It's Too Late (Septiplier)

32?

Before I start this last "chapter" I wanted to clarify what this chapter is. It's more of a little story afterwards of things that I wanted to write during the story but didn't because there wasn't an appropriate time to do so. I also just wanted to say thank you guys so much for reading and that how many people are reading and how much you guys are immersed in reading this story. So thank you guys and here is the last chapter that I wanted to write for some time now but was avoiding it because I didn't want this story to end.

After Mark and I recovered physically and mentally it was time for us to return to school. I was very nervous about what people would say about us and the whole attempting suicide and kissing on live television thing. I also was worried about what people would point out about my body. This is because Mark convinced me to not wear my signature sweatshirt today and instead wear a regular t-shirt to school.

He said I was super cute with my sweatshirt off and that it doesn't matter what people think, which I want to believe but I can't. After years and years of being bullied about my appearance it's very difficult to think that way. However, Mark said he was going to bring my sweatshirt just in case I got too uncomfortable. So I agreed, and now I wish I hadn't. 

Mark and I were walking side-by-side into school like always but everything felt different. When we walked in, the hallways went practically silent. Their eyes all on us with no one moving or talking until Mark pulled me along because he knows how uncomfortable I get in these situations, not to mention he was also very uncomfortable. 

We made it to our classes without dying and we were left to our own devices in our own classrooms. I sat there in class with my scars open for everyone's eyes and everyone stole a glance once in a while and then whispered to their friend about it. Then the friends would take glance and confirm what the first one saw and with every glance, more and more self-consciousness built up and was weighing me down. 

I sighed and looked at the clock. It's almost lunchtime. 

~Mark~ 

When the bell rang for lunch I sped out of the classroom and went to look for Jack. Eventually I found him running up to me and hugged me. 

"Mark, can I have my sweatshirt now?" 

"Of course!" I got it out of my locker and handed it to him and he slipped it on.

"Sorry Mark, I know you like it better when I have my sweatshirt off." 

"Sean, it doesn't matter to me. I just want to see you get more comfortable in your own skin. And anyways I'm proud you went half the day with it off," I say as I give him a kiss on the cheek. Jack blushes and smiles nervously. I ruffle his hair as I smile back at him.

"You're so cute!" I exclaim as we start walking to the lunchroom. Once we enter, we immediately go to our completely empty table in the back and sit by ourselves and start to enjoy our time together. It wasn't long afterwards when a group of people approached us. It was people I didn't recognize, there were four in all and all were male.

There were three tall and one short. The short one had hair the was died blue on the top and had quite a bit of acne. There was a tall chubby guy with glasses and curly brown hair. There was the tall guy curly reddish-brown hair. And finally there was a tall guy with curly brown hair and was very muscular. They then introduced themselves to us. 

"Hi, I'm Ethan."

"I'm Bob." 

"Hey, I am Wade."

"And I'm Tyler." (I imagined the I'm Tyler from the seven second challenge. Oh god I'm trash. But we already knew that). 

"Oh, uh hi guys." I said, somewhat confused. 

"I know you guys are probably confused," Bob started, "but we saw you guys on the tv the other night and we felt bad about the whole situation."

"Yeah, when we didn't do anything when you guys were getting bullied and seeing you try to attempt suicide," Ethan joined in and pointed at Jack,"we realized we were just as guilty as the ones who bullied you guys." 

"So we came here to apologize," Tyler said, "for our lack of action when we saw it happen in the hallways or heard about rumors and said nothing except pass it along to another string of people." 

"And we hope that you'll forgive us and maybe become friends," Wade spoke up, "you guys seem like awesome people to be around even if we get judged for it." 

I was starting to get teary from how sincere their apology was and I loved it. I looked at Jack and he said nothing but I saw in his eyes as well there were tears there and I patted the table.

"Sit down guys, I think we both want you guys as friends too." 

~Jack~

All through lunch we talked and laughed and joked about everything and I finally felt what everyone says they cherish. Friends. I finally felt like I belonged somewhere and I finally felt true happiness with my boyfriend by my side and friends surrounding me. I took a breath in and smiled the most I think I ever smiled because I finally got everything I ever wanted.

And there we go. I'm crying now. It's over and Jack's so happy! And I hope you are all too. It's sad to see this book go and I honestly don't want it to go but there really isn't anymore to write. So I want to thank you all again for everything. And before I go. I want to tell you all that I love you guys and I want the best for all of you and if you ever feel depressed or gross message me and I will  try my best to answer as quickly as I can and we can talk about everything. So I hope you enjoyed reading this book. I love you all. Bye bye!
