Just friends (Jeff the Killer fanfic)

Chapter 8:

"Alex. Alex wake up!" I was violently shook awake. It was late at night. Jeff was standing in front of the bed, panting. A huge grin was planted on his face. I haven't seen him all day. I didn't do much, just played PC games and ranted with dad. I groaned. I was tired and I wanted to sleep. I pulled the blanket over my head, but Jeff pulled it down again.

"Alex. It's Chris." I looked at him. His hoodie was bloodier than before. I stared at him. "Chris is sleeping. He'll never wake up." He said, sitting next to me.

I grew tense. I knew what he did. I knew he was going to do that. What do you expect, he's a killer? I would never see Chris again. I didn't care. But I did. What would everyone else say? Jeff rubbed my back and lay down next to me.

"It's for the best." He whispered. He stroked my hair while i pulled him closer to me. His breath tickled my face. He rocked me back and forth, back and forth, until I relaxed again.

"You know I would never hurt you, even if I wanted to." he said. I nodded slightly and closed my eyes, burying my face in his chest. He held me tight, he didn't let go. I didn't know how I felt. I know it was the right thing to do, but even if he was an asshole, Chris was still my friend.

I tried not the think about it too much, but it gnawed on the back of my mind, keeping me awake. Jeff stayed with me, never letting me go. I was grateful that he was with me. He didn't say anything, just smiled at me occasionally. I sighed. My alarm went off for college in 6 hours time, and I was wide awake.i closed my eyes and didn't open them, no matter what. Jeff nuzzled into my chest. He must've fallen asleep. I stroked his hair. It comforted me. I relaxed, and eventually drifted off.
