Part 7 - Im Sorry

1 day before chapter 6

*jacksepticeye POV*

I'm in my room playing GTA V when Mark enters our dorm room... Singing? I turn to look towards him and he is just singing his heart out. Its some kind of opera singing and well, its just confusing!

"What the hell are you doing Mark?" I say in my Irish accent, confused. He then stops singing. Thank merciful god!

"I'm practising my vocal exercises, if it weren't obvious!" He says and then continues his 'la's'. Oh yeah, Mark started getting singing lessons. God knows why! I then return to my PC, and then decide a very important decision. I'm going to tell him that I like Nicki.

He'll understand right? Probably not! He has the biggest crush on her and it will just be plain embarrassing telling him that I like the girl he likes! He hasn't told anyone he likes her though; its just plain obvious. I think I will tell him. He's my best friend, he deserves to know how I feel.

I turn to look at Mark, and it seems that something is troubling him. His eyebrows are furrowed and he is just staring into thin air. Wonder what's wrong?

"Hey Mark. What's wrong?" I ask concerned. It looks quite serious, like his facial expression. He turns to face me and he doesn't remove the facial expression. Okay, now I'm worried. He rubs his face and sighs a loud sigh.

"Jack. You deserve to know something..." He started with a serious tone. Now I'm worried. I nod, to tell him to carry on and he does.

"Jack... I... I think I like Nicki" he tells me quietly. I just look at him blankly. Great. I was about to tell him the exact thing. We stare at each other for a while until he starts to get freaked out by the silence.

"And... I know that you like her too..." He says quietly, looking down at his feet. That was when I was in complete and utter shock. We then stared at each other for another few minutes. I sighed aloud.

"Yes Mark. I do like Nicki. But... We can't let this get between us." I say in a serious tone. I didn't want a girl to get between us. We're best friends, nothing should get between us. Mark nods at me and then begins to hum a tune, which again, I don't recognise. I turn back to my PC and breath out a breath which I didn't realise I was holding.

Now all I have to do is tell Nicki how I feel, but that is going to be a lot trickier to do. If Nicki chose Mark then I would be upset, but I wouldn't let it bother me... To much. But if Nicki chose me then I would be over the moon. She is great and beautiful and she has a good taste in music. She is just perfect, and to be honest... I think she was made for me. Now that's just plain cheesy. Scratch that!

Anyway, I will see her tomorrow in gaming class, and I just hope Mark doesn't act different around me, now he officially knows. I just don't want to screw things up like I usually do.
