THIRD BOOK IN THE KILLER ROMANCE SERIES (SPOILER IF YOU HAVE NOT READ THE OTHER BOOKS) -+- There were two years and six months taken from you. Jeff described that time as being similar to Hell. He was there through thick and thin, but he didn't want you to have to deal with the pain. He did everything to keep his secret, yet you still wonder what the reasons for some of his actions were. He held empty promises, told lies, and even tried to make you live in a fake romance story. But in the end, all he wanted was to be in love with you. Right? These are those lost memories. -+- Jeff lived a conflicting life. None of his actions ever had a long-term effect. Kill, run, sleep, grieve. That's it. He feels his sanity go back and forth between light and dark as he experiences a feeling he's never felt before. He doesn't understand what it is, but it does seem to get him into a lot more trouble than usual. He wonders if fate has decided to bestow another chance upon him as a distant relative returns. Does he want to go back to his old ways? You snapped him into true insanity. -+- This is the third book in the Killer Romance series. Do not read unless you have read both "Killer Romance" and "Sweet Insomnia". It's written entirely from Jeff's point of view. (Jeff The Killer x Reader) (Reader Insert) I don't own Jeff and I don't own you. Picture used in the cover isn't mine. Credit to the creator. Fourth book, anyone? -+- I do not give doc truyen or any individual, website, organization, server, etc. the right to reproduce, post, publish, steal, etc. my stories and ideas.

Ten days? You have ten days left to live, but in those ten days, you have to act like you're dating him. What type of situation is that? A messed up one. Petty secrets... Incumbent lies... Weird, right? You don't even know this guy and, quite frankly, you're scared to death. It almost seems like fate is tempting you, slowly luring you into a black hole of what your life will soon be. But what will happen if Jeff seems to slowly attach himself to you? Will his protective actions be enough to keep away those dirty secrets and lies that are locked away in the barricades of his mind? Some lies may just be a cover, and some truths may lead to others, but there is an even bigger picture that you may not be alive to paint. Your life is about to turn into a nightmare. How many days will you last? (The reader is identified as female in this story. However, this does not mean other gender identities cannot read this.) -+- *1st Place in Jeff the Killer 2015 Summer Creepypasta Awards (@Creepypasta_Awards)* *1st Place in Creepy/Evil/Supernatural 2015 Summer xReader FanFiction Awards (@FanFiction_Awards)* *#210 in Fanfiction* -+- First book in the Killer Romance Series. (Jeff the Killer x Reader) I don't own Jeff the Killer and I don't own you. Most of the characters presented in this book do not belong to me. Picture used in the cover isn't mine. Credit to the creator. -+- 2023 UPDATE: I wrote this story almost 10 years ago when I was a teenager. Reading back through it now, I can see so many things I wish I wrote differently. So many things that I find just... cringy. It's one of the reasons I cannot complete the series. I really wish that one day I'll rewrite this entire thing to be more sensible. For now, I hope that you can enjoy what gave me so much joy as a teen. Thank you to everyone who has come back to leave such nice comments after so many years. I will return to writing one day.
