Marks pov.

After the day jack chose to walk to his room, i thought nothing of it until i walked in on him with a razor to his thigh.

"Jack no! Dont you even think of it," he was startled at me coming in so his hand shook and he cried into his hands, dropping the bloody razor, letting it fall to the floor along with himself. I hugged him as tears streamed from his hurt eyes.

Jacks pov

I came home and walked to my room, as soon as i closed the door i burst out into tears, i had so many flashbacks from when my dad raped me,

(TRIGGER)

"Stay still you little shit," his hand pressed firmly over my mouth. I cried in pain as he slapped me for struggling. "You fucking fatass, stop struggling!" After he was done he threw me to the floor and kicked me, i threw up he kicked me that hard. My mum was working for the weekend and i was left in my 'fathers' hands for two days. The next day i got my daily beating and i didnt eat. I was fat. Too fat. Soo, so fat.

(TRIGGER OVER-ISH)

I cried so much. I needed a release. I looked in the mirror at my tears stained eyes, i couldn't look at myself for long. How am I even walking anymore. I grabbed my razor and made 3 lines on my thigh and that's when mark walked in on me.

I bet I looked so disgusting.

He hugged me as I cried. "Shh.shh. it's okay. I love you so much," i sniffled and looked up to him. "I-I didn't mean to," i started to cry again. I could not stop. I was broken.

I have failed.

Mark wrapped me up in his arms as we both cried on the floor. I ran my fingers through my hair and smeared my tears in attempt to clear them. I'm lost. I need to escape. I tried so much to escape and i can't handle it any more. "Mark I need to go,"
"No no stop saying that,"
"I-I need to mark," tears kept streaming down my face as i tried to make him let go. "Jack don't. Please. I love you so much, you don't need to do this,"
"Mark let me go," i could feel my heart break. Our mum's weren't home. I could run. But then again, mark would chase me.

I'll take that chance.

I pushed mark and started to run. He fell backwards and i cried as i left. Goodbye mark. I love you so much. On my way out I left my note on the dinner table.

I ran and ran as i cried. I passed jess on the way. And Tyler.

They don't care.

Just keep running.

And so I did. I ran past the bookshop. I ran pas the loading site where I worked. I just ran. All the way to a bridge. The bridge.
I took in the sight of buildings as i pulled on my hair. Trying to ease myself. I wasn't wearing a hoodie but I didn't care. I couldn't hear anything but my heartbeat and the hustle of voices in a crowd.

Wait.

I ignored it and started to climb over the railings. I stood and looked down.

"Jack... son don't do this," the voice frightened me but I knew it. I turned around to see my boss stood in front of a crowd of familiar faces. My breathing was unsteady. My legs were getting weak. I took a deep breath. I looked back at him.

"W-why the fuck not,"

And i let go. People screamed but then I felt someone grab my arm. My boss had caught me. I struggled and kicked but him and someone else pulled me back over. I lay on the ground crying. My boss held me.
"Fuck you worried me then, ya almost gave me a bloody heart attack" he breathed. Holding a hand to his heart. I couldn't stop crying. The vision of falling wouldn't leave. "Now now kid, yer okay now, I got ya," he picked me up but my knees were weak.
And I then saw a hysterical mark push through the crowd. He hugged me and we were both on our knees. Crying of course.
"Don't you ever do that again." He kissed my head.

Gareth's pov. (His boss)

I saw jack running down the street in hysterics. A young girl was chasing him. I decided to join. When i caught up i was greeted by the sight of the young lad on the edge of a bridge. His arms were cut.
Oh fuck no.
Not today, I am in no mood to let a person die today. I pushed past the crowd and walked away but further.

"Jack... son don't do this," i tried to reason. "Why the fuck not," he let go but I jolted forward and grabbed his arm before he fell. The young girl from before screamed and ran to me to help pull him over. He kicked but I managed to hold him. "

"Fuck you worried me then, ya almost gave me a bloody heart attack" my heart was going to explode. He was in hysterics still. "Now now kid. Yer okay now," i picked him up in a hug and patted his back. That's when another young lad burst through the crowd. I let go of Jack as he bear hugged him. They both fell to their knees.

Signes pov.

I was sat at the shop desk when i saw jack run past crying. I immediately dropped everything and ran after him.

All I remember is some guy catching him and me helping him pull a broken jack over the edge. I stepped back as some lady comforted me. Then I saw who I presume to be mark hugging him.
I didn't even realise that I was crying out loud.

Marks pov.

His note read.

Help.
I'm broken and this is my only way our and I'm taking it. I have hurt myself again. I've done it all again. I love you mark but you must let me go. Goodbye.
I love you to the moon and back.
I will miss you so much.
Goodbye mark.
Goodbye mum.
Goodbye world.

I cried and started to run around town. After a while of frantically searching I saw a crowd. I pushed through and saw him. I hugged my love as we both sunk to our knees.
"Don't ever do that again," i kissed his head.
