It was midnight. (I'm like obsessed with it being midnight...) Liu was sitting anxiously on the porch. He noticed Jeff who had just gotten back from getting his kills.
It was still fucking raining.
Jeff was a bloody, soaking wet mess. He noticed Liu and called for him. Liu called back, letting Jeff know he was there.
"What are you doing out here?" Jeff asked walking onto the porch, removing his squishy, wet hood.
"Jeff, I don't know how I could be so stupid!" Liu cried. He was actually crying. Crying and shaking. Jeff knew this was serious. Liu only acted this way for a certain reason.
"Liu, calm down. What happened?" Jeff comforted. Liu took a deep breathe and a few looks in the direction Jeff came from.
"It's Jack! Eyeless Jack? The only other kid in the house? He's like family to us, Jeff. And I just realized he hasn't been in the house." Liu pleaded.
Holy shit. Jeff had completely forgot about Eyeless Jack! And now he's missing? Oh, hell no. Jeff tried to calm Liu down but he was being too hysterical.
Then Liu froze.
"JACK!" Liu cried. A short distance away Eyeless Jack was seen removing his hood and putting his knife in his jacket pocket.
Liu ran out and immediately wrapped his arms around jack. Soon after hugging, he smacked jack on the back of the head. Jack whined.
"What was that for?!" Jack protested.
"For making me worry!"
"I didn't make you do shit."
"Get inside."
"Actually I--"
"Now."
Jack hung his head as he dragged himself into the house. Jeff followed, Liu shortly after.

"Have you lost your fucking mind, Eyeless Jackson?!" Liu screamed. Jeff's eyes widened and a grin crept across his face. Liu rarely got this mad. Whenever he did Jeff loved it. He's not one to really cuss and yell but when he did it was entertaining.
"What's your deal, Liu? I'm back, aren't I? Plus, I got my kills for the whole time I was gone." Jack smirked.
"You weren't here, is the point."
"But I'm here now!"
"Yeah, you showed up right after I had a heart attack!"
"Well it seems you forgot about me until now!"
Liu didn't have a response to that. You could see the black substance that substituted for Jack's tears fill up his eyes. He quickly grabbed his mask and put it on while running up the stairs, bumping into Sally on the way.
"What's wrong with Zack?" Sally asked, finishing her trio down the stairs and flailing herself over the couch.
"Jack." Jeff corrected.
"No, I'm Sally."
"No, that was Jack, Sally."
"what? But my names Sally. He has two first names."
"Sally...that guy was Jack. His name is jack."
"Oh..."
Liu sighed in annoyance. Jeff sat next to him and patted his shoulder. Liu had no intentions to actually make jack Feel forgotten. He just wanted to show he cared. But doing that in this house is hard.
"Want me to talk to him?" Sally suggested.
"Sally, hun-- no. You--"
"I'm gonna talk to him." Sally was already halfway up the stairs. Liu didn't really try to stop her. Hell, he'd let her try.
______(BTW these are time skips.)
Sally gently knocked on the door. From the other side she could her sobbing. But the kind of denying sobbing that somebody did to seem tough. Sally knocked again.
The sobbing stopped.
She knocked once more.
"Go away." Jack called.
"No."
"Who is that?"
Sally creaked open the door.
"I'm Sally." She greeted.
"I know."
"Can we talk?" Sally fully entered the room and shut the door.
"What's there to talk about?"
"I know you're mad. I hate when I get mad." Sally twisted her lips. Jack hummed. She cartwheeled over to jack and climbed on his bed.
They were quiet. Much like how her and Diane talked.
"How old are you?" Sally broke the silence; like always.
"14."
"I'm 6."
"Cool."
"Not really."
"What do you mean?"
Sally toyed with her bears arms.
"I mean.. Everyone treats me like I don't matter. Like I'm just a stupid kid. I feel invisible sometimes." Sally spoke softly. Her voice wasn't as joyful and happy as it would usually be, but this time it was sad and depressed.
Jack completely understood how she felt. He never thought he'd relate to somebody younger than him, though.
"I know how you feel, kid. But sometimes you gotta push through." Jack said. Sally looked at him and gasped. Confused, jack stood up and walked over to his mirror. Black substance was oozing off his chin. Sally watched curiously as Jack fumbled all over to clean himself off, removing his mask.
"What's that black stuff?" Sally asked. Jack froze before smirking. He walked over to sally and punched her in her arm hard. Sally squeaked in pain and tears filled her eyes.
"There? See?" Jack said, sitting and pointing to her eyes.
"Why'd you do that?" Sally sniffled.
"To prove a point. You see what's in your eyes?"
"My tears?"
"Yes. This black stuff is like my tears." Jack explained. Sally wiped her eyes and hummed.
"Oh, I get it."
"Yeah. I don't cry it just kinda comes out. Like for reputation."
"What's repetition?"
"Reputation."
"Oh..."
They were quiet.
"You know Sally? I like you." Jack complimented pulling Sally into a noogie. Sally laughed and pushed herself away.
"I like you too, Jack. But you hit me again and I'll cut you." Sally treated, quickly flashing her pocket knife hidden in her bear. Jack smirked being impressed.
Sally smirked back...
