-_Chapter Seven_-

Chapter Seven (Jack's POV)

I looked around the room for the remote. Yes, I already lost it. When I was checking under my bed, I heard the man on the TV say a name that I never thought he would say.

Mark Edward Fischbach.

I immediately jerked up and ran over to the TV to turn it up.

"A crash has just occured. A male named Mark Edward Fischbach was the one who was in the vehicle when the crash happened. The vehicle that he was driving in is badly damaged." The man said as the TV showed a picture of the car.

Oh god. It did look bad...

"News has came in. The victim is alive, but barely. They rushed him into the hospital right now. They say that he banged his head on the steering wheel when he crashed, causing him to have a concussion. Surprisingly, that was the only real damage that happened to him. He has a couple of bruises and cuts, but nothing too bad."

I gasped, tears starting to form in my eyes. The crash was because of me...Because I suggested to take a break from him.

I rushed out of my hotel room, grabbing my things and returning the key to my room. I started speed walking towards Mark's house. The door was unlocked so I went inside. I saw Felix there, crying. He turned to me and ran over to me, hugging me tightly.

"I-I'm so sorry, Sean! I t-tried to stop him, but I...I failed!"

I started to cry, only a little because I wanted to be strong for Mark. "I-It's actually me own fault...I was t'e one who even suggested t'e break in t'e first place..."

Felix continued to hug me. "I know you liked him, Sean. It must be hard to see the one you love get hurt."

I only nodded, sniffing. "Hey Fe, do ye want t' come to t'e hospital wit' me?"

"Of course. Let's take my car."

Felix walked outside, taking out his car keys. He must have gotten his car before he came to Mark's house. Felix got into the driver's seat as I climbed into the passenger's seat. He started the car and started to drive, going fast, but not too fast.

When we arrived at the hospital, me and Felix rushed inside. We both ran up to the receptionist's desk and the lady looked up at us.

"We're here to see Mark Edward Fischbach." I said, trying to be calm.

"And who are you two? Are you family, friends...?"

I was about to speak, but Felix spoke before I could. "He's his boyfriend, I'm his friend."

I nodded in agreement. She stared at us for a bit before saying, "He's in room 163. Make sure to be careful, he can't handle loud noises."

"Okay." Felix and I said at the same time and ran to the elevator. Felix pressed the '1' button. We rode the elevator in silence before we heard a dinging sound.

"Ye can see him first." I said to Felix. He was about to refuse, but I shushed him.

I sat down in one of the chairs in- what looked like- a waiting room. 10 minutes later, Felix walked into the waiting room. "You can go now."

I stood up and walked to Mark's hospital room. When I saw him, my heart jumped. He looked fine, except he had a gash on his head that was partially hidden with his hair. He had cuts and bruises, like the TV man had said. Mark turned his head, just realizing I was there.

I smiled sadly at him and sat in the hospital chair beside him. After a moment of silence, I spoke.

"I'm so sorry Mark..."

"It's okay." Mark replied, smiling lightly. His voice was kind of raspy, but I guess he didn't care.

"It's all my fault..."

"No, don't jump to conclusions like that. I overthought about it."

I might as well admit my feelings to him so I could relieve some of my stress.

"I was worried 'bout ye. I still am." I started, "I care about ye, Mark. Don't do somethin' stupid because o' me."

Mark was silent, looking away with slight guilt.

So I continued, "I would never want something to happen t' ye. I...I love ye, Mark. More than a friend."

Mark's eyes widened slightly, "Really?"

I nodded.

He smiled, "Well, I love you too."

Mark...loves me...?

"Now come here. I have to tell you something." He whispered, motioning for me to come close.

I stood up and walked over to Mark, leaning down to him. Before I could do anything else, he kissed me.

I was slightly startled but immediately kissed back.
