Jack's POV

"Hello?" Silence had fallen upon me. The night seemed to go on forever. The woods had been dense since I left. I swore I could hear voices.
"You'll never make it."
"You failure."
"Kill yourself."
My eyes watered as I fell to my knees. I grabbed my head but all I could feel was raw flesh. A mirror appeared and all I saw was the flesh and blood of a boy. I saw his heart pulse. I saw the blood  run through his veins. His eyes blank and dead.
Loud voices in unison echoed in my ears.
"I never want to see your dumbass again Sean."

I jolted out of bed, scaring the figure that was asleep next to me.
"Hey, you Ok?"
"Urm yeah I guess so." I stared at the mirror in the corner seeing the boy but not all his insides. His eyes were awake and focused. "Bad dream I guess."
"I get those a lot from time to time. I feel like I have PTSD from when my dad died." His eyes went glossy realizing he's probably shared to much with me. I looked at him, the horror in my face lost.
"Hey, you got me to talk to now." I said, trying to comfort the body lying in my bed.
"Same to you." His expression returning to normal.

It was still pitch black outside. The lights were on in the courtyard a while away that slightly made our dorm glow with faint orange light. The crisp LA air filled our room.
Mornings were my favorite things here so far. Besides my roommate that seems to haver just as many problems as me, and I thought that was pretty neat.

He had fallen asleep again giving me time to do whatever. I grabbed his phone and put my number into his contacts. Leaving my name Jack so it seemed I wasn't gay.

As the sun slowly rose from behind the mountains and buildings, the campus rose as well. People left their dorms to go have breakfast or meet up with friends. Friends. That's what I need to get. Friends. I turned over in bed to see Mark, drooling slightly on his pillow.
I got up and shook him gently. He slowly got up, realizing that he should of been up earlier, shot out of bed and pulled some fresh clothes on,grabbed his book bag and left.
He didn't even say goodbye. Oh well, it doesn't matter.

Deep in my mind though, it did matter more than the world. I had to, had to, make him know I was his friend. That I cared. I had to impress him. I needed him.

My classes were boring as always, except for the ones with Mark and Bob. Bob was a funny guy. He had light brown, curly hair and a bright smile. He was always so happy. I wanted to be happy too.

I met up with Mark at lunch, this time e was by himself.
"Hey Mark." He looked up at me tears in his eyes.
"I told them. Now they hate me." He sobbed. I sat down next to him and put my arm around him only to have it shoved away.
"Who hates you and what did you tell them to make them hate you?"
"No, you'll hate me too."
"No I won't, I promise." Putting my hand on my heart.
"I don't know. You really sure?"
"Yes Mark." I said reassuringly.
"I-I-I'm gay." My world froze. I sat there shocked and happy.
"You hate me too don't you? I should of never came to this stupid school anyway." He got up angrily.
"Mark wait!"
"For what you to yell at me? For you to diss me?"
"No"
"Then why?" I was going to tell him. I was so nervous but I hoped I could keep my shit together.
"Because I am too." Tears started to fill my eyes as his face shifted to a shocked face. I broke down, falling to my knees.
Then I felt it. A warm hug. He was crying on the sidewalk next to me.
"We'll get through this." He said it like he knew I was scared. Because in those eyes I could tell he was just as scared as me.

We sat there, embracing each other. People stared at us, some pointed and laughed. Others flipped the bird and spat, but we didn't care. The world was ours. We weren't physically interrupted until a hand appeared on our shoulders.
"What in the world are you boys doing?" It was Mrs. Suzanne.
"Sorry ma'am we were just uh-" Mark stumbled for words.
"In my office, now." She said with a stern look on her face.
I swallowed fearing for the worst.
Shit, I lost my shit.
