout.
"Wow, she really--well, more like they really are cats." Your eyes widened at your familiar statement. He looks at you, confused as to why you stopped talking. You dismiss it, shrugging and smiling reassuringly towards the killer. A flashback happened.
(Book 2, Chapter 7: Laziness)
You laughed. And snatched the fish as you threw it, getting the attention of the girl as she chases it. "Thaaaaaaaaank youuuuuu, meow~"
Jeff laughed.
"Wow, she is a cat."
"Hey, ________? You okay?"
You blink a few times, turning to him and you smile. Shrugging one shoulder, you nodded, still confused about the dream--at least you think so--in broad daylight. Sighing, he nodded back, grabbing your hand as he pulled you towards the two awake cats. You sat down next to him as he stared intently towards the two, waiting for them to finish eating. Noticing such glare, you look at him and lean close to him, whispering, "D-Do you like Savannah?"
He looks at you, making that disgusted face.
Savannah's ears perked up as she turns towards you. "Ew no."
Jeff laughed and high-fived her. Savannah fist bump his high-five, since her hands was oily from the fish. Theo nudged Savannah, who looked at him with raised eyebrow. Theo out his hands up to show his oily hands and the bones of the fish. Savannah puckered her lips but nodded.
"C'mon now. Stand up."
Theo did as Savannah helped him as they went to the kitchen. They washed their hands and went back to the living room. Jeff coughed as soon as they were back. The three of you looked at the infamous killer. Jeff smiled towards you and you thought that you needed to leave to have their 'private talk' but Jeff grasped your hand and gripped it tightly. He muttered, "Stay here."
You blush but nod, sitting back down again.
"Look, Theo, I'm sorry." Jeff said suddenly, which made you confused. Theo sighed but smiled back towards the killer, sitting up properly. "It's alright, Jeff. It isn't your fault."
Jeff nodded, but he didn't really believe that.
Theo narrowed his blue orbs to Jeff. "But have you decided yet...?"
At first, Jeff didn't really understand. What would he decided anyway? Until the memories from last night hit him like a brick. He slumped in his seat, groaning. Right, he needed to decide but seriously? He just wanted to have fun for now. Sure, he can make _________'s memories come back! but that'll take months. Years even. And they were all anxious about the wedding, all of them. He gulped.
"I don't know. I'm not sure."
"If I were you, I'd let Slenderman do it."
Jeff's eyes turned dark as he stood up. "Why would you?! He took care of since I was fourteen!" He shouted and you gasp, gripping his hand tightly, telling him to stop. "He's like my father!" He added and his eyes turned back to its original shade of blue and he sat back down, gripping back your hand tightly. "He....he...he can't die."
"He won't."
Jeff narrowed his eyes. "How are you so sure?"
Theo opened his mouth a few times. But silence followed after. Finally, he answered with a sigh. "I...I just....I trust him," He spoke, turning his head towards you. "I trust him to take care of ________...and us." Jeff's eyes softened. Still, there was a high possibility Slenderman would die. And such risk, he can't do that. Jeff couldn't. He just couldn't.
"W-Wait a minute...what are y-you guys talking about? Me? I didn't think I'd be so important. I mean, I'm only a normal girl with psychotic parents." You laugh at your statement, bitter and sweet.
"You used to be. Minus the psychotic parents."
"Wait, what?" You looked at him, bewildered.
He sighs. Savannah sighs. Theo sighs. Well, all of them sighed. The three shared the same look, and finally, Jeff nodded before his mouth opened. "Let's have fun for now."
Theo and Savannah looked at him weirdly, as if it wasn't what he was supposed to say. And yes it was. It wasn't supposed to be what he had said. He was supposed to say the truth.
You cross your arms, pouting. "Ready whenever you are."
"It's not like that. Give me one week, _______."
You sighed. "Fine."

A pair for eyes glowed green like a cat's. It seemed to grin widely as he looked over to a familiar house.
"I'll get you...Jeffrey."
His mouth quirked downwards in a frown.
"But for now, have fun." He left.
