Crowded mind //Markiplier//

40 (LAST CHAP)

(Well friends... here it is...)

Amy and Mark, still angry at each other, sit in different rows on the plane.

"Can you two get along? Just for a little while longer?" Ethan asks Mark quietly. He shakes his head stubbornly. "Asshole." Ethan mutters under his breath and Mark glares at him.

Amy stared out the window, watching the world pass below. It seemed so small... yet when you're on it it's so big... it's deceiving. All a matter of perspective. Some people say it's a good thing, the world being a small place. Everyone is closer. When really, it's a bad thing.

These jumbled thoughts float through Amy's head, nothing really connecting.

Jack seemed to be struggling with his own mind, as if he's fighting himself. He's gripping the edges of his seat so hard his fingers are white.

Felix was asleep, and even if he was awake he wouldn't be talking. His headphones are in, a faint Swedish rock leaking from them.

Ethan sighs, wanting everything to be light and happy. That game changed them, the one that Ash_Dies_Alone made. She changed them. But how? How did she get the egos? How did she even get to technology where she is? What if it wasn't her...

Ethan's mind gives thoughts just as confusing as Amy's. Nothing was okay. And it never will be. Okay is just a mask that people put on to feel better, but it really does nothing.

Marks mind was blank. He was tired of thinking, tired of feeling, tired of living. But he couldn't die now, if he made it this far he wouldn't let those efforts go to waste.

Soon enough, the plane landed. Since Mark was in a wheelchair, they let the group off first. The cold terminal chilled them to the bone, until they exited the airport, where the sun beat down on them. Kasey pulls up in a while mini-van, rolling down the window.

"How was the flight?"

"Fine." Mark answers gruffly as Felix and Jack lift him into a seat and put the wheelchair in the back. Kasey frowns but says nothing else.

Everyone gets in, tension so thick it was almost as if you could cut through it. Mark didn't want this. He wanted to be happy. He wants everyone to be happy.

Kasey starts driving. Ohio was empty, so she got around pretty easily.

"I can't take this!" Ethan almost yells. The group turns to him, confused. "This... drama! The tension! We were friends before this all happened and we will be friends now!"

Mark sighs, shaking his head. "Somethings aren't meant to be-"

"But this is! Our group," he waves his arm around, "is! We are made to be!"

"Ethan, don't do this. Not now." Mark leans into the seat.

"Yes now! The only time you can't run!"

"I can't run at all asshole!" Mark talks about him being in the wheelchair. For some reason, that comment made a few laugh. The atmosphere lighten the slightest bit.

"But you'd win a hell of a game of Mario Kart." Jack jokes. More laughter.

"Not rainbow road. No one wins that one." Felix adds in. The atmosphere was light, and laughter flowed easily. It was as if they weren't fighting at all.
