A Little Too Close ||14||

Jeff's P.O.V

Once y/n had started to bathe herself,I joined in.I didn't want to make things uncomfortable so I made sure we had some space in between us.

I lifted my hoodie from my body and placed it on the grassy ground,I cupped my hands to let water inside.I rubbed off the dirt and dried blood,I tried my best to face the other way,I didn't want to seem like a creep.

Y/n's P.O.V

I was washing my face and my hair when I saw Jeff taking off his hoodie,he had alot of cuts and bruises on his back and around his arms.
I wanted to ask about it,but his head turned a I bit and I quickly faced the other way.

A little flustered,I continued to wash my hair,red was washing away in the river,it felt nice even if it was cold water at least I got to have a bath.I washed the cut on my arm,it stung when I touched it but I got most of the extra blood off it.

My clothes were still damp from the rain,I wanted to get new ones but my bag was still left in his old car.

I ran my fingers through my hair and got all of the knots out of it.

"Do you think Toby will have extra clothes at his house?" I asked,loud enough for Jeff to hear through the sounds of the active river.

"Uh,I don't know.But uh,if you need something else to wear..here."

I looked behind me,Jeff was handing me his hoodie,I hesitated to grab it.

"Thank you,I'll make sure to not ruin it." I smiled and grabbed the soft clothing.

It felt warm,so,I got out of the river and started to take off the sticky and gross shirt I had on but before I could replace it with Jeff's hoodie,Jeff stopped me.

I froze,but slowly turned.He was eyeing my exposed stomach,he shakingly reached out his hand and traced the mark Jack had carved in me.A circle with an x through it.His breath got shakey as he spoke.

"Jack really did like hurting you alot,I can't ever imagine why.."
It sounded like a whisper,but,I could clearly hear him.

I think once he knew what he was doing,he quickly stopped and apologized.

"It's okay,I barely even notice that thing anyway." I said.

I slid my socks back on and then along with my shoes.

"What're you gonna wear now?" I asked as Jeff climbed out of the river.

"I'm sure I'll find something in the guys car." Jeff said,grabbing his keys and knife off of the ground,pressing a unlock button,we both walked back to the car and peered into the open trunk.

Surprisingly,it had a few pieces of clothing.Jeff picked on up and unfolded it.
It was a long sleeve,but it was a turtle neck.

"Uhg gross." Jeff dropped it and picked up another one,I chuckled.

"You should totally wear the turtle neck." I said,picking it back up again.

"I'd rather wear a crop top." He said,stretching out the clothing.

It was a white short sleeve shirt,but it had a rainbow across it.

I started to laugh,Jeff chuckled at me.

"Come on it's either wear the rainbow or the black turtle neck haha" I patted Jeff's back,he groaned while he threw the rainbow shirt back into trunk and shutting it.

"Now we're talking!" I said,I chuckled again.

"Oh shut it." He cursed under his breath.

He placed it over his head and pulled it down over his stomach,his black hair was almost camouflage compared to the color of the shirt.
He seemed uncomfortable in the shirt,it was kinda funny.

"Would you like to switch?" I asked,he shook his head.

"Uhhhh,well, see now I'm embarrassed.." He said back.

I laughed as I pulled the bottom of the hoodie up and over my head,Jeff moved his gaze to the side.

Jeff did the same with his shirt.

And so we switched,his hoodie was surprisingly really warm comfortable.

"You laugh at me too much." Jeff complained,I rolled my eyes and scoffed.

"Is that a problem?" I joked.

"Kind of,if I die,you'll won't have anyone to laugh at." He stated,his voice got kinda low.

"Die? Well that's extreme." I mumbled.

"Well it's bound to happen at some point."

We both got into the car and he started it,I turned on the radio.

"She's been missing for a few days now,her aunt Connie has been asking everyone around,police have searched everywhere they could.Connie states "I had to stay late for work,when I got back she wasnt at the house and I saw some car driving away,I was afraid she had been kidnapped again,and I'm afraid that might be the case." "

I turned it off,I didn't want to hear it anymore.

"That about you?" He asked.

I nodded
"I hate hearing it everytime,it makes me get goosebumps." I admitted.

"It's alright y/n,I'm sure it'll be worth it."

I sighed and tried to change the subject to something more lighthearted,I kinda wanted to hear more about him and his past.

Jack never told me about his past.

Jeff told me his interests as a kid,they were normal interests,nothing specific or special.
His brother was the same way,he told me they were very close and were willing to sacrifice anything for one another.

"That sounds so great,I would love to have a connection like that with my brother or sister,I mean,if I had one." I chuckled.

Jeff's mouth moved a little,I couldn't tell if he was smiling or frowning.

"Did Jack ever tell you about his past?" Jeff asked.

"No,he didn't,I asked once but..I don't know,I should just ask when I see him again." I said,wiggling in my seat,excited to finally see him after so long.

"Yeah,when you see him..."
Jeff's hands tightened around the steering wheel,his body got tense again and his voice got low.
