Killing Me Slowly (Jeff the Killer love story)

Chapter 5: Lonliness and Reunions

Beep. Beep. Beep.

I winced as my eyes fluttered open, bright light streaming through a large window to the right of where I was laying.

"Oh! You're awake. I'll tell the doctor. He'll be here in a few minutes." A cheerful nurse piped up. I sat up enough to see her rushing out of the door.

I'm in a hospital? Oh right. Jane stabbed me. I brought my hand to my chest and bit my lip as pain shot through my shoulder.

"Ah I see you can move." A man in a white lab coat with a clip board in hand walked in. "You'll be able to go home whenever you like. I'll give you some medicine for that pain in your chest." He smiled as he unhooked all of the tubes from my body.

I sat up slowly, standing on my feet. "Oh, I've tried to contact your parents but the neighbors told us that they've gone off to the border cities to search for you. Even if they heard about your return, they shouldn't be back for months." The doctor sighed.

"Alright thank you."

It wasn't long after I was dressed that I was called a cab to take me home. But the whole drive I was thinking about my promise to Jeff to stop thinking about him. But will I really able to stop thinking about him? Let alone dream about him? After all, one cannot simply control their dreams.

Jeff's P.O.V

So she's ok. In some way, I was happy. But I also hated my need to see her or be with her. At least at the mansion, I knew she was always there and I knew she was ok.

"ARGH DAMN IT ALL TO HELL!" I raged as I drove my fist through the wall of my bedroom.

"What's wrong Jeff?" BEN asked as he cracked my door open.

"It's nothing." I mumbled, pulling my hand out and cracking my knuckles.

"It's that girl again. Isn't it? What was her name? Abby? A-"

"Aslin. Her name is Aslin." I cut him off.

He smirked. "Touchy. You can't stop thinking about her, can you. I mean, I can't blame you. She had all the right curves in all the right places. If she were mine, oh the things I'd do to-"

"SHUT UP! Don't you DARE talk about her like that do you hear me?!" I yelled at him, my whole body fuming. Then I caught myself. What was I doing? He was my best friend. "I-I'm sorry, BEN. She's CHANGED me. I can't get her out of my head and its driving me even more insane." I sighed as I sunk to the edge of my bed, my face in my hands.

"It's okay man. I'm sorry too. I should've thought better." He said as he sat next to me, patting my back.

"What should I do? Slendy told me that if I cared for her safety, then to stay away from her but in my opinion she's safer with me than with anyone else!"

"Yeah but what about that incident with Jane? You couldn't protect her then. What about if there's a next time?" He asked, giving me a worried look.

"There won't be a next time. I'll never put her in danger again. I won't bring her here, but maybe I could go visit her!" I looked at him, wanting his face to give off some sign of approval.

"I think you should give her time to heal from the things that's happened to her. Let her gain some nourishment back and regain some strength. She also could be scared of you for what you did..." He pondered.

"I guess your right. I'll give her a while. But she wouldn't be scared of me. She couldn't be! She sacrificed herself for me." I thought. I mean, she put her life in danger for my sake. If she was scared of me, she gladly would've watched that knife run me through. But she didn't. So she wouldn't fear me. Would she...?
