Logical《Septiplier》

「Chapter 22」

Our lives carried on, there was no doubting that. At this point, I didn't care if the world knew I was dating Mark. Zero fucks are given honestly.

I mean, sure of course i'm scared to see the reaction of some of my peers, but they can't act as if they didn't know queer people existed.

Mark didn't care, but I knew deep down he was terrified. I know deep down inside Mark was scared that everyone at school will think of him differently, that everyone will have the same reaction my father did.

That's where I come in.

I always comfort him and i'm always there. I refuse to leave side and I refuse to let him down. I'm here to support him because he was here to support me.

It's second semester of our senior year and soon our letters from colleges should be coming in. Mark and I applied to some of the same colleges, but because I didn't know what I wanted to do, I applied to as many different colleges as I could to widen my opportunities.

We're in the home stretch and we'll be out of here soon.

Being so focused on school, it slipped my mind that Sierra was the biggest bitch on this planet. In other words, I forgot she was plotting against us.

It was lunch at school one day, everything was going as normally planned.

But of course, here comes Sierra, making a grand entrance like she's royalty. I'm sure she's just trying to intimidate us again, so we continued with our lunch, ignoring her.

"MAY I HAVE EVERYONE'S ATTENTION PLEASE!" We hear her scream from the center of the cafeteria. It all went dead silent as everyone turns their head to see her standing there, eyeing out Mark and I.

"As you may know there are 2 gay people here in a relationship. But what if I told you there was something that they didn't know about each other?" Mark and I raise a brow and look at each other and then look at everyone in the group who is staring at us.

"FUCK OFF CRAZY BITCH!" Someone yelled out. The cafeteria burst out with laughter and Sierra got pissed.

"Whatever. Anyway, i'm sure they say they tell each other everything. But Mark have you never told Jack what you did to me." I look at Mark and Mark looks at me. We're both lost and have no idea what shes talking about.

"You look a little lost Markimoo. You don't remember when you said that you never actually liked Jack this whole time." Mark froze, I look to everyone who is now avoiding eye contact.

"Mark. Tell me it's not true." I say looking at him, seeing his eyes glaze over with tears welling.

"Oh and Jack. You weren't the only one being used. Mark, Jack only used you to get into your head about your grades. So, I guess the feelings between you two are mutual now." She laughs loud as the cafeteria is dead silent. Everyone's jaws dropped to the floor.

"M-mark tell me she's lying please. say something. she has to be lying. MARK." Broken sobs spill from Mark's throat.

"SIERRA YOU WHORE." Mark stands up wiping away his tears and readjusting his glasses. His face was red with fury, he was mad beyond all comprehension. Mark never gets mad.

Sierra whips her head around and directs her attention to Mark who is stomping his way to Sierra. The meet face to face with only a foot between the both of them.

"I'm not going to lie. At first, I didn't like Jack. I pity dated him, but soon I found myself falling for him. Really and truly Jack, I love you so much. And I know he's probably pissed. But right now I don't care." It hurt hearing the truth, but he had to come clean at some point.

"You know Mark. I've given you the chance to redeem yourself and get back with the person you're truly supposed to be with. me. But you've failed and yet again its all your fault." Mark huffs with anger and tries to take a swing at Sierra.

I stand up and run over to stop it. But it was too late.

Sierra dodged his punch and her fist went flying straight towards Mark's face. Time seemed to slow, everything happened in slow motion right before me.

she punched him square in the jaw, sending him flying backwards into a cafeteria table. His head hitting the corner of the chair, leaving him to fall to the floor.

Sierra had no regret and not one ounce of sadness. Mark lay there on the floor, unconscious and his head bleeding.

Everyone rushes over and I scream.

"YOU FUCKING BITCH." I blind sided her and hit her in her nose, causing it to bleed. And just like her, I didn't care that she was injured or hurt.

I look to Mark who had our whole group gathered around him, trying to stop the bleeding. My stomach sank and was twisted into knots.

I didn't want this to happen.

this wasn't supposed to happen.

"SOMEBODY CALL 911 RIGHT NOW."
