Knock, Knock. I Care - Jax X Original Character (Reader)

20- Digitally, Wymsical, Eternal Hallway

Summary: Jax and Sugar crash land and find themselves in a dark, looming hallway with surprises behind every door.

{A/N PLEASE READ: Jax and Sugar's experience through this next couple of chapters is highly inspired by "IT" and the Neibolt house. }

(SUGAR'S POV)

My scream echoed throughout the black abyss. I couldn't see anything.

I finally hit the bottom, but I instead fell through decrepit floor boards, thankfully slowing my fall, but fell to the floor on the next level. Fortunately, this one was slightly more stable.

I slowly stood up, rubbing my head, sensing an oncoming headache.

"Woah, watch it-!"

I couldn't move fast enough before a heavy weight dropped on top of me, crushing me between it and the floor.

"Ugh, dammit, Jax! What's wrong with you?"

"Hey, I said to- what?"

We paused, and as he continued to sit on me, he stared at me in my eyes, his pupils small and eyebrows furrowed.

"What did you say?"

He asked again.

I let it slip.

"I said, d*#$^t, Jax. My God-"

"No, no no. No you didn't. You- you bypassed the censor!" he scrambled off of me once my breath started heaving.

He helped me stand up.

I was nervous. Would he think I was...different? A weirdo? A freak? A-

"I'm so fucking happy I'm not the only one."

My thoughts were put on hold, my brain trying to comprehend what the hell he just said to me.

"Oh...how?"

"Don't know, always been able to, though," he told me, smiling a little. It quickly turned to a smirk, of course.

"You know, you're cute when you cuss. Like a feisty koala, or something."

I shook my head, trying to understand what the hell that meant.

"A...koala."

He nodded, more confident in his answer. "A koala."

I rolled my eyes before finally taking in our surroundings. This part of the building looked a lot more broken down and neglected, like it was abandoned.

It was a long hallway with maybe hundreds of doors going down both sides. We couldn't even see the end of the hallway itself.

I swallowed the bile rising in my throat.

"So, toots. What do we do now?" Jax asked, looking down the hallway.

"I thought you knew, since, YOU FUCKING THREW US DOWN HERE!"

Jax held up his hands in surrender. "Calm down, sugarcube. I got this."

Then, and only then, did I realize the vacuum Jax wore before was completely missing.

"Jax? Where did the ghost-sucker-upper-thing go?"

He felt around his back stupidly and gulped, shrugging.

"I guarantee you one of these is the exit. So... you take one side I'll take the other?" he suggested to which I quickly denied.

"Oh no, no, no. We will NOT be splitting up. Have you ever watched ANY horror movies? That's like, haunted house 101."

Jax rolled his eyes, sighing. "I'm cool with whatever. As long as I get to see you all shivering and scared like that. Makes this all the more enjoyable," he cruelly said.

"Whatever, Cottontail."

His face heated up. Glad that nickname still had that effect on him.

"Well, one of these must be the way out."

"No shit, Sherlock."

"Shut up."
