Off The Coasts Of Ireland (Septiplier)

~ Chapter 27 ~

All that could feebly escape my blubbering mouth were the regretful words I tried to tell Mark as I rubbed a hand rhythmically along his sloping pecs and I blankly stared beyond the lurking rock walls that loomed above me. My life was over now, I can't live without Mark. I'm lost without him... My emotions were as lifeless as Mark's body, I could barely feel a thing, I was lost in my own sickening thoughts on whether or not I should continue to live. His death would be even more painful than my traumas on the old coast, I don't think I could even last a day without him... My mind echoed sufferably as I adjusted my sulking head farther up on Mark's limp chest, and to my surprise, to hear something faint under Mark's shirt.

A heartbeat...? A thought snapped in my head. Immediately, my mind quickly swept away any grieving thoughts and a new flooding of wondrous hope stopped my tears and turned my face from having once a trembling frown to one full of intrigue. Instantly, I raised my head up from his chest and gazed down at him, my puffy red eyes flickered as I intently watched Mark in confusion, can Mark actually be alive? Did I really hear a heartbeat? Or am I just imagining things? I rested a shivering hand onto Mark's chest, a light thump pulsed under his skin. Abruptly, my heart leapt from its moping crevice within me up into my throat as I stared in great suspense, my eyes widened hugely with curious awe. A few moments later, Mark's eyes open drastically and he gasped loudly, coughing weakly as his eyes unconsciously moved around.

"Mark...?" I exhaled startlingly as a smile of joy beamed on my face. Mark's waking up! I could hardly believe my eyes! I tapped his face, prompting his weak gaze to focus. "Mark, are you there?" I waved my hand in front of him and slowly, his eyes snapped up to me and a tender grin rose along his lips, his eyes full of warming love as he gazed caressingly up to me. "J-Jack!" His attention fully clicked to me while his voice strengthened, his eyes were brimming with hapinness. As I gazed into the brown swirling eyes of Mark, I realized just how much I loved them. A few second ago, I thought I'd lost the one person I loved with all my heart, I thought I would never be able to his beautiful soul shine though his eyes and his cheerful smile. Now here I was, looking into the face of who I once thought was dead. My mind buzzed with so many whirling emotions and joyful thoughts that I was having major difficulties trying to straighten them and before I knew it, I could barely contain the tears of joy streaming from my tightly shut eyes. I threw my body helplessly into Mark to embrace him inside a deep hug, wrapping my arms generously around his torso and spiraling my green tail tightly around his weak legs.

"Oh thank God your alive! Oh thank God! Oh Mark I'm so happy! I never want you to do this again!" I stammered as a sobbed over his shoulder, shuddering harshly from the force of emotions spilling from me. "Mark I thought you were dead! I thought I killed you and I would have had to live the rest of my life without you! Oh Mark, I'm sorry you had to do this, I'm sorry for the pain you had to go through! I never wanted you to suffer! Oh, how I hated it when I saw you limply float in the water, I thought you died! Mark I can't live without you, you complete me! Your the other half of me I can't live without! I-" I hardly gave any thought to what I was blubbering pitifully about, most of it sounded like gibberish. Although, I wasn't talking from my mind, I was talking from the heart. After being around Mark for quite some time, I learned that speaking from deep within your heart is where the most beautiful and truthful things are said from, even though it may not be said the clearest.

A gentle hand touched and trailed down my spine carefully, riding along each ridge, causing my back to stop immediately from shaking and switched off my mindless rambling. My breathing rasped from my mouth as a long quiet moment hung in the water between us. Mark's head turned towards my ear. "Hey Jack, look at me." His calm tone whispered in my ear, I reared back and stared attentively into Mark's eyes, finding myself lost in their reassuring glimmer within the dim lighting. "I'm fine, everything's fine!" His bright smile weakly shined as he brushed a lock of my green hair off of my face, I blushed bashfully as my cheeks became tinted red. "Don't worry about it. Jack I-" His sentence stopped unexpectedly when his gaze suddenly hardened with confusion and he peered down at his body in amazment. His eyes grew as his jaw dropped with complete shock.
