Someone was calling your name. You looked around to see dead bodies lying everywhere. They were cut into pieces and it looked gruesome but for some reason you felt comfortable. You saw your father kneeling on the ground, calling your name. But there was someone else calling your name too. Who was it?

You spun around too see your mother floating in midair, her face looking peaceful. She was mildly smiling, a smile that you had seen so many times when you were child. She smiled at you and then her eyes trailed off to your father. A sentence formed on her lips.

"Kill him."

Hypnotized, you walked over to your father, holding a knife over him.

"Smile." You heard Jeff's voice but he was no where to be seen. A cruel smile curved on your lips as you dug your knife into him. Blood spattered everywhere but surprisingly it felt very satisfying...

"Oh? Why are you smiling?"

Your eyes shot open and you saw Jeff lying beside you.

A dream? What a strange dream.  You sat up and looked at the time. It was only five minutes before seven..

"Were you having a dream about me?" He said with a wide grin on his face.

"Umm... Sorta..." You answered, a bit dazed.

"Tell me about it."

"...I don't really remember much." You lied. "I'm gonna go to school now. Where will you go?"

"I'll wait for you here."

"Huh? You sure?" You asked, a bit perplexed. He nodded.

"Umm..." You hesitated. "Ok, if you're bored you can watch TV or use my laptop."

You weren't exactly sure whether it was a good idea to leave Jeff alone in your apartment or not, but after everything he had done, it might not be so bad to trust him. Maybe he would bring one of his victims here to cheer you up perhaps. What a strange guy.

You were secretly hoping that the test would be postponed due to the yesterday's murder but it turned out that you had been expecting too much. Classes still went on but a handful of cops were still investigating around school and had prohibited students from entering the girls' bathroom so everyone had to use the boys' bathroom.

You felt a bit miserable during your (least favorite subject) test because you haven't studied a tiny bit. To kill some time, you drew Jeff on your scratch paper.

 Jeff... what an extraordinarily mysterious guy. He had tried to kill you and now he was the only thing that cheered you up in this messed up life. But what would happen to you? If you fell in love with him, it was hardly possible to spent the rest of your life with him. How would your romance end? Would he kill you someday? Would he leave you if the cops found out you were involved with him? Thousands of questions ran through your mind and suddenly you felt sad. True, you had only met him a few days ago but what would become of you if he was gone? You'd feel awfully lonely without him.

"(n), what are you doing?" The teacher stood above you, his eyes fixed on your drawing."Why are you drawing him?"

You thought for a moment to think of a good excuse.

"Well... I was trying to concentrate and I remembered they showed him on TV the other day." You explained. It was a pretty bad excuse. Did you screw up? Would he tell the cops?

"Please pay attention to your test." The teacher said, walking off quietly. That was pretty creepy, you had to admit. For both of you. You just hoped, he'd wave it off and just consider it as some teenage fan art.

You coudln't help but feel very like everyone around was suspicious of you. It was very bothersome. Especially since you did hide something. You were involved with Jeff the killer, to whom you had lost your virginity  and you wished no one would suspect something like that from you.

You could feel the cops taking a glance at you every once in a while as if they were secretly trying to read your soul. 'I am innocent, I am innocent' you thought to yourself, but nevertheless you were only lying to yourself. Your innocence and purity was lost to a psychopath and still you had no regrets.

At last, school ended and you could finally walk away from these people that tormented you with their suspicion. You headed to back to your apartment where Jeff was in, doing god knows what.

You unlocked the door and stepped in your apartment as you hear voices coming from the kitchen.

"So ah... am I supposed to press this button or something?"

"If you put this thing on fire, I'll gut your ass, you hear me?"

"Why don't you do it if you're such a smart ass, Jeff"?

"Because you'e the one who knows how to prepare them, E.J!"

"I told you, I eat them raw!"

You stood on your heel and slowly proceeded to see what the commotion was.

Standing beside Jeff, you saw a tall boy wearing a black hoodie, his brown hair was sticking out and he was wearing a blue mask that only left holes for his eyes. However, he did not seem to have any eyes. You could only stare into his black empty sockets with what seems like black liquid coming out of them.

"Woah! That's (n)? Not bad I'd say." He playfully dug his arm into Jeff's ribs.

"Fuck! She already here and we still haven't started preparing yet!" Jeff grabbed panicked onto his hair.

"Err... what's going on?" You questioned. Your eyes trailed around, only to find a pair of kidneys on the table.

"You see, Jeff's so in love with you, he wanted to make lunch for you and called me out on the middle of the day to help him!" The masked boy explained.

"So... why kidneys?"

"Well, I got these from a chick Jeff killed yesterday and he thought you might like it."

So... these were Marie's kidneys? Why would you even eat her kidneys? You hated Marie a lot but eating her kidneys wasn't really necessary. It was only gross.

"Um... thank you Jeff for your sweet consideration and thank you..."

"Eyeless Jack."

"..Eyeless Jack for helping him, but I think I'll be fine without eating those. How about I make you a steak instead?" You tried your best to smile regardless of the fact that there was a pair of human kidneys in your home.

"I'm good. But can I eat these instead?" He pointed at the kidneys.

"Uhh, yeah sure... suit yourself." You nodded.

"See, Jeff? I told you she wouldn't like it!" Eyeless Jack said and slightly moved his mask to devour the kidneys. You shuddered and looked away, preparing to grill the steak you had promised.

As you finished cooking, you set the steak on the table. Despite rejecting your offer, Eyeless Jack took a piece of it to taste it. Jeff grabbed a bite as well.

"Is it good?" You asked.

"Yeah, but I like the kidneys better." Eyeless Jack answered.

"Yeah but not as good as you." Without a warning, Jeff pulled you on the table and kissed you passionately. "I missed you." He whispered.

"Uhh ok? This is getting weird. I think I should go... thanks for the food though." Eyeless Jack noted and stood up to leave. Just with that, he was gone.

"..."

Indeed, it was very weird to suddenly start making out while still eating but what could you expect from Jeff? It was hardly surprising for him to pull off something like that.

But you were disrupted from kissing (and eating) as the phone suddenly rang. Who could be calling you? You stood up to answer it.
