May I Have This Dance

Chapter 18

Jack's POV
It's the Friday of the winter formal. Which is one of the worst dances. I have no idea why I attended such an event full of shitty music that's on replay. Along with soft porn everywhere. However I only came to protect my best friend who, yes is not shutting me out fully. Except with some of his relationship stuff. That can stay private.
So I stand here in my blue dress shirt and white bow tie looking pretty good I do say so myself. Lucas and Mark pull away once the song is over. Lucas motions that he'll be back in a second and Mark nods walking over to me. A smile is spread across his face and I give a slight one back.
"Having fun," I chuckle.

"Yeah, just out of breath."
From the corner of my eye I see Lucas take Ryan's hand and lead him out of the gym doors. My jaw clenches with anger. They are literally on a date right now and he's going to cheat on him in the same fucking building.
"Jack, you okay bud?"

"Yeah, just peachy."

"I know they play shit music, but come dance with me. Show me those moves," Mark says taking my hand and pulling me away form the wall.

"Fine, but I won't be going all dancer on you. Only my home alone ones," I laugh and Mark starts to dance in the middle of the floor.
I start to dance with him laughing and singing along to the pop music. The lights radiate off of his pink hair that matches his tie. Mark's eyes sparkle even more than usual and his pupils grow wider staring at me. The upbeat song switches to a slow one and we juts...stand there. It's not awkward, we just stand there looking at each other.
"I have to pee." Mark says and I burst out laughing.
He then speed walks to the bathroom leaving me slow dancing with myself.

Mark's POV
The way his blue eyes shined under the white light. The shirt and tie really made them pop. Which that isn't the only thing that they did. He looked so beautiful. The way his pupils grew looking at me. His hair styled absolutely perfect. Jack just looked amazing and I can barely take my eyes off of him. However I could feel myself trying to do something I know I shouldn't. So I made up an excuse to stop me from the task.
"I have to pee."
He bursted out laughing and I quickly walked to the bathroom. When I get inside the disgusting place I go to the sink. I splash water in my face and dry it with paper towel.
"You have a boyfriend Mark, don't even think about it."
I then head out the door however I hear a familiar voice. There's fear in me and I hope to god that it isn't who I think it is. I follow the voices praying hoping that I'm wrong. Once I find the source of the noise I open the unlocked door.
Lucas has some guy pressed against the wall and kissing down his neck. Tears make their way down my cheeks. They both suddenly notice my crying stature and Lucas's eyes don't show any emotion.
"You fucking asshole! You lied to me! You said that you loved me! That you would always be there for me! I hope you rot in hell with this douche! I'm sorry I'm sure you had no idea and that you're a really nice guy."

"Wait, Lucas who is this?"

"I'm his now ex boyfriend."

"You said that you broke up with him! What the hell?!"

"Babe come on! You can't break up with me!"

"Too bad I just did!"
I then storm off keeping my cries inside me. I can hear the boy shouting at him and at least he can face him longer than I can. How was I so naive to believe that he loved me. Lucas is such an asshole and I hope that he rots in hell.
"Mark are you okay," I hear Jack ask from the gym doors.
He sees me and his face softens. His whole body cones out of the doorway and places his hands on my shoulders.
"What's wrong?"

"Felix was right, you were right fucking everyone was right. Lucas is a fucking asshole and I should have seen this coming," I cry and he pulls me into his body.

"I would love to comfort you, but I need to do something that I've been meaning to do for so long."
Jack then pulls away from me and goes down the hallway to where Lucas and the guy were. I follow behind him just to see what's going to happen.
"Hey fuck bag!"
Lucas turns his head around and Jack punches him square in the face. He doesn't punch him hard enough to knock him down, but just hard enough that he got pissed as fuck.
"Run," he shouts at me and I start running.
Jack catches up to me and he takes my hand leading me somewhere. We head out the door as I hear Lucas scream at us to come back and fight. However all I can hear is my heart pounding. I mean I'm not going to lie I love running under the stars with Jack. It's a sense of spontaneous adventure that I needed. Sooner or later we're in the parking lot catching our breath. We no longer hear Lucas's calls as we sit on my car hood.
"Hey, how about you spend the night? We can make more brownies and play Mario Maker," Jack nudges me and I smile slightly with a nod.
We get in my busted up car and I drive us to our houses.
***
I'm curled up under the soft red blanket in just a black shirt and boxers. Jack sits beside me under the blanket playing by himself as I eat most of the tray of brownies. As soon as he reaches to the end he leans back and sets the controller down. His eyes gaze over to me and he bites his lip.
"What," I ask.
