is this love or a walk to remember?

chapter 2

        Three years had passed and I had been traveling while keeping in touch with my relatives of course. I was now 19 years old and help my younger cousin Emma, aunt Emily's daughter with her blog whenever I was available to help and not busy but this time, I'm ready to go home and face what happened 3 years ago... 
       
I drove through the forest in my car and pulled up to the mansion, not much had changed it seems but Emma did say that Jack or now everyone refers to him as eyeless jack who eats kidneys now which made me feel either disturbed or disgusted. Once I stepped out of the car, I hear the crunching of the fallen leaves under my boots as I closed the door and walked up to the wooden steps that now let out a creaking noise. 

"Hey! who are you and state your business or else I'll kill you if you're another fangirl or some kind of stalker" someone said behind me as i whipped around and saw him with a knife. His brown hair raggedy as I remember, his skin was pale now and wore dark clothes with a blue mask with eye holes with black streaks down it. 

"calm down, I'm not a stalker," I said to him as now I wore an off-shoulder sweater with a strapped tank top under it and i wore jeans over my warm leggings as it was still cold even though it's spring now.

"then-" he was soon cut off by another car puling up as I was soon hugged by my cousin Shiloh, she was barely around 3 months older than I am really. 

"it's Maxine, you dimwit," Shiloh told Jack hitting him in the head with her fist who yelped in pain and shielded his head.

"Hey! I didn't know who she is! my mind feels like I know her from somewhere though, oh heck I'm going inside and nap" Jack mumbles as he marched inside the house.
       
I smiled at Shiloh as we stepped inside and was greeted by everyone at the house. I went upstairs finding Eyeless Jack staring at my bedroom door as he approached him and puts my hand on his shoulder.

"hey, what are you doing here?" I asked him out of curiosity. 

"I feel like something in my mind is calling me to go here and look for something that might clear my fogged up mind" Eyeless Jack lifted up his mask revealing his empty eye sockets with black streaks as if it was tears down his face.

"then let me take you somewhere that might clear your mind..." I spoke softly to him but knew Dr.Smiley and uncle Slender would be mad...oh well...they can deal with Aunt Emily's wrath instead.
       
He agreed to follow me to a lake as i could feel the pain and guilt building up inside of me again though...This part of the lake just makes me want to run away from remembering what happened here...but when I looked at Jack's expression as I enter twined my hand into his as I felt his hand gripped mine.

"...this place...i...i...remember now...the heathers who I killed....even those jocks...caused me to become like this" he spoke softly before looking at me.

"i was about to do this before they ambushed us..." he puts his other hand on my cheek as I felt myself heat up when our faces were near each other as our noses were almost touching.
   
    I closed my eyes as I felt us kiss as I began to wrap my arms around his neck with his arms around my waist pulling me closer as our kiss went in deeper. I felt my guilt and pain slowly go away as if my problems had been solved by one simple thing. We sat at the lake skipping some rocks and remising some old memories we had when growing up together in High school. Though I wonder if Dr. Smiley and uncle Viktor figured out that we've been gone for a few hours. I shrugged off the thought and smiled resting my head on Jack's shoulder as we watched the sunset together.
