The time we spent together

I wake up yawning,my hair messy and my clothing wrinkled.¨Today’s the day..gotta look good for my date..¨ I say as I get dressed after I finish getting ready for the date I walk to the alley downtown where me and Jeff were supposed to meet.¨This place is all musty…Jeff where are you!?I’m here! Show yourself.¨ I say out loud fixing my hair,I then see Jeff standing by me.

¨I’ll be honest.I didn’t think you’d show up.¨ Jeff says as I cross my arms.¨The promise of you getting the hell out of here was too good to pass up.¨ I say looking at the pavement. ¨Don’t try to act cool..you know you want me babe.¨ Jeff says walking a bit closer with a grin, the scars on his face making his smile very disturbing.

¨Let’s just get this day over with.¨ I say as Jeff takes my hand and we walk around. After a while of walking around my legs start hurting I then speak. ¨Jeff..we’ve been walking around for an hour.¨ I complain as I sit down on a bench.¨We gotta wait for the right moment.¨ Jeff says as he sits by me.¨How do you know when the right moment is?¨ I ask as i move a bit away from Jeff.

¨Well,I usually just kinda know,Like it just feels right..Now it feels right..¨ Jeff finishes saying as someone walks over by me and him and starts to speak.¨Hey gorgeous, what are you doing with this loser?¨ The man asks putting his hand on my thigh.¨Dude,you might just wanna leave..¨ I say as I move a bit closer to Jeff. ¨ aw,I guarantee I’m better than this guy.¨ The man says, grabbing my wrists and making me stand up.

¨I don’t deny that..but for real just leave you’ll regret it if you don’t.¨ I say shoving him, taking my wrists back. Jeff then speaks ¨You should listen to the girl..¨ Jeff says, pulling out his knife. ¨Wait..is t-that a knife?You think I’m scared of a pure weakling like you?Wanna fight?!¨ The man asks as he backs up a bit.

¨Gladly!¨ Jeff says as I quickly speak ¨Run moron!¨ I yell at the man. ¨Stay outta this doll face!¨ The man says taking a step closer to Jeff before anyone could say anything or do anything Jeff begins to Laugh as he begins stabbing the man over and over again.¨Took care of him for you.¨ Jeff says with blood all over his white hoodie.

¨Gee,Thanks such a gentleman.¨ I say with a slight smile.¨It could be like this forever,Jade.I can get rid of anyone who wrongs you.¨ Jeff says, taking a step closer to me, his smile as bright as day as blood drips from the scars on his cheeks..kinda makes him look like he’s always smiling.

¨You’re getting a little too obsessed too quick..your cute as in like a tumbler kinda way..but I don’t want an overprotective kinda guy especially if he’s a serial killer.¨ I say looking down at the dead body. ¨Then why do I feel so connected to you?! I-¨ Jeff yells as he then takes a breath. ¨..Sorry,sorry..That was crazy even for me.¨ Jeff says with a sigh as he makes eye contact with mine. ¨I think you need a drink..you clearly got some emotions you need to let out..c’mon I got drinks in my room.¨ I say as i smile at him.

¨Y-yeah..sounds good..¨ Jeff says as me and him walk to my place.¨Take this.¨ I say handing him a thing of beer. ¨Thanks..¨ Jeff says looking down at the can he’s holding.¨You okay,Jeff?I mean relatively speaking..¨ I ask a bit worried about him.

¨You won’t look me in the eyes..¨ I say looking up at him. ¨I’m fine..I just havent been around people much in a while..well live people to be specific.¨ Jeff says looking at me as I see a frown on his face but no matter what emotion he made he’d keep looking as if he was smiling because of the scars.

¨You might be able to form more relationships if you stopped killing people.I think it might be too late at this point actually..But you could have in the past.¨ I say sitting down on my bed.¨No..the second I changed,my fate was sealed.¨ Jeff says with a sigh.¨Changed?¨ I ask looking up at Jeff.

¨When I was thirteen,My family moved to a new town..Some neighborhood punks started stuff with me and my brother..I couldn’t and can’t explain it but I felt this urge to kill..Those kids got my brother sent away for something I did. During another fight with one of them I turned out disfigured.My brother ended up being proven innocent after that..but the urge to kill never went away..When I left the hospital even my family became targets I carved a smile Into my face,Killed them all and never looked back..That was about seventeen years ago Ive became addicted to the thrill of taking human lives..But you…There’s no urge to kill you..Just an urge to be around you..¨ Jeff says taking a seat by me.

¨Wow..how romantic.¨ I say with a smile as I began to laugh. ¨ I’m serious,Jade..I think were soulmates.¨ Jeff says, looking at me with a smile. ¨Woah- slow down there buddy boy..you don’t even know anything about me!¨ I say as I protest. ¨Okay then tell me about your.Favorite music?.¨ Jeff asks with all his focus on me. ¨I like Emo music. I know its weird I just find that music to be lovely.¨ I answer a bit embarrassed of my answer.

¨Movie genre?¨ Jeff asks, tilting his head. ¨Splatter.¨ I say smiling. ¨See?Being with me is like living in a splatter movie.¨ Jeff says with a smile. ¨Jeff these are superficial things,you really wanna know about me?..I have no idea what I’m doing with my life. I’m only in college to delay from looking for a job. I don’t wanna get married,pop out some kids and work until I’m old and demented.But I do love my dad and I don’t want to disappoint him.So im trying to at least do something with my life..I’m probably gonna become an accountant or something..boring but stable I have already committed to this plan..as much as I wanna run around causing destruction and problems I can’t also my favorite food is Sushi.¨ I say with a bit of a sigh.

¨Sounds like I could really give you the life you wanna live.¨ Jeff says, smirking. ¨Maybe,but i’m not gonna just do that to my dad..His best friend is a cop that would make things kinda awkward.¨ I say looking up at Jeff. ¨They never have to know,Just lie don’t tell me you have a problem with lying to your dad.¨ Jeff says, looking at me.

¨I dont..I have done it many times in high school..Jeff,just grab another beer and calm down..you’re being irrational.Even if I hate people I have no desire to massacre randos..unless they’re really annoying..anyways.Just enjoy the time we have together while it lasts cuz you did promise me you’d leave after today.¨ I say standing up and going to the kitchen as Jeff gets up and follows me.

¨We also agreed that you would join me if you enjoyed our time together..So did you?¨ Jeff asks, waiting for a reply. ¨Yea..but It doesn’t matter..I still can’t join you. Im sorry..So just hang out with me while you can.¨ I say as I grab a bowl full of M&ms and walk to the dining room table.

¨Okay..just tell me about your life.I wanna know what I can before I leave forever.¨ Jeff says as he sits on the chair across from me.¨That much I can do.¨ I say as I talked and talked for hours I told him how I lost my mom as a kid,Every heartbreak I’ve been through,even that time when my whole friend group turned on me.

He told me about himself too..He sounds like he misses his family from time to time.I know he won’t admit it but he sure does miss his family some times.There are glimpses of a normal human somewhere in him I know there is.I guess I just feel asleep at some point.Dreams running through my head..Thoughts of Jeff..I can’t lose him.
