Troubles Through Time {Septiplier}

Chapter 6: Where It All Happened

Jack say on the couch, it was late on a Saturday night. He put he girls to sleep, and finally had some time to himself. Though he was a complete wreck.

He looked unhealthy from the lack of sleep he was getting. He felt too sick to eat, and he still had to take care of his girls. He was doing it all alone.

Mark left, and not like an hour ago. Like a few days ago. He hasn't come back. Jack has tried his best to get it off his mind, but it was so difficult.

Half asleep on the couch, Jack heard the doorknob shake. He woke up and heard a key unlock it. The door opened and Jack sprung to his feet.

Mark was at the door, he hoped to be quiet and not wake up Jack or the girls, but he didn't know Jack was still awake.

"Mark?" Jack asked, tired look had no effect on Mark.

"Uh.. Sean.."

"Mark what right do you think you have to come back into this house?" Jacks heartbroken voice whispers in the house.

"It's.. my house?" Mark shrugs.

"Your brother told me where you've been-" Jack starts.

"Jack don't believe-"

"SHUT UP!" Jack screams. Tears start pouring down his face. "..just shut up. I knew I'd never be enough for you. You want someone else again. I don't want to be in your life if you don't want me in yours."

He left Mark speechless for a moment, but only for a moment. "What the hell? Are you serious? My brother doesn't know what I've been doing and you don't either! I haven't been going out with anyone else."

Jack looks at him with an angry , yet broken face. "You're such a fucking liar, Mark. You called me while you were in the middle of sex with her. I know damn well what happened."

Marks face went pale. He knew the looks in Jack's face, he was going to do something crazy.

"I want a divorce, and I want the kids" Jack turns around to walk to his bed, but Mark stops him.

"Hell no. I'm not letting you take both of those girls."

That broke Jack. That showed he didn't care about their marriage, only a kid.

"Daddy..."

Both fathers heads spun to the little Runa, crying in her doorway. Mark stepped closer and Runa got more scared. He dared not to take another step.

"Are you brainwashing my kids too?" Mark said before he walked off.

"Rune, baby girl come here." Jack picked up his daughter, "Is your sister awake?"

"No.. I don't think so" she sniffled. "I tried to wake her up but she stayed asweep."

Mark headed up the stairs and Jack knew what he was doing. He wasn't going to their room to claim his things. He was getting Elise.

"Runa, are you tired baby?" Jack asks his daughter.

"A wittle.." She rubbed her eyes.

"Alright. Well I want you to lay on the couch and try to sleep. You're gonna sleep in daddy's bed later." He sets her down on the couch and wraps her in a blanket. Marks footsteps could be heard coming back down.

"I'll be back sweetie, get some rest." He kissed her forehead and walked back to Mark. Elise was sound asleep in his arms.

"Mark you can't do this! You can't handle a child on your own you know that!" Jack whisper-yells, to not wake up Elise.

"Neither can you." Mark retorts, "Both of us were clueless on how to raise a child being the youngest. We were doing it together, but you want a divorce." He walks over to the door and opens it.

"Mark you can't leave like this." Tears pour down Jacks face to show his desperation.

"You know I own this house and you don't. I want you out in three days. You can take Runa, or leave her. I am capable or taking care of both girls." Marks works shock and scare Jack.

"Wh-What..?"

"You heard me." Mark goes to walk away but Jack stops him. Jack grabs his arm and smacks him across the face.

"Knock some sense into yourself." Jack pulls his phone out. "I can smell the alcohol in your breath even after you weren't supposed to drink any. I'm calling an uber to take you to your brothers house. I'll pay and let him know what happened. You may be stupid but I'm not so stupid to let something bad happen to you."

Marks eyes stare at Jack. Drunk him wants to say something stupid, but the sober part of his brain is holding it back inside.

An uber is called for Mark and Elise. That is the last time the girls will see each other.
