Jack's POV

"Okay everyone, great job! Take a break and get ready for rehearsal." Ms. Grand, the choreographer for our play, turned off the music and opened the door. People new to the dance class practically fell to the floor in exhaustion while others grabbed their water bottles. I grabbed my drawstring bag and turned to leave, but Ms. Grand stopped me. "Good job today, Jack. You're a talented kid." She flashed me a kind smile.

"Oh, uh, thanks. Good job... Teaching?" I mentally face-palmed.

"Have a good afternoon, get ready for rehearsal." Ms. Grand laughed and shooed me out of the room.

"I do not want to do anything today. I'm so tired." Felix sat down in a chair, pulling a T-shirt over his black tank top.

"I'm gonna tell Mark to bring me food." I smiled and pulled out my phone.

"Who's Mark?" My double, Bryce, asked as he sat next to me.

"Ooh, can you tell him to get me something? I'll pay him back!" Molly looked over my shoulder at my phone. I yanked my phone away and stood in a corner to text.

"Who's Mark?" Bryce asked Molly again.

"Uh," She bit her lip, wondering if it was okay to tell Bryce. "A friend of ours. Ask Jack." She shifted back in her chair. Her double, Grace, sat down next to her after she finished changing out of her black dance clothes.

Jack:
hELP I'M STARVING TO DEATH
Bring me food? ❤

Daddy❤:
Ugh fine ❤

Jack:
Oh Molly wants food too
She'll pay you back

Daddy❤:

Jack:

Daddy❤:

Jack:
I am oFFENDED
Panda Express

Daddy❤:
See ya in a bit, love you

Jack:
I love you too ❤

"Mark's coming." I plopped back down next to Bryce. I pulled out my script, studying my lines while we waited for Mark. Grace gossiped with Molly, twirling her golden curly hair around her finger. Finally I heard the door open. "Gimme!" I put my script down and reached out to Mark. He laughed, pulling out a styrofoam box and putting it in my outstretched hands. "Thank you." I pat the seat next to me, inviting him to sit down. Molly grabbed her food and quickly started eating.

"So, how's the play so far?" Mark asked. "And who are your friends?"

"Mark, Bryce. Bryce, Mark." I gestured from Bryce to Mark. "Bryce is my double for Mad Hatter." I turned to Grace. "And this is-"

"Hi~! I'm Grace!" She held out her hand. Mark awkwardly shook it and flashed her a smile. "I'm Molly's double for Queen of Hearts. I've been acting for a year now. The director says I was born for acting and made for this part." She boasted. Molly rolled her eyes and I felt my face grow hot. I opened my mouth to speak, but she interrupted again. "Y'know, I'm only in one scene today. I'll be out in 45 minutes. Do you want to meet up at the Starbucks down the street? Just to get to know each other. Any friend of Jack's is a friend of mine." She leaned forward, practically pushing Molly into the wall.

"Grace, this is Mark." I tried to keep my voice low.

"Oh I know, I'd love to-"

"My boyfriend." I grit through my teeth. Bryce's mouth dropped open slightly, then shut quickly. Grace scoffed and glared at me, scrunching up her nose and furrowing her eyebrows. "Mark, I need to talk to you." I grabbed his hand roughly and pulled him up, shoving my food to Molly. I stormed out the door and pulled him outside next to a wall.

Mark's POV

"Jack, I wasn't hitting on her. She was hitting on me." I said in defence. Suddenly I realized he wasn't mad. Instead, he looked up at me with tears streaming down my cheeks.

"I-I know, I... I just..." He covered his mouth and let out a choked sob.

"Jack, baby, are you okay?" I hugged him quickly.

"Please... P-Please don't le-eave me..." he sobbed into my shoulder. I let him cry it out for a few minutes until he calmed down a bit.

"You know I wouldn't leave you." I smoothed his hair down.

"No, I don't know that!" He sobbed louder and hugged me tighter.

"I love you so, so much." I hushed him. "I wouldn't leave you. Especially not for a girl."

"D-Do you promise?" He asked quietly.

"I promise." I ran my hand up and down his back. "If anything, I should worry about you leaving me for a girl. You're the bisexual one." I chuckled softly.

"I'm the one fucking crying about my gay boyfriend leaving me for a girl. I'm not going anywhere." He nuzzled comfortably into the crook of my neck. "I love you so, so, so, so, so very much." He hugged me until I could barely breathe. I groaned and laughed, letting him hug me. "I guess I have to go." He sighed sadly and stepped back, still wiping tears away.

"Hey, don't be upset." I wiped his tears with my thumb.

"I'm just scared. I just had a fucking panic attack, I'm not calming down any time soon." He laughed solemnly. I kissed him quickly then hugged him.

"Have a good time at rehearsal, okay?" I pulled back.

"Okay. Love you." He smiled softly. I kissed the top of his head and turned to walk away. He took a deep breath, and slowly pushed the door open.
