I woke up in the hotel room, it was dark probably early morning.
To my left mark was asleep in a chair his hand held onto mine, his messy hair flopped over his eyes.
He looked so childish, so helpless and pure. I turned over so I could face him properly, there were bags under his eyes and he look disheveled.
"No don't take her away from me."  He mumbled, I frowned before realizing he was asleep still. "Leave her alone I don't want to lose her." His eyes fluttered open as a single tear glided down his cheek.
"Hey there Markimoo, you were just having a bad dream." I smiled brushing away the tear.
"You woke up ! You woke up ! Thank god you woke up." Mark shouted before hugging me.
"What happened ?" I asked nervously.
"You collapsed right in front of me, at first they thought it was just from the pressure of being on stage but we called a medic immediately. He checked up on you and said you had been put in a paralytic state of shock. It comes from being really scared or surprised by something. He told me if you didn't wake up within 24hs you had to be moved into the hospital for monitoring. That was about 16hs ago." He sighed glancing at the clock before rubbing his thumb against the palm of my hand. "What was it that scared you ? Do you remember ?"
"....Jack." I whispered. "Jack is here at the convention 'Antisepticeye' that's what he calls himself, he spoke of himself almost as if there were two Jacks but he had 'gotten rid of my Jack'." I shivered at the thought huddling up to Mark.

"I didn't know he was here I swear, if I had I wouldn't have brought you. I'm so sorry. What did he do to you ?" He frowned looking my face over as if he was searching for the answer to his question in it.

"I think it's just everything all together, Jack and then this girl Melissa I think and apparently her friend is here too. I just wanted to take some time to relax but now I feel like every corner I turn there is a new threat." I muttered silently as if they could hear me.

"Todd told me about them, apparently one of them is bipolar and the other one tends to just follow along with the plans." Mark frowned pulling himself up against the back of the bed.

"And seeing Jack again I just... I loved him Mark I really did and what we have is nice but it doesn't feel the same." I sighed leaning as close to him as I possibly could, his warmth reassuring me.

"I know it won't be like him strait away but we do have a connection there's no denying that. If something really has happened to our Jack maybe we can find out but I don't feel comfortable letting you out of my sight now that we know he is in town. Now it's getting late babe and we have been invited to go to dinner with everyone if you feel up to it ? Jack might be there but I will be there to protect you I promise. And there is no way the girls will be around because the restaurant has been booked up for all of us." He smiled down towards me gently running his hand through my hair with reassurance.

"I feel fine really, I think I just panicked but yes I'm.... I'm starving. Food sounds great to me right now." I giggled as my stomach grumbled to make the point.

"Let's go eat then, before you get so hungry you eat me !" Mark giggled as I showed my teeth and growled slightly. So we got dressed quickly and rushed out to grab food.
