"So," Jack started. "Do you want to talk about earlier?" Mark answered immediately, "No." Maybe he said it too harshly. "But, we need to talk. We can't-" "I said no and that's it." Mark cut him off, earning a worried Jack. "Mark, are you okey?" Jack asked, gently placing a hand on Mark's shoulder. Mark sighed. "No. I'm not okey! I want to get out of here! I miss everyone so badly. I miss my mom, do you even know how does it feel to not see the people you love and care about? I really want to see my family!"

Jack removed his hand from Mark's shoulder. "Well, I do know how it feels when you lose the people you love and care about, if that counts." He sighed, a few little tears about to fall from his blue eyes. Mark doesn't know how does it feel to be unwanted in your own family, or when your amazing step parents to die when you're young. Mark doesn't how how does it feel to be alone in the world, with no one who cares about you, and no one you care about. Jack sniffed, a couple of tears already falling.

"I.. I'm so sorry Jack.. I wasn't thinking.." Mark said regretfully, raising his hand to wipe Jack's tears. "It's okey, I guess. You don't know how it feels, and I don't wish you would. I'm just.. Alone." Jack sighed, sniffing one last time. "Come on, you're not alone. You have friends. They may not be with you all the time, but focus on the good times when you are with them." Mark smiled comfortingly. Jack looked down, not wanting Mark to see the tears keep falling. "Yeah, I guess so. Leave it, let's just go to sleep, I'm really tired now."

Jack woke up again in Mark's arms, but this time he didn't jump. Instead, he just slipped out of them and went to the café and get some coffee. Jack was still upset from before, the subject just won't get out of his head, he wasn't surprised though, last time he thought about it he cried whenever someone wasn't near him. Sure, that happened long ago, but he won't stop thinking about his parents, step parents, and the entire situation. Jack wondered how his brothers or sisters look like, and if he'll ever get to meet up with them sometime.

Although, he doupt they would want that. They're probably like his real parents; cruel, selfish people that wouldn't care about the shit that happens in their brother's life. Maybe they thought he was dead? Or maybe they didn't even know he exists. He didn't know. Jack wasn't entirely sure he wanted to meet his siblings either, he was scared of their reaction, he was scared of his reaction too. Maybe he thinks too much, but he couldn't help himself. He was curious, and he has all the rights to be. He was so deep in thought he didn't notice Mark.

"Hey, you woke up early." Mark smiled, covering Jack with the blanket he brought, noticing how cold Jack was. Jack didn't stop his previous actions, which were just staring at his coffee and thinking, but let out a small "Mhm" And sipped from his coffee. "Are you okey? You look extremely interested in your coffee for some reason." Mark asked as he got himself a coffee too. "I'm fine." Jack said quietly, still not looking up. "Did I do something that upset you?" Mark asked, confused. "No, you're fine." Jack answered. That's how all of their conversation went until Mark gave up.

Jack was quite the whole day, he even decided to read a book at one point of the day, which was unlike him to do. Mark was still confused about Jack's behavior, but he didn't ask about it. He doesn't want to harm Jack in any way. Jack actually tried to keep his thoughts from his family, and he partially succeeded, but sometimes he read something that makes him think about them, and his mind drifts off to the subject again. They both went to sleep at the end of the day, still not saying a single thing.

~•~°~•~°~•~°~•~

They were woken up by the same familiar ringtone of an incoming Skype call. "Damn you, Dan and Phil.." Jack heard Mark murmur before they both got up from the comfortable couch to answer Dan and Phil. What they didn't expect was to see a girl with a short brown hair (weirdly similar to Jack's), painted in purple at the edges. Mark noticed her eyes are almost as blue as Jack's, but hers are a little bit green compare to Jack's. She looked at them both, looking like she's trying to figure something out before shaking her head and sighing.

"Okey, I can see it in your eyes. You, the one with the green hair, are Sean right?" She has an Irish accent too, but her accent was a bit thicker than Jack's. Jack nodded, confused. "Who's asking?" Mark (who looked a bit defensive) asked. "Oh, I'm sorry, I'm Ciara. You're Mark right? I didn't think you'd be Japanese." She said as she looked at Mark's side. "Korean, not so close." He said, not trusting the person he sees. "Let's get to the point, what do you want?" Jack said, finally deciding to speak up.

"I wanted to know my little brother." Ciara said, she sounds excited. Jack looked like someone just threw a ball at his face. "Your.. Little brother? You mean me?" He asked quietly. Mark put a hand behind Jack's back out of the camera sight to relax him, and Jack was greatful to have Mark near him at the moment. "No I mean the invisible man behind you. Yes I mean you!" She had the same humour as Jack. "A-Are you serious? How did you find me?" Jack asked, suspicious. Ciara smiled brightly at her brother's confusion.

"I'm now with your other siblings at a hotel outside of LA. I searched your name in the name list of this school because that's the only high school I saw in LA. I tried calling the principal to ask for a way to find you because that's the first number I saw, but I was answered by a boy with a British accent. I think his name was Dan. He told me about why you guys are in the school and how to contact with you, and here I am!" Jack took a moment to take it all in. If this girl is saying the truth, she's actually his sister.

"How could I know you're really my sister? Do you have a proof?" He asked, trying to stay strong and not break down. This could really be his sister. Jack held onto Mark tightly, not wanting to leave the only thing that helps him stay strong. "I was expecting you to ask that. Look at your wrist, you should find a weird birth mark. We were all born with it." The camera moved a bit, showing three more people with their wrists showed. Jack could see the same mark on their wrists, the same mark he has too.

"You.. You're my brothers and sisters.." Jack almost whispered and looked down, a few tears falling from the stress. Mark gently wiped them away, hoping Jack's siblings wouldn't mind. "Why did you decide to finally find me? And why now?" Jack asked, determined to know if his siblings are just as he thought. "Ma and dad won't tell us a thing about you. Once it slipped out you're in LA, we met up and found the closest flight. I'm sorry we haven't came sooner." Ciara said sympathetically. "As soon as this storm is over, we're going to see you, okey?"

Jack nodded, and with that the call ended. As soon as he heard the sound of the end, he fell in Mark's arms and broke down with tears. Mark drew circles on his back as he kept crying  and sobbing. As soon as the crying died down, Jack started laughing. "Jack.. Are you okey?" Mark asked, concerned. Jack chuckled. "I couldn't be happier Mark." He let out a happy sigh and leaned against Mark, relaxing. "For the first time in my life, I have an actual family."
