Chapter 14 : Blury lines

I finally arrived at the hotel and I shoved some money at the driver before running inside tears streaming down my face. The room key clamped tightly in my fist. The elevator seemed to be moving so much slower than usual it's cheap aired music sending chills down my spine as it crackled and broke.

I finally came to a stop as the metal doors seemingly took forever to open and I stumbled onto our floor, fumbling with the key in my hands until I got through and into the room closing the door behind me.

I slid down it covering my face with my hands as if trying to hold in the pools of tears that I was creating. Mark knew about Anti all along and didn't tell me.

Was Mark just lying to me the whole time, how could he. And was Jack telling the truth ? Did he really have those issues, does that mean he technically didn't do anything wrong or....

It seemed like an age of thinking before I heard a knock on the door, Mark called out to me. I think he was saying my name but I refused to budge. The door was locked so he couldn't come in anyways, I made the slow crawl to the bed lifting myself into its warmth and as the thoughts threatened to overcome me I drifted into a restless sleep.

My sleep was full of hysterical Anti, and a new figure it was Mark but not really. Both danced around me speaking to eachother whispering to themselves, I screamed out trying to get away as they grabbed at me and awoke with a start dripping in sweat.

I looked around the room, the clock on my bedside said it was 10am. The bed covers were twisted around me and I struggled to get them off for a while. Mark's clothes from yesterday were tossed in a pile on a chair I'm the corner of the room. I called out to him but with no reply finally I assumed that he must already have left to go to the convention, it being the last day it was apparently to be the busiest.

Memories of last night surfaced and although I did not remember him coming into the room he scent confirmed it. I groggily walked towards the bathroom stripping off and stepping into a hot shower as I tried to release all the tension in my body. It was in the bath room I heard the hotel door opening and as I stepped out of the shower Mark's familiar grumbling echoed from the other room.

I scrambled on yesterday's clothes before stepping out of the bathroom tentatively.

Mark looked at me bashfully "How are you feeling this morning ?"

"Fine." I muttered finally turning to face him fully arms crossed. "Why didn't you tell me you knew what was going on with Jack ?"

"I didn't know.. Anti was just something Jack made up a while ago, he was just a character. We made opposit characters like Darkiplier and Antisepticeye, it was all a joke we used for skits." He explained hesitantly gageing my reaction.

"Well it didn't sound like something just made up when he was explaining it to me. Don't you dare call him Jack that's only for his friends. I just feel like you've lied to me. I trusted you..." I started tearing up. Mark had always meant so much to me, before Jack had come into my life. And gradually I had been falling for him, letting my barriers down but this all felt like the world around me was caving in.
