Madness (Completed)

My Plans

I look at Bob, instant concern coming to me. Bob stands tall and sighs again, readying himself to explain.
"Okay. Please don't be mad at me, or Mark." Bon pauses. I nod, assuming what he is going to tell me.
"I know you traded me. Mark explained it. What did he say?" I ask, redirecting the question.
"Oh, good. He said we don't get supplies until we hand you over, in a locked room in their base. They said that don't want you to run, so our plan can't work. Its either you or the supplies, obviously I would pick you. But, they won't let us leave with you. I know that for a fact." Bob says letting out a shaky breath. I shake my head in denial, as if everything Bob said was a huge lie.
"I can't stay here. I won't stay here. We are leaving tonight, start packing. I'll deal with myself." I growl grabbing a supply bag off the couch and starting to load up things we need.
"But... How? We don't have a plan." Bob says following after me, trying to stop me.
"I have a plan. I can deal with myself, just... Start packing." I demand.
"This is a bad idea." I hear Kate's voice say, but I ignore it completely. Bob puts a hand on my shoulder to stop me.
"We need to know the plan so we can protect you. At least tell me, or Mark. I won't let your anger ruin our escape." Bob says sternly.
"I won't ruin anything, I can handle myself." I say, twirling on my heel to face Bob.
"I didn't doubt that. All I was saying is that you need to tell someone, so that we can help you." Bon explains, trying to calm his voice.
"What's goin' on?" I hear a loud, Irish voice shout as footsteps run down the stairs towards us.
"I'm trying to help Violet not get herself killed when we leave." Bob shouts back.
"I won't get myself killed. I can handle myself." I snap at Bob.
"We can't assure that. Can you just tell someone your plan so that someone can keep an eye on you? At least tell Jack. I'm done trying with you." Bob sighs walking away from me towards the stairs. I see Jack come up to me in Bobs place and put a hand on my shoulder lovingly.
"Hey, what happened? What did Mark say about the trade?" Jack asks soothingly.
"It was true, but they were never gone leave me." I explain with a sigh.
"Okay, what happened with Bob just now?" Jack asks.
"A man came, he said that they wouldn't give any supplies until they had me captured. It ruined our plan, so I had one of my own to get out." I explain with a heavy sign escaping my mouth.
"What's your plan?" Jack asks. I sigh again, even more heavily than the last.
"I'm just gonna run for it and hope to make it out. Eventually I would meet back with you guys and maybe you guys could bargain for food once I'm gone." I sigh again.
"No. I'm not gonna let you leave alone. I can go with you." Jack offers. I shake my head at his answer.
"You can't, they will suspect more if anyone comes with me. I'm going alone." I say sternly.
"No, I'm coming with you. You are not going alone, have you told Mark about this?" Jack asks, shock in his face and voice.
"No, I don't plan to. I'll say goodbye to you all and leave tonight. I'll try to leave marks so you can track me." I explain putting my hand on Jacks cheek soothingly. "Jack, I'll be fine. You know I'll be fine. Please don't make this harder then it needs to be." I say soothingly. A tear slips out of Jacks eye as he puts his hand on mine.
"I can't lose you. Please, don't leave. For me? For Mark? For peace of mind?" He pauses. "Please?" Jacks voice cracks which makes sad pain raise inside me.
"I can't. I won't put you all at risk for me." I say trying hard to hold back my tears. Jack blinks a few times rapidly and takes in a deep breath.
"I love you, Violet. I will look to the ends of the Earth if I have to, I will find you again. I promise." Jack whispers, closing his eyes for a moment to take a breath and opening them once more. I can't hold back all my tears, one of them slips from my eye and rolls down my cheek quickly.
"I love you. But, don't look for me too long. Live your life as best you can, fight Eaters, meet survivers, maybe settle down with one of them. Protect the group, you all mean so much to me, I hope you know that." I say, trying to put on a smile for Jack even though tears fall from my eyes like rain that never ends.
"I will. Heh, that's the least I could do." Jack chuckles through his tears. Jack wipes tears from my cheeks so I could see his faint smile better.
"I'm gonna miss you..." I pause, giving Jack a small smile, that I think we both need. "I need to get ready to leave. If I have to do this with all of you, I think I'll be dehydrated from lack of tears in my body. Maybe we should take that water after all." I chuckle, trying to make Jack laugh or smile at my joke. I get Jack to crack a small smile.
"Make sure to say goodbye again, I wanna see you before you leave. I won't tell anyone your plan, that's your job." Jack explains, his smile fading again. "I'll miss you, and I promise I'll look for you. Use this for a sign, carve it into trees. That way I'll know its you." Jack says handing me a small piece of paper. I see a small green eye drawn on it and nod.
"Okay. I won't lose this, trust me." I chuckle again.
"Good, I call him Septic Eye Sam. He'll keep an eye on yeh." Jack chuckles at his own pun.
"Well, I'll make sure to keep him close. I gotta pack now, with all my goodbyes I won't have time later." I joke taking my hand off Jacks face. Jack smiles and moves for me to get by.
"I'll see you before I leave." I tell Jack.

~*Marks POV*~

I get out of the shower and I hear Bob shouting in the room next to mine. I quickly slip on my clothes and sprint to the room next door. I see Bob running his fingers through his hair with Wade sitting on the edge of a bed taking in a deep breath. They both turn their heads towards me once they see me and sigh in unison.
"What's going on?" I ask, concern instantly filling me.
"They won't give us supplies without us handing them Violet. She said she has her own plan, but she wouldn't tell me. Maybe she'll tell you, but I don't think it will be easy to get out of here safely now." Bob says worriedly, removing his hands from his hair and down to his sides.
"What are we going to do?" I ask, knowing Bob is already thinking of a replacement plan.
"We don't take the supplies and run in the middle of the night. You heard them yesterday, they won't let her leave. We have to sneak her out or something. What I really want to know is, what's her plan?" Bob says, stress covering all his emotions and voice.
"I'll ask her. You think of something, I'll be back in a bit." I say with a sigh. I start down the hallway and down the stairs. I see Jack coming out of the kitchen while Violet is packing different items in her bag.
"Hey." I say walking into the kitchen. Jack turns his head to look at me and shakes it as he walks away. I look back at Violet who puts down her bag to face me.
"Hey. What's wrong?" She asks sweetly.
"Bob told me you had a plan. I'm guessing you know what he told me to ask you." I chuckle softly, turning serious once more almost instantly. Violet sighs, putting a hand on my cheek lightly.
"I want to tell you, but... I know you wouldn't let me." Violet smiles softly, but it fades quickly.
"Just tell me, I won't judge until you explain yourself." I say, giving her my small puppy dog eyes.
"I really want to... Trust me I do. But you won't let me. I'm sorry, but I can't tell you Mark." Violet says soothingly rubbing her thumb over my cheek.
"I won't stop whatever you're doing. I just want to know. I can make up something to tell Bob, this is me wanting to know what you want to do." I say, trying to convince Violet further. Violet searches my eyes, hesitating to respond.
"I'll tell you tonight. I promise I'll explain everything." She says giving me a soft smile that I adore.
"Okay. I'll see you then. Have fun packing." I chuckle beginning to head back to Bob, he hates waiting.
