Chapter 9

Jack's POV

After I got my hair to finally stop sticking up, I was ready for us and Mark to head out.

I couldn't help but continue thinking of what happened today. I almost had a full blown anxiety attack right in front of someone. I couldn't stop giving myself negative feedback. I was so weak. So fucking weak.

No Jack, you are weak.

I clenched my eyes shut, and shook my head.

"You okay Jack?" Mark's voice broke my train of thought, and I looked at him, smiling.

"Yup! Just awesome. Thought I was gonna sneeze for a second!" Excuses. He chuckled at me a little.

He can read through you.
The voice in my head wouldn't stop.

"Come on, let's leave," Mark said, and I nodded. No matter what I did, the thoughts wouldn't stop, "Jack. "

"Huh?"

"You're staring off into space, are you sure you're okay?" He asked, and I could tell he was worried and because of that I felt so guilty. I'm making him worry.

"Yeah! Yeah, I'm fine," I said, a bit quicker then I wanted. He sighed softly, and I looked down at my feet.

Come on Jack. Stop it. He knows who you are. He knows how weak you are. What, are you not even-

It stopped when I felt a pressure in my hand, it took me a moment to realize that Mark was indeed holding my hand.

Mark is holding my hand.

"Mark, what are you doing?" I asked, looking at our hands.

"It's comforting. Plus It'll distract you," he said and chuckled once again, before pulling me out of his room heading to the front door, "It did take you out of your thoughts though, right?" He asks, looking back at me before smiling.

I couldn't help but smile softly in return, his smile could light up a whole room, "Yeah. You're right. "

"Wanna talk about what's on your-" He cut himself off when he opened the door. "Shit, shit shit," He repeated that word a few times before slamming the door, "Okay Jack. You follow me and do exactly as I say, okay?" He spoke quickly, it almost seemed like he was kind of terrified. I nodded, and without any word he was pulling me away from the front door. Taking me to another door, which I presumed was the back, he opened it and basically pulled me out without pulling himself out, "Jump the fence. I'll be there soon, and act like you're just a random citizen then closed the door quickly.

I stared at the door, wondering if I should. I did say I would do whatever he said.. I decided to take his word. I ran to his fence, my hand on top of it and I threw my legs over. Landing it. I looked at his house. What was going on? I was so confused as to what was going on.

I started walking up towards the front, being careful of who would see me. I peeked over from the side of the house and saw a car in the driveway.

Oh.

His mom must be home. I was quick to run from their yard and get on the sidewalk to at least look like a regular citizen. I walked slowly on the road in front of Mark's home. I started getting really worried. What if something bad is happening? What if he's just playing you a trick? I could feel myself getting anxious again.

No Jack. Stay calm, I'm sure he's fine.

I had a feeling that that thought was wrong, and I was proved correct when the door slammed. I stopped in my spot. I was glad that Mark noticed me almost immediately and ran over to me.
