I lay on the bed. Eyes full of tears, face tacky and crusty where the previous tears had dried. I was no longer crying because of Jack choice of words, triggering an old memory. I'm crying because I felt bad. Jack was trying to help me and I threw it back in his face. I feel awful. I'm such a horrible person. A couple of hours had passed and night soon turned into day. Jack still hasn't returned to the bedroom sense I shouted at him. I'm kind of worried. I would of thought he would be angry and would come speak his mind or something. But nothing. I didn't want to leave the room to find him, I felt too embarrassed, too upset. So I just lay on my bed, facing the wall with my back to the door. Just then, the door creaked open and I heard footsteps walk towards my bed. It lowered by my feet when someone sat down. I slowly turn, expecting to see Jack. But it wasn't. It was BEN.
"BEN? What are you doing here?" I ask, rolling onto my back to face him properly.
"I heard Jack talking about you to Slender. He said you were upset." He said, scratching his head a little. His voice was calm and settling. Jack said that?.. But why?..
"So, I thought I'd come see you. Try and cheer you up a bit." He said playfully. Nudging my shoulder as he smiled at me.
"Wanna talk about it?" He asked, tilting his head at me. I sigh, glancing away. For some reason.. this isn't a topic I want to discuss with BEN. It doesn't feel right. He's a nice guy and I seem to get on well with him.. but, I would rather talk to.. Jack... Despite his lashing out at me due to Masky. He's helped me a lot with my wounds.. That can only mean that he's a good guy too.. right? I sigh once more looking back at BEN. Who still had his head titled and a smile on his face.
"Sorry BEN.. I don't feel like talking about it and the moment." He just shrugs standing up. Making his way to the door. But before he leaves, he turns back to look at me.
"I'm currently playing a game with Jack and Jeff in the sitting room, if you wanna you can watch me beat their asses at it!" He giggles walking out of the room, shutting the door. Once the door is closed, I sit up. Raising my hand to my eye, tracing at my the plaster Jack put there yesterday. I at least need to apologise...
I exhale deeply. Standing up and walking over to the wardrobe. I open it, glancing up at my clothes. I decide to wear a [f/c] long sleeve turtle neck and some jeans. I look down to my feet and slowly raise my hand, placing it on my right shoulder. It's a good thing that scalpel landed in my left shoulder.. if it landed in the right, I would forbid Jack to help me... I don't want him to see the scar that.... I growl at my own thought in disgust. That the beast made when it tried tearing my shoulder to shreds..A sharp frown forms on my face but I just sigh and release all anger and negative energy. I trot over to the door, opening it, stepping out the room and shutting the door behind me. I make a right, walking down that hall before making another right. The sitting room came into view. As I walk closer, I start to hear yelling coming from the TV area.
"What the hell BEN! Stop cheating!" Hissed a voice.
"I'm not cheating! You just suck at this game!"
"I don't suck! You're just a cheater!"
"I didn't cheat! I'm just better at games than you! Admit it!"
"No! I won't admit what isn't true!"
"You're just jealous because I'm beating you at something!"
"I'm not jealous!"
"Yeeeah you are! I see it in your eyes!"
"If you don't wipe that grin off your face then I'll beat you!"
"Why don't you wipe off your grin, you joker reject!"
"That's it you little fucker!"
As I slowly make my way into the sitting room, BEN and Jeff were fighting. Jeff near enough beating BEN to a pulp. However, there was no sign of Jack. I'm sure BEN said Jack was here too?.. Just then, I heard footsteps behind me, thumping along, suddenly coming to a stop behind me. I turn around to see Jack, standing there, holding on to 3 drinks. I wonder if he's still mad about me yelling at him yesterday?..
"Hey Jack.." I say shyly, giving a small wave.
"Hi [Name]." He replies. A few seconds pass before he continues walking over to the two proxies fighting at the sofa. He sighs putting one of the drinks down, still holding on to the other 2. He walks right up to them, stopping. He raises his hands, a drink in each. Both above the proxies heads. One over BENs and one over Jeffs. With a small turn of his wrists. He pours the drinks over them both. They stop fighting and cower away, covering their heads.
"What the heck Jack!" They both shout in unison. Jack shrugs, putting down the  now empty glasses.
"It stopped you fighting didn't it?" I couldn't help but let out a small giggle. Jacks head snapped in my direction and I quickly cover my mouth with my hand, shrinking down into my shoulders. He turns away from BEN and Jeff. Walking towards me. I flinched a little but I stood my ground. Trying to show I wasn't too scared. Once he reached me, he was fairly close, which made me grow hot..
I couldn't tell if he was opening his mouth to speak as his mask covered his face. So I just spoke up instead.
"Hey Jack.. I wanted to apologise.. you know.. for last night.." I sigh looking down at my feet.
"I shouldn't have shouted at you.. you were helping me and I threw it in your face." I slowly raise my head back up to look at him. His mask glared down at me, causing my body to shake.
He doesn't say a word, he just grabs my wrist and drags me out of the room. I hear small whispering from BEN and Jeff as they fade into the distance. Jack drags me down a long hallway, turning left, then right, then left again, and then another left, then one more right until he finally stops. Letting go of my wrist. The hallway we were in was dark and cold. There were no doors leading to rooms in this hallway. I looked down it to see that at the bottom was a dead end. Meaning the only way out was the way we came.
"Jack.. Why did you bring me here?" I ask, slight fear in my voice as my mind wonders thinking about why he would take me somewhere so quiet and dark.
"This is the only place in the house where nobody goes to. It's quiet and nobody can listen to your conversations or spy on you like the nosey people they are." He hisses, leaning against the wall.
"Listen Jack.. about last night.. in the bathroom.. I'm really sorry for shouting in your face.. I felt awful afterwards but it was too late to take it back as the damage had already been done..." i said, trying not to make my words sound cheesy. Jack just shrugs, putting his hands in his pockets.
"I don't hold grudges." He says bluntly. Turning his head to face me.
"So then.. why didn't you sleep in your room last night?" I take a few steps towards him, causing him to move from his leaning position to stand up straight. I stop moving and shrink back into my shoulders.
"H-hey Jack?" I stutter. There's something I've been wanting to ask for a while.. but I'm not sure if it's the right thing to ask.. what if he gets angry? Well, it's too late to stop now.. I take a deep breath, moving closer to him. Stopping in front of him.
"Why do you wear the mask?" I question. I saw his head flinch back a little before hearing a small growl escape his lips. Suddenly, Jack pounces, pinning me to the floor, towering over me. I scream, only to be silenced by one of Jacks hands covering my mouth. I try to wiggle, scrambling from under him. But he just applies more weight, causing me to sink into the floor. I place my hand in his shoulders, trying to push him off me, but he just grabs both of them with his other hand, pinning them above my head. Tears begin to fill in my eyes as fear takes over my body. I was about to try and cry out again but I stopped when I heard Jack go to speak.
"Why are you trying to make friends with me? Why are you trying to be so nice? Why so many questions?" He growls, his grip around my wrists tighten, causing me to wince a little. I go to talk but my words are  muffled  behind  his hand. He realises and slowly removes it.
"B-because I thought I upset you, so I t-tried to-" my sentence was cut short by Jack laughing. What was so funny?
"You thought you upset me?" His laughs grow louder, causing more tears to fill in my eyes, nearly ready to explode.
"Only humans can feel upset, sadness, depression.. I feel nothing. I'm like an empty shell. The only thing I know how to feel is anger.. and hunger." He snarls, leaning closer to me.
"W-what do you m-mean 'humans'?.. you're a h-human too." I say, as if to state the obvious, but he just laughs  hysterically. Only causing my fear to grow. He leans closer and closer, slowly raising his hand to the bottom of his mask, near his chin. He stops moving and so does his hand. He chuckles before slowly sliding the bottom of his mask, revealing only his mouth. My fear soon turned to horror when I saw his mouth. His skin was grey and dull, as if to be drained of life, his teeth, were not like mine, or anyone else's. They were long, sharp, pointy. Shark-like. More teeth were revealed as he smirked.
"W-what... H-how... how are you so... How are your teeth so..."  No matter how I worded it, I could not say it. My body was too engulfed in horror to speak. He chuckled, parting his lips.
"As you can see. I am different. I'm not like you, or Jeff, or anyone." His voice sounded demonic and psychotic. My whole body startled to tremble as I tried to speak. My hands shaking under his grip.
"S-so, what d-does that m-m-mean..." I couldn't stop stuttering. My whole body and mind started to shut down, I had no control over my muscles or my voice. I became frozen in fear.
"It's because.." he murmurs, Lowering his head so his lips were by my ear. I could feel his cold breath on the side of my face and down my neck. I gulped, trying to prepare myself for what he was about to say.
"I'm not human." He states. That small simple sentence caused my eyes to shoot open. I wanted to run, scream, panic. But I couldn't. My body was paralysed in fear. The only thing I could do was cry. My eyes irrupted, tears pouring down my face. Jack pulled his head away from my neck, glaring down at me. As my body panicked and started shutting down, my vision started to blur and fade. The last thing I saw was Jacks sharp smirk disappearing. I fell unconscious.
