Jack's POV:

My phone vibrated in my hand. I sighed and picked it up.

"You okay back there?" The Uber driver asked.

"Uh no actually but what can I do about it..."

He handed me a candy bar and some tissues with a half hearted, warm smile. I took them and looked at my phone.

Jack I have to show you

Show me what, Mark?

Just hold on you'll see in a minute

Mark what the hell are you talking about

He didn't respond. God dammit why do I keep replying. The part of me that is so mad at him is telling me to delete his contact. But the good side of me is telling me to turn the car around. I sobbed silently. Why was I crying? Crying does nothing. I wiped a tear off my chin and my phone vibrated again. I shook my head and picked it up. It was an unknown number?

Hey it's Yami and...I just wanted to say I'm sorry. I didn't know it's not Mark's fault it's mine.

What?

Im saying that I was the first one to text. I brought it up when you saw it

Okay but that doesn't explain the name and everything else that happened between you two in the span of 24 hours. He didn't have to respond. He could have ignored it but he didn't.

I'm really sorry.

Uh huh

I threw my phone on the seat next to me and curled into a ball. The airport was in my sights. The driver parked the car and looked back. I handed him some money and let him keep the change as I grabbed my bag. I waved and closed the door. Turn back. A voice in the back of my head called. You can turn back. You want to turn back. I sighed and walked inside.

I found a seat in the corner while I waited for my plane. As I waited, my phone went off again.

"Jesus fuck."

I picked it up.

Jack where are you

The airport like I said i'd be?

Please come back i'm sorry

I know you are

So then why not come back

Because Mark. Did you think that little random texts with Yami would help?

I thought they'd help you realize it wasn't me

Well that plan went wrong

I dunno what else to do.

What else is there to do?

Jack please come back.

No

I'm so sorry.

Mark

I'm an asshole

No you're not

Really?

For the moment, maybe. But normally no

Please Jack

Mark I told you. We're done. I'm going home.

Are you ever coming back?

I dunno Mark

Probs not

Mark stop

Stop what?

Please. You're making me cry again.

God damnit...

Look I gotta go my flight is leaving.

Jack wait

What

I'm so sorry. I should've done something different. I didn't mean to hurt you. I'm sorry.

Me too Mark, me too.

I grabbed my bag and got in line to board the plane.
