He's Got Me

    It was a dark summers night when it happened. Skylar and Jackson were bored, so tjey made up a game called "The Card Man".

   The game was, you rolled a die and if you rolled a 6, 3, or 1, you'd have to say "he's gonna get me" three times. Then you'd have to wait alone in a pitch black room for 3 hours. When the time was up, you'd have to come out of the room and whisper "he's gonna get me" until you supposedly hear someone say it back.

    Jackson rolled first, when he rolled a 5, he was so realived! Then Skylar rolled. She rolled a 6. Her eyes got very big. Jackson and Skylar looked at eachother and Jackson said "you can't back down". "I know" she replied.

    So she went into her bedroom, and tirned all the lights and stuff off. She shut the door and said "he's gonna get me, he's gonna get me, he's gonna get me". She sat on her bed. After 2 1/2 hours, she then started to spaz out. Jackson calmed her down by reminding her that it was all fake. Then Skylar repeatedly said "It's not real" until the time was up.

    When Jackson opened the door, her eyes had to adjust to the bright lights. Jackson told her to start saying it, but NO FAKING! Skylar said it for about 10 minutes, on about the 11th minute, she heard a scratchy whisper that said "I gotcha now, girl". Skylar said "Jackson stop"! "I didn't do anything"! He replied.

    "OMFG! I heard him, I heard him and he sounded horrible. You said he wasn't real", "Now I'm gonna die a horrible death!" Skylar screamed. "No you're not cuz I'm gonna protect you with my life." said Jackson Then he promised her like a bazillion times.

    Skylar didn't want to sleep in her room, so her and Jackson slept on the living room floor. Skylar woke up at 3:15 AM and heard the scratchy-whisper-voice again. She quickly woke up Jackson. He said that he would sit with her on the couch until she falls back asleep.

    They sat on the couch for 5 minutes in silence, then they turned on the TV. The show that was on was a documentary on how to make a move on the person you /like/. (reminding you that Skylar /likes/ Jackson.) She changed the channel so quickly, it wasn't even funny.

    They were so tired, but didn't go to sleep. Finally, Skylar made a move and kissed Jackson. While she was kissing him, his eyes were wide open in shock. when she stoped, he asked what is was for and she said "because he is real and he has got me" "what are you talikng about?" Jackson asked

    "He has got me and i'm as good as dead." Then she walked over to the window and jumped out of her own 4 story apartment. Jackson screamed at the sight of her splattered body on the cold hard ground.

    Jackson called 911. When they got there, they asked what happened, so he told them. Of course they didnt believe him. He was convicted of murder and sent to an asylum for the criminally insane.
