Chapter 26: Promises From A Crimson Savior

Three knocks on my door make the enough noise to get me out from my thoughts, as I walk to my bedroom's door, and open it, getting to see Jeff in his typical and much known white hoodie, I let him enter my bedroom for some reason, well... Painkillers can be either music, exercise, or even meds, but Jeffrey Woods is now qualified to be a painkiller... I'm such a bitch XD

–Hey– He kisses my forehead.

–I need to talk to you– I close my eyes when he kisses my forehead then separate.

–Whenever I hear that I know it's not good– He awkwardly laughs.

–I'm going to Hell with Zalgo– I simply say.

–You're kidding right? – He asks laughing yet, concerned.

–No, in order to save all you and my brother I have to do it– I hug myself.

–You're going to die if you go with him– He says.

–I know– I look to other side but Jeff walks towards me and wraps his arms around my waist, hugging me as I place my head on his chest, inhaling his unique fragrance of blood, man cologne, and mint.

–Have you told Toby yet? – He asks.

–No, but I told Troye... That didn't go so well– I answer.

–Yeah, let's say that Troye has quite a loud voice when screaming– He says laughing, feeling his chest vibrate– Like you.

–Hey! – I separate with a smile.

I'm actually enjoying this...

So... Jeff and I are now on the House's porch, where we're talking and when I look at him, I can barely can get to see his face because of his long black hair over his forehead almost completely covering his beautiful almost gone blue eyes. His carved smile curves into a side smirk by my sarcastic comment and he grunts somehow laughing.

–Do you miss him? – Jeff asks me.

–Miss who? – I ask him back.

–Toby– the Chelsea smile boy sighs and I stay quiet for a moment– You do.

–Y–Yeah, why wouldn't I? – I hug my knees, bringing them closer to my chest.

–Do you want to make him feel the pain you felt? – He asks me this time something different.

–I don't know, I do but... I'm not that heartless– I answer.

–You have to be, you want revenge– He nods to his own sentence– I see it in you.

–So what do you suggest, Woods? I can't physically harm him– I try to sound as neutral as posible– He can't feel pain.

–But that doesn't apply to emotional pain– Jeff's smile turns into a devious one.

–Okay, I'm listening– I stop hugging myself and extend my legs, then to cross them.

–Why did Toby and you broke up the first time? – He asks me– he kissed another girl, why did you fight with him? His jealousy.

–Okay I don't understand– I shake my head.

–Make him jealous, make him feel hurt, you might get him back– Jeff shrugs– It's just an idea.

–Why are you helping me? – I ask now suspicious.

–Because I'm part of the plan, darling– He smiles to me a little more.

–Uh...– He puts his hand on my mouth before I can talk.

–You, me, jealous Toby, easy as pie– He laughs– I mean who wouldn't get jealous that someone's ex-girlfriend is 'dating' this wonderful and sexy guy called Jeffrey Woods?
