You're the darkness to my life

"Relax. You know how to do laundry right?"

My mom was dead. Alex's mom was dead. His whole family was dead. L's family was dead. How? Why? Who killed them?
I sniffled and wipped my eyes while glancing over at Alex. He was shocked. He was powering down. He always does this. Whenever something happens to him that caused for his emotions to go haywire his brain shuts off. He couldn't hear anything, see anything, feel anything, or even focus on anything.
L was going crazy. She had mascara running down her cheeks while she paced around and silently mumbled things. E.J. was trying to calm her down. It was useless. I understand. That was actually me half an hour ago. Jeff was trying to calm me down while I sobbed my eyes out in the woods after finding out. I had paced around the forest thinking of all the things I could have done to prevent this from happening. I'm sure the ground had permanent indents of my feet. After my break down we met up with the others and got them home before telling them what Jeff had told me.
"You knew?" L asked, a look of pure hatred crossing her eyes. I flinched under her stare and looked at the ground.
"I-i was going to tell you but I didn't know how. I just got you back. We were happy." E.J. tried to explain. He moved closer to her and she backed away immediately and ended up bumping into me slightly.
"How long?" she said barely above a whisper. I struggled to hear her and I was standing next to her. E.J.'s face scrunched up in confusion and he didn't know what to say.
"How long have they been dead?!" she screeched. I placed my hand on her arm to try and calm her down but she ripped her arm from me and rushed at E.J. She shoved her hands to his chest and pushed him. He took a couple steps back and black liquid had run down his cheek from underneath his sunglasses.
"S-since Jane took Alex." His stare was glued to the ground. My eyes sliced to Jeff and I was about to shred him with accusatory questions but L let out whimper. I couldn't stand to see this anymore.
"L, he thought he was protecting you. He didn't mean to hurt you. We're all hurting right now, don't take it out on him. He doesn't know who killed them." I squinted at him just to be sure and he shook his head fast. I tried to make her see sense. Her shoulders slumped over in defeat and she threw herself onto E.J. and let out gut wrenching sobs. He wrapped his arms around her and mouthed the words "Thank you" at me.
I chewed on my lip as I made my way to Alex who was sitting on the love seat with his head in his hands. He dug his palms into his eyes and twisted so hard I was scared he'd hurt himself. I gently took hold of his wrists and pulled his hands away from his face. I could see the tears welling up and he struggled to hold them back. His eyes were irritated from rubbing them so hard that his eyes had turned bloodshot.
"You did this" he whispered. Who is he talking about? I wrinkled my eyebrows confused and waited for him to continue. He pushed me away roughly and I let out a yelp as I landed on my butt a couple feet away. He rose from the seat and glared down at me.
"Wha-"

"You did this. You killed them. You and your 'friends' I told you they weren't normal. Something bad was bound to happen when you hang out with a bunch of serial killers" he snarled at me. My world was crashing and I couldn't even grab anything to stop me from dying.
My heart was pounding in my ears as I was thinking of something, anything to say to him to make him take back those words. I couldn't think about that. It wasn't my fault someone decided to kill them. Crazy things happen.
"I hate you" he spat at me. My heart was breaking and I couldn't even form words to tell him it's not true. He loves me. He always has. "You killed them. You killed your mom."
I stumbled to stand up and tried to tell him everything on my mind but nothing came out. Nothing because what he was saying was true. As I finally rose to my 5'1 inches he moved closer to me and crinkled his nose in disgust. He let out a tsk sound and mumbled pathetic.
"You are nothing. Nothing." he rose his hand to strike at me and I didn't even move because I knew he was right. I deserved every bit of his wrath. I didn't deserve pity and I wasn't going to ask for it. I closed my eyes and waited for him to hit me. To be done with all of this.
"If you touch her I'll cut of your hand" Jeff growled out. I opened my eyes to see Alex's wrist in Jeff's hand and them facing each other off.
"You can keep her. She's a freak anyways." Alex pulled away from Jeff and stormed off upstairs. I let out a breath and crumpled to the floor.
What was I going to do now. Everything I had. Everything I loved ripped away from me in a matter of hours.
A whimper escaped my lips and I brought my hands to my eyes willing the tears to stay there. I didn't want to cry. I didn't want to be weak. But there was no way of holding these tears back.
I cried into my hand and hoped no one would notice just how red and blotchy my face was.
"He's wrong about you" Jeff sat down next to me and coughed into his hand. I could tell that he's not one for emotions like this but he was trying. And that meant so much right now.
I cried even more now because Jeff, a serial killer with no emotions cared about me more than my best friend. How could I let this happen? Why was this happening?
Jeff put his arm around me and pulled me close so that I could cry into his sweater.
"No I'm gonna get buggers on your sweater." I tried to protest. When a snot bubble formed and popped in my face I let out another sob because that was so embarrassing and I'm definitely weak.
Jeff laughed and guided my head to his shoulder.
"Relax. You know how to do laundry right?"
I snorted and pushed him away from me. But when I realized I was smiling I stopped. How could I be smiling at a time like this?
"Hey. You have every right to smile. You need it." Jeff nudged my shoulder and I looked at the ground trying to hold back my smile. He shrugged "Besides you look cute when your dimple shows."
I felt my cheeks her warm and I quickly got up and moved away from him.
"Julie I didn-" I ignored his remarks and pushed passed L who had stopped crying and was now watching us.
I climbed the stairs as fast as my short legs could go. I couldn't deal with this. I didn't need people to hit on me. I needed Alex.
When I got to our room I found the door open and Alex was grabbing his clothes and packing them in a duffel. I stayed by the entrance and watched him, terrified that he would freak out again. So many questions came to mind. What was he doing? Why was he packing? Where was he going? Where would he go?
"Where did you get the duffel?" I blurted out without thinking. Alex was taken aback and let out a chuckle.
"It was already on the bed." his smile faded and he shrugged "guess someone knew this was gonna happen."
I felt my throat tighten and my breaths were coming in short. I let out a raspy "please"
"Please what Julie? I can't- I can't stay here. I can't even look at you." he didn't say it harshly like before. He said it softer. Painfully. He paused and turned to look at me before he looked away again. His face twisted in pain.
"D-don't leave me. I love you." He shook his head and continued to pack. "Y- you don't even need to look at me. Just please. Take me with you. Don't leave me."
"I-i" he sighed heavily before throwing his hands in the air. "Pack your shit bunny. We are getting the fuck outta here"
I was about to burst into more tears. I sniffles before I ran to him and jumped wrapping my legs around him. He chuckled and wrapped his arms around me.
"You're going with him after everything he said?"
