Your POV
----------------
You were frozen in fear after hearing Jeff scream. Tears had already spilled over, and you didn't realize it. The forest was completely silent, dark clouds looming above as you ran back, having to wipe your eyes on the way. (Aaaaaaand CUE DRAMATIC RAIN) As soon as you got there, it began to rain. Your heart stopped as you saw a figure in a familiar white hoodie laying motionless on the ground. (Don't start freaking out yet.) You ran over to Jeff and saw a severe burn on his side, which had claw marks running through it. He was covered in wounds and quite a few burns, which only made more tears fall.
"J-Jeff... Can you h-hear me..?" You whispered, praying for a response.
Nothing.
"Jeff.. Please.. D-Don't leave me here.."
You suddenly felt a hand on your shoulder and tensed. You turned to see Laughing Jack standing there, also covered in cuts and other wounds. Eyeless Jack hurried over as LJ gently pulled you up by the arm and stepped away from the two males. You couldn't help but cry into LJ's chest silently. (Feels. Leave me alone. And I'm writing this thing!) With the help of Slender, him and EJ carried Jeff back to the mansion. Jack instantly began tending to Jeff's wounds, especially his side, in the basement. You waited in the living room silently, trying to keep your mind off it for as long as possible. Nothing worked. Liu, Jeff's brother (YAAS FINALLY BRINING HIM IN!), seemed very nervous as well, emerald eyes locked on the ground. Then, the basement door opened, and you and Liu looked up quickly.
"(Y/N), please follow me." Eyeless Jack said quietly.
You hesitantly stood and walked over to him, then followed him to the basement. Inside, it smelled horrible but you didn't say anything. Laying on a makeshift bed was an unconscious Jeff.
"He's slowly gaining consciousness. By slowly, I mean very slowly. There's something, most likely debris, that I need to get out of his side in order to clean it and stitch it up, and I need you to try to comfort him. I know he's gonna feel it." EJ turned to you, tone laced with a bit of worry, then he stood by Jeff.
You hurried over and sat in front of him as Eyeless began. Gripping Jeff's hand, you couldn't bear to watch. You leaned over and whispered as comfortingly as possible into his ear as EJ pulled out whatever it was stuck in his side.
"That's no debris.."
You looked up to see a broken, blood covered piece of a claw.
"Zalgo's.. 'Claw' must've broke when he struck.. This might help us." Jack put it to the side and grabbed a cloth and some disinfectant, along with the tools for him to stitch the wound.
As you tried to slip away, Jack called out back.
"He still needs you here."
You instantly went back and stared at Jeff, whom was more awake than before. When you held his hand, his grip tightened. EJ began carefully cleaning around the wound, having to clean the cloth several times, then used the disinfectant. He muttered something under his breath, something along the lines of "Almost done.."
You only watched in silence as he began to stitch the wound.

Jeff's POV
---------------
I heard voices, and instantly recognized them.
Eyeless Jack and (Y/N).
"He's slowly gaining consciousness. By slowly, I mean very slowly." Jack said.
I opened my eyes a bit (yes he has eyelids in this. Don't kill me. I already had the idea of him passing out and thought it worked better with eyelids than without. I'll gladly ignore your hate comments.) and saw (Y/N) walking over to sit in front of me as EJ continued to explain. I felt her hold my hand just as I felt excruciating pain in my side. I'd probably start crying out in pain right about now, but for some reason, it wasn't so bad. I think it's because... Pfft... What are you thinking?! It can't be because (Y/N)'s here, can it..?
The pain went on and on for a while, (Y/N) whispering comfortingly in my ear, then it slowly faded.
"That's no debris.." EJ muttered.
What?
I listened as EJ went on. "Zalgo's claw must've broke when he struck.. This might help us." He muttered.
My mind was racing. I had a claw stuck in my side this whole time?!
I felt (Y/N)'s hand slip out of mine.
"He still needs you here." Jack said.
Thank you.. I thought with a slight feeling of relief. I felt a bit more strength and I was able to grip (Y/N)'s hand this time. I felt a wet cloth gently glide against my wound, almost causing me to hiss in pain, then I felt something else being put on it.
"Almost done.." EJ muttered.
I then felt a bit of pain and instantly knew he was stitching the wound.

~Le magical time skip~

I was almost full awake by now. EJ had finished stitching and I was doing the best I could to talk to (Y/N), but my voice was weaker than ever.
"You should... Probably g-get some rest.." I whispered just as she yawned.
"No. I'm staying up with you." (Y/N) replied firmly, though she looks about ready to fall asleep any minute.
"(Y-Y/N), just rest. I'll still... Be here tomorrow."
She sighed in defeat and rested her head right beside mine.
"Goodnight Jeff..."
"'Night."
She fell asleep right there, her hand intertwined with mine. Honestly, it was adorable.
She's probably gonna be aching tomorrow. I thought before shrugging.
EJ walked back in, holding bandages, and walked over.
He took one look at (Y/N) and muttered, "You're lucky to have someone like her with you."
I couldn't help but smile a bit before I drifted off myself, Jack wrapping my wound with the bandages.

Two updates in a day ^(o-o)^
You love me again? Yes? Good.
*Le pats on head*

It's almost 1 AM. I gotta get up at 5.
I. Regret. Nothing.
