Chapter Text
Cooper walked down the stairs, not even wanting to be alone at the moment. The whole place was creepier than his parents' basement. He finally made it down what seemed to be an ever-lasting staircase, and stood next to the others. "Okay..I normally would have us all split up...but since
Triston, LayLay, and Tulip are sick... It'd be just us all. And some of you I don't trust with the other," Jackson would pause, looking over at Jessica
before continuing. "But, if they don't act up, which I hope they don't we can pair and split up." Cooper was confused, as even though Jessica road-
raged, she's not that difficult. Just then, Cooper's mind went negative.
What if he's talking about me?
What if I'm the problem here?
Does he hate me?
Do they all hate me?
Am I nothing in this situ-
Before Cooper could dive any deeper into his thoughts, Wyatt spoke up. "Well, she wouldn't act up towards Cooper? I mean they are best friends after all. Haven't they been for...what.. ever since they were in 3rd grade?" Cooper looked over at Jessica, knowing that was the truth. "Yes, we've been friends for a while. So...yeah I could be paired with him." Cooper smiled a bit, forgetting about any of the negative thoughts that had occurred in his mind. "Well...If you say so. Cooper, take the spirit box to...hm...one of the rooms. Try to see if you pick up anything. Jessica, go with him, as you wanted. Wyatt and I shall try to get at least something with the emf reader. Grab your things and head out." Cooper was astonished that Jackson
would even let him do anything in this situation, but he didn't want to complain. It's good knowing he has a friend with him now.
Once Jessica had picked up the spirit box, Cooper sighed. "Which room would you like to go into?" He watched as Jessica shook her head. "I have no idea. But...maybe since AT LEAST 7 people died in Jack's room, maybe we should try there?" Cooper nodded. He followed Jessica up the stairs and into Jackson's room for their investigation.
