Save Me Please! A Septiplier Fanfic.

Chapter 4

     Mark looked down at the smaller male pressed up against his chest. He smiled to himself once he realized Jack had fallen asleep, tears staining his pale face. Mark lightly picked Jack up and placed him onto his bed, covering him up and quickly pressed his lips to Jacks forehead. As he turned to leave, he noticed the long scratch peeking from under the ever-present scarf. Mark frowned as he left the room, turning the light off and walking down to the living room, where Felix lay on the couch watching the tv. The Swede glanced up and grinned, patting the spot next to him.
     "Hey Mark. Where'd Jack go? " he asked, still smiling. His smile faded slightly at the grave look pn Mark's face.
    "Upstairs. He's sleeping. " he replied, looking away.
    "Oh. Okay. He in his room or.... " Felix asked, looking curious.
     "Mine. We were talking and he fell asleep. Simple as that. " Felix shrugged,  turning back towards the tv.
     Marzia walked in, sitting next to Felix and leaning into the Swede. His arm lazily wrapped around her. Mark smiled and turned away. In a way, he wished he and Jack could be like that. He knew that'd never happen, there was no way Jack liked him in that way.
     Jack crept in, sitting next to Mark and curling up on the edge of the couch. Mark glanced over worriedly and sighed. The Irishman looked over, his face unusually saddened and almost hollow. Mark scooted over and laid his hand lightly on his friend's shoulder.
     "You alright Sean? " he asked, Jack shaking his head vigorously.
     "No. I feel like shite. " he mumbled into his arm.
     "Could you uh..... Tell me what's wrong buddy? "
     "No. Ye wouldn't understand..... No one would. " he mumbled. Mark sighed again and pulled Jack up. Jack shot him an angry gaze, soon replaced by a sad one.
     "Jack.... Come on. I can tell something's bothering you. You're not that good at hiding stuff. " Jack blushed and buried his head in Mark's shirt once again.
     "I can't tell ye Mark... I just can't. He'll.... " Jack's eyes widened as he quickly shut his mouth, turning away from Mark. All he did was pull Jack closer to his chest.
     Jack abruptly pulled away and quickly raced outside and sat down,  knees pulled up towards his chest. Mark followed him and silently joined him. He smoothly leaned over and poked the scarf around Jack's neck, causing it to fall off onto the deck. Mark speedily grabbed it before the Irishman could grab it back. He nearly gasped at the scratches, scars, marks, and hickeys. Mark lightly dragged his finger along them, Jack wincing slightly and bracing himself for Mark's anger.
     "Sean..... What the hell happened? Who fucking did this to you? " he asked, voice suddenly soft and caring. Jack sniffled and looked down. Mark placed a finger under his chin and made him look up.
     "No-" Jack began, Mark giving him a serious look.
     "Sean.... C'mon, please tell me the truth. "
     "Fine.... Just, don't tell anyone. Okay? " Mark nodded silently, still holding Jack's face up. Jack pulled away hesitantly and began.
     "I-It's Dylan. He's just a little rough, is all. That's it. Nothig wrong...." Mark grimaced and shook his head, the scarf still in his hand.
     "No. This.. " he dragged his finger along a fresher scratch that'd scabbed over "is more than being 'a little rough' Sean. It looks like you got attacked by a bunch of fucking Were-Cats! " he exclaimed, Jack sniffling again. Mark pulled him close and they sat there for a few minutes before he spoke up again.
     "If he's doing something to you, please please please tell me. I can't just stand by and let my best friend be treated like shit. You mean too much to me. " he finished.
     "Do I really mean that much to ye Mark? I didn't think th-.... " he trailed off, sighing. After awhile, Jack sighed once again and looked away.
     "I'll be inside then. " Mark nodded and left silently, dropping the scarf next to Jack. Surprisingly, he didn't grab it immediately. Jack just sat there staring out at the darkness and the skyline illuminated by the sunset.
     "Wh-What happened Mark? " a sleepy Felix asked. Mark just shrugged.
     "Nothing Fe. " Felix raised an eyebrow suspiciously.
     "I-I just... Can't tell you right now ok? " he muttered. Felix shrugged and walked upstairs. Mark sat back down on the couch, thinking about what Jack told him, and trying to figure out what he didn't say.
     Why wouldn't Jack tell me?
     If Dylan really is doing that to him I'll-I'll seriously fucking hurt him.... But I really wish I could help him. What's gonna happen when he goes back to Ireland.... And Dylan? I don't want him to be hurt again, and the fangirls would probably kill me if anything happened. I have to fix this. I just have to.
     Mark sighed heavily as he left the couch and walked upstairs, pausing at the door. Jack still st there, silhouetted against the dying light of the sun. He opened the screen and peeked out.
     "You coming in soon Sean? " the silent figure only nodded, slowly standing up. Once he came inside, Mark saw the violent shivering.
     "Let's get upstairs then. " Jack nodded and Mark followed him up. He stumbled into his room under the covers. Mark smiled and left to his recording room, where he sat at his computer, turning it on. He scrolled through videos of Jack collabing with Dylan, then introduced as a friend. He even searched the comments for clues of what was really going on. Among the comments of 'this guys is cool', 'I so ship it!', '#Jaylan', and many others (some still attempting to defend Septiishu and Septiplier despite the Jaylan shippers) he found some people seeing a scratch or Jack behaving strangely when Dylan scolded him. He shook his head and sat back in his seat.
     "What the hell is fucking going on? " he asked himself,  shaking his head and getting up. After he turned off the computer, he walked into his room and laid on the bed, moonlight illuminating the clothes laid out on the floor. He tossed and turned fitfully before eventually falling asleep, the clock chiming midnight.
