Chapter 22
References: 0
A/N: So I was thinking about actually ending the story at the last chapter and then perhaps starting another book that focuses more on (Y/N) and BEN, but then I realized that I can't really call this a BEN x reader if there isn't much that goes on between the two, so here you go.
Enjoy~
•••••
BENs POV:
"Um... how long were you guys watching me for?" (Y/N) asked as we walked back to our house. Man, it felt so weird saying that. Our house. "BEN came down the steps and told me your dad was there, so we decided to watch the drama." Jeff said, nonchalantly. "And I never actually left, I just hid so you didn't see me." EJ added in.
"Wow I'm so glad to know that I can get sooo much privacy in the house." (Y/N) said sarcastically. "Hey we might not leave you alone that much, but you love us." I said teasingly, wrapping my arm around her shoulder as we walked. EJ gave me a strange look, but he didn't say anything.
"Yeah I guess I do love you guys. You're all like the best friends I never had." She said, smiling. I felt a pang in my chest when she said the words 'friends' but I didn't know why. "I hope I'm not having heart problems or something... I'll have to talk to EJ when we get back." I thought to myself.
"Hey BEN, I've been meaning to ask you something." (Y/N) said, turning her head towards me. "What?" I asked. "Well... you remember how I kinda sorta read a lot of creepypasta stories and that's how I knew who you guys were? Well... in some of the fan fictions you were like always a perv..." she began. "Let me stop you right there." I said laughing.
"I don't know why all these fanfics make me a perv. I mean sureeeee I can be a little dirty minded sometimes but I'm a guy. Literally all guys have those thoughts sometimes. I think those fanfic authors are just being sexist." I huffed, fake pouting. She giggled before ruffling my hair and then turning away to admire the forest. "She's lucky she's a good friend or else I wouldn't have let her do that to me." I thought.
"Hey, (Y/N)? I just thought of something." Jeff said, staring at her. "You said you used to read fan fictions about creepypasta, but you never said what kind..." he trailed off, eyeing her mischievously. (Y/N) instantly started to blush which grabbed my attention. "Yeah you're right Jeff, she hasn't told us what kind of fanfics she used to read." I said teasingly.
"So (Y/N), what did you read?" Jeff said, slowly walking closer to (Y/N). Her face was bright red and her mouth kept opening and closing, but no words came out. "I- uh- um- I need to go!" She stuttered out before pulling herself away from me and running. Jeff and I looked at each other with wide grins before chasing after her. Before we got too far, I swear I head EJ mumble "Those idiots" or something like that.
Jeff and I were gaining on (Y/N). She turned her head back and screamed when she saw how close we were. Jeff and I both laughed as we started running faster. (Y/N) turned sharply and tried to lose us. She was now a little farther ahead of us, but still close enough to see her. She looked back once more before she turned sharply again. Except this time, when Jeff and I turned after her, she was gone.
"What the fuck?" Jeff mumbled, looking around. "Fuck, I think she shapeshifted or something to get away from us." I said, trying to see if anything was around. "Well, if I know anything about (Y/N), she's either hiding nearby or she went back to the house to hide in her room." I said, facing Jeff.
"I'll go check the house, you can search for her out here." Jeff said, running in the direction of the house. "Idiot." I mumbled, watching as he disappeared into the bushes. "Okay, (Y/N), I know you're here. You might as well come out." I said, turning around.
I heard a rustle from above me and smirked. She just gave herself away. I walked towards the tree it came from and looked up, trying to find the source of the sound. Then, I heard another rustle from somewhere behind me. "Huh?" I said out loud, turning around. Then, EJ came out of the trees.
"Oh hey EJ, have you seen (Y/N) by any chance?" I asked. EJ stood silent for a few seconds. "Nope. No idea. You guys lose her?" He asked, looking around the trees. "Yeah, she turned a corner and then disappeared. We think she shape-shifted into something and hid. I thought if I tricked Jeff into leaving she'd come out, but I can't find her." I explained.
"Maybe she did go back to the house." EJ said, rubbing his chin. "I guess it doesn't hurt to look." I said, walking in the direction of the house. As we walked back, I heard a sound. It sounded like something was moving in a bush nearby us. I could hear leaves rustling. It seemed like EJ heard it too. "It's probably nothing, let's just head back." He said, continuing on the path.
"I know, but I'll feel better if I look." I said, stepping towards the bush. "Ah I really don't think you should do that." He said, walking towards me. "Why not?" I asked, staring at him as if he was crazy. "There could be a raccoon with rabies in that bush, dude." He said, eyeing the bush and then backing away. I tensed up. Little known fact about me: I have a tiny fear of rabid animals. When I was like 6, I was attacked by a rabid bunny when I tried running away from my abusive uncle. Not a good experience. But I just had to know what was behind the bush.
It started rustling even more before I decided to finally get it over with. I jumped over the bush, and tackled whatever was there. "Gotcha!" I said triumphantly, but then I saw what- or rather who- I had tackled.
"Jeff?" I asked. He was tied up with rope so he couldn't move and a piece of cloth was wrapped around his mouth, keeping him from speaking. "What the fuck?" I asked, untying the cloth and the rope. EJ stepped over warily. "What happened to you?" I asked.
"Fucking (Y/N) attacked me when I was on my way back to the house and tied me up! Then she just left me laughing!" He shouted. I couldn't help but to let out a small laugh. "You let her tie you up?" I said, holding back more laughter. "Fuck you man! She caught me off guard!" He defended himself.
"Anyway, she headed back to the mansion, probably because that's where she thought EJ was going." Jeff said. "But EJ is here..." I trailed off. Then I grinned. "Guys, I have an idea. If we hurry, we can make it back to the house before she can search the whole place for EJ. Then we can catch her off guard and get some revenge." I explained, smiling widely. "I'm in. Let's go." Jeff said. EJ just nodded his head.
We ran back to the house as fast as we could. "Okay here's the plan: search the house and when you find her, find some way to pin her down and keep her in place. Then call for the rest of us and we can get our revenge." I said, smiling. This was going to be good.
We got to the house and split up. I went to the basement, Jeff stayed on the main floor and EJ went upstairs. I walked into (Y/N)s room and looked around. I didn't see her, so I decided to search the bathroom. That's when Jeff barges in. "Hey! EJ said he found (Y/N)! He said he's gonna lock her in his lab up in the attic until we can come help. Let's go bro!" Jeff said.
We raced up to the attic, and opened the door. But (Y/N) wasn't here. Instead, EJ was tied up in a chair, seemingly very annoyed. "What the fuck EJ? You said you were going to lock her up, how'd she manage to tie you up?" I asked, walking towards EJ. His mask was pushed up slightly, a piece of cloth wrapped around his mouth. I untied the cloth from around his mouth and he just sighed.
"When I got back to the house, I came up to the lab and (Y/N) managed to tie me up. I didn't even chase after her, but thanks to you guys I got stuck in this mess. Also where have you two been? I've been tied up for ages!" EJ complained. "What do you mean? You were just with us in the forest." I asked, looking at him confused.
"What? I was never with you guys. After you ran after (Y/N), I just walked home." He said. Jeff and I looked at each other warily. "So if you were here the whole time, then that means it couldn't have been you that was with us in the forest..." I trailed off. Then it hit me.
"It was (Y/N)!" Jeff gasped. I agreed. I didn't even see it coming. She was so good at pretending to be EJ, I never thought it wasn't actually him. "When I find her she's gonna be so dead." Jeff said, turning around and trying to open the door. But it didn't open. Jeff kept pushing the door, but something was blocking it from opening all the way. "Oh come on!" He shouted, growing increasingly angry.
EJ and I walked over to Jeff, pushing against the door with him. After putting all our force together, we managed to push open the door. Then, we made our way downstairs to find (Y/N), but we weren't expecting what we saw in the the kitchen.
