Jeff's POV
"OW! Damn it Smile!" I yelled, removing the husky's teeth from my arm. "What am I going to do with you?"
"Oh. Hi Jeffery." A smug and taunting female voice teased.
"Go away Jane. I don't like you."
"Yes, but you might want to listen for once. Your friend- Benjamin, I believe- is at the slender mansion in critical condition." She smiled wickedly. "Something about a lake, I believe?"
"What did you do you heartless bitch!?"
"Well, it wasn't ME, he was throwing rocks in the water and he, per say, got too close. He was simply falling about it was dreadful! I grabbed his arm to pull him out but he went into shock. I thought the mansion would be a good place, no?"
I glared at her. "You'll pay for this." I hissed and ran off to my old home.
Jeff's POV
I finally arrived after about a half hour. I busted inside and ran to BEN's room. He laid on the bed, his hair still wet, his pillow damp. Masky say next to him, obviously on guard, but he fell asleep. "Masky!" I hissed. He jolted awake.
"O-oh! Jeff! U-uh... Did I fall asleep?"
"Yeah kinda."
"O-oh. Sorry."
I laughed. "It's ok Masky. How long before I found out?"
"Maybe about 4 hours ago? Hoodie, Toby, and Jack are all in the woods looking for you. W-who found you?"
"Jane." I growled.
"O-oh. W-would you mind if I go find the others and you..." He trailed off, gesturing to BEN, motionless on the bed.
"No, I'll stay."
"Ok." He hopped up from his chair and walked out the door. I sat in his chair. "BEN?" He coughed.
"Jeff?" He asked croakily.
"Yeah! I'm right here. Are you ok?"
"Me? I'm fine. You look like hell." He laughed and I turned into a cough. After a few moments he stopped and closed his eyes back.
"Can I sleep again? I'm tired. And my head hurts."
"Sure." He grabbed my hand.
"Don't leave!"
"I won't leave you."

Jeff's POV
I awoke to the sound of the door slamming. "HOOOOME!!!!" Toby screamed at the top of his lungs.
"Toby! Be quiet!" Masky chastised.
"Sorry." Jack walked upstairs.
"He... Wake up?"
"Yeah. About 2 hours ago." I saw him relax.
"That's good. Are you hungry?" Jack and I had managed to stay friends despite the fact he was dating Jane.
"Sure. I'm starving." BEN coughed.
"Make me ice cream." He moaned. "My throat hurts." Jack broke into laughter and fell on the floor.
"What?" BEN said. He groaned and attempted to sit up. I slid my arms under him and lifted him up. I smirked as I though I saw his cheeks redden.
BEN's POV
Jeff lifted me into the air. I blushed at his touch. I tried to hide it but he smirked. I think he saw. I had liked him for awhile, but he didn't appear to feel the same way. He walked me downstairs and threw me into me chair. Jack slid me a bowl of ice cream. Mint. I ate it greedily, enjoying the cool feel on my stinging throat. I had inhaled some rocks and sand and shit in that lake. Stupid Jane pushed me in the fucking water...
