"... Mark. Leave that alone." Wade told me, grabbing Jack's bags and taking them to his car so I didn't have to.
Jack looked over at me sighed. He hasn't spoke to me much since I'd decided to get him out of here. It's been two days since I told him he had to leave. Ever since, the two of us hasn't exactly been the same.
He would look at me from across the room, staring at me in silence. He would sneak into my room to just watch over me and make sure I was fine. I cant tell you how often I woke up in the wee hours of the morning to see him sitting in the chair across the room, sleeping like a baby. He was protective. He was worried. I didn't know wether to be creeped out or thankful. So I was both.
Now, he was looking at me with a worried glance.
"Mark... If you have someone ta be here with ya, then someone can look aft'r you and make sure yer okay. Yer goin' to go mad by yerself!" Jack finally said. "I'm dangerous. You don't want to be around me." I told him, not bothering to look at him.
"Yer dangerous because you don' have anyone to keep you in check and make sure yer okay! You've gotten lonely, Mark. No one ta check ya. No one ta make sure yer okay! I wan' ta help ya Mark. Yer jus' not lettin' me." He said, exasperated with me as he pleaded.
"I'm sorry, Jack. I just... Can't." I sighed. I still didn't look at him. I didn't want to. I knew him. He was disappointed in me.
I couldn't bare to look at him and his disappointed expression. The air was heavy as he stared at me in silence and I shifted my weight uncomfortably.
"There's no stoppin' ya or changin' yer mind, is there lad?" Jack asked. I sighed. "Nope." I told him. My heart weighed heavy and I felt unending sadness as he put a hand on my shoulder.
"I'm comin' back to check on ya tomorrow." He said, wrapping me into a hug. I almost wanted to break down and cry my eyes out then and there, burying my head into his shoulder as I savored his warmth. I wanted to do it. I would have. However, I just wouldn't allow myself. I'm a coward.
"Come on guys. I know your going to miss each other, but I've got places to be. Besides, your bromance is killing me." Wade joked lightly. Jack pulled away from the hug and I missed the brotherly feeling immediately. I was cold now. Lonely.
"Take care, lad." Jack said softly, giving me a gentle stare. I nodded and a lump formed in my throat. I barely got the words out of my mouth: "You too".
I was sad to see him get in the blue car, looking at me out the window with a sad expression. He waved, pressing his hand against the glass as the car pulled up and I softly waved back. It was almost like a movie scene.
The scene where best friends are separated after months of being apart. Everyone is sad. Everyone is disappointed. The two wave goodbye with heavy hearts and then the movie cuts to the expressions of the two after they'd left each other's sight. It was terrible.
Sighing, I went back inside. "Chica!" I call out weakly as I sat on the couch. She ran into the room immediately. I petted her golden fur. She licked my face. We sat with each other for a minute, her nuzzled up to me and my fingers running through her fur.
The last thing I know is that I'm asleep on the couch, with a dog in my arms.
•••
Birds. That was the first sound I heard. The song of birds. Chirping. Crickets and frogs as well.
Now the wind. The wind rustling through the trees. A cool blast of air hit me in the face and I smiled slightly. The air felt slightly humid.
