"What happened a few minutes ago was- really weird. Like- who hides bodies in fridges?? You're supposed to dispose of them properly. Not keep them as a trophy. " Jackson thought to himself.
Jennifer showed him around the house after the 'incident'. Jennifer didn't know where exactly to hide a body, despite the massive forest surrounding her house. So, she stuffed them in her refrigerator.
Jennifer showed him to his room. Jackson was tired, confused, and hungry. He slowly walked towards the bed and fell onto it. Jenn left him to do whatever. Jackson eventually fell asleep, in a seemingly uncomfortable position. While Jackson was sleeping, Jennifer was busy fixing her Sledgehammer.
"I think I might've overreacted to Jackson noticing the bodies... and him breaking my Sledgehammer-" Jennifer admits. Hours pass and Jennifer slowly begins to get tired as well. She calls it a night and examines her work, "Wow, that turned out pretty good!"
She only duct-taped the Sledgehammer's head back onto the handle.
Jennifer hops on the couch and passes out. The next morning, Jennifer is awakened by a stray kid. She jumps and screams at the top of her lungs, waking up Jackson. Who quietly observes from a distance.
"Hiiiiiii." The kid waves at Jennifer. Jennifer nervously waves back at the kid,
"How did you get in here?"
"The door was unlocked" The kid gestures towards the door behind him.
Jennifer slowly gets up from the couch, opens the door, and sternly tells the kid to get out. This kid was in dire need of a place to stay, "Please, I don't have anywhere to go." Jennifer refused. Jackson attempted to convince Jennifer to let them stay, "He's just a kid, Jenn. Let him stay."
"I promise I won't be of much trouble!" They promised her. She eventually gave in.
"So, what's your name?" Jackson asked.
"J-Jamie" They responded, avoiding eye contact with Jackson. "Nice to meet you, Jamie!" Jackson reached his hand out to try to shake Jamie's hand. Jamie nervously shakes Jackson's hand. "I'm just gonna go chill outside or something." Jamie walked towards the door, he opens it and trips on the doorframe
"BVJSVBSH" Jamie exclaims as he fell to the ground.
"Oh my gosh, Jamie, are you ok?" Jackson rushes to his aid. "I'm fine-" Jamie gets up and brushes off his pants and proceeded towards a tree and sits underneath it.
