Ghost Friend [2jae]

Day 18

Jaebum

"What are you doing here Jackson?" I questioned.

Jackson came in.

"Is there something wrong in visiting my friend?" He replied. I look around.
Youngjae was not on the sofa.

Where is he?

"What are you watching Jae?" Jackson held out some tapes.

"Those are the previous owners tapes" I said and joined him in the sofa.

"Hmm." He just shrugg. Then the room got quiet. The silence was awkward. This is not usually the atmosphere you get when Jackson is here.

"Hey Jack are you okay?" I ask. "Is something wrong? You look stressed" I casually said to break the silence.
I met Jackson for two years now. He can't stay silent for too long.

"I just you know... missed you Jae" He said

"Please stop with this drama Jackson." I laughed. He smiled small. Jackson never looked at me yet.

"Do you remember the first time we met?" He ask. I nodded. "Of course...At work it was two years ago. I met you Two years ago" I answered.

"You spilled coffee on me. Remember?It was so hot my skin got so red and swollen" I smiled at the memory.

Jackson smiled."Yeah...I forgot about that" He fiddles with his fingers.

"Hey Jae I'm thirsty. Get me some water "He said. I sigh. Lazy butt. I stood up and left him.

I walked my way to the kitchen. I grab a glass.

I walk to the fridge to get cold water.

But...

I saw a note stick to the refrigerator.

Look Behind You

Its exactly the same note I got last time when Jackson pranked me.

Wait Jackson?

I look behind."I'm sorry Jaebum" I dropped the glass and it shattered.

Jackson was holding a knife and almost stab me.

"Jackson what the heck do you think your doing!" I backed away.

Jackson was crying. He is crying and I don't know why.

"He made me do it...I have to do it."He chanted and once again lunge at me.

"Jackson No!"I ran to the living room and find something useful to block away the sharp object.

"Jaebum please don't make it much more harder!" He ran towards me and I block the knife with a lamp.

"Jackson please stop. Talk to me please. Who made you do this? Why would you kill me?!" We fought for dominance and my hand is starting to tire up.

"You shouldn't have move. Now that you know. He won't let you live!"Jackson yell and I don't know what is the meaning of what he's saying.

He raised his knife and aim for my stomach. I was a little late to react. He slice my stomach.

"ugh...Jackson please. Tell me why are you doing this? Don't kill me please!" I beg and ran away upstairs. I ran fast he followed. I entered my room and locked it fast. Jackson banged at it.

My breathing is uneven. My wound is bleeding. I opened the window for escape.

"Ah!"

But the door opened...The knife flew to my thigh. It pierced my flesh and it hurts.

I turn around with my most strength.

"Jackson..please" I breathed out.

"Too late Jae...If only you didn't become to curious. If only you didn't stuck your nose into other people's life." Jackson walk slowly towards me.

I inhaled and tried to take out the knife. It hurts. It fucking hurts.

"Ahhhh" I breathed out and took out the knife. It was too much for me already. I can't move. I don't want to hurt him.

But he is not Jackson...

I aim the knife at him and stab it at his stomach.
Jackson tried to stop me but he was too late.

His was too late either...

We both fell down to the floor. Hard. it cause the old floor to break and we fell in the basement.

"J-Jaebum"He called. I tried my best to look at him.

"You must go" He said. I crawled my way to him.

"You should go Jae...He will find a way to kill you Jae. He even made me do it-" Blood spill out his mouth.

"What do you mean?! What the fuck Jackson? You made me kill you What do you think your doing? Who made you do this? W-Why?"I sob hard. I can't continue what I can say. My tears block away my vison and it becomes blurry.

"Why would you kill your friend?" I said last.

Jackson was coughing.

"You were my friend. Why Jackson you stupid idiot!" I screamed.cI tried to stand up but the pain was too much at my leg. The bleeding didn't stop at my stomach and I'm feeling nauseous.

Jackson grabbed my hand weakly.

"Save yourself. You need to know who killed Youngjae. You need to know the truth."
He coughed. I cried.

"Thanks Jae...For the memories. You need to know I never wanted to kill you. I'll rather kill you than let him kill you. Jae see you"He said and I held his hand tight.

"Jackson no...No! Jackson!"
I shook his body. You can't. You have to live. Why would you leave without any reason.

"No..." I sob and tears wont stop. I can't stop screaming and cry. This pain is larger than my wounds.

He is gone. Jackson is dead

My grieving continued.
Jackson's lifeless body lies beside me. His cold hand tangled with mine.

My friend. The only friend who remembers my birthday. The only friend that made my life a living hell but happy. The only friend that was there for me.

Jackson. I hate you. You left me.

I sob hard. I don't know what to do. My stomach is still bleeding and My thigh hurts as well.

"Jaebum" I heard a voice called.

"Jaebum..." Somebody cried.

"I'm sorry" It was Youngjae. I lifted my head to look at him. He was standing there crying.

"I didn't do anything. I should have help but I can't" He cried.

I grab something to make me sit up. I grab one of the bird cages that hang beside me. It hurts to move and cause me to bleed more.

"Where did you go?" I ask. "You were gone" I added.
He was crying hard.

"Youngjae answer me"I said.
He look at me.

"This is all my fault. He died because of me." He cried.

"What do you mean?" I said weakly.

"I remember now Jaebum.I gained my memories"
