Experiment with love

Chapter 9

Kathryn's Pov

"Are you hiding something from me?" Malcom spoke lowly, approaching me.  "N-no, of course not sir. Why would I do that?" I moved closer to where I put Jack. "Ok, you were just really early today," I let out air, thinking I had stalled him long enough for the others to get here, if not I text them quickly to get here. Signe entered quickly and walked alongside me, Malcom looked at her. "Oh hi Signe," he waved and continued walking, I could see Signe was getting more nervous with every step we took to the room. I heard the door open and I knew that would be Amy. "Are you ready for your tour around the place?" Malcom asked and Signe looked to  me for an answer, I shrugged. "Y-yeah, that would be great, sir." I held back a laugh at how formal she was and she glared at me. "Ok then, let's get on with it. Kathryn can you make sure that Mark and Jack are ok." I nodded and they started walking.

Mark's Pov

I lay down with that 'thing' injecting stuff into me. I looked at my legs again in disgust (Poor Jack), but also curiosity. How did they manage to do this?

I stared at the ceiling, waiting for Jack, kinda patiently. Did that person lie to me? If not where the fuck is he? I sighed loudly and hit my head lightly on the floor of the car. I thought back to when me and Jack were younger and how everyone was so surprised I could understand him. Sometimes I would just sit and do homework with him.

*Flashback age:10*

"What's this thing you're doing?" He asked, pointing to the maths textbooks on a makeshift desk I made. I knew my dad and the scientists were outside taking notes on our interactions. "It's called homework, we get it to see how well we do in school and extra practise." (Yeah right that's some bullshit) He looked confused. "Why do you do more work when you've basically done that in school." I laughed and he looked at me. "What are you laughing about?" He asked and I calmed down from my laughing fit. "N-Nothing, it's just I heavily agree with you on that one. Homework is such a bore." I flopped my head on the desk. "Well what are you doing for this 'homework'?" He asked curiously. "I'm doing maths but I'm moving onto English soon." I told him and he nodded.

I continued working on homework for the next hour, talking to Jack as I did so.

Age:12

The homework has gradually gotten harder but it's always fun trying to solve them with Jack, my English teacher is so strict and weird at explaining things and it's hard to know what she means half the time she's speaking. That doesn't matter though, dad says I'll be out of school by the time I'm 13 or in S2. (Grade 8 I'm pretty sure tell me if I'm wrong then I'll change it) I had given up on trying to complete the homework and was now just talking to Jack.

*Present time*

I smiled at those memories and looked around to see if Jack was here or anyone at all. I sighed when I realised there wasn't anyone and I was alone. "Hurry up please."

Amy's Pov

I got Kathryn's text and got to work as fast as I could. I pushed the door open and walked calmly inside, much differently thsn how I got to work in the first place. I laughed at the thought but went back to being straight-faced. (Not like my sexuality thoouugghhhh)

I found Kathryn standing outside the camera room/Malcom's office and walked up to her. "Is everything going ok?" I asked because the text she sent to me seemed as if things weren't going to plan. "Not really, Malcom's early and Jack's still here. I don't know what to do." Kathryn spoke rushed, pacing back and forth. "Calm down," I told her, putting my hand on her shoulder. "We'll figure something out, we always do." (Why do I ship this all of a sudden) She nodded and calmed down and we walked to Jack was.
