Friends Til' The End

1

Hello my name is Maya Williams I am 15 years-old, I was born on April 27 2007. I have black hair that reaches the small of my back in its natural curly style. I am what some people would consider honey tone, it is kinda hard to tan or burn at least for me. I have bright blue eyes almost like the ocean, the kind that pierces your soul when you see them. I am 5'3" and own two good guy dolls. One of which is possessed by Charles Lee Ray, my grandmother got me him back in 2017 when I was ten, I've had him ever since, and the other one is named Terry I've had him for four years and he is just a plastic doll.

He makes me take him everywhere I go, so my family has gotten used to me carrying him with me. We just moved to Hackensack, New Jersey from Hicksville, Ohio. My father got relocated for work and we just arrived last week and tomorrow I start my first day at Perry middle school with Chucky.

I know that Chucky is a killer, but he promised not to touch my family. We are friends at least that's what he says 'friend 'til the end' is what he told me five years ago and we're still going strong. He goes out for a couple of hours most nights, which I let him do because I don't want him to hurt my family or myself. We came to a sort of agreement that if I carry him everywhere with me and allow him to go out at night he won't kill any of my family members. Later that day we get a knock on the door. So I grab Chucky and go open the door. It was one of the neighbours, "hello, I'm Jesse and this is my wife Carol. We just wanted to welcome you to Hackensack" Jesse said.

"I baked you some treats to welcome you. We hope that you enjoy it" Carol said, handing me a dish of what looked to be chocolate chip cookies.

"Thank you, I'm Maya and this is," I said, 'activating' Chucky's response.

"Hi, I'm Terry and I'm your friend 'til the end. Hidey-ho ha ha ha," Chucky said. Taking over the persona of my other good guy doll.

"Ha, how neat is that Jesse?" Carol Said.

"Is that a good guy doll, from the 80's?" Jesse asked.

"Yes he is. I got him a while back" I said wanting this conversation to end. "Anyways thanks for the cookies, it was really nice meeting you guys but I have to go now" I said and went back inside and closed the door before they could say anything else.

"Who was at the door sweetie?" Mom asked me.

"The neighbours. They brought over some cookies" I answered back, I put the cookies down in the kitchen before heading back up to my room with Chucky.

Once I was in my room I closed the door and turned on some music from the 80's, since Chucky said the music from now is horrible. "Whaddya want to talk about?" Chucky asked as the only time I turn on music is when I want to talk to Chucky.

"Why did you decide to change your name to Terry?" I asked.

"Well why not? Don't fret, it's most likely a one time thing" Chucky said.

"Okay Chucky" I said back. "Are you excited to start school tomorrow?" I asked.

"Not really. I hate kids, the last two weeks were heaven, no kids, late night kills, Swedish meatballs," Chucky said.

I nodded, "you do know you don't have to come" I suggested.

"I don't wanna risk you blabbing to anyone about me," Chucky said. I sighed I thought we were past this but I guess not.

"Jesus Christ Chucky, we've known each other for five years. You'd think you would trust me at least a bit by now" I said.

"Yes I've known you for five years, and in those years I was with you I saw that you can't keep your fucking mouth closed. So sorry if I don't fucking trust you not to blab about me to anyone" Chucky growled out. "If you want to back out of the deal, that's on you Doll" Chucky said. I furiously shook my head. "Well then you do as I say and take me with you" Chucky said, I nodded knowing I can't do anything.

I got up to leave the room and as I was about to open the door I heard a cough. I rolled my eyes but turned around and picked him up. I went downstairs with Chucky in my arms, I realised it was almost supper so instead of grabbing some snacks I went to the living room and turned on the 4 o'clock news.

"With the surge of bodies, Hackensack's title as one of the top ten safest cities is in jeopardy. The newest body to turn up is Megan McVey the principal of Perry Middle School. That is the tenth body to turn up in the last three weeks, the bodies just seem to keep coming. That's why we are putting a curfew on. So everyone be in your homes by 8 pm or you can and will be fined a minimum of $300. Now on to the weather" the news reporter said.

With that I turned it off. "Honey supper is done,'' dad said, so I got up, grabbed Chucky and went to the kitchen. I put Chucky in his spot and I sat right next to him. Today for supper we were having tacos, not exactly something I'll be able to sneak into my room for Chucky after supper so he can also eat. I felt a tap on my leg so I took that as a clue to ask the question.

"Hey mom, since tomorrow is my day to pick supper, can we have Swedish meatballs?" I asked.

"Sweetie, are you sure you want that again?" Mom asked and I nodded. "Well okay then, I'll make a batch while you're in school."

"Thanks mom you're the best" I said. I understand why Chucky loves them. They are becoming a favourite of mine pretty fast.

When supper was done I put my plate in the sink and started on my lunch for tomorrow, I got some carrot sticks, two packs of gushers, an orange juice box, and a ham and cheese sandwich. Once everything was in my lunch bag I put it in the fridge so it'll keep it cool and so the cheese won't melt.

I grabbed Chucky and went up to my room, I put him down and went to open the window "I'm gonna hop in the shower and don't know how long I'll be" I said and grabbed some pjs and left the room and went to the bathroom. I got undressed and hopped in the hot shower to relax my muscles from carrying Chucky all day.

I don't know how long I was in there for but when I got out Chucky was gone. I set up his little bed for when he gets back, as it's either the toddler bed or the floor. My mother thought it was a little weird to buy it but I explained it was for Chucky, I said that my bed wouldn't be big enough for the three of us and since I was the one paying for it, she didn't really try to stop me. With his bed set up, I crawled into mine with Terry and fell asleep.
