He's Mine (Crankiplier fanfic)

Chapter 27

Mark's POV
"Hey blue boy, you good?" I say when I see the look on his face. We can't watch some shows because he kinda has PTSD from the kidnapping. I accidentally put on a horror movie with, well, kidnapping as it's main thing. At first he seemed fine, but when he saw the basement his face went blank. I shut the tv off and call Jack. He doesn't answer. I call Audri instead.

"Hey Mark!" She says quite cheerfully. "Hey you." I say back with a smile playing across my lips. Then I glance at Ethan again who's still just staring at the TV blankly and my smile drops off my face. "Can you and Seán come over?" I ask, "Ethan's having a little trouble with his PTSD again." There's silence on the other end. I thought she hung up or something. "Hello?" I say into the phone. "Oh! Uh yeah. About that...we can't come over." She says and I frown. "Why not?" I ask. "Just because." She says and hangs up.

What the fuck. We really need them right now. I ask Ethan if he wants to go see Jack and Audri. He nods his head and we get in the car. We sit there in silence until we arrive. I knock on the door and Audri opens it. "Oh...uh hi guys. I wasn't expecting you. Umm...come in I guess." We walk in and don't see Jack anywhere.

"Where's Jack?" I ask a little confused. "Oh...err he's in his room. Why don't you two go and knock on the door?" She answers looking a little nervous. Weird..."I think Ethan can stay with you. I'll go get Jack."

While Ethan and Audri are talking, I walk up to Seán's door and knock. No response. "Jack are you in there?" No response again. "Seán?" I say more worried and I put my ear against the door when I get no reply for the third time. I hear muffled sounds...like...Crying?? I say "Jack let me in! I'm worried about you."

Seán's POV
I hear someone knock on the door and a voice. It sounds like Mark. They knock two more times but I ignore them still, crying into my pillow. Why would she do this to me? "Jack let me in! I'm worried about you." I hear Mark say. I groan and get out of bed. When I open the door his face floods with more worry than was already there. "Hey baby are you okay?" he says worried. I shake my head. "What happened?"

I beckon him in and I shut and lock the door again behind him. While I'm explaining everything he's just sitting there listening. I'm telling him detail by detail, especially how hurt me and Felix feel. A few times I can't control myself and I burst out crying like a little baby. He's there to hold me and help me. At the end I ask for his opinion.

"Well honestly..." he says and seems to think for a bit. "If she's making you do this, she's such a bitch. I'm sorry but you shouldn't be with her. Don't let her choose your friends for you." I think I love him...

"But Mark...there's another complication." I say and stare at the bed sheets in front of him. "And what's that?" He asks gently. "I...I think I'm still in love with him." I slowly look up as tears start pouring down my face again.

"Oh Seán...everything's gonna be okay." He pulls me into a hug and starts whispering things like this in my ear. When I finish crying and feel like I can pass out because I'm so tired he says, "Well...I think I need to take Ethan away from her. Before she does something to him." He's leaving?

"Please take me with you. I d-don't want to be here anymore." I say holding back tears at the thought of her abuse. He looks at me and nods his head. "Of course you can come back with me and Ethan!" I gather up my clothes and shove them back in the duffle bag. Mark walks out to talk to Ethan and soon I hear yelling.

I walk into the living room where the door to leave is, and I see Audri in Mark's face. "YOU CAN'T TAKE HIM FROM ME!! HE'S STAYING HERE!!" Mark stares her in the eyes, not too afraid that he looks away. "No. He doesn't want to be here. I'm taking him back to my house and that's his choice." Audri spots me and turns to me. She lunges at me, causing my duffle bag to fly out of my hands and fall to the floor. I fling against the wall and sink to the floor, too dazed to do anything about it.

Soon, Audri is on top of me. "You're staying here." She whispers, almost growls, into my ear. I'm too afraid to move. I just sit there staring into her cold eyes, not daring to move. Then two strong arms wrap around her waist and pull her off of me. "Ethan and Seán! Get to the car!" Mark says holding Audri while she's kicking and screaming. I grab the bag and Ethan opens the door and we run outside to the car. Ethan jumps into the passenger seat and I open the drives door so Mark can get in, just before opening the back door and flinging my duffle bag to the other side of the car and sliding in.

We hear a loud scream and Mark runs out, slamming the front door behind him. He jumps in the car and closes the car door as the house door opens. He doesn't even bother to put on a seat belt and peels out of the driveway. Audri chases us down the road and gives up soon after. "Thank you..." I whisper to Mark and Ethan. "She has no right to treat you like that. I'm glad you're staying with us!" Ethan says smiling into the backseat at me, but it doesn't reach his eyes.
