Lost

Life Without You

A/N k hey guys... so I'll try to update every other day, even with school, because I can write in school! So expect chapters on Thursday and Saturday ... and eventually a new book!
                    (Jacks P.O.V.)
I woke up extra early today, no reason at all. I got out of bed and checked my phone and saw a text from mark.
Mark: Good morning! I'm not going to school today... I'm not doing the greatest today... sorry.
Me: oh well it will be different without my only friend!!!
I set my phone back down and went to shower. When I got out I fixed my hair and slipped some blue jeans and a black t-shirt. I grabbed my phone and went down stairs. I was like 40 minuets early to leave, so I decided to actually eat breakfast. My mom was still asleep, so I made some for her too! While running out the door I shoved the rest of my French toast into my mouth. I got to school and saw a guy punching this scrawny guy. I walk over and tap him on the shoulder. When he turned around, my fist met his face. He fell on the floor. I picked up the small beat up kid and took him to the nurse.
"What's your name?" I ask him, starting a conversation.
"Felix... yours?" He asked, tears brimming in his eyes.
"Jack... hey your in my music class!" I say placing my hand on his shoulder.
"Yeah I guess we are. Do you know Mark?" He asks unsure about what he just said.
"Ya I do, he is like my only friend... why?" I reply confused.
"He's my ex... and I just want to say... if he told you anything bad about me, it's probably true... I was a jerk. When you see him next, tell him I'm sorry, and that I hope we can still be friends." He says. "I will, don't worry... who was that guy that was beating you up? I'll kick his ass if you need me to!"
"Oh him, that's Ken... he just thinks he's the king of the world... heh! I was supposed to pay him for some reason, but I chose not to." He said
"Oh... well then I can help you whenever you need... you go into the nurse and get better " I say with a half smile.
"Thanks Jack!" He smiles back
"Your welcome!"
I get back to class and start...
"Jack... hey Jack..." I lift my head off my desk in response. A girl is looking at me, "Do you know what this means?"
She pointed to a problem on her math homework. "Uh no, sorry." I say.
"Its ok." She turns the other way and asks another person. I look up and see the clock 2:38. 'Two minutes until class is out'  *bong bong bong* I rush out of the door and to my car. The parking lot is packed today... I don't even know how I'll get out of here. I finally get out, and get home. I run up the stairs and into my room. I plop on my bed, and text mark.
Me: Hey, are you ok now? Do you need to talk?
It took a while until Mark replied...
I felt my phone vibrate, and I checked it....
Mark: I'm still not doing the greatest... I don't know if I want to talk about it though...
Me: are you sure, I am here for you. Oh and Felix said that he was sorry, and he still wants to be friends!
Mark: Really? That doesn't sound like him... but that's good, because I want to still be friends with him.
Me: Well I'm gonna go, call me later! Ok?
Mark: ok! Sounds good, see ya later. I'll talk about what's going on ok?
Me: Alright! Bye!
Mark: Buh-Buy!!!
I went to the bathroom and looked in the mirror... I look like death himself! I need sleep bad. I walk back into my bedroom, I lay down on my bed and put my earbuds. Taping my foot to the beat, I slowly fall into a sleep.
*Bzzz Bzzz Bzzz* I am awoken out of a deep sleep from my phone vibrating in my pocket... I pulled out my earbuds and placed them on my bed beside me.
I answer the phone. "Hello?" I say, I'm glad to talk to Mark! "Hi Jack..." his voice is raspy  and shaky. "Mark what's wrong?" I ask worriedly. "I am so unbelievably scared... my life is falling apart, and I don't know what to do to stop it." He said shakily.
"Mark just calm down.... it's ok, you need to understand that you are ok. Alright?" I say... trying to calm him down. "I need someone to vent to, my dad died... he had cancer and died... my mom just kicked me out of the house, and I don't know what to do!" He started crying...
"Oh Mark!!! I'm so so terribly sorry... where do you live. I'll come get you. Ok?"  I am now worried about him.
(Not his real address)
"Ok... I love at 2235 Poagie Ave." he said worriedly.
" I'm on my way... I'll be there in about five minuets. Ok?" Ok as I'm running out the door.
"Ok... I'll see you in a minute." He said
I got the keys and started the car. I sped to marks house, lucky to not get pulled over. I shoot a quick text to Mark.
Me: I'm here...
Mark: I'm coming out...
Mark runs out the door, tears streaming down his face. He was pulling a suitcase behind him. I open up the door for him and let him sit down. He throws his suitcase in the back. I drove back to my house...
"Mark? Are you going to be ok?" I am trying my best to keep the silence to a minimum.
"I don't know Jack... I just really need to get away from this town. Too many memories here... bad memories. I need to leave for a weekend." He said, voice still shaky.
"I can take you to Ireland with me for spring break with me next week. Do you want to go?" I ask hoping he says yes.
"You would do that for me? I would love to... I just need to leave this place." He said, holding back tears.
"It's my pleasure.... you are one of my only friends... and I don't want you in pain. Because to be honest... I don't know what I would do without you."
I say trying not act weird.
"Thank you jack.... ju—just thank you..." he leaned over and hugged me.
"Your welcome...I have an extra mattress that I can bring up for you."
I say... walking into the basement.
"Yeah... do you need help?" He asks.
"No I got it, you need sleep... go upstairs, first room to the left." I cary the mattress upstairs and set it on the floor. I grab some blankets and make the bed for him... I look at Mark, who is asleep on my bed, so I get on the mattress and drift off into a deep sleep.

A/N: 1202 words!!! Great! TBH I suck at writing, but it's one of my favorite things... so yeah... there will be two more chapters up on Saturday.
