Highschool Hell Pg. 3

Mark's POV

I felt terrible about what I did to Jack. I just want to keep my reputation so I'm not considered an outcast. If I tell Wade, Bob, Felix, Cry, Matt, and Ryan that I feel sorry for beating Jack up they'll disown me. They'll call me an outcast.

I walked into the cafeteria and saw Jack at his usual table. He was sitting alone and not even eating. I walked over to apologize to him. When he looked at me he was terrified. I don't blame him. If someone beat me up and they walked towards me I would be terrified too.

I sat down next to him. "Wh-What do you w-want?" He asked terrified. "I just came to apologize. I'm so sorry that I beat you up." I said. "It's OK. I'm used to it." Jack said skittishly. "You don't need to be." I said putting a hand on his shoulder. He flinched. I saw his long sleeved shirt come up a little and saw scars on his wrists.

"Jack?" I said. "Y-Yes?" He replied. "Why do you cut yourself?" I asked. "How did you know?!" He asked shocked. I carefully grabbed his arm and carefully pulled up his sleeve a little. "I seen these." I said pointing at the scars. "Please don't do it again." "Why do you even care? Your just a dumb jock who always beats me up." Jack said. "Jack, I want to help you." I said. "If you want to help me then leave me alone!" Jack said. He got up and stormed off.

Jack's POV (~Self harm ahead. Trigger warning.~)

I was so mad at Mark. He found out my secret. I knew there was only one thing that could take the pain I felt away right now. Cutting. I was going to cut my wrists.

I ran to the bathroom with tears streaming down my face. I locked myself in a stall in the bathroom and rolled up my sleeves. I pulled out the box that contained my razor blade. I carefully opened the box and pulled out the shiny, sharp, and cold metal.
I gripped the blade and slid it across my wrist. I clenched my teeth at the pain but I know I deserve it. The blade became warm with blood as I slid it across an old scar.

I heard knocking on the other side of the door. "Jack please open up." Someone said. It was Mark. "What do you want?! This doesn't concern you!" I yelled back. "Jack please." He said. Enough was enough. I pressed the blade against my skin and slid it across. I cut very deep. I yelled out in pain. "Jack what the hell are you doing?!" Mark asked panicking. "I'm fine!" I said. "I'm coming in there." He said. He rammed his shoulder into the stall door. He would never get it open.

I decided this was enough cutting and I put the blade back in the box. I put the box in my pocket.
~End of self harm.~
Somehow Mark barged through the door. He saw the new cuts on my wrists. "I asked you not to do this again." He said calmly. "I'm sorry Mark. I truly am. It's just when you found out my secret I thought this would make it better." I said crying.

"Shh, shh, it's okay." Mark said pulling me into a tight hug. I cried into his chest. I didn't even know if he was my friend but I felt so safe in his arms. "Wh-Why do you c-care so much about m-me?" I asked. "Because I just do. I've always felt bad for hurting you. I always punish myself after I beat you." He said. "I'll protect you now. I didn't know you did self harm." Mark said. "Th-Thank you!" I said happily.

Sorry that there was self harm. I hope you still enjoyed! Bye Aqualines!
