Jeff The Killer - The real story.

Chapter 2

Chapter 2

I walked into the kitchen shyly to see my mom. She didn't seem very impressed that once again she had to get me from the hospital. She probably would've left me there if she could. "I'm sorry" I mumbled.

"You're a worthless pest. Both you and your brother. I never wanted you, you're just a burden to me. Always getting into trouble. At least Liu stays out of trouble a bit more and can take care of himself. I don't feel like talking to you right now, fuck off," She hissed. i was ashamed. I opened my mouth to apologise again but she held her hand up in a dismissive manner. "Don't."
My eyes prickled with hot tears. It was the same every day, she never loved us. I walked briskly into the bathroom and tears spilled down my cheeks. I locked the door behind me and slid down it. What did i ever do to deserve this? i leaned forward to the little cupboard and fumbled around as I looked through the drawers for my razor.
Without even cleaning it, i quickly ran the razor through the soft flesh of my arm. The cold metal felt relieving. i watched the cut slowly bead up with blood and spill down my skin. the drops chased eachother on my skin, falling onto the white tiles. Tears blurred my vision and I made another slice, running over old scars.
Sobs shook me  as I cut again and again. My pale skin was now a mess of red.  I heard footsteps slowly approach the door, followed by a soft knock. "Open up. What's going on?" Liu asked, concern in his voice. "Go away" I cried. "What are you doing?" he answered, ignoring my comment. i refused to answer,  waiting for him to leave. i heard him sigh and walk away. I was feeling dizzy. I got up slowly and rinsed my arm with the cold water. It stung as the blood got washed away to reveal raised red lines and some gaping wounds. I turned off the tap and grabbed a long bandage from the cupboard. i wrapped it around my arm, watching certain areas continue to get soaked in crimson. I felt relieved. I pulled the sleeve of my oversized white hoodie over my wrapped arm and sighed.

I'll be okay.

I walked into Liu's room and he gestured me to sit. "It's okay. She didn't mean it.. You know how she is," he said, pulling me into a hug. I smiled as weakly. "Just stay in here with me for a bit. Cheer up bro, you're not alone". I nodded my head and sniffed. He got up and started walking to the kitchen. "Where are you going?" I asked. "Just getting something to eat. Want anything?" He asked, resting his hand on the doorway. "Nah" I said, looking down at my belly. "You haven't eaten anything for ages. What's wrong?" He said, turning back to me. "I'm fat," I told him. "No you're not. You're underweight," he frowned. "No." "Just eat something"

"No."

Liu frowned at me. "Can you please just eat something? I'm getting you something anyway." He said, leaving the room. At least someone cared.

I walked into the schoolyard holding my brothers arm tightly. "Loosen up a bit, you're cutting off my circulation" he joked. "Hm" I replied, loosening my grip a bit. I had butterflies in my stomach. i wanted to run away.

I wanted to shrink into a hole in the earth and never come out, but liu wouldn't let me as long as he's alive. "Calm down" he cooed under his breath. I nodded and pulled my hoodie over my eyes.

Liu stopped a few feet away from my locker. "What are you doing?!" I hissed fiercely. "Don't worry. Just relax" he said, shaking me off his arm slightly. randy appeared from behind the locker. His eyes had dark circles under them and he looked angry. "nice to see you again, randy. I heard you're giving my brother a bit of a hard time, am I right?" He said, still holding my arm. Randy just stared at him. "It would be nice if you answered me, buddy" liu said calmly. Randy fumed. "Don't give me that look mate. You know what you've been doing. Now stop" he said, getting sterner.

"don't tell me what to do!!" Randy yelled suddenly lunging at liu and i. I yelled a bit, taken by surprised. Every pair of eyes were on us. A couple of girls chanted, "Fight! Fight! Fight!".

Randy got revved up and charged at us, mostly aiming at liu. I would e helpe, but I couldn't. I ran and hid behind the locker. "Chicken!!" Randy yelled, still charging at liu. Liu dodged him once again, and I felt the nervousness take over. He was going to hurt him.

Randy swung furiously at liu, missing every time. "Come here you bastard!!" Randy cursed, still swinging. "Don't tell me what to do, asshole!" Liu yelled back. Randy took another swing and liu ducked it. "I didn't want to start anything, but... You hurt my brother and I won't let that happen.." Liu said, breathlessly. He was tiring. "Awww, you want to protect your little good for nothing brother" randy taunted. That was it. Liu snapped. He threw a massive punch at randy, followed by many smaller ones. "Don't you fucking say that..!" Liu yelled at him, pinning him to the wall and holding his top up. he got himself ready to throw the king hit, when one of Randy's group grabbed liu off him and held him at bay. "Fuck off me!" Liu yelled, kicking. Randy quickly took off and the rest followed. I ran over to my brother who was breathing heavily and sweating. "Why did you do that..?" I mumbled. "Because he said something mean about you" he replied, hiding the real things randy said about me. "thanks" I smiled weakly. "he's going to get me again though. and worse than last time" I frowned. "No he won't. Not while I'm here, anyway," liu said, shooing me towards my classroom. I smiled a small Thankyou and ran into the class. Everyone stared at me as If I was a ghost. "Jeff Anderson" the teacher, mrs gerrit called. "Coming" I mumbled under my breath. I walked into the office and sat down, avoiding eye contact. "Could you please explain what happened?"

I got home and threw my school bag to the ground. Liu went straight into his room, inviting me in. "that randy fuckwit.. He's going to pay," he growled. "It's okay" I mumbled. "No, it's not. He hurt you. He will pay" liu said, sitting on his bed. "Please don't..-"

"You can't convince me not to" liu cut me off. "Okay" I said sitting next to him. "I'm going to draw in my room. I'll be back later" I lied.

Well, at least it wasn't a complete lie..
