Ch. 8

Signe : what happened?
Jack : I'm being an idiot 😔
Signe : what did you do?
Jack : I washed my face 😰
Signe : shit okay I'm coming.

I was currently staring at my face when I texted her. It did look like I was crying. What made matters worse was that you could see some part of my red eyebags, just ripping through the concealer.

"Jack! What happened?" a deep male voice questioned.

"Look it's none of - MARK!" I screamed.

"sshhhh!" he shushed me.

"What - what're you doing here?!" I shrieked.

"I study here," Mark said. "What happened to your face? Do you have a skin problem or something?"

"I'm here!" Signe announces, dashing into the men's.

"Signe it's the men's washroom!" I exclaimed.

"I know but your face is an emergency," she points to my face, circling around it.

"What is she - "

"Mark is it possible if we talked after Algebra? Now's not really a good time," I said.

"Yea, yea okay," he left immediately.

After that Signe made me face her.

"God Jack you look horrible!" she said, wiping my face with make up wipes.

Mark's POV

Was it something I did? I thought he felt the same way but now it's clear that he doesn't, and it was probably clear a long time ago. I walked into class feeling hopeless, empty, devastated ...

***

It's time I told him. He has to know ...

When I found him at his locker, putting some books in I ran to him.

"Hey Jack," I said, waving.

"Hey Mark," he replied. "Is there something you want to tell me?"

"Actually ... There is and it's been in my head for a long time. So - "

"Hey Jack!" someone butted in.

Jack turned around and shrieked, "Felix!"

"Hey Jack. You've been in my mind since - "

"sorry I was - "

"Forever and I want you to know that ... I like you," Felix finishes.

"What?!" Jack shrieks.

But it wasn't like he was shocked or anything, he seemed happy.

"Okay .... I guess you don't feel the same .... " Felix wanted to walk away but Jack held his shoulder.

"I do! I wanted to tell you too."

I do! I wanted to tell you too ...
I do! I wanted to tell you too ...
I do! I wanted to tell you too ...

What?!

I thought he loved me.

I thought he cared about me.

I thought we had something.

Why??? I thought he felt the same way for a second ...

I quickly left and ran to mg car and drove back to Disneyland immediately.

"Mark!" my mom exclaimed as I ran to my room. She followed. "What happened?"

"He got someone better ... " I said, laying on my bed.

"What the fuck?!" my mom sweared.

"Mom what - "

"There's no one better than you, Mark!" my mom shrieked. "I swear to god he liked you, Mark. I could sense it!"

Just then, I heard a song come on so loud from outside. But the song was 'Someone Like You' by Adele.

My cousin butted in suddenly with the song playing in his phone.

"Mark it's okay!" he said. "If he wants someone else that means you can find someone better."

"But he was the best one!" I exclaimed, with my voice trembly and tears welling up in my eyes. "I loved him ... "

... I hate to turn up outta the blue uninvited but I couldn't stay away I couldn't fight it and I hope you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded that for me, it isn't over ....

After 'over' I lost it. Tears ran down as fast as lighting and I quickly covered my face, squeezing my eyes tight.

***

I wanted to find someone else. I wanted to forget all this happened. But it's been a month, and I still can't forget how much I loved to stare at his ocean deep eyes.

It was just a normal Friday for me, went home and started on homework. When I was in the middle of solving X, something went through the window and into my bedroom.

When I looked at where it landed, I panicked. It was rolling slower and slower, eventually stopping whilst the small, red, blinking light on it threatened me.

"FUCK!" I screamed, pouncing out of my chair. "SHIT! NO NO NO NO NO - "

BOOM.

Before I could even leave the room, I fell to the floor, my head banging hard on the carpetted floor. My head was spinning, and I was beginning to see double. Soon enough, I blacked out.

Jack's POV

It's been a great month for me since I'm with the one I love, Felix. But, unfortunately something doesn't feel right. He doesn't spend time with me, he doesn't take me out anymore, and sometimes he even avoids me.

Today I decided I should visit his dorm.

"uh, he-hey Jack!" Felix stuttered. I realized he was only wearing pants.

"Why are you shirtless? I thought you didn't like being shirtless?" I questioned.

"Oh um ... I just - "

"And what's that on your jawline?" I pointed to the side of his neck. "A bruise?"

"Ouch, yea um babe I - "

"And what's that on your desk?" I went into Felix's room, picking up the object. "Lipstick?"

"Huh? Oh yea my mom - "

"What the fuck?! It's a mess in here! So many clothes," I said, picking up the clothes. Then I realized something

"A crop top, a mini skirt ... " I muttered. "What's this?"
