Terrible Fates (BEN Drowned story)

Chapter 49

[Hey everyone!

So, I've been thinking about making handmade dolls of the gang, and was wondering how should I start? Do any of you suggest any methods for sewing, funding (donations for supplies), designing, etc? Please let me know! It'd be nice to give you all something like that and rake up some extra money for myself as well. I have a lot of cool ideas in mind, like making the different versions of the main cast. Hopefully this project can come to fruition, with you all's help too!

Enjoy the chapter!]

Stay Creepy, My Friends!~

Chapter 49

Jeff's POV

Upon waking up, I had a momentary surge of panic shoot through me. I've gotten so used to waking up to the white ceiling in my room at the mansion, that the wood panels of a cabin freaked me out. But then I remembered why I'm here, and who I'm here with, and then I calmed down.

I sat up with a groan and stretched. The room was empty save for me. I swung my legs over the edge of the bed and took a few seconds to gather myself. Suddenly, I heard thumps from outside and tensed up. Quietly, I made my way to the door and went out into the hallway. As soon as I peeked out into the living room, I saw a figure shuffling inside very awkwardly in the dimly lit space.

"Hey!" I snapped.

A startled squeak escaped the intruder and they dropped plastic bags of groceries. When they turned on the lights, I felt stupid.

"Shit, I'm sorry," I said to Ellie.

She chuckled. "It's okay. I should've been less weird about it."

As I helped her to pick up the groceries, I remarked, "This is a lot of stuff. Why didn't you call me to help?"

"I thought you were still asleep and wanted you to keep resting," she replied.

"Next time, you can wake me up," I said lightly.

We spent the next few minutes putting groceries away. It was the basic stuff; fruits, veggies, meats, rice, pizza rolls (hell yeah).  I'm surprised none of the glass items broke when Ellie dropped them too. I should probably not shout like I did earlier from now on. Eventually that'll come back to bite me in the ass.

When everything was put away, Ellie and I stood in the kitchen together and sighed in unison. The both of us shared a laugh and she came up to hug me first. "Good morning," she said.

"Morning, Sunshine," I murmured into her hair. Then she looked up and her nose met mine. It felt so soft, just like the rest of her pristine face. I couldn't help but kiss her lips and she let me wholeheartedly. My hands squeezed her waist as I hugged her closer. Her fingers brushed through my hair and sent tingles through my scalp. God, I missed this.

After our kiss ended, she leaned away and placed her gloved, right hand at the side of my face. Her mismatched eyes studied me with adoration and I couldn't help but feel a little flustered by that look she gave me.

"Hungry?" she asked me.

"Yes," I answered eagerly.

"I can make pancakes," she suggested.

"Do we still have chocolate chips?"

"Yes. You want chocolate chip pancakes?"

"Uh, hell yeah," I chimed. She giggled and gave me a quick peck on the lips.

While she prepared to cook, I went back into my room and changed into different clothes. As I walked out putting my shirt on, I took a look around the cabin. It's only been six days since I've been here. I'm still trying to get acquainted with the place despite how small it is. But it was cozy, warm, and simple.
