Marks pov.

I wake up to my alarm. 6:30 already? Damn. I get up and throw on some jeans, i love my life tbh. I go down stairs after brushing my teeth and hair. But I still can't get jack out of my mind. I wonder if he's gonna be at school today. No homo. I think. ;)

I wake up from my alarm again at 3am. It's pay day (please get the reference) at work so that's good. Once I get there my boss walks up to me. "Hey sean, why don't you take today off, your not in trouble so don't worry,"
"U-um okay then,"

Sean walks up to the workplace and i notice that his arms are bandaged all the way up to his knuckles. Poor kid.
He's been through alot. He's only 16. I walk up to him and tell him to take today off, he just gives me a quiet answer and walks off with a nod.

Well then. I'll just go home and study. I end up just listening to music and crying for about 2 hours before I get up and have a cold shower to get rid of my puffy eyes. I throw on a pair of black unvolentarely ripped skinny jeans and a bring me the horizon t shirt that I got for Christmas. I look in the mirror for a brief moment and see some ugly emo fuck, i have bags under my slightly puffy eyes and my scars run from my wrist to my shoulder. I'm a mess. I trow on a black hoodie and put my ear buds in ready to walk to school. I listen to mcr- give em hell kid as i walk. I'm not going to hide anything today, not my emotions, not my accent, nor my taste in music or style. It will probably make the bullying worse but I honestly don't care at this point. I start to near the school as i take a deep breath. I think I'm ready.

"Aha what the fuck happened to you, you emo or somethin," Tyler said with a harsh push to my shoulder. I just continued to walk. That's when wade came right up to my face. "He asked you a question fag," he knocked my books out of my hands. I scrambled to get them as they walked away laughing, i felt a tear fall down my face. Thats it. I've finally broken.

I start to get closer to the school and I can't seem to make out where jack is. That's until I see a kid get pushed down by Tyler and wade. Yep. That's him. And. He's crying. He never cries, at least from what I've heard. He's wearing all black clothes aswell. He starts to walk to class with his books and I non-creepily follow him. I sit down and place my bag down. He's just crying, it honestly dosent seem like he'll be stopping any time soon. I'll see him at lunch so he has time to compose himself.

At lunch i start to look around for him. That's when I see him being kicked on the floor by Tyler and Wade he's just crying. I rush up to them and I pushed Tyler and randomly hiss at wade which seemed to scare him. I try and help jack up but he flinched with every touch, they've finally broken him. He struggles to compose himself as he wiped his everlasting tears with his shaky hands. There is a bandage around his wrists and knuckles and he seems too skinny. Only now I realise that. He was like this everyday and i never noticed. "Hmf I liked him better when he was quiet," with that Tyler and wade walked off.
"Hey. Jack it's me mark. They're gone now," he looked up at me with his once blue eyes which now standing as a misty grey colour. He jumped towards me and... hugged me. I hugged back. "I-I'm sorry for everything," he sobbed into my shoulder. "Hey, hey its okay. There's no need to apologise," i help him get up and we both walked to the school field to be alone. "I'm a mess. I just can't handle it all. It's just too much. I mean I have two jobs and i can barely afford to live. It's just too much," jack said very quickly. After he put a hand over his mouth. I. What. He's poor?
I'm gonna be on such a big guilt trip after this. He looked at me then held his head in his hands as more tears escaped his eyes.
"I should've never said that, I'm sorry,"
"Hey jack it's fine. Who do you live with, if you don't mind me asking.,"
"M-my ma," he said quietly.
"How's about you and your mother come and live with me and my mum until you get on your feet again," he looked up at me as if what I just said wasn't true. "What? You'd really do that. But what about your mum. It might be too much for her-"
"Jack it'll be fine," he started crying again, but this time he was happy. I smiled as we gazed into each others eyes. And boom. Just like that. Our lips connected. We pulled away and we both laughed as if this was what we've been waiting for.
And it was.
