Y/N POV

After a month of being friends with Beetlejuice, you two were causing chaos throughout your entire neighbourhood, and surprisingly never getting caught! Every time you two hung out together or had a movie night and he happened to brush your arm with his, butterflies flew throughout your stomach.

What is this feeling? You thought to yourself. I've never felt like this before towards anyone else.. could it be? Do I like him? Well yeah I do like him.. as a friend! He's really funny and a great guy to be around. Not to mention extremely handsome and is always flirting which makes my face heat up.

I snap out of my daze, realising I was staring at him instead of watching the movie. And he had noticed.

"Like what you see hey babes?" He jokes staring straight back into my eyes

"Sorry! Just zoned out I guess." I blink a few times and laugh to myself

"Whatcha thinking about?" He asks with slight concern in his voice.

I obviously couldn't tell him the truth, and even though it hurt to lie (because I've always been such a terrible liar so I just never did it) I couldn't just blurt out my semi feelings for him. He probably didn't even feel the same way!

"Just stuff I guess.. getting a bit tired from work and scaring people." He scrunches his face up and then his eyes light up which causes more butterflies to flutter.

"Hey babes! I have a great idea. Let's go on a vacation, just the two of us!" He blurts out

My eyebrows raise in excitement and I squeal and scrunch my nose in celebration. I really could use this holiday, and maybe this is when I could hint at my feelings towards BJ! As I glance over to where Beetlejuice is sitting, I see him leaning his arm on the couch resting his face on his palm and he was staring at me with a slight grin on his face

"What?" I question

He simply responds with "Nothing, you're just cute." He grins wider and I can sense my face already heating up. BJ winks and then motions to my room, trying to tell me to start packing.

The next day

"So! Are you going to teleport us there?" I ask curiously

"Well, I feel like that takes all the fun out of it babes! And this is going to be the first time that I've been out of this house in daylight!" Every word he said, his voice growing louder in excitement. I laugh at his joy, it was really nice to see him smiling.

Twenty minutes later

BJ and I find an empty seat on the train, and I made sure that he got the window seat so he could take in the beauty of nature. I put my bag on the overhead locker and plop down next to Beetlejuice.

As the time passes by, I begin to become overwhelmed by tiredness. Without thinking, I scooch closer to BJ and rest my head on his shoulder and close my eyes to rest them.

BJ's POV

While I stare outside the window, taking in the beautiful view I notice Y/N moving over closer to me out of the corner of my eye. The side of our arms touch and goosebumps erupted on my skin. Trying to remain my chill, I didn't want it to be awkward if she was trying to make the first move (which I really hope she was, I really think I'm falling for her) so I lift my right arm up and place it over her shoulder, bringing her even closer to me.

We were basically cuddling, and it honestly felt normal. I could get used to this.

Y/N's POV

He put his arm around me, so I decided to take the chance and move even closer. I could somehow smell his scent, which was like the ocean. I loved it. Glancing up at him I grin as he notices and plants a kiss upon my forehead before turning to face the window again.

I smile to myself and bite my lip to stop myself from squealing from happiness. Just as that happens, a loud noise comes from one of the other cabins in the train.

Being the show off guy he is, BJ released me from his grasp and told me to 'wait in our seat' as he went to check out the ruckus.

While he does that, I move over closer to the window and place my hand up against the window as my breath lightly fogs up the glass. My eyes scan in and take in all of the beauty everywhere, from the animals playing around in the forest, to the waterfall splashing yet somehow still being peaceful.

I hear someone sit down next to me so I assume it's BJ. I turn around and ask

"Do you want your seat ba-" I begin to say before my brain stops me in my tracks when I see a man holding a knife to my throat. But not any man. Lachlan.

The blade was an inch away from piercing my skin and my face turned pale from fear.

"Say another word and I'll cut your neck open right here right now. Don't try me. Do you understand?" He demands

I nod my head profusely at him and gulp. I knew BJ would be back soon, but I was still worrying. I knew something else was coming.

"Now, once he gets back, say to your demonic looking boyfriend that we're together now, and that he can just get off at the next stop and go back home." He grins evilly still holding the blade to my neck.

I blink several times, a tear escaping from my eye so BJ could know that I wasn't telling the truth. I turn my head making sure that Lachlan didn't notice, and take deep breaths in and out as my anxiety starts to kick in even more. Because there was a table in front of us, Lachlan hid his dagger under the table, still facing my stomach as Beetlejuice arrived.

"Hey babes, I couldn't find anything wrong." He scrunched his eyebrows together and clenched his fists as he recognised Lachlan from the other night that he took advantage of me.

"GET AWAY FROM HER!" He yells in a fit of rage, but before he could throw hands at me Lachlan moves the knife closer to my stomach causing me to blurt out the sentence that he told me to say before

"Don't hurt him! He apologised and we made.. plans to hang out." I paused and Lachlan pushes the blade slightly piercing my skin and causes my eyes to well up again "Right now actually. So you can.. get off at the next stop and go home. I'll meet you there tomorrow." I felt absolutely terrible for lying to him, I almost felt sick to my stomach. I shut my eyes and opened them to notice two tears fell out of my eyes which were glued to his.

Please notice. Please notice. I beg in my thoughts as we lock glares and my facial expression changed from in pain to something that screamed 'Help Me!'

But Beetlejuice just said "Oh okay. See you later I guess." With a hurt expression on his face. I couldn't let him leave. If he left then I would definitely die and be stuck on this train forever. So I blurted something out.

"WAIT! Lachlanisholdingaknifetomeandforcedmetosayeverythinypleasehelpme!!" I cry in a stressed tone.

All I could feel next is a sharp object go into my side twice. I stumbled towards BJ as Lachlan sprinted away from us, and jumped out the door as the train doors slid open. I screamed out in agony, and Beetlejuice now had a panicked look on his face.

Then everything went dark.
