When Skies Are Blue (Jeff The Killer Love Story)

Chapter 21

Chapter 21: Forgiveness

-Vivian's P. O. V.-

It has been 4 whole days since I had locked Jeff in the basement. I've been sliding food in when he was asleep but that was all. I had no reason to talk to him at all. He has lied to me this whole time and I'm starting to think that he lied to me about my phone too. Smile was also down there and I was really glad for that. And also, I feel like this whole thought that I had 4 days ago about me having an actual friend except Samaria was a bunch of lemon juice. 'How could I have been so blind?' I thought as I sat up on my bed, hugging my legs to my chest tightly as I thought and looked out my window by where the top of my bed is. I remembered almost 5 days ago when I had looked out of my window and thought about how Jeff made me feel connected to him in some way that I hated, but loved at the same time. And how I might have been jealous by Jeff and Jane. I heard a door pounding and I rushed out of my room and downstairs to see what all the commotion was about. I ran into the living room and found that someone was banging on the basement door. "Vivian, please! Let me explain!" Jeff yelled from behind the basement door. I didn't answer. "You misunderstood! I'm not lying!" He yelled. I'm not lying...I'm not lying... I'm not lying... those words repeated over and over and over in my mind. How could I 'misunderstand' anything? I heard what he said loud and clear, and I mean it. "How could I misunderstand... " I whispered, leaning on the door. "I'm trying to help you!" He said but that didn't really answer my question but I went on. "How are you helping me if your using me for just a toy?" I asked, sliding down the door and sat on the floor, bringing my knees to my chest. "I-... I'm trying to help you by helping you live..." He answered.

"But your just going to kill me anyways." I croaked.

"No I wasn't. I told Ben all that because he would end up telling this man named Slender. He's in charge of the murderers and killers around here. Including me. We have this #1 rule, it's to never befriend a human, your victim, or any non-murderers. But, I broke that one rule... and if he found out that I did, you would die and I probably would too..." I heard shuffling then the door moved a little. That must have meant that he must be sitting down and leaning on the door too. "Vivian, I know that you may not believe me but, I really am trying to help you stay alive for as long as I can. And you may not let me out of here as well, but, your my friend and I would never do anything like that to you... I promise." He said shakily and a tear slipped out of my eye and rolled down my cheek.

"But, I do have a confession to make though.." He said.

He sighed. "I do have your phone with me." I knew it. My eyes went wide and I shot up to my feet and unlocked the door. I burst into the doorway and I pounced on Jeff. "Woah, what the-?!" He shouted as we then toppled over the step and we fell down the stairs. "Give it to me!" I shouted angered but playfully. "Okay okay Jeez!" He staggered for breath since I fell on top of his back, his stomach on the floor. And I knew that must have hurt in the head, even if his nose was already healed. I saw him move his arm and slid his hand inside of his hoodie pocket and pulled out my iPod. Jeff handed it to me with a shaky hand and I instantly grabbed it and jumped to my feet and laughed in happiness. While I was having a reunion with my iPod, Jeff slowly sat up and just stared at me. "Will you quit that already? Your gonna wake Smile!" He asked over my loud laughing. I stopped laughing about 5 seconds later and I turned around to face him. He then stood up and walked towards me and stopped when we were only about 1 foot away from each other.

"I don't want to wake him up... he scares me." Vivian mumbled and I then brought her into a hug. She tensed up and hesitantly hugged me back. "Do you understand why I said that to Ben now?" I asked her silently. "Yeah, I'm sorry for locking you down here and not letting you explain." She awkwardly chuckled. "Yeah, its fine. I would have done the same thing." I laughed, still hugging her. "Thank you for understanding why... every time I saw that light under the door crack go out, I knew that it was night. I couldn't sleep, knowing that I hurt your feelings." I mumbled and hugged her tighter. "Your my friend and I'm sorry that I hurt you. And I'm glad that you forgive me." I continued. I heard her let out a deep sigh. "Thank you for giving me my phone. I knew that you had it." I froze. "But I surprisingly survived without it. Even though it's only been about 9 days." She lightly giggled and I grinned. "Why did you lie and say that you didn't know where it was that one day?" Vivian asked, pulling me a little closer. "I wanted to see if you would try and call the police on me..." I mumbled, slightly embarrassed because I didn't want to leave her side. She laughed slightly. " How could I call the police if I didn't have a thing to call them with?" I blushed a crimson red because of my stupidity. "Y-yeah, right. I guess I didn't think about that." I stuttered weirdly. "And, is your nose okay?" Vivian asked, pulling away and looking up at me. She was almost tall enough for her nose to reach just below my chin. Her shortness was adorable. "Yeah, its fine. I don't feel a thing." I said and she sighed in relief and then smiled brightly up at me and I did the same, looking down into her dark blue eyes like an ocean underneath a setting sun.

"Come on, let's get out of here!" She said, slightly jumping up and down and I laughed. "Okay, okay. Just let me go get Smile and then we'll leave." She froze almost to quickly, a frightened look on her face after I had mentioned Smile and I cocked my head to the side in confusion. "Why did you stop all of the sudden?" I asked her and she snapped out of her scared stare. "N-nothing. I'll just go ahead and-" She then ran off up the stairs and left me down there, dumbfounded. I just shrugged it off and headed to go and get Smile. "That big weirdo.' I thought.

I could never face that dog, or, whatever it was, again after it had done what had happened 4 days ago. But I knew that I had to at some point.
