Jeff (pov)

*Timeskip 10:30 pm*

Bens been out for a couple of hours and hasn't shown any signs of waking up. "I need some air" I get up and tuck ben in before going to my closet and grabbing my hoodie. When I get it I notice something in the corner I pick it up it's a pack of cigarettes. "Must be from when one of the others stayed here" I decided to take them and my lighter with me. I walk downstairs put my boots on and walk to the back porch I then take out a cigarette light it and start to smoke. It's been a year since I quit smoking and I still remember it like it was yesterday.

*Flashback*

I'm sitting against a tree in the woods behind the house just chillin and having a smoke. It's not like I smoke a lot but I probably do more than I should. "Why the hell does slendy make us smoke in the woods" if we even try to smoke near the house he gets pissed. Actually it's mostly me but some of the others do to jack smokes a couple times a week and i've seen ms.p and masky smoke a time or two. "You keep that up your lungs will be blacker than slendy's suit" I turn around to see ben leaning on a tree. I laugh "this coming from a druggie" he chuckles and comes over and sits next to me.

"You're probably right looks like we both have problems" I nod and take another drag of my cigarette. He was right even though we're immortal and our aging will stop eventually shit like this can still effect us. "But seriously jeff you shouldn't smoke so much" I exhale and shake my head "i'll stop when you quit the black stuff". He stood up "alright then" I gave him a confused look as I stood up "alright what". "I'll quit the black stuff and cut back on the rest if you quit smoking" he was serious. I thought for a minute "ok you have a deal" we shook hands and walked back to the house.

*End flashback*

Remembering how serious he looked made me smile he was so adorable sometimes. I inhale one last time before stomping the cigarette and blowing the smoke out. When I walk back inside I kick off my shoes then go back up to my room to check on ben. I get up to my room and see bens rolled over on his side I don't want him to hurt his arm any more I roll him on his back. As I brush some hair from his forehead I notice it feels warm. I walk to my bathroom wet a washcloth with cold water and ring it out a little before putting it on his head. I pull up a chair and sit down "looks like it's gonna be a long night". About an hour later I decide to put something to sleep in on. After I put on some black sweat pants and a black t-shirt I dit back down. "Damn it's already 11:45" I lay my head on the bed and look at ben "you better wake up tomorrow". I try to stay awake as long as possible but I end up fading out around 3 am.

*Timeskip 8:30 am*

"Ugh sun you suck" I get out of the chair and stretch out. "That was the worst sleep of my life" I look over and see bens still asleep. I could tell the washcloth was dry so I wet it again before putting it back on his head. My stomach growled so I went downstairs and eat a bowl of cereal. After I clean up my mess I slip on my steel toed boots grab the cigarettes and my lighter. The pack was still over half way full so there's no sense in wasting them besides I need to loose some of this stress. When I get outside I put one in my mouth light it and inhale deeply. After I finish it I light another one I had almost forgotten how relaxing this is. Man if ben knew I was doing this he'd probably flip out on me. My eyes widened what the HELL was I doing. I rip the cigarette from my mouth stomp it out and walk inside.

Ben (pov)

I open my eyes slowly but everything looks dark and blurry. When everything clears up I notice i'm in jeff's room I also notice I have on one of his white t-shirts and it's kinda big on me. I sit up slowly but when I put pressure on my right arm I recoil in pain. Half of each finger up to my elbow is bandaged up jeff must've done it. Oh shit he'll probably ask what happened I don't think I can handle telling him but I know there's no way around it. I sighed and got out of bed why am I so wobbly. It takes me a minute to get to the stairs this could pose a problem. I grab onto the left railing with both hands but I can't grip with my right one very well. The only thing i'm focusing on is getting down the stairs without busting my ass. When I'm third to last step I trip over my own two feet nice one ben real nice. I squeeze my eyes shut as I hear footsteps instead of falling on the floor I fall into arms then hear a thud. "Ok part of me is starting to think you like falling down" I open my eyes to see me and jeff on the floor.

I look down as red coats my cheeks he starts laughing "chill man i'm kidding". He picks me up and starts walking to the living room "jeff I can walk by myself" "no you can't". When we get there he sets me on the couch then sits next to me "so how ya feeling". I thought for a minute "Well i'm light headed I can barely walk and my right arm hurts like a bitch so yeah". He puts a hand on my forehead "you still feel warm take it easy today". He went in the kitchen then came back with two bottles of pills. "Here's some aleve for pain and amoxicillin" I take some pills from each bottle. "Ok I get why i'm taking aleve but why amoxicillin" jeff looks at me "just in case your temperature is due to infection". I nod and swallow the pills "ben why'd you do something so stupid" I froze this isn't good.

"Lets just say I got extremely pissed" he grabs my shoulders "no it wasn't ben" he sounded upset. He took a deep breath "ben I can understand if you just punched it but you had to notice the bleeding and you did nothing". I didn't know what to say I can't just tell him I dreamt I fought jane then stabbed him in the heart. "you might not like what I have to say" he pulls me into a hug "doesn't matter you need to let it out". I take a deep breath and tell him about how I fought jane but stop just before the part where I k-kill him.

"Ben what happened next" I run a hand through my hair and take a shaky breath this sucks. What's wrong with me I know what I dreamt will never happen but it was so real. AND I'M NOT THE ONE WHO'S SUPPOSED TO HURT JEFF DAMNIT."Iwaswalkinginthedarkwhensomethingcameupbahindmesoiturnedaroundandstabbeditintheheartkillingitbutsomethingdidn'tfeelrightsoitookacloserlookanditwasyou" I took a deep breath. He put a hand on my shoulder "ben you need to say it to where I can understand you". I closed my eyes "I was walking in the dark when something came up behind me so I stabbed it in the heart killing it". I started to tear up a bit "but something didn't feel right" i pull my knees to my chest. "So I took a closer look" my brain was telling me to shut up but I wouldn't listen. "I-it was y-you" I bury my face in my knees what did I just do.
