Troubles [Jacksepticeye & Markiplier]

Chapter One: Mark's POV

chapter one

Slightly quieter. Kind of lost. He couldn't fake it any longer. He never liked being fake anyways. He doesn't seem to realize I watch all of his videos. He thinks I'm too busy to be there for him. I want to be there for him though. I want to hold him close and tell him it'll be okay. I wish he wouldn't pressure himself so. I wish I could whisper hope into his heart. So that's why I looked up is number. When I couldn't find it, I decided to just private message him. He didn't respond for a little while. I don't know why. He was probably working himself to death as usual. Finally he sent the number. I asked if I could call now. He replied with 'Why not'. I smiled, putting the number into my phone and calling him.

"Hi Sean," I said.

"Hello," he replied. After a brief moment of silence I decided what I'd say.

"How are you, like really?" I asked him. I hoped he would give me an actual answer.

"Okay I guess," he said, "Why?"

"I saw the end of your video and I was a little worried about you, that's all."

"Oh, no need to worry about me, I'm fine, really. It just got a little overwhelming at the moment..."

"If you want to talk I'm here," I said after a moment.

"I'm fine Mark. I'm really fine," he said.

"Okay, okay..." I said. We sat in quiet. It was kinda of awkward, but I suddenly heard a sniffle. "Are you crying?" I asked.

"No I'm fine," he replied, "Look. I've got things to do, and I'm sure you do too and-"

"I don't want you to go yet," I interrupted, "I to know if you're really okay or not." I heard a slightly sniffle from the other end, and I gave him time to answer. After a little while I heard him pick the phone back up.

"I'm sorry..."

"For what?" I asked him.

"For wasting your time... I'm fine. 105%!" he replied.

"I don't believe it for a second Sean," I said. I started to pace the room. He sighed. I listened for an answer. He spoke quietly.

"I've kind of lost contact with my girlfriend. I tried calling her for the first time in... I don't know, a month, and she wouldn't pick up. I get why she's mad at me, and I feel really bad... But if I am to fix things I need to get back in contact with her... And I don't know how." I pondered this.

"Try calling her from a different number? She might just be ignoring your number. But if she doesn't pick up from this number it means she's just busy," I said, "Hope it's helpful."

"Me too... Thanks Mark," he said. I could feel his smile. "Now, I'm gonna, um, go call her, okay?" he said nervously. He didn't want to come off as rude.

"Buh-bye," I said.

"Bye," he said sweetly, hanging up.
