Jealousy [Markson fanfic]

Why now?

     It was the next day and Jackson decided to give his dad a call. He called his dad once, but he didn't answer so he tried again. He didn't answer the second time, so he tried again, and again, and again once more, but there was still no answer. He finally decided to leave a voicemail for his dad to call him whenever he heard the message. While he was sitting there going through his phone, he saw that he had received a voicemail from his dad a couple of days ago. He listened to it and the message had said, "Jackson, you are probably too busy to answer the phone, but I just wanted to let you know that I got kicked out of my apartment for not paying the last couple of months, so could you please help me out and send me some money, I would really appreciate it." Jackson just sat there and wondered where his dad was at. He could be anywhere out there on the streets.

     He decided to call up Jinyoung to ask if he wanted to hang out and talk about the situation with his dad. "Yeah sure I'll hang out, I have Mark with me so he will be with us." JInyoung told Jackson. "Oh yeah that's perfectly fine. Well I'll see you soon." Jackson told Jinyoung feeling excited. He was actually happy that Mark was coming because he really likes him.     

     So Jackson finished getting ready and headed to the cafe where they were going to hang out. When he arrived he saw the police and Mark and Jinyoung standing in front of the cafe upset. He walked up in hurry started to worry about what was going on. "Guys, what is going on?" Jackson asked with concern. An officer walked up to Jackson and said, "Jackson, we have some bad news." Jackson started to get really worried. "Please tell me." "Well Jackson, I don't know if you know this, but your dad was kicked out of his apartment for not paying the bills." "Yes sir I got the news this morning." The officer looked confused and asked, "About what?" Jackson said, "Well of him getting kicked out." The police officer looked at Mark and Jinyoung and told Jackson, "I'm afraid that's not the news we have for you." The officer looked at Mark and JInyoung again and so did Jackson with concern. Mark nodded and said, "It has to be said, so go ahead." The officer took a deep breath in and said, "Jackson, last night, your dad was found dead in the alley way. Apparently some people ganged up on him and killed him. We are really sorry." Jackson didn't know how to take the news so he just took off. "WAIT!" yelled Jinyoung, but Jackson just kept running. 

     It was like two hours later and no one knew where Jackson was. Jinyoung finally tried to call him, but there was no answer. Mark finally said, "Let's split up. I'll go this way and you go that way." Jinyoung agreed and they went off to find Jackson. Mark was walking down the street started to worry because he liked Jackson back. He was walking past the alley way when he heard someone talking to themself. That person was saying, "Why? Why him and not me? What did he deserve to get this?" 

     Mark walked around the dumpster to find that Jackson was the one talking to himself. "Jackson I'm here for you. Are you ok?" Jackson looked at Mark and said, "I don't know why I got put on this Earth to have my father die when I'm only 19." "Jackson, that's just the way life works. People come and go. It's natural" Jackson got upset and said, "What is the point in life?"

     Jackson pulled out the pocket knife his dad gave him and stood where his dad apparently got killed. "My dad got killed here, so I am too"

     "JACKSON DON"T!"

     But it was too late.
