[Sean's POV]

I finished my phone call with Daithi as he announced he was boarding the plane to leave for America, I still couldn't believe he was going but I knew it was a big deal for him. I set my phone down and shuffled in my seat, grabbing my hat off my desk and dusting it down a little. I hadn't worn it in God knows how long, but now was the time to bring it back.

I smiled as I typed a text to Mark saying, 'it's time ✨' and hitting send. I grabbed my notepad and flicked to my video page, having a glance at what game I should play for my comeback video. I decided on Happy Wheels because it always cheered me up, no matter what mood I was in.

I made sure all my recording equipment was set up right before clearing my throat and clapping, once all my recordings were in sync I began my intro,

"Top of the mornin' to ya laddies! My name is jacksepticeye and welcome back to... HAAAAAAPPY WHEELS!" I yelled, leaning back in my chair and waving my arms frantically.

"So, I know it's been a while bu-" I was cut off by my phone whistling at me, alerting me of a new tweet that had come through. I apologised to the camera and opened up Twitter, it was a tweet from Mark so it was worth looking at. However, it was certainly not a tweet I wanted to see.

My heart began racing and I removed my headphones, staring down at my phone. This couldn't be right, Mark was speaking to me a few hours ago. I immediately clicked off Twitter and scrolled down my contacts until I found Mark's name, I clicked on it and dialled his number, getting up and walking over to the window. I tapped my fingers on the windowsill impatiently as I waited for somebody to pick up, but to no surprise, there was no answer. I didn't stop trying however, I continued to call and call.

I gradually got more worried as the minutes continued, why couldn't I get a hold of anybody?

I clicked back onto Twitter to see if I could find any more news on Mark but everybody seemed to be reacting like me, they were all curious and confused. I sighed and tried calling Mark again, huffing in annoyance when nobody picked up. I decided to try Bob and Wade but neither of them picked up, leaving me confused and pretty sad.

After about twenty minutes of pacing back and forth, my phone finally began to ring. I flew across the room and picked it up, swiping it across and holding it up to my ear.

"Hello?" I said rather quickly,

"Jack, hello." I frowned when I heard Mark's mum on the other side of the phone.

"Hi, I -uh - what's happened?" I heard her sigh loudly,

"If you want me to be honest with you, I actually don't know. Mark got this pain that was really hurting him and next thing I knew he was being rushed into hospital, I've not long gotten here but he's all hooked up to machines and wires are everywhere." I shook my head as if to shake away the bad news I had just been told, my best friend was in hospital?

"Oh man, I know he's not okay but is he stable and breathing?" I tensed up a little as I waited for the news.

"Yes, thankfully. They don't know what has actually happened but it was scary." I ran my hand through my hair, this was complete and utter madness. Mark had showed no signs of being ill in any way, so what was it?

"I'm glad he's being taken care of, when I saw the tweet I just panicked. Is there any chance I can get to talk to him?" There was a little bit of shuffling on the end of the phone but she soon replied.

"I don't think he will be able to talk no, he can barely get a word out. He might be able to text you though, I'll see how he feels." I felt my eyes water a little, he sounded so weak.

"Okay thank you, please keep me updated on whatever happens. I know I'm not much use this far away but I care, send him all my love."

"You can't help the distance but he'll be happy to hear from you, I told him I'd let you know what's happened. I need to go because the doctor's calling me, bye Sean." I hung up and collapsed onto my bed, sighing deeply.  I really hoped the doctor had disturbed the phone call to tell her good news, because I needed to hear it too. So many things have gone wrong or been bad lately, and this just added to the list.

I decided on sending a text to Mark so if he does have the energy to talk, there'll be something there waiting for him.

Jackaboy: Markimoo 😟 your mum rang me and told me everything that's happened (well not everything, I still don't know what's wrong with you). Anyway, hopefully by the time you're reading this you're feeling a little better and have some strength to reply. I can't express how worried I am 😟 we were talking just a few hours ago and I even sat down to record my comeback video, but that can all wait now because your health is a lot more important. If you can, just let me know that you're okay and still breathing because I'm worried. And sad. But mainly worried, I can't lose my best friend. Love you man 💚

I hit send and bit my lip anxiously, hopefully there wasn't too much there and I didn't sound like a little weirdo. I just wanted him to know that I care, because I do.

I managed to get a good few hours sleep but that didn't stop me from waking up in the morning and racing over to my computer and phone to see if there was any news on Mark. My heart nearly fell out of my chest when I spotted a video that had been uploaded to his channel, named 'Markiplier in The Hospital'. Without hesitation I jumped into my seat and clicked the video to watch it, I immediately felt my heart break at the sight of my innocent best friend lay there helplessly with dozens of wires attached to him.

As the video went on he explained that whatever happened to him was not life threatening (thankfully), but he does have to be attached to a lot of machines. Finally that he had a sudden pain and now he's in hospital he might have to miss videos, which was perfectly understandable. He was in pain, nobody should be forced to make content when in pain.

I finished the video and wiped my now blurry eyes, he looked so weak and fragile. I just wanted to go and cuddle up to him. It was obvious that he was worried and tired considering it was around 4am where he was. I picked up my phone to see if I had a text, to my surprise I did. I opened it up and smiled lightly,

Markimoo: You won't lose me, I'm not going anywhere. Love you too 💙
