Fix Me (Septiplier) || The Boy Trap Book 2

Chapter 3 - Broken Boy

Mark's POV

I sat on the front steps of my house, scrolling through my phone. Molly was having a big party tonight at the Recreational Center to celebrate the start of summer. A bunch of people, mainly theatre people, would be there. Molly was picking everybody up in her brand new car she got for getting into Honors Society and having straight A's all year.

Suddenly a bright blue car turned around the corner. I stood up, but then quickly froze. Somebody was in the back seat, leaning out the window wearing a Llama mask.

"MERK LES GO PARY!" A muffled voice spoke through the mask.

"Uh, what?" I laughed. The person pulled off the mask, revealing green hair that stuck up everywhere.

"MARK LET'S GO PARTY!" Jack pushed open the door and pulled me inside. I sat down next to him and he put the mask back on.

"Why the fuck are you wearing that?" I looked at Jack, who was messing with a black bag.

"Because I'm cooler than you'll ever be." His muffled voice spoke as he pulled a ukulele out of the black bag.

"Why do you-"

"BECAUSE NO MORE HOMEWORK!" Jack shouted and, very violently, started playing the ukulele.

"Uh, where did he get that?" I put my hand on the back of Felix's chair. He was in the front seat next to Molly.

"He's had the ukulele." Felix looked up from his phone.

"The mask." I told him, just as Jack dropped his pick on the floor. He muttered a swear word and leaned to pick it up.

"From heaven." Felix laughed.

"JACK! STICK YOUR HEAD OUT THE WINDOW!" Molly shouted and rolled down Jack's window. Outside there was a huge crowd walking by. Jack stuck his head out the window and people laughed and pointed at his mask.

"Jack, why..." I put my face in my hands, trying to hide my embarrassed smile. The crowd passed and Jack sat back in his seat. He rolled up the window and leaned back.

Finally we arrived at the Rec Center. Molly parked and we all jumped out of the car. Jack bounced as he walked towards the door. Molly, Felix and I hung back and watched him.

"He's been really happy since his mom came back. I guess he's finally forgiven her." Molly smiled softly.

"I still can't believe he bought that Llama mask." I chuckled. We all made Jack leave it in the car, but he didn't mind. He just really wanted to go to the party.

"Let him have his fun. He has never been this way." Felix ran a hand through his hair.

"I honestly figured he would be more upset about his mom coming back. Something else definitely happened that day." Molly bit her lip, thinking. Finally I realized that Jack hadn't told them that we were dating yet. The does that mean... I'm the reason why he's so happy?

"Mark? Are you okay?" Felix opened the door to the Rec Center.

"Uh, yeah. I'm fine." I flashed him a kind smile and walked inside. Tons of decorations were everywhere and there was food like cake and cupcakes. By the time we had gotten inside Jack was leaning by the counter eating a cupcake.

"Jack! Wait until the party!" Molly scolded. Jack just flipped her off and continued eating his cupcake. Molly rolled her eyes and looked around at the decorations. "This is going to be awesome!"

Just an hour later, everyone had arrived. All the lights were out except for changing colored lights and the disco ball in the gym, where everyone was dancing wildly to the music. Molly was with a group of girls and Felix was joking around with some guy in a bear hat. Jack and I were off in a corner across the room talking.
