Blood Flow (Jeff the Killer Love Story)

*Chapter 2*

I was up all morning watching old Family Guy episodes. It was 9:30 when I finally heard my mom downstairs. Trying not to disturb my dog who was laying on my lap I got up and checked a mirror.

"Damn it." I mumble under my breath. My eyes were a swollen puffy mess from crying. I grabbed some makeup and tried to cover it up as best I could. Well it was a little better but still noticeable. I couldn't tell my mom i was almost killed. Looks like Ill have to play the whole dad card again.

I walk downstairs and trying to avoid my mom and just get some breakfast. "Well your up early." She says not looking up from the news paper she was reading.

"Ya I was just going to grab an apple and go back up to my room," what does she mean by early its 9:39. Giving me a good look down and motions me to come to her. She gives me a big hug.

"Honey, is this about your dad again?" I started to tear up at the thought of dad. I shook my head as tears rolled down my face.

"Hope, it's been almost a year since your father was murdered. We need to stat moving on. Trust me that's what he would want." I nod my head slightly and walk away without saying a word. I went up in my room and started to cry. I missed my dad so much. I used to be so close to him. He was on a business trip in Seattle when he was brutally gutted. I knew that he shouldn't of go.

"Sweet-heart," my mother yells up at me, "Me and Rhett are going to the store to shop for a present for Sarah. Her birthday is next week. Will you be okay alone?"

"I'll be fine" It was a little embarrassing that my younger brother has a girlfriend and I'm still a single loser, but I really like Sarah.

When I was finally calmed down I decided to take a nap. I laid down on my bed and drifted off into sleep. I dreamt about that guy. I didn't scream though when he pulled a knife out I just asked why. He just stood there and laughed. I woke up shaking.

"I really need some fresh air." Now I knew that his was a bad idea, but I couldn't help my self. Plus I wouldn't go far. I put on a purple hoody and walked out side. It was really foggy. I start walking to Sarah's house to talk to her. She was like my only friend. I could trust her.

I felt warm breath on my neck. I felt my heart skip a beat and I didn't want to. but I did very slowly and saw him standing there. But it was odd I didn't see a knife in his hands like I did the last time.

"Hey," he said smirking.

"H-Hi," I managed to shudder out

"Hope, theirs no need to be scared,"

"Are you kidding? You tried to kill me like what four hours ago and now your telling me not to be scared!?"

"Yes." He replayed

I looked at him confused. He gave me a cute little smile and started to walk away.

"Wait," I grabbed his wrist "you know my name, so now I want to know yours." Letting go of his wrist he looks up.

"I'm Jeff," I smiled. That name suited him pretty well.

"When will I see you again?" I ask as he walks away

"Soon," he says to me. I must of been smiling huge because when I got to Sarah's house her mom answered the door and asked me if I met a boy.

"What? No way," I say trying to sound like I really didn't.

"Okay then," she gave me a wink. "Sarah is up in her room,"

"Thanks!" I say as I walk up the stairs. She's laying on her bed listing to her iPod. When she sees me she gives me a big old hug and asks me if I'm ok.

"Why do you ask?"

"Well Rhett kinda texted me saying that you were up crying," I probably turned bright red.

"I was just thinking about my dad." I tell her. She gives me another hug. And looks like she's going to cry.

"No no no, don't cry! I have some news." I say trying to tell her calm.

"What?"

"Your going to think I'm crazy but there's a guy..." Sarah cut me off

"OMG! Now we can have double dates!!!"

"He tried to kill me," her smile faded away she was going to say something but I just shushed her and kept talking.

"He tried to kill me at like 7 this morning. But he didn't obviously. I cried all morning before I decided I should come and talk to you. On my way here I saw him again. He didn't threaten me though. It was weird. I got his name and he said he'd see me around," Sarah looked speechless. Then gave me a joking look.

"You like him!" She says poking me. I blush a little and look at the floor.

"Oh my god Hope, I didn't think you really did," I look up at her tears in my eyes.

"What's wrong with me?" I whisper

"I don't know," she looks at me. "Do you want me to walk you home?"

"No I don't want you to get hurt." I give her a hug and leave.

Walking back to my house all I could think about was Jeff. His face was horrific at first glance,but now I kind of liked it. "Why didn't he kill me?" I asked my self out loud.

"I just wasn't in the mood to," Jeff said in a joking tone.

"Where the hell did you come from?" I asked him part joking part actually curious.

"I just happened to see you and thought, 'lets go mess with Hope.' I smiled at him. We walked in silence for what seemed like forever when he finally said, " you know that your basically leading a psycho killer to your house right?"

I stopped and thought for a second.

"If your a killer then seriously why didn't you kill me?" He looked just as stumped as I did

"Usually after I kill someone, I have no regrets what so ever. In fact I feel sorta happy," he smiled. "But there is something about you. I don't know why but I couldn't let you die." I blushed big time. He gave me that cute little smile again. I socked him in the shoulder and we walked to my house.
