The Boy Next Door

Chapter 11 - Sweater Weather

Jade's POV

Hours past, and Joe called Alfie constantly. But for some reason, Alfie ignored the calls. We resulted in spending the whole day together. It was no problem for me, because I knew Carrie had another show to do.. And for Dan and Phil? Well, they have a radio show to host. Don't they?

Alfie and I sat in living room, playing Slenderman with the lights off. It was about five forty in the afternoon, and the sun was just about to set.

"Alfie, I really don't want to play this." I complained. I brushed my arms to keep to goosebumps from rising.

"Are you cold?" He quickly glanced at me as he controlled the keyboard. His eyes never seemed to leave the screen. He was so determined to find those notes.

"Just a little. But, I can manage." I nodded.

"No. That isn't right." He paused the game. "I'll be right back." Alfie yelled as he ran down the hallway.

As scary as the game looked, it lured me. And without Alfie controlling the game, I could do it myself. The controls didn't seem that hard.

I took a seat in his chair, but looked around the corner to see if Alfie were returning soon. By the looks of it, he wasn't. I un-paused the game, and played it myself.

The silent sound of only the character's footsteps chilled me.

Alfie's POV

I grabbed one of my sweatshirts and rushed back out quietly. But as I saw Jade's eyes fixated on the computer, her hands controlling the keyboard and the mouse, I felt a golden opportunity arise that I felt couldn't be passed.

I pulled out my phone from my back pocket, and unlocked the screen for the camera. I clicked record, and whispered to it as I tip-toed down the hall. "So I left Jade in the living-room whilst getting her a jacket. I was playing Slenderman and she was watching because she's absolutely terrified of the game. But right now as you can see, she's taken over my game and is playing it herself. So i'm taking this golden opportunity to scare the absolute crap out of her."

I dropped the sweater to the floor as I stood behind her. I abruptly grabbed her shoulder and Jade screamed. "What the hell, Alfie!" She stood from the chair, placing her hand over her heart. I couldn't help but laugh at her frightened expression. "Why? Why would you do that to me?"

"I thought you didn't want to play." I teased her.

"I didn't! It just. You were gone and I was bored, and--"

I smiled, "Smile for the camera, Jade."

"You did not record all that.." Her eyes widened in embarrassment. "Delete it! Delete it!"

I quickly rushed an outro before Jade would even think of grabbing my phone, "Say bye! Bye, Jade! If you thought her reaction was absolutely hilarious, please give this video a massive thumbs up and don't forget to subscribe and check out my main channel! Bye!" I ended the video and locked my phone in an instant. She grabbed it from my hands, as if she were stealing a lolli from a toddler.

"What's the passcode?" She questioned.

"I'm posting it later, so you're not deleting it." I smirked as I walked over to the light switch near the kitchen. The living room lights went on as I pushed the switch upwards, and Jade rampaged towards me.

"This is why we should have watched a movie." She complained.

"Well you get both. Embarrassing yourself, and a movie."

She walked back to the living room, and picked up the sweater that I had previously dropped on the floor. She pulled it over her head, and crossed her arms. It was large on her, but I liked it. I liked the fact that she was wearing my sweater. Even if it reached her knees, and the sleeves passing her arms.
