Everything was going peacefully until that night.

It was the night after my brother had been discharged from the mental hospital.
I woke up in the middle of the night to some odd noises, though I didn't think much of them. My throat felt dry so I went to grab my water while half asleep. When I put the bottle back on the nightstand, I noticed someone standing next to my bed. That someone was Jeff but his face was mutilated, those scars at the corners of his mouth that resembled an eerie smile were open again, and it looks like he took a lighter to the cuts to try and stop the bleeding. I also noticed that he was covered in blood...

"Hey Liu..." he sounded quite eerie when he had said that. I asked him "Jeff... what happened to you? Why are you covered in blood?". He chuckled a bit, "I'll answer that later... but do you think I'm beautiful?.." he tilted his head, waiting for my answer. I wasn't sure if I should lie to him or if I should tell him the truth, he was holding a bloody knife after all. I decided to try and lie to him "Yeah..." I wasn't sure if I sounded truthful enough. My gaze moved down to the blood on his clothes, "Now... why are you covered in blood?". Jeff looked at the blood, then at me, "Mom tried to get me sent away again and dad tried to stop me." He giggled after his explanation.

I noticed a bloodstained knife in his hand and my heart dropped. "W-what did you do to mom and dad?" I ask shakily asked as I glanced at my phone on my nightstand. Jeff tiled his head and followed up my question with his own, "Why are you asking? Are you gonna call the police?". I considered calling the police or getting a wellness check for him, but I wanted to try and fully confirm my suspicions. "That depends on how you answer my question. Did you hurt mom and dad?". He answered with a nod "They're dead now." He confessed while giggling.

My heart was in my stomach now that he had confessed to killing our parents. "Why?!" I asked him as my hearts pace progressively got faster. Jeff got closer to me, "They wanted to send me back to that mental hospital." He started to get a bit irritated, his left eye was twitching. I try and grab my phone but he grabs my wrist first. "Please... I-I wanna get you help..." I try to plead with him but he just shakes his head and grabs my wrist tighter. "I don't need help!" He yells as he tackles me down onto the floor.

I tried desperately to get him off of me and got plenty of cuts from him. When I had managed to get on top of him, I grabbed  the rosary from my nightstand and used it to strangle him. Unfortunately, the rosary broke and I was shoved to the ground. Jeff held me down as he caught his breath. I try screaming for help but he covered my mouth and shushed me. "It's okay, it's okay just go to sleep..." He then plunged the knife into my chest and stomach several times.

I felt betrayed as my vision got blurry. I felt my blood oozing out of my wounds and tears falling from my eyes. The memory of me getting taking all the blame for him and getting arrested so that he wouldn't go to jail and all of our pleasant moments together played in my mind as he impaled me several times. After he was done, he left my room and left me bleeding on the ground. As my vision began to fade, I felt a presence in the room. I felt something close to me, but I blacked out before I could see what it was.
