Two Kings~Second Book in Septiplier Series

Chapter 5

There is a panic attack in this chapter, so you are warned

Is Wiishu the one texting me?

Marks POV
    Ah, what to wear, what to wear; that is the question. Me and Jack were planning on going out today, and I have yet to decide on an appropriate outfit to wear. We had discussed going to the park, so I assumed to dress casual, but what if there's a surprise Italian restaurant? You may never know. I sighed, scanning through my endless pile of clothes, I finally settled on some denim jeans and a black shirt. Making my way out of Jack and I's room, I focused my attention on the smol bean sitting on the couch. Sneaking up and wrapping my arms around his neck, I rested my head on his shoulder and stayed like that. By doing that, Jack jumped into he air, when he realized it was me he calmed down. Noticing that the phone he had just been on is now off and in his lap, I vaguely asked him what he was doing, suspiciously eyeing his phone.
    "N-nothing!" He responded a bit to quick for comfort, and shot his hands up in the air as defense. His eyes were looking a bit panicky, and thought it best to ask him about it later.
    When Jack stood up, I was finally able to get a good look at what he was going to wear out. Sporting some skinny jeans and a purple sweater, my mind raced to the thought that he was beautiful. You may be saying, well Mark, how can he be wearing a sweater in the summer, aren't you suspicious? Truthfully, no I am not. Although it may be hot, Jack doesn't feel quite comfortable showing his scars yet with short sleeves, and I completely understand. Either way, I do still have weekly checks, where every Monday and Friday I'll check his arms for any signs of his bad habits. Shaking off my thoughts, I noticed Jack was looking a bit uneasy and on edge, which made me concerned. Walking over and wrapping an arm around his waist, I spoke calmly and concernedly in his ear.
    "Hey, are you feeling alright? If you don't want to go out today, that's totally fine with me, we can always go out another-"

    "No no, we can go out, I'm just a bit jumpy today, nothing to worry about." Jack shook his head, but his eyes told me something was off. Not believing his lie, I decided not too push it right now and we'll talk about it later.
    "Alright, if you say so. Off to the park we go!" Jack gave a crooked smile, and we were on our way to the park.

   As the time we were at the park wore on, I noticed more and more of Jacks tendencies. At every sound, he would jump. Every time we walked a couple of feet, he would look around frantically, as if he was searching for someone. Just as I was about to have enough and confront him (with care as my intention, of course) his phone dinged.
    "Jus-just a second Mark!" He then pulled out his phone, and hid it from me. As I watched him stare at his phone, I saw all color from his face drain, as if an Irishman could get any paler.
"Mark, we have to go."

Jacks POV
When my phone dinged, I pulled it out, making sure to avoid Marks line of vision. Cause god forbid it was Wiishu, i didn't want to worry him. Staring at my lock screen, I had two messages from the unknown number, one having an image attached, the other saying, "How cute." Wondering what the photo was of, I opened up the file to find a blurry camera taken photo of Mark and I in the park, with his arm around my waist. That's when I felt a pit of dread form in my stomach, and my entire face flush. Suddenly, I didn't feel to good and decided it was best we get out of here.
"Mark, we have to go." I wasn't giving him an option, I was giving it as a statement. Dragging Mark along as we made our way back across the now getting emptier park, I felt as if a pair of eyes were on us. Bile rising in the back of my throat, I just walked faster and gripped Marks wrist tighter. Through this whole ordeal, Mark has said nothing, which I couldn't decide if that was good or bad. Once we reached the parking lot, what I saw made my hands clammy and my knees weak. Vomit now pooled in the back of my mouth as I stared at the car parked three rows down from ours. A silver Toyota was parked there, and two figures were sitting in the front seats.
"Jack, you don't look too well. I'll drive, you just get in the car." Mark snapped me out of my trance, and I sprinted to the side door to our car, careful not to run to fast because I was dizzy. Throwing myself into the car and buckling, Mark got the message we really had to get home, and he slammed on it. By now, I wasn't breathing properly and my vision was going in and out of focus. My thoughts were going a million miles a minute and I couldn't concentrate. Oh god, she's back. What Am i going to do? Maybe Mark can help me out. No, Mark will only leave me. Tears blurred my sight, but out of the corner of my eye I could see Mark give me a concerned look. Drenched in sweat and almost passing out, I felt the car come to a stop. Knowing we weren't home yet, I started panicking. Oh god, Wiishu is going to get me. She's going to hurt me. I don't know what she wants but it's not good. Marks going to leave me for being stupid oh please Mark no please help Wiishu scared pain help help.
My thoughts were jumbling together and I wasn't sure if I was even awake anymore. Jack. Tears flowed freely and sobs racked my body, occasionally sending me into a coughing fit. Jack! Someone was shaking me, and I tried to see who it was. Unable to wipe the tears from my eyes, Mark, I presumed, did it for me. My trembling body shook in his grasp, and at the moment, he was making it worse.
"M-Mark, please back o-off a little, I need space." Mark nodded in understanding, and just decided on sitting on the grass and holding my hand. I hadn't realized Mark got out of the car and came to my side. Calming down but not all the way, Mark started to sing a song quietly to me.

Darling, come to me
I will sing you a sweet melody
And listen to my lullaby

Where the flowers grow
And we feel alright
The grass between our toes

A place where it's all okay
A place where it's always bright
And I hold you close next to me

So darling, come to me
I will sing you a sweet melody
And you can listen to my lullaby

Mark had stopped singing, and I was down on the ground next to him, hugging him.
"Can I hold you?" Mark asked with caution and care in his voice. That's what I loved about Mark. He knew his limits, and he knows when he should ask to be able to hold someone. Mark knows that touching can make it worse, so he knows to always ask first, which I appreciate immensely.
"Please." I said, holding him tighter. He gently wrapped his arms around me, and I nuzzled my head into the crook of his neck. Neither of us cared that we were still on the ground of the side of the road, we just cared about each other. Soon enough we needed to get home, and Mark kept a hand on my leg the entire ride back. As we got home, it was already dark, and we decided to hit the hay since we had a rough day. While Mark went to go get ready for bed, I told him I would be right in. Grabbing my phone about to put it on the kitchen counter, my breath hitched in my throat.

Aw, little Jacky had a panic attack, how sad.

Yeah, this chapter was shit. You're welcome. Also I didn't grammar check or anything so yeah
