Close the Walls (Eyeless Jack X Reader)

Chapter 21; Old Man

"Ben was being a bitch and cheating." I growled looking passed Jack into the forest.

"Yeah, Ben can be a bitch." Jack nodded still wearing his mask.

"You know I hate when you wear that thing." I sorta lie wanting him to take it off. "I can never see your expressions and of course your face." I laugh a little.

"Oh is that why you've been avoiding me?" He asked jokingly taking his blue mask off.

"I haven't been avoiding you, I'm just giving you space... your probably sick of me by now!" I laugh at the self depriving joke.

"No, I'm not sick of you. I've been doing the same thing honestly, giving you space." He smiles slightly at me. "Anyway, Slendy found your old man. He wants to know if you want to kill him?"

"I-I guess... I mean I'll do what 7 year old me was trying to do, it could help me get my head on straight." I smile back and then bring my attention back to the trees.

"Great I'll tell Slendy," He starts to walk away putting his mask back on. "Hey, don't be a stranger!" I turn to see waving at me with his back turned.

"I won't!" I say to him happily, watching him go in the house. I stood there happy being able to speak to Jack for awhile, something about the forest made me feel safe.

Ever since I could remember I've always been pull towards woods and forests, something about them made me feel better. I don't know if it's the curiosity of what may be out there or the melodies of nature. I've been secluded from so much that loneliness only felt normal, like when you speak to an old friend that you've known since you were 3.

The wind started to whip around me sending shivers down my spine, I look up to see black clouds rolling in. I sighed and knew it meant rain was coming, I crossed my arms and refused to go in till I saw lightning.

Rain started to drip on my skin, I let my eyes return to the leaves of the trees. The rain taps the leaves adding the shaking the wind already provided. The rain pace quicken it was on the verge of poring, I sat down and let it slowly soak me worse and worse.

In a matter of minutes lightning cracked across the sky and it started to really pour, I stood up and heard a voice call out to me. "(Y/N)!! WHY ARE YOU STILL OUT HERE!?" I knew it was Jack's voice immediately, I turned and he stood in the door motioning for me to come inside.

I nodded and walked over to the door, moving the soaked hair from my face. I walked to him and smiled, the cold air of the house hit me and I shook my head. "You cold?" He asks, I nod shivering. He sighs, "you're going to get a cold out there in the rain." His voice emotionless and he walks over to a closet pulling out a towel.

He walks over wraps it around my shoulders, "t-thanks." I say shivering a little, he nods and walks off. I hold the towel on me and walk up to my room, the window sat wide open with rain dripping in. "Shit... I forgot to close it." I take the towel from my shoulders and toss it on the floor and clean the water up and close the window.

I strip down and change into some random clothes I had, I walk into the bathroom and brush my hair out and pull it up. I look at the clock, 1:28.
