Everything happened so fast but yet so slow. It felt like ages for the ambulance to get here, but it didn't take long for the sense of wretched horror to kick in.
As the paramedics came rolling in to get Mark, I started walking with them, being that it is my boyfriend. But a strong grip was placed on my shoulder stopping me right in my tracks.
It was the principal.
"Mr. McLoughlin, i'm sorry but you're taking a trip to the office with me." I shrugged my shoulder away, he took his hand off.
"no. i'm not. my boyfriend is currently in a potential comatose state with a critical cranial injury that could be life threatening. he is at this moment bleeding out of his frontal lobe at a rapid and alarming rate and has a chance of dying but what's important to you is giving me one of your mediocre pep talks about harassment. if my boyfriend passes, I at least want to be by his side in his last waking moments rather than in a hell hole being talked to about my temperamental issues. now, if you'll excuse me, I have a ambulance to get into." I storm down the halls catching up with the paramedics and get into the ambulance without looking back.
I sit down and cross my arms over my chest in frustration. everyone is getting on my last nerves today, and i'm clinging to the last string of sanity that I have.
I look over at Mark, I ease up and begin to break down. Tears rushing down my face as if they were waterfalls. I put my hand on his.
"Mark." His head turns slightly, and his eyes open just a little to where I can see his soft chocolate eyes.
"you're going to be okay I promise. I won't let anything happen to you. i'm here." His hand squeezes mine, but weakens and releases his grip, his eyes close, and loses consciousness again.
my phone is blowing up right now. mainly text messages, but then it rings signaling a phone call. I bring it out and see the contact ID.
It was a FaceTime call with Felix. I promptly answer it, they deserve some answers or should be involved in what happened to their friend.
"JACK!"
"Hey guys!" I say wiping my eyes with my sleeves and lightly smiling to my friends.
"Is Mark okay? are you okay?" Ken asks "That ass hat of a principal wouldn't let us go. said he would have us expelled if we left."
"Shit that sucks guys. Mark is slipping in and out, but they're trying to stop the bleeding and make sure he has no fatal injuries. not much can currently be done as we are in an ambulance with limited equipment. but as far as it goes is just that he needs a few stitches, possible concussion but nothing major." I say.
"Jack you would make a badass doctor." Felix says raising his eyebrows. I just roll my eyes and smile.
"Yeah we took care of that bitch Sierra. Cussed her out, yelled a tad. Got our point across. Hopefully now she never messes with us ever again, this whole day got fucked up because of her." Cry said. I sigh.
"Guys. be honest. did Mark seriously date me out of pity?" Everyone got awkwardly silent, avoiding looking at the camera.
"I have to be honest man, yes. He did. BUT. BUT. He felt if he dated you, he would over come his fear. with all the affection and care you've showed him, he fell hard for you. You broke his shell, which is something no one could have ever achieved. Without a doubt he loves you to the moon and back." Danny says ending with a sympathetic look.
"I had a feeling. But I guess he does love me, especially if he was willing to take a blow like this one today for me."
"Sir, we have arrived at the hospital." The paramedics announced from the front seat.
"I've got to go guys, i'll give you some updates." I waved goodbye to my friends and ended the call. I take a breath and exit the ambulance and follow them in.
"I'm sorry, but you'll have to wait here as we run a few standard tests and procedures. We will be sure to update you regularly on his condition." I nod in response. for now I have to play the waiting game in the visitors room and await to hear anything regarding Mark.
The moment I sit down, Mark's mom bursts through the doors scared.
"WHERE IS MY SON. MY SON IS MARK." I bolt to my feet and walk over to her and attempt to calm her down.
"Mrs. Fischbach! Please!" She takes a moment to look at me and gathers herself. She takes a breath.
"What happened." I guide her over to the lounge to explain everything. as I speak, she sits quietly looking at me attentively as I explain everything.
"I remember that Sierra girl. I try my best not to dictate what Mark can and can't do as he deserves his freedom and has he has a brain he can use. she seemed too nice to me, but I never said anything, I didn't want to hurt Mark. and I knew he would continue to date her anyway. When he broke up with her, she went RAMPID. everyday, a new threat. I was relieved when she left. You came along and spiced up our lives." she said with a smile looking at me. "you're such a good boy. you make my boy happy. you helped him."
A doctor enters the room and looks at me.
"Are you Mark's partner? and you must be his mother." He said gesturing to the both of us. We both stand up and walk with him down the halls of the hospital.
"As this young man had stated as he was in the ambulance on his way over, Mark has a large cut on his frontal lobe of his head, he has a concussion, slightly serious as he could have potentially suffered from very slight memory loss. We managed to stop the bleeding and stitched him up to better condition, he is awake right now, a bit in a daze but seems to be handling things okay since he is on some painkillers right now." We stop in front of the entrance way to what I assume to be Mark's room.
Mark's mom looks at me and I look at her. I take a breath and remind myself to keep it together and we both enter in.
There was Mark staring blankly at whatever was playing on the television with a large cut stitched up across his forehead. He looks over and smiles.
"Jack! Mom! hi! I have an injury on my head!" He seemed so proud of it, and I just laugh.
"Dear it's so good to see you're okay." His mom says taking his hand into hers.
"How you feeling?" I ask.
"Higher than a kite with these painkillers, but they help ease the pain. At least I can make sense of what's happening I suppose." He says giggling. "How the hell did this battle scar happen anyway Jack, I can't even remember. It's either I lost that memory or its the painkillers."
"Well in the cafeteria Sierra was talking about how you pity dated me and you got pissed and-"
"Jack wait what? Pity date? I'm as straight as a ruler what the hell are you talking about?" My eyes grow wide and my stomach sinks.
"You're joking right Mark?" He looks at me, and I knew he was serious.
"Jack. I don't swing that way."
"M-mark, were dating. We've been dating for like 9 months now." I say hoping he's not serious and it's just the painkillers.
"What the heck? Mom am I gay? Are you sure you're not on painkillers too Jack?" His mom looks at me, shocked.
"Dear, Jack is your boyfriend. You talk about him all the time and about your relationship." Mark raises a brow and looks at his mom like she's speaking another language.
"But i'm not gay!" He says.
My heart shatters to pieces. My stomach sinks. The tears begin to flow again.
"How can you not remember the person you love? How can you not remember the kisses we shared and the sunsets we watched together? How can you not remember the countless times we've said I love you? PLEASE MARK REMEMBER!" I say with my hands on his shoulders.
"I'm sorry Jack. I don't love you like that." I sit back, crying harder than I ever have before.
Is this heartbreak? It hurts, and no medication can ever stop this pain. Being told by your own boyfriend to your face, the lies, that he doesn't love you.
My very first heartbreak, and it ends like this.
