Chapter Three- Questions
Jeff's POV
I arrived home and took out the picture of Alex. She looked so beautiful and innocent. Her eyes looked white in the picture. Her friend, which I guess was Sandy, was smiling wide and showing her white teeth.
I set the picture down on the bedside table. I stood up and walked around the dark neighborhood. 'Does she like me?' I thought. I shook my head and realized I forgot my knife. 'Fuck, I never forget it. Ever! Shit, she's all I can think about. She's getting in my head way too easily, but I don't mind.'
Alex's POV
I started to wonder where he lived. 'Should I look for him? No. I can't be in love with him! He fuckin stabbed me! Then he mended it. Damn, I don't know.' I thought. I drifted to sleep again after taking two pain killing tablets from my moms medicine cabinet.
Jeff's POV
I walked all the way to Alex's house. I stood in front of the living room window and saw she was sleeping. 'Damn, this girl is gonna sleep through her whole life at this rate.' I thought. I looked up to her bedroom window and saw it was open. 'She'll get killed if she just leaves her window open like that.' I laughed to myself as I climbed up and into her room.
I quietly walked downstairs and sat next to her and watched her sleep for almost ten minutes. I moved a stray piece of hair off her face and kissed her cheek. She started to stir in her sleep. Her eyes fluttered open and her attention was on me.
Alex's POV
I woke up and saw him sitting next to me, smiling. I felt my heart skip a beat. 'How did he get in?' I asked myself. "You sleep a lot ya know." he said chuckling. I stood up and so did he. "What do you w-want?" I asked. He put his hands on my waist and pulled me closer. I felt....safe in his hands. 'Am I crazy? This guy almost killed me, but I don't want him to leave me.'
"You're too quiet. You wanna talk soon?" he said smiling down at me. I blushed and buried my head in his chest. He smelled like cologne, the Axe kind. I felt comfortable. "U-Ummmm, so......you smell really good." I mentally face palmed myself for saying that. 'You smell good?! God damn it I'm so fuckin stupid!' He laughed, I could feel his chest moving.
"You know you're really funny." he said, still laughing. I smiled and said "I thought you would be weirded out." He laughed more "Me? Weirded out? You're too funny."
Jeff's POV
I knew something was bothering her. "You feel different." I said. She looked up at me and said "I want to know about you. Like a lot of stuff." I took her hand and we went upstairs to her room. "Ask away." I said. She smiled and asked "You sure? Imma go pretty deep." I laughed to myself 'Go deep.' I thought.
I nodded yes. "How did you get those cuts and the black rings around your eyes?" I closed my eyes and crossed my arms behind my head "I got into a fight with some guys when I was younger and one of them knocked me into a rack of bleach and lit me on fire. Went to the hospital and something in me just snapped. I burned my eyelids so I could see my face and carved this smile because I was so happy about it all." I could feel her tense up a bit.
"Oh. Are you okay now? Like mentally?" she asked. I opened my eyes and thought about for a minute. "I don't know yet." I said. She put her head on my chest and I felt a smile spread across her face. I smiled too. "Do you like me?" I asked. "I was supposed to ask you questions. Yeah I do like you. Like not even a little bit, like a lot." I smiled and thought about how much she could like someone.
"Have you killed anyone lately?" she asked. My eyes widened in fear of that question. "Do I have to answer?" I asked. She looked up at me and said "Yeah, you have to be completly honest." I held her hand and said hesitantly "Yes. I wanted to tell you this when the time was right, but not this early."
