The Killer In Me (Jeff the Killer) COMPLETED

Chapter Twelve

My eyes widen as the sudden light invades my room. I squint and the brightness waiting for my eyes to adjust to the new and annoying light.

Once my eyesight is clear, I see my mum has pulled my curtains aside all at once. I look around but theres no Masky, he must've left earlier.

"Morning, sweetpea." She says cheerfully. I groan in response and look at my phone for the time.

9am.

Hm, not as early as I thought it was. I throw my covers off and stagger to my feet. I go to stretch but a large amount of pain cursing from my shoulder. I wince is pain and look at my shoulder.

"Honey, what happened to your shoulder and why are you all beat up?" My mother asks. Crap, how am I going to get out of this one.

"Um, I uh- I was playing..with Pumpkin." I started sounding a little too nervous. "And he got loose so I had to chase him around the forest, I got pretty battered up but I'm fine." I sounded more confident making it more believable.

She nods and leaves my room, heading downstairs. I get changed into some baggy sweatpants and an oversized t-shirt, then make my way downstairs.

"Now that you're ready, would you go feed Pumpkin please?" My mum calls as I enter the dining room.

"Sure thing." I call back.

After I get outside, I feed Pumpkin who's just lazily lying around and sleeping. What a life. Upon seeing me, he jumped up and trotted over to me. I scratch the top of head and head inside until I hear someone call my name.

"S-skylaaar!" They call. I turn around to face my neighbor who's yelling across the fence. Damn it. I'm not getting out of this one this time.

"Hello, Albert" I reply sarcastically and give a small but reluctant wave. Albert is my next door neighbor and someone who makes you want to just jump off a 20 story building.

In a sense, he's a nerd. He has bottom buck teeth that resemble those of a camel's. He wears thick glasses that make his eyes appear much larger than they really are and he always seems to be lifting his top lip, as though he's snarling.

And well, he's annoying as fuck. He's my age, and he's been my neighbour for about 6 years now.

He and his family moved here when we started high school, though, I never see his parents.

I swear I saw him once prowling around his back yard, hunched over and hissing like a cat or something. I don't know, I probably just hallucinated or some shit.

Anyways, Albert turned back and headed inside his house and I did the same but with Pumpkin trotting up behind me after chasing his tail like that mad retard he is.

I stalk into the kitchen to find mum cooking like always, and notice its already 10am. Fuck, time flys when you're having fun aye? Except, I wasn't having fun.

"Hun, I need you to run to the store and get some things for dinner tonight. You can go shopping for yourself if you want to as well. But you don't have to leave until after lunch." My mum says happily.

I nod and she hands me a piece of paper with a list of stuff on it and $300. Ham, cheese, pasta, tomatoes, apples and a few other things necessary.

"I'll go now, I'll go see Megan or something, I haven't see her for a while." I grab the car keys off the counter and the money as well.

I kiss my mum's cheek goodbye and tell her I love her, she says drive safe and she loves me too. You know, the usual.

I never actually went to visit Megan. I went to the old park and sat in the woods and read.
