Scars// Adopted by Markiplier

Lets just try to be happy

We just got back from the hospital, it's been three days since my 'episode' as the doctors like to call it.

I had a really bad panic attack, and I stopped breathing for a while. I don't think I've ever seen Mark so scared, other than that one time.

"Hey." I said as I entered the kitchen. Mark was making some food for dinner.

"Hey!" Mark said in his cheery voice. He's always so positive, how does he do it?
"Watcha making?" I asked as I jumped up on the counter.
"Food." He said grabbing something from the fridge and turning to me, giving a cheeky grin.
"Haha. Very funny." I say sarcastically and grab an apple from the bowl on the island table.
"Don't eat yet, the food will be done in just a bit."
"Okay?"

That's weird, he lets me eat anything before dinner.

"I just... Ugh... The doctors said I need to be a bit more strict on you."

"Fück the doctors."

"Piper..." He said giving me a disappointing look.

"Fine, whatever." I said, dismissing the subject.

Jack had to go back home when I had to go to the hospital, so I didn't get to say bye to him. I'm upset about it, but I'll see him another time. He's like a second dad.

"So, tell me about this Amy girl." I said getting a glass of water.

He smiled.

"She's really weird and goofy, but she's adorable. I really think you'll like her." He said.

"I hope so."

"Happy birthday!" My dad said as he uncovered my eyes and I saw all of the presents on the coffee table.

"Oh my god! Thank you daddy!" I replied as I hugged him.

"Well what are you waiting for? Go open them!" He motioned to the five presents.

My ten year old self squealed and ran to them.

I opened all of them in a matter of ten minutes and we went out to eat afterwards.

That was one of the best moments of my life.

*Two days later*

"Are you ready?" Mark asked as I buckled up.

We were heading to the airport and Im supposed to meet Amy when we land.

"Yea."

"You're not talking much today, what's wrong?" He asked, concern laced in his voice.

I just shrugged.

I feel kind of down today, I don't know what's wrong.

"Well, do you want ice cream? You like ice cream." He said and turned the mirror on me.

I shook my head, I'm not hungry. I haven't been lately, and I haven't been getting much sleep either. Every time I fall asleep I always have a dream of my past life.
