Jeff The Killer... Is My Best Friend..?

Chapter 4

The rest of the week went by rather quickly. During that time I was able to learn of Jason's habits and found that he stayed after school on most days as he was in the robotics club. It was quite strange. He didn't strike me as the type of person who was into that kind of thing as most of the kids in robotics were classified as "the geeks". Sometimes, if they were hanging out together during school they were referred to as "the geek squad" by none other than Jason's group of friends. I wondered how he kept his involvement with the robotics club a secret from his group of "friends". Also from what I have seen, he seemed to be on good terms with everyone else in the club. I wondered if he lied to them and claimed that he only fakes being friends with those bullies or maybe that whole thing was just an act... Anyone who wasn't friends with them got picked on every day so maybe he joined to avoid that... With him, I wasn't sure what to think.

Slendy seemed quite pleased with the information I gathered in the last few days. Hearing that boosted my confidence however when it came to Jeff... Well... He was still against the whole idea of me killing Jason. I know he made a promise to keep me safe but we aren't children anymore... I just want to know what is going on in that twisted mind of his...

I reached home safely after school, thanks to Jeff and quickly went to my bedroom. There, I locked the door and quickly opened my window and let Jeff inside. It was super risky to have him visit during the day but we had to go over the plan as this night was the night of the party. Luckily for us, my mother was asleep and my father would be at work late again.

"So, you remember the plan?" Jeff asked as he plopped down on my bed.

"Totally and I am so ready. The party is said to start at seven-thirty so we will go at around eight-thirty when it gets dark and busy." I replied and sat facing him while holding the yearbook that I had picked up off my desk.

"Yeah and by then I am willing to bet that most people will be quite drunk. Teens who like to party don't waste time in getting hammered. This will work to my advantage because everyone will be so drunk that even if they do notice me there, they won't have any memory of it the next day."

"From what I have learned from following Jason around he isn't that big of a drinker but hopefully tonight he will have at least a few drinks. I just need him wasted enough for me to lure him away without suspicion." I had opened up my yearbook to the random page where I kept my notes on Jason. On the paper, I had written everything I learned about him which included his habits and schedule for the whole week. "And as our backup plan, if tonight fails then we will go after him tomorrow when he is at his father's house."

"Right, and luckily for us, his father is an alcoholic who is at the bar most of the time so it would just be a matter of breaking in." Jeff then leaned towards me. His face was so close I could feel his warm breath against my face. We were so close that I couldn't stop my face turning a bright shade of red. "Whatever happens, I want you to promise me that nothing will go wrong tonight."

"Of course... but why are you saying this? You will be with me too... right?"

"Unfortunately no..." He pulled back and leaned against the headboard of my bed, his arms crossed in a pout. "The Boss said that he didn't want me to interfere and possibly kill him if I felt things weren't going according to plan. On the bright side, I guess, he did agree to let E.J watch in the distance."

"Well knowing you Jeff, you would jump out and stab him if you felt I was in the slightest amount of danger. I think Slendy was right to remove you from the situation." At this, Jeff snapped his head in my direction. That was definitely something he didn't want to hear. "You have to admit, you are too protective over me Jeff. This is my hunt and Jason is my kill. I can't have you doing my work for me. I have already gotten this far on my own and I need to prove myself to Slendy."
