(Jeff's POV)

I could only stare in awe as averie stared back at me. Her big blue eyes pierced into my soul with every second she watched me.

"How is it that... how are you okay?" I asked dumbfounded.

She looked up at the ceiling and absentmindedly began to play with my fingers.

"I told you that I would come back. I promised. I never break my promises remember?" She asked.

She smiled at me. It was an achingly sweet smile that wrenched my heart into a million pieces knowing that it was my fault. As averie tried to get up, her features flashed with immense pain. She let out a loud groan and clenched her eyes shut tightly. A cold sweat broke out on her forehead as I helped her lay back down.

"You might not want to get up," I reminded her, getting up to remove her blankets, "Slender Man sealed the wound with stitches but it needs to heal before you can move." I said as I removed the blanket from on top of her.

She was wearing my sweater and some of Jane's training shorts. I blushed madly remembering that to see her wound she would need to lift up her shirt.

"Jane? Slender Man?" I called out, turning to look at the old wooded door.

I promptly heard footsteps running up to the room and the door creaked open as Jane and Slender walked in.

"What is it Jeff?" Jane asked as her oh-so black eyes drifted over to averie. She stifled a gasp, and covered her mouth with one hand. Tears rimmed her beautiful eyes and threatened to slip out as she made her way over to the bed where averie laid, smiling widely at Jane.

"averie" Jane muttered sinking onto her knees, "I'm so sorry! It's all my fault! Thank goodness you're okay!" Jane said through gasps and sobs.

"Oh Jane," averie said comfortingly, as she ran her long pale fingers through Jane's jet black hair, "None of this is your fault, okay? None of this is any of you guys' fault. There's no need to feel responsible." averie said smiling sweetly at all of us.

"Jeff," Slender Man said, "What did you call us up here for?" He asked moving over to stand next to Jane, who had regained her calm, regal composure.

"Oh," I said remembering that I hadn't called them up here for a reunion party, "averie tried to sit up, I think she might have torn a few stitches." I said looking glancing over at averie worriedly, then back at Slender.

"averie, lift your shirt up please." Jane ushered quietly through a few sniffles.

averie nodded and promptly moved to lift my sweater up. As she did so, she glanced up at me and began to blush furiously. I began to blush as well.

"I'm going to, um, go to eat something and get her something to eat as well." I said nervously.

Slender Man only nodded and that was enough of an excuse for me.

I walked out the door and shut it abrubtly behind me. I let out a few shaky breaths and turned around. Much to my surprise, Masky, Hoody, and Eyeless Jack were standing in front of the door. They were eavesdropping.

"What are you guys doing?" I whispered hotly.

They all backed away from me before Masky and Hoody pushed jack in front of them. He chuckled nervously, his shoulders shook as he did so.

"Well, we heard you scream out for Slender and Jane, and we were kind of worried," he said, his talking on a serious tone, "Is she...?" He asked pausing, almost as if he didn't want to push the subject.

"She finally woke up," I told them with a wide smile.

Almost simultaneously, they all heaved a heavy sigh, almost as if they've been holding their breath waiting for my response.

"That's good," Masky said happily.

"I'm glad, she was a lot of fun around the house." Hoody said coming to wrap his arm around my neck.

Eyeless Jack loosed a low, mischevious chuckle, "I think that the one who missed averie most was Jeff." He said moving up to nudge myself lightly on my arm.

"What do you mean?" I asked, suddenly self-concious and aware of the fact that I was only in a muscle t-shirt.

"I mean, you like her." jack whispered in my ear playfully.

Masky and Hoody immeadiately made an 'ooh' sort of noise and burst out into laughter. while jack took his place at the table and pulled out a chair for me.

"What? You guys are hilarious." I said not wanting to look at them. Instead, I looked down at the ground. My voice cracked and reached a high point that it's never reached before.

"Hmm, sure. You hungry?" Masky asked getting up. I layed my hand on my thinning stomach and nodded at him. He chuckled softly and served me some of the soup that Jane had made.

After a while. The boys dismissed themselves and I poured some soup in a bowl and brought it up for averie

When I got up there, it was just Jane and averie, though. I don't know when Slender Man had got down, but I never saw him. They were giggling madly and as soon as they saw me, they stopped themselves.

I raised my eyebrow quizically at them and Jane got up and excused herself. She walked rapidly past me and slammed the door behind her. As soon as she shut the door, she burst into hysterical laughter.

"What were you guys talking about?" I asked moving closer to averie handing her the soup. "Careful it's hot." I reminded her absentmindedly as I sat on the old wooded chair.

"Nothing," she said. She leaned over her soup and dug in hungrily.

I decided not to interrupt her and just watched instead. By the time she was done, she layed back down and fell asleep.

I wonder if they were talking about me? Nah, probably not. But what was so funny?

"hello, its me the dark side, 'she' promised me that i could write this chapter and so i did, but anyways, how was it ? and tell me, who has better writting skills, me or her ?"
