A day later... Everyone has arrived.

     Jack grumbled when he felt a hand shaking him awake.
     "I don't wanna get up..." He mumbled into his pillow. The person,  however, just continued shaking him.
     "C'mon Jackaboy.  We need to get up,  the others are ready to go.". Jack recognized Mark's deep voice and slowly rolled out of bed, reaching around half-blindly for clothing. Mark chuckled and walked out, leaving Jack to get himself dressed.
     Jack walked down the stairs to find everyone dressed and waiting. He blushed red with embarrassment and scurried out to the van. The others piled in, Mark jumping into the driver's seat and pulling out of his driveway.
     In the front sat Mark and Jack, in the middle section of the van Bob, Wade, Matt, and Ryan. Molly and Mandy had decided to stay at home. Marzia was occupying the back along with Dan, Phil, and Felix. The ride to Disney was loud and chaotic. Jack stared out at the passing cityscape, Mark occasionally throwing him a worried glance before focusing on the road again.
     Jack looked up and grinned excitedly as they pulled into a parking space and began piling out.

I've never been to Disney,  so I'm sorry if it's not accurate.

     Jack waited for the rest of the group, Mark smiling and walking nearly as fast as his crush. Felix ran up, slightly slowed down as he was giving Marzia a piggyback ride. Marzia was giggling as she looked back at the rest of her friends struggling to catch up.
     The group meandered through Disney, Jack pulling Mark onto many of the rides. Even though Jack was acting happy and cheery, Mark noticed something different with his best friend. The group managed to ride most of the rides by the end of the day. But there was one tall roller coaster that Jack seemed extremely apprehensive to get on.
     "Mark.  No. No fooking way. ". Jack whispered, a terrified look on his face.
     "C'mon Jackaboy! Trust me. ". Mark pleaded, widening his eyes.
     "Fine I guess... If I fookin die, it's yer fault Mark. ". The Irishman muttered. Mark grinned and dragged him onto the front seat of the coaster.
     Jack sat next to Mark and gripped onto the safety bar in front of him as the car began moving. Mark chuckled again and cheered loudly, others giving him strange looks. As they reached the first hill, Jack screamed and closed his eyes shut. By the end of the ride, Jack was grasping Mark's arm and screaming quietly.
     "Jack. Jack, the rides over now. You can let go now buddy. ". Mark told the Irishman, who quickly let go, blushing red. They exited and rejoined the group, Mark sneaking up behind Phil and stealing a piece of cotton candy. Felix laughed as Phil pulled the cone away from him. Dan handed both Mark and Jack their own cotton candies and the large group began roaming again. Jack giggled as he ate the cotton candy.
     "Mark, you've got a blue face by now. ". Jack pointed out, nearly poking Mark in the face. Mark smirked and pulled some of Jack's cotton candy, sticking it on his face as a mock mustache.
    "I'm Wiillford Waarfstache. ". Mark said, twirling the 'warfstache' on his finger causing Jack to burst into laughter. Jack quickly made his own 'warfstache' and began mocking Mark's Wilford Warfstache voice. Felix smiled knowingly before being pulled aside by Marzia.
     "You see it too don't you Fe? ". Marzia asked, whispering so that the others wouldn't hear her.
     "What? Them? ". Marzia nodded exasperatedly and sighed.
     "Yes Fe. Them. Mark and Jack, who else? ". Felix glanced back at them and sighed.
     "They've always acted like that... ". He muttered.
     "But... Mark's acting almost, well, protective towards Jack. As if something's wrong. ". She said, Felix nodding in agreement.
     "If something is wrong, Mark'll find out what it is. He'll fix it, I'm not really worried. ". Felix said, Marzia smiled and they quietly rejoined their group. Mark had sidled closer to Jack, giving him a concerned look. Felix noticed a strange scratch peeking out from the scarf Jack was nearly always wearing. He scrunched his eyebrows together as he turned around, shrugging. They continued through the park, riding even more rides.
     Jack climbed back into the van, his scarf sliding down his neck. When they got out, Mark noticed a long scratch on Jack's neck. His fists clenched and he glared at everyone as they walked in. He glanced over at Jack who walked towards his room, head down and scarf pulled back up. His gaze softened as the Irishman sighed and was soon hidden from view. Mark raced up the stairs and pulled up Jack's YouTube page. He watched and rewatched videos, noticing how in every single one of them Jack seemed less chipper than usual. Some videos that he'd collabed with Dylan, then introduced as a 'friend' he was acting almost scared. All of the videos where Jack wasn't acting like himself, were all posted after the last PAX. Something happened after..... But what? 
     He spun around when he heard his door creak, quickly turning his computer off. Jack smiled shakily and slumped down onto Mark's bed. Mark walked over hesitantly and sat next to his friend, watching him worriedly.
     "You alright Jack? ". Jack only nodded and looked down at the floorboards, twiddling his thumbs.
    "Yep. ". Jack responded, his voice unusually high. Mark raised his eyebrow suspiciously.
     "Jack..... ".
     "I just... I don't know. Not really lookin forward te going back home. ". He said, frowning. Mark placed his arm lightly around Jack's shoulder, Jack melting into Mark's side. His shoulders shook violently with sobs, Mark pulling him closer. They sat there for awhile, Jack eventually calming down but still grasping Mark's shirt tightly.
     "S-Sorry Maerk. ". Jack whispered, his accent growing stronger.  Mark shook his head and held Jack closer. He knew he shouldn't be this close to Jack. It wasn't normal. It definitely wasn't what he should do. Hell, Jack had a boyfriend! But he knew that Jack needed to tell him something but what it was, he couldn't guess. In that moment, Jack pressed close to his chest still crying, he promised himself that he'd find out what was going on with Jack and Dylan and fix the problem.

Hey guys! I finally updated and I'm so happy about that. The story is getting pretty exciting.... Tune in next update to find out if Mark will find out what Dylan is doing to Jackaboy!
