(Eyeless Jack's POV)

I knew we would have to tell her sometime, but I didn't know he meant this soon..

To be honest I am not sure how she is taking this.

She knew about us being inhuman killers before all of this, I know because I told her.

But I never mentioned anything about who killed her past family, or that Slendy was her dad.

I'm sure her original reaction was to storm out, or maybe she was more upset than she let on, but I swear she saw me cry, and automatically toned it down.

Another thing that confuses me is that she patted my back on her way out of the room. It wasn't the kind of pat as to say "fuck you". It was more of a "relax" type thing.

I looked up to see Ben and Jeff looking worriedly at me. "Thank God you are okay. You've been zoned out for like 5 minutes!" Ben chirped.

I nodded and scratched my head, smiling a little to show I was okay. Then Masky and Hoodie came in with two empty plates, "Slendy said to tell you, it was the right thing to do, at least she knows now, and it's better we told her sooner, if we would've waited till her teen years, it would have literally been Hell."

"Yeah yeah I guess" I waved them off and left the room to visit mine. When I got there, I just sat on the bed, my bed was against the wall that faced Kenzie's room.

Our rooms were exactly across from each other, so if she had her door open, which she did, I could see in. I looked in from my room. I found her on her bed, listening to music through her headphones, literally staring at her wall.

She looked up and saw me watching her. She wasn't crying, but she was hurt. She made eye contact with me for about 10 seconds before I thought she turned away. I looked down and sighed.

I shoulda just told her everything. It was then I realized Mackenzie was right next to me on my bed, just watching me zone out.

I looked at her with the sorriest expression could give, but with the mask, all she saw was a cold-hearted killer.

She looked up and gave a small smile. To be honest, I wasn't sure what was happening. She hugged me, "So.." She spoke.

"I don't know what to say Kenzie-boo, I'm really sorry. I should've told you. I was your best friend and you trusted me, I blew it all and you were the first person to actually care about me!"

I let it all out, and on a 6 year old. I never thought that my life would come to this, having a 6 year old girl as my best and closest friend, but you know what? She's the best thing I could ask for. I wouldn't trade her for the world, and I hope she still feels that way too.

"You keep using past-tense. Why?" She asked with a look of regret, almost like she thought she did something wrong. "Because, I screwed everything up. Aren't you mad?"

"I'm not... mad.. I knew you were killers, and I had always questioned why Slender brought me here. But I wasn't expecting the part about you killing my family. I guess you could say I'm curious as to what else you are hiding from me, but other than that, I'm not sure what I feel."

"Well I can confidently tell you that's all we have been hiding from you, unless there's something they haven't told me. You have every right to hate us, to hate me now.

I know this doesn't change much, but I didn't know they were gonna kill your family, the original plan was to ask your mother how you were since that was part of Slendy's and her deal, which she broke. Then he decided to take you, and kill her for disrespecting him. However I wasn't there for the kill, I was here building a room for you."

She looked at me with scrunched eyebrows, "That changes a lot Jack! I thought you killed them too? At least I can let that go with you. And Jack?"

I looked up at her

"You will always be my best friend. Past, present, and future. Forever, no matter what. But please don't ever hide things from me again?"

I nodded, "I really don't deserve you Kenzie."

"Shut up Jack" she said and hugged me. I engulfed her in a tight hug, lifted up my mask just passed my mouth and kissed her forehead.

I then realized she still hadn't made up with the others, why me first? I then realized that she would be there for me forever, as would I for her.
