Hello, if you don't know me, my name is Jane Arkansas, or as you know Jane the Killer. The reason I'm writing this is to tell my story with Jeffery Woods, my best friend, or so I thought, he might have some entries too. We became fast friends when he first moved into my neighborhood, becoming close with his younger twin brother, Liu. We would all hang out quite often.

Until the fight with Randy, when Liu took the blame. Jeff was devastated that he took the blame instead of him. I remember having to check in on him often and we got closer.

Then, Billy's party, when the incident happened. I barely remember that day, there was so much going on. I know I ran to the house with a fire extinguisher only to pass out at the sight of my best friend on fire.

The next thing I know, I was in the hospital. I tried asking a nurse if I could see Jeff, but they ended up pushing me away and calling me his girlfriend, which I wasn't.

Maybe I wanted to be, but I would never admit it.

My parents took me home and the next week, Liu was back. He told me that they let him out after figuring out it was Randy's gang that caused everything. Took them long enough. That day we went to see him in the hospital and he got his bandages removed. His face was pale and white. Almost like white face paint. When he stood to run to the bathroom to see himself his parents tried to stop him. He stood and just stared at himself. Liu tried telling him it didn't look bad and he looked at me for reassurance. I smiled and hugged him. He hugged back and I tried making him feel better. But if I was honest it looked very different. It would be hard to get used to him like this.

We soon left, but Jeff had to stay in the hospital for a while longer. While I didn't have many friends, at least I had Jeff and Liu. Though Jeff was in the hospital, people at school hated him for what he did to Randy. People even started disliking me for being friends with him. Liu tried his best to stand up for us both, and I know he meant well, but Liu wasn't the tougher one, he couldn't deal with it like Jeff probably could. But at least me and Liu had each other to lean on.

Liu told me that Jeff would be getting out soon and invited us to dinner when he did get out. That's where everything went wrong. I left school, excited that my best friend was coming home. I told my parents and my mother was ecstatic. I walked to the couch and fell asleep, after a long day of school, that's all I wanted. Bad idea. I woke up in a nightgown in my bed, and it was dark out. I was confused because I hadn't fallen asleep there but I assumed my parents put me to bed. I got up and walked downstairs, seeing a note on the kitchen counter.

Jane, we are over at the neighbors', head over when you wake up.

I turned and that's when I seen him. There was Jeff, sitting at his window, tapping a knife lightly on the window. My eyes widened seeing him. I grabbed the closest knife and ran across the street. I reluctantly opened the door, but as soon as I did I passed out.

I woke up tied to a chair at the table, my knife missing. My eyes gazed the room, as soon as I saw my dead parents, I screamed, busting out into tears. Jeff walked towards me and grabbed my chin, forcing me to look at him. His sadistic face peered back at me. His smile now permanent on his face, blood running down his cheeks. Those blue eyes weren't the eyes I thought I loved anymore. They were white and he looked crazy. He was insane. I should've known he would have lost his sanity after everything that happened, he said he liked his new face, though me and Liu knew he didn't. "Don't be scared, Janey," his raspy voice spoke. Why wouldn't I be scared? He just killed my family. I tried pulling my face away from him, but his grip grew tighter. The tears on my face ran faster. He bent down, getting to my height. He wiped some of my tears and stood up, walking around the room. "D-Don't hurt me," I cried. My voice was wobbly. "Don't you want to be as beautiful as them?" He asked, stopping at the other end of the table, across from me. To his sides were mine and even his own parents, even poor Liu. I cried harder just thinking about it. "But you're lucky.." he whispered. "I saved the best for you," he walked back over to me and gripped my chin again. He looked down on me, the sight was probably pathetic, I looked weak. He let go, my face dropping, and he walked out of the room.
