Jacks POV

               I woke up at 5am feeling super sore. I groaned in pain waking up Mark. "Sorry didn't  mean to wake you." Mark looked over at me. "It's okay. You doing okay?" "Yeah it just hurts a bit." Mark opened his phone to check the time. "I'm gonna start getting ready want any help?" "No I'll be fine." "Okay." I sat up slowly trying not to make a sound so Mark would stop asking to help me. I got outta bed and struggled to get dressed. I struggled to get my sweatshirt back on. "Mark?" Mark came upstairs and looked at me. "Yeah?" I looked down at my leg again. "Can you help me." "Of course love." Mark walked over to me. He started to put on my sweatshirt until I cried out in pain. "You okay?" "It really hurts.." "Your okay....your okay." I let Mark put on my sweatshirt painfully. "See your okay." "I want the pain to go away." "I know love." 

               Mark got me in the car and drove us to school. He pulled into the parking lot and I sighed. "You'll be just fine I'll be with you all day." "Okay." I gripped his hand one last time and got out of the car. I went over to my locker and tried to get my stuff. Fucking crutches! "Can I help you yet?" Mark asked again. "Yeah." I sighed and let Mark carry my stuff. It felt just like old times when we first met. The day went by normally till the last hour. "Okay I'll see you after class." Mark said. I turned even paler then I already was. I gripped his arm and he turned around and looked at me. "Yo..you said you'd be with me all day." " I know but it's just one hour you'll be okay." Mark kissed my forehead and went to class and so did I sitting down nervously. I began to shake nervously. 

Marks POV 

               After class a waited for Jack at his locker. He didn't show up anytime soon so I asked Felix where he could have gone. "Felix where's Jack?" "Bathroom." I ran to the bathroom to find Jack sitting on the ground with dried tears on his face. He looked up at me. I knelt down next to him. "What happened Jack." "Billy saw me..." "Jack what happened?!" "He hit me Mark..." Jack pulled up his sleeve revealing yet another bruise. I pulled Jack into a hug trying not to hug him to hard. I picked up Jack and carried him to the car. He refused to say anything to me. "Jack please talk to me." He continued to ignore me. "Jack?" Jack looked over at me. "Yes." "I love you."  "I love you too." Jack turned back around and stared blankly out the window. When we got home I carried Jack inside without him complaining. He played with his fingers as he always did when he was ashamed in himself. I laid him on the bed and snuggled up against him. I played with him hair hoping he'd say something. "Mark?" "Yeah." "You would never hurt me right?" I stopped playing with his hair and turned him around so he was facing me. "I would never ever hurt you Jack." Jack softly kissed my lips and pulled away. "You hungry?" I asked hoping he would eat. "Yeah." I went downstairs and made us food. When I got upstairs Jack jumped. "You scared the shit outta me!" He laughed. "Sorry." I laughed too. Me and Jack ate and then watched a movie for a while until Jack fell asleep in my arms. I slowly drifted off into a deep sleep soon after.

Jacks POV 

               I woke up and looked at the clock realizing it was only 2am. I winced in pain as my side began to hurt. I felt a stickyness on my hand I realized that the bed was covered in blood. I pulled up my shirt to see that my stitches had started to come undone. "Ow!" I shook Mark awake. "Mark...Mark!" Mark shot up. "You okay." I pulled up my shirt and showed Mark. Mark picked me up and took me to the bathroom and wrapped up my side with a bandage securing my stitches. After that Mark took me downstairs to the couch and set me there and fixed the bed upstairs. Mark came downstairs a while later. "You tired love?" He asked. "Yeah." I kissed Mark on the cheek and began to fall asleep once again. 

            "Jack?" I heard Marks soft voice in my ear. I slowly opened my eyes to see Mark leaning over me. "Wake up love." I opened my eyes fully seeing Marks beautiful face. Mark smiled down at me and I smiled back. "Come on we gotta get ready." My smiled disappeared as I realized today I had to go back to school. I didn't say a word I just sat up slowly. "Jack? You okay?" "F...fine." "Need any help?" "S...sure." Mark picked me up and carried me upstairs. I got dressed carefully and slowly. Mark then carried me back downstairs to the car. We headed to school not saying a word the entire ride. I hopped out of the car, got my crutches and went inside. The day carried on just as it did yesterday. Until I got to 7th hour having to leave Mark again. "I'll walk you to class if you want?" Mark asked worrying as usual. "No I'm good." I went to class and got a sick feeling to my stomach. I pulled out my phone and texting Mark quickly before class began. 

Jack: Mark? 

Mark: yeah? Everything okay? 

Jack: I want you here..

Mark: I know love but I can't. You feeling okay?

Jack: yeah fine. 

I put my phone away and suddenly felt bad for lying to Mark. Class ended a while later. I texted Mark to meet me at my locker. I pulled my hood over my head hoping Billy wouldn't see me and move on. I met Mark and he took us home. I stared out the window the entire way home just thinking about Mark and everything that had happened recently. "Jack? Seriously you feeling okay? I realized I was dozing. "Nothing will be the same..."
