HEIGHTS (SEPTIPLIER)

Heights

JACK'S POV
--------------------
Our panel at Pax Prime with Wade and Bob just ended. I have my hand intertwined with Mark's. Wade and Bob walk us to where our elevators are, we all say our goodbyes until later,

"Oooo Jackaboy! Let's get on the see through elevators! Come on it'll be fun!"  Mark says with pure joy on his face, "I-uh um o-okay sure lets do it!" I agree back slightly, majorly terrified. Mark doesn't know that I have Acrophobia, a very big fear of heights, but I get on the elevator with him anyway.

I took a big step into the elevator, Mark pressed the 20th floor button and it started going up, my breathing hitched but I managed to stay calm.

Until the elevator stopped at only floor 13.

MARK'S POV
--------------------

The elevator was going up higher and higher until it stopped at only floor 13.

"Hey what gives? This isn't our floor!" I say getting frustrated, I was so concerned about getting it going again that I didn't notice Jack beginning to breathe heavier.

"Attention elevator passenger, we are very sorry. But at this moment we are experiencing technical difficulties and the elevator is stuck, however please remain calm as some one will be with you soon. Thank you!"  A lady said over the intercom.

I groan "Uggg how long do you think we will have to wait Jack?" No answer "Jack Ja-" I look over at Jack and he isn't breathing right.

JACK'S POV
-------------------

My breathe is coming out rapidly and I start to have a panic attack, I never go on high places and now I'm stuck 30 or so feet in the air, I'm terrified.

"Jack Ja-" Mark looks over at me and sees me on the ground, my knees hugged to my chest and tears threatening to spill over.  "H-hey Jackaboy what's wrong it's okay!" I shake my head "N-no Mark I-it's not o-okay! I-I'm t-t-terrified of H-heights!! G-get m-m-me down! P-please!!" I say my tone begging.

Mark crouches down to my level and sits next to me, he puts his arm around my shoulder pulling me closer to him. "Hey Jackaboy it's okay, shhh I'm right here, I'm here it's alright."

I look up at him, tears rolling down my cheeks, he smiles and I bury my head into his neck so I can't see the height.
Then the elevator starts moving again and we make it to our floor.

We get out and walk to our room. I don't let go of Mark till we get there.
"Thank you so much for putting up with me Mark, I don't know what I'd do without you. I love you."  Mark smiles "No worries Jack, I love you too."

It was at that moment that heights didn't seem so scary anymore.
