Save me [A septiplier story] canceled

Chapter: 9 - Drinking

(30 Minutes after Dawn left)

(Also to be clear, Dawn is nonbinary if I didn't say that before)

Marks POV

After Dawn had left, I spent my time scrolling through social media on my phone. I know I should be doing something right now but I honestly can't find the energy. Ever. Dawn honestly really helped, and they said they had planned on coming by every saterday, which were the days they were off work, and they said they were staying because they were surprisingly in almost the same situation as me before, only their ending was way worse than I could imagine.

It turns out Dawn and their boyfriend had gotten into a small argument because he was keeping a lot of secrets from them. He refused to tell them, until one day he finally just sighed, sat them down, and told them the truth.

He told them that he was planning on giving them a gift, -a ring- but he wasn't able to afford the one he wanted to get for Dawn, so he met up with a loan shark, to borrow the money, which meant he had a lot of dept to pay off. He tried so hard to pay it off, he even had to start stealing large amounts of cash from his parents, and friends.

A few days after he had told dawn about the situation he was in he found dead in his apartment, with a gun wound in his head, and a gun in his hand. After investigating the situation, the police closed the case, 'comfirming' it to be a suicide. Dawn knew that wasn't true though. Dawn wanted to tell the cops what their boyfriend had told them, but they didn't want to get into any trouble with loan shark, the cops, or anybody, so, they training to be a cop. They joined after a couple months and focused on trying to make sure they got every single detail.

I feel so bad for them. I mean they lost their boyfriend to some low lifes just like what could have happened to-

My stomach dropped at the thought of Sean being hurt, and I felt sick.

I really, really, hope Sean left, and he didn't get hurt or anything. I mean I would rather he atleast tell me, so I'm not worrying about him and his life, but I understand why he would've just left. I mean what I did was just awful. Got I'm a fucking monster! I hurt him... I really did... and I already knew what he had been through... What the fuck is wrong with me?!

Even if I hadn't known about his relationship with Jake, I still hurt him. I still scared him. I'm the reason he's gone. I'm the reason that he could be-

No-
No I can't-
I can't think about that.

Horrible thoughts crossed my mind, even when I tried to think if something else. Anything else. Anything.

...

Maybe just... a drink... or two...

I stood up from the couch and head over to the fridge. There was only a bottle left. I groaned and walked over to the counter, where my car keys were, picked them up, and head out the door. I made my way to my car and hopped in, starting the car, and driving to the nearest bar. After about 20 minutes of driving, I arrived. I entered the building after locking my car door. I made my way past all the drunks, passing people arguing, people laughing over literally, some clearly way older men/woman hitter on younger men/woman, and some 'couples' doing the worst dancing I've ever seen in my entire life.

I finally made it to the bar, and ordered the strongest drink I know, and took a sip.

He better be safe...

Jacks POV

I was sitting in my cell, not touching the book, since they turned the lights off, and I couldn't see. I sighed, leaning my against the wall. I had my hands wrapped around my legs, but jumped when I started to hear some sounds. The same sound I heard when I was in here the first time.

It's the rat- mouse-? Tiny furry thing?

I heard faint sniffing, and the sound of little paws running across the cold floor, as it approached me. I crossed my legs and and tried to look for it. "Hey little guy... where are ya?" I said out loud. It must have stopped for a second becuase I coudn't hear anything else for a few seconds. I searched around the floor with the tips of my finger, very slowly, so that I didn't scare it. My fingers bumped into something. It jumped back as soon as I touched it. "Hey it's alright, come here..." I said quietly. I felt a tiny little cold nose touch my finger. I could feel it sniffing me. It slowly got closer to me. I t reached my legs, and climbed into my lap. It sniffed around for a second, and I think it looked up. It placed one of it's front paws on my stomach, then it's second one. After sniffing around for a second, it got off my stomach and went back into my lap.

It walked around a bit more, before finally laying down on my thigh, and snuggling its face into my shirt. "aww, you're adorable..!" I whispered. I slowly started to lift my hand up off the floor, and gently placed my hand on the animal. It jumped a little, and lifted its head up. I let it sniff my hand, and started to very gently stroke its head, after it let me do that, I started to pet its entire body. Soon, it laid its head back down, as I continued to pet it. I smiled to myself. This is the cutest thing ever. I almost forgot where I even was. I almost forgot that I'm alone in the dark. I'm terrified of the dark. It's probably because of what my dad would do sometimes. That shit was scary. God, I would cry for hours. I'm surprised I havn't been freaking out that much yet right now, I mean I was fucking kidnapped, and now-

My thoughts were cut off by the sound of a large metal door opening echoing throughout a long hallway. Oh god please don't be here for me... The animal quickly ran off my lap, and back to towards the direction it came from. I wish I could just run away and hide like that. I tried to listen to the footsteps, and was trying to figure out who it was, but I coudn't recognize them, probably because it's a new place, so the footsteps will sound different. Or it could be someone I don't know, like that
