I Wouldn't Do That, If I Were You

Chapter 35- Lonely

Mark's POV

~1 year later~

I wake up to the sound of my phone going off. I quickly reach for it, seeing who it could be. I see that it's Tyler, and my perkiness dims a little.

Jack and I haven't talked since he left a year ago for his family emergency. I still don't even know what happened. I've tried texting and calling him, but he doesn't answer. We haven't even done a collab together. I know he's okay though  because he's been making videos.

Every night I've been crying. Not just because of the fact Jack is gone, but because he won't talk to me. All of my friends have noticed something is wrong, I just won't say anything. My community has noticed too, but I say I'm fine and that I'm just tired. Not entirely false anyway. The community doesn't believe me though, and neither do my friends. I mean, I still talk to them and am happy to be around them, I just wish Jack would call or text me back.

Hey Mark, I'm at the airport. Can you come pick me up?

I send him a quick reply and get dressed. Tyler is moving here and I'm happy about it. I may not seem like it, but I am. I grab my keys and walk out the door.

~ 5 minutes later~

I get to the airport an look for Tyler. I see him wave at me, so I walk over to him. Then he hugs me.

"Hey Mark."

"Hey Tyler. What's with all the hugs from everybody?" I slightly chuckle.

"We know you're having a hard time Mark. Everyone can see it."

I look down at the ground, not really responding.

"So, uh, ready to go?"

"Yeah."

He grabs his bags and heads out the exit. I follow close behind. I point to my car and he puts his luggage in the back. I get in and start the car, Tyler getting in right after me. Then we head to my house.

~5 minutes later~

We get the house, and Tyler got out and got his luggage. I'm just sitting in the drivers seat.

"Hey Mark, you coming?"

"Uh yeah. I'll be in in a second."

I could see the worry in his eyes just before he went into the house. I sat just there with my hands on the wheel. I started thinking about all the times me and Jack had in this car, and I started crying. I can't be or go anywhere anymore without thinking about Jack. Everything reminds me of him. I put my hands up to my face and just let the tears fall. I had to record in a little bit, but fuck it. I don't care.

After what I think is two minutes, I finally stop and go inside. Tyler is right there at the front door. He gives me a hug as soon as I walk in.

"You were out there for ten minutes. I was starting to get worried."

Ten minutes? How? It only seemed like two.

"I'm sorry. I thought it wad only like two. I didn't mean to worry you."

"It's okay Mark. Come on, let's go play some games. Maybe it'll cheer you up."

"I'll record them too. I haven't recorded yet today."

We smiled at each other and headed off to the recording room.

A/N another chapter. Hope it's okay. I kinda ran out of ideas for this one to be honest. Sorry if it's not good. Also, the chapters after this might not be very long. Stay awesome everyone ☺
