Marks POV
Jacks alarm blared. He hit the snooze button and tried to get up. I held him tighter keeping him down. He sniffled. "Mark what are you doing?" "Your not going today." "Mark please." "Jack..." "Please just let me go..." I could hear his voice break as tears were ready to fall. I let go of Jack allowing him to get up. I laid on the bed watching him get ready. Before he could leave I jumped up kissing him. He wrapped his hands around my waist. "I love you." "I love you too." Jack left looking back at me before closing the door. "God I love you..."
Jacks POV
I got in the car sighing. I rested my head on the wheel breathing steadily to keep the tears in. I then drove to school taking the long way hoping to be late. I made it early instead. When I got in the school the group of guys from yesterday were waiting for me. I kept my head down and tried to walk past but was stopped. "Where the hell do you think your going?" I was silent. "Away from you." I tried to push through but failed due to how weak I was. "Nice try." I stood staring. "What your little boyfriend ain't here to save you?" I tried to speak but choked instead. "His little threat doesn't scare me." "What?" "Oh so you don't know that he told me not to mess with you?" "No." He laughed kneeing me in the gut. I winced in pain. They continued to laugh more. I was then pushed to the ground. They left after flipping me off dozens of times. I got up and ran to the bathroom locking the door. I looked in the mirror staring at myself cry. It's happening again. I pulled scissors out of my backpack. I hesitated. Mark. I can't hurt him anymore so maybe this is the best. I slowly sliced my skin 7 times. Tears fell into the blood covering my arms. I sobbed covering my mouth not trying to be to loud. I fell to the ground holding the scissors. I looked at them for a while. I threw them across the room breaking them. I rested my hands in my hair crying. An announcement went on telling me to report to the office. I stood slowly feeling slightly dizzy. I wiped my tears away and grabbed my stuff and walked to the office. The lady at the front desk told me to see the principal. I did as she said and went into the cold, old fashioned room. "Jack sit." I sat avoiding eye contact. "Why are you-" he stopped seeing my red puffy eyes. "Are you okay?" "F..fine." My voice cracked showing I had been once crying. "I'm gonna call a guardian and have them pick you up." "Call this number please." I handed him Marks number. "You may leave." I went into the office and waited for Mark to pick me up. When he came he ran over to me kneeling down beside me. "Hey Jack you okay?" "Can we please just go home..." Mark looked angry and sad at the same time. He got up and ran out of the office to a classroom. I chased him. He ran over to the boy who messed with me. He grabbed him by the shirt scaring the shit outta him. "I told you to leave him the fuck alone!" "I don't have to listen to you!" "I swear to fucking god if he dies!-" "Mark!" I yelled pulling him off. I can't believe he said that. I put my hand on his chest stopping him from doing anything further. I pulled him out of the room hearing the kid yell, " How would he die?!?"
Marks POV
Jack pulled me out of the school staring me down. "I-" "don't!" He put a finger to my lips. "You can't fucking say things like that Mark!" "I know I'm sorry." "What the hell!" I put my arm around Jacks waist pulling him closer to me. He held his breathe and released after a few seconds. A look of shock filled me face. "What?" Jack seemed guilty of something. "Mark what is it?" I paused before answering. "He fucking touched you didn't he?" Jack looked down at my chest. "Jack?" "Yeah he did okay!" Tears filled my eyes as I pulled him even closer. Not again. God damnit! I pulled up Jacks shirt revealing bruises. A tear rolled down my face as I looked away. "Mark I'm okay." "Take your jacket off.." "Wh..what?" "Jack this has happened before now take your fucking jacket off." He did as told. I scanned his body seeing 7 cuts on his left arm. I fell on the bench outside bawling. Jack sat right by me. "Mark I'm so sorry." Jack cried hard as he did yesterday. I looked up at him seeing his worried face. "Jack it's okay." I tried to calm him down but he only cried harder. "Jack?" His breathing began to quicken and I pulled him to his feet. "Jack?!" He looked as if he couldn't catch his breathe. He slowly tried to sit on the ground falling instead. I kneeled down beside him holding his hand. "Jack?" Jack pulled away from me his eyes wide. He struggled to stand and back up against a wall. When I came near him he backed off the wall keeping distance. His breathing slowed and he collapsed to the ground.
