(Mark's POV) 

I've noticed that Jackie's really been on edge lately. I had a few guesses on what it could be. John, going back to school, or it just might be something she's not telling me. 

"Seana?" I began, using her real name. 
"Yeah?" she replied a little too quickly. 
"Is everything alright? You've been on edge lately." 
"I'm fine, Mark. I promise." 
"Are you sure?" 

She nodded and gave me a weak smile. She was lying, but I'll ask later, when she does start to feel better. 
The next day at school, I saw that John was trying to avoid me. Good, he's finally learning. I know that Jackie's safe, for now. As I told John before, I won't hesitate to beat his ass if he touches Jackie again.
It was almost time for my first period, but Jackie had ILT for two blocks (an hour), so she would stay in the lobby, so the teachers could make sure no one messes with her. Hopefully, no one does. 

(Jackie's POV) 

I went tuh' the lobby, since Mark's class was right outside. He told me tuh' stay there so tha' secretary could watch fer John. I suddenly began tuh' get a little thirsty. So, with a bit of pocket change, I went to one of tha' Coke machines tuh' get somethin'.
As I was about to press the button, I could sense someone was behind me. I turned around quickly, only to be met by John's face. I was pushed against tha' machine, unable tuh' run. What's worse is that I was held by tha' neck. 

"You scream and I'll make your life living hell," he growled. "Now, you're gonna listen to me. You tell Mark about anything that's about to happen, I will literally kill you." 

I was shakin' by now. I knew what he meant. John looked down each hallway and dragged me to tha' janitor's closet. He locked tha' door behind him, and I was cowered in tha' corner. He had only attempted this one other time. And fer so long, I was afraid he would do it again. 
He forced me tuh' stand up and started kissin' along my neck. I hated this so much. I tried tuh' push him off, but got slapped fer doin' so. There was no use in tryin' tuh' get away. He'd only hurt me more. 
After about five minutes of doin' this, John began tuh' take this even further. I heard tha' door open. John didn't notice... 

"WHAT THE HELL!?" the janitor gasped. 

John darted out of there and left me cowered in the corner. I was so scared. Tha' janitor knew that none a' this was accidental. But he also knew I didn't want any part of it either. He asked me tha' name of the guy in here with me.
I told him, but he needed tuh' make it seem like he knew who it was. He agreed, fer my safety. He then asked if there was anyone I wanted tuh' come and get me. I told him Mark Fischbach. He took me to tha' office and had the secretary go on tha' intercom fer him.
But I just sat there, thinkin' about what I was gonna say... 

(Mark's POV) 

I was sitting bored in Pre-Cal, thinking about Jackie and if he was safe. I hadn't been able to focus all period because of it. Even Felix could tell, and asked if I was okay. I replied that I was just worried about Jackie. He said he'd felt the same all period. That made me feel even more nerv-

"Mark Fischbach, come to the office," the intercom said. 

Everyone looked at me. God, I hoped it wasn't anything that happened to Jackie. I've given John the last warning. He's so fucking dead if he hurt my Jackie. I got up and grabbed my things, since the period was almost over anyway. Then, I made my way to the office. 
As I got closer, I saw the noticeable green hair through the window. I raced into the office and knelt down in front of her. She had tears streaming down his face. I looked along her neck and collarbone... There were hickeys. I looked at her. 

"John did this, didn't he," I growled lowly, not trying to scare her. 

Jackie didn't respond. I could understand, especially if it was John. I hugged her tightly and she broke down crying. This broke my heart, and John was gonna pay dearly. I grabbed Jackie's hand and helped her up. 

"C'mon," I began angrily. "We're going to settle this with that bastard right now. I'm not gonna allow him to hurt you like this without consequences. He did this to himself." 
"B-But Mark-" 
"But Mark, nothing. He hurt you, Jackie. I'm not gonna have it." 

I saw John talking to a friend of his down the hall. I was only ten feet away from him when he saw me. He tried to run, but I pinned him against the wall. His friend got away. 

"Look here, you sonovabitch!" I growled. "I'm not fucking around anymore!! You've hurt Jackie for the last damn time!" 
"Oh, so you figured it out..." he smirked. 
"Figured what out? That you hurt her?" 
"Oh, so you don't know why I did it then..." 
"John, don't," I heard Jackie gasp. 
"What?!" I yelled at him. "What is it that I don't know?!" 
"I used to date Jackie, Mark..." 

I looked at Jackie in surprise. She dated this bastard?! I wasn't hurt or anything; I just wanted to know why. 

"I want her back, and I always get what I want," John smiled. 
"Not this time, bitch," I growled. 

I punched the shit out of him. He gave me a death glare, which never scared me. He got into a fighting stance as a circle formed around us. Jackie was scared and in the front of the crowd. Suddenly, three guys held her there. John smiled at me. He planned this!! But I had a choice. Bail and leave Jackie with John... Or I could fight John and possibly get hurt getting Jackie back...
