Into My Arms ○Septiplier○

Chapter 8

A/N I painted what I had imagined the drawing Mark did looks like. Just think if that, but like 100% better :P
I cropped my watermark out of it, and my Instagram has the full thing on there but I'd rather keep my personal life slightly private for now. Thankies <3

"Hey Jack," Mark spoke from across the room. "A couple of my friends and I are going to a diner to hand out. It'll be Suzy, Arin, and Danny. Wanna come?"

Jack was still sitting on the bed as he responded. "Yeah sure... I just don't know if I'll order anything."

"Don't sweat it," Mark chirped, "I'll just order a thing of fries and we can share."

Jack nodded his head with a big grin on his face. His phone vibrated in his pocket and he pulled it out to see a text from Tom.

"How did last night go? Get him to sleep with you?" -Tom

"You made it sound perverted but yah. Thanks for the confidence boost :P" -Jack

"I'll keep doin my best. It's kinda easy to make him jealous. When you left to get ready yesterday his face was like bright red lol" -Tom

Jack was startled when Mark's voice spoke, hushed but stern.

"Who ya talking to?"

"Just Tom." Jack smiled at Mark. Mark smiled back, but on the inside he was fuming. He walked closer to the door opening it and stepping out before telling Jack one last thing before he slammed the door.

"Get ready. We're leaving in 20." And with that, Jack was left dumbfounded and slightly hurt, but he knew this was for the best.

When Jack was done getting ready, he sped down the stairs to see Mark and his mom deep in conversation. Mark's mom only smirked as she talked then flipped him around to see Jack waiting for him. Mark gave a half smile and motioned for Mark to follow him out the door. They silently got it the car and Mark played music through the 12 minutes and 47 seconds that took them to get there. Not that Jack was counting or anything.

They left the car and entered the diner. Suzy noticed Jack and jumped up surprising him with a tackle-hug that made him nearly fall to the floor. They both started a fit of giggles as Mark rolled his eyes in his head. They went to go join Arin and Danny back at the table and soon enough they all started to have a nice conversation. Jack was quiet most of the time so Mark ordered the fries for him and they shared without being questioned a single time from anyone else. Jack's phone buzzed in his pockets every few minutes and Mark's mouth twitched every time. He grabbed Jack's hand before he reached to his pocket. Jack was a bit surprised at the gesture but went with. It hit him a second later when his phone vibrated again that Mark's hand squeezed tighter. Jack almost smiled but he kept it concealed.

Mark kept glancing at Jack. Admiring his apparel. Dark blue skinny jeans and and... One of Tom's shirts? Rage built up in him as he moved close to Jack's ear and whispered,

"Why are you wearing Tom's shirt?"

Jack looked up in confusion. "This is mine. I bought it a long time ago when hot topic was still for the 18 and older crowd."

Mark giggled at the last part and sighed  happily. And least it wasn't Tom's. Mark moved his hand to go around Jack's side and pulled him in.

Suzy noticed the small action and when the two were busy talking she leaned into Arins ear to tell him something.

"Did you know that they aren't a couple." She giggled. Arin whipped his head around and stared at her in disbelief.

"What!?" He whisper shouted. Danny was the only one who heard it and leaned in himself.

"What's 'what?" He asked. Arin told him the news he got from Suzy and his jaw dropped. Danny turned to them both and just stated plainly, "You guys aren't dating?"

They wiped their head up to look at them and Mark's face went pale as Jack's went bright red.

Jack tried to speak but all that came out was "Uh.. N-no uhh-"

But Jack was cut off from speaking as his phone started ringing loudly. Everyone looked at him and Arin motioned for him to answer it. Jack got up and went outside before pressing the green button and holding it up to his ear.

"Jack?" A raspy voice came from the phone in his and. As soon as Jack heard it, he covered his mouth and his eyes started to water.

It had been months since he heard his own fathers voice.

A/N just hoping you liked it <3 and sorry this is late btw I had to write it on my phone bc I didn't have access to my laptop :/
