Back to the Chapter

Ruby was sitting in the middle of the room, on a table that could occupy two chairs. Ruby sat on one side as the other chair was empty, reserved for her friend: Liu. Ruby knew all about him and his family because Ruby and her mother knew Liu and his family. At least they knew them before they moved to another city. Besides from Erisa and Zach, Ruby considered Liu a very close friend in her life. Ruby and her mother were really close with Liu's family, including Jeff himself, so it was heartbreaking yet horrific to hear about the tragedy after, when Ruby was fifteen. As clear as daylight, Ruby remembered the first time she met Liu's younger brother.

Ruby's POV

The first time I met Jeffrey Woods was when I was very young, perhaps around 5 years old. Me and my mom moved into a new house in a new state. Where we had previously stayed became too old to live in and broken down. Luckily, me and my mom weren't in the house at the time so no harm was done, except the house. Currently, we still live there.

I met his parents as we moved in and asked if my mom if I wanted to play with their children, Liu and Jeff, whilst they helped my mom out with moving the boxes inside our 'new' house. Before I knew it, I was playing and talking with Jeff's brother, Liu. I was two years older than Jeff yet Liu was my age which made it easier for me to cope.

Over the years, I got to know Liu and Jeff more. I considered them as a second family, because besides from my mom, I don't have any other relatives. My mom never talked about my dad before, except his death. We'd come to their house and have dinner together sometimes, which was easy because we lived next to each other, and vice versa. We would also go to the same school which was about a ten minute walk. But our parents would normally drop us off for safety measures. 

I can recall a time where me and Liu came walking back from school, exhausted and brain-fried from the tests we had. When we finally reached our houses, the front door of Liu's house swung right open. Jeff had been the one to do this, apparently to make it more dramatic. He came rushing out the house, took me and Liu and forced us inside the house. Although, I had developed a headache after school, I was more concern about Jeff than I was for myself. But then I realised that I shouldn't have, because Jeff had done a terrible mistake and tried to pin it on me and Liu. I walked out of their house and into mine and slept on the couch the rest of the afternoon. 

In summary, I used to consider Jeff as the little brother I never had. He may have been an asshole, mostly, but he was the kind of guy that cared.

But now, I don't know what to think of Jeff... or Liu. My relationship with Liu is complicated, that I don't think Liu cares anymore.

Narrator

Ruby could not stop thinking about that man earlier before.

"It was an accident," Ruby muttered but continued to think in her head, "His first kill was his mother. That was the woman I saw in my mind first. Then he was found by a... monster. A Paley, white monster with no facial features on the face. This monster wore a black suit and always seemed to wear it every time Hoodie was around... or SLENDERMAN wears all the time."

Her thoughts were interrupted by the metal sound, hard but hollow, clattering on each other. Ruby looked up seeing a familiar person that she would see every Monday and every Thursday. Ruby met eye contact with Liu. His emerald bright eyes looking at her dark chestnut eyes. As Liu stepped into the sunlight, it revealed more of Liu's appearance. He wore an orange suit which suggested that was what prisoners wear. But besides that, Ruby could recognize something was different from Liu's facial features, his face became completely dirty with muck from the ground. Ruby did not almost perceive him as Liu until she noticed those familiar stitches on Liu's face. Liu had two stitches: One that went horizontally from the middle to above the nose and other stitch was at both ends of his mouth. They were long stitches, unlike his brother insane smile. Liu had told Ruby that he had gotten those when Jeff had tried to kill him but failed in doing so. His droopy, short brown hair was completely flat. Ruby could remember that Liu used to have smooth flowing hair, but that was before he went to jail. Prison does change how you look.
