Why be the judge? (Septiplier)

Chapter 15

JACKS POV

"Well the white lines on my chest are kind of what happen when you have abu-"the door opens and I turn red with anger and embarrassment. Out of the corner of my eye I see Dan taking a few steps back, hunching away. 

"Oh... Jack, I- I am sorry I'll just leave." He says before turning away, the door shutting behind him.

Everyone turns to look at me.

"What?" I ask, really confused.

"Who didn't see that!!!" cries Tyler, "You have the hots for him! Ohmigod! Jack! I fucking ship it!"

"Yeeaahh... well let's stop wasting our time and go get drinks." I say pulling down my shirt and kinda sorta blushing.

Everyone agrees. I'm glad that no one brought up the bruises and cuts while we drink our coffees. The only thing they did bring up was to make me promise something.

"Promise us that if it ever happens again, you will tell one of us and stay at our place," says Phil.

"Yeah," agrees Dan and Tyler.

"...Okay. I promise I will tell someone next time." I swear.

We keep chatting for an hour before they leave to pack for tomorrow and I'm left alone, thinking about what awaits me when I get home. But before I leave I need to do something first. So I pull out my Iphone 6s and open messenger.

MARKS POV

I close the door behind me and walk out of Starbucks. I forget my coffee and go straight to my car, turn it on and drive away. Idiot. I think. What was I thinking? Walking in on something I know I shouldn't have. But then again. What was with all the bruises on his chest? I get out of the car and walk inside; slamming the door behind me, not caring about the fact I might get yelled at. I go to my room and flop on my bed. I tried to think about anything else, I even did some homework. But I can't. All I can think about is Jacks colourful chest. What happened to him? Who in their right mind would hurt a kind, caring person like that? My phone suddenly starts vibrating in my pocket; and I pull it out, seeing the name of the sender flashing before me. Jack    .   

Jack: hey Mark, just wondering if you're ok after what happened?

I take a minute to respond.

Me: yeah. Sorry, I shouldn't have walked in.

Jack: it wasn't your fault.

Me: yeah, it was. I could hear Dan and Phil talking, but I didn't think I would see that.

Jack: oh... well it still doesn't mean that what happened was your fault.

Me: yeah, but I still feel bad.

Jack: aside from that... what are you doing at the moment now?

Me: apart from talking from you? Well that's all I'm doing. I need to set up my second hard drive, but not really bothered. You?

Jack: sitting around Starbucks drinking a caramel latte. Hey, if you've got the second hard drive, I can come over and we can finish the project?

Me: yeah sure, if you really want to, and don't feel awkward.

Jack: no, not at all, I'll see you in an hour .

Me: ok.

I place my phone on the bed and sigh, "AN WHOLE FUCKING HOUR!" I think stressed, "I NEED FRIENDS, NOW!" I pick up my phone, and open Gerard's name.

Me: HELP !! Jacks coming after I did something terrible.

Gerard: what the fuck did you do this time?

Me: I walked in on something that I shouldn't have.

Gerard: Oh Mark *sigh and slaps head*. Was he naked? 

Me: no!!! WTAF!!! Just... don't worry about it. Just please come over in less than an hour. PLEASE!!

Gerard: LOL just kidding, sure if you are that insecure. Can Patrick come?

Me: yeeah suure. What is going on with you 2 any ways?

Gerard: nothing

Me: yes there is! don't leave me hanging. :(

Gerard: do you really want to know?

Me: Yass please :)

Gerard: you have to do something in return for me though.

Me: Anythinnngg. Just tell me!!

I hated that I sounded like a crazed fan girl, but I had to know for certain!

Gerard: by the time that everyone comes back from the excursion, you gotta ask Jack out.

Now I kind of expected something like that, but are you fucking serious!? He doesn't understand that we cant be together. I'm a jock, the cool one that is supposed to bully people like him. but right now I honestly don't know who I am any more. I look at the text before replying back.

Me: yeah, ok, deal.

Gerard: ok, I will see you soon!

Me: Gerard! you fucking cheeky prick.

JACKS POV

Why did I agree to see him? and even worse in an hour?

I open up my contacts and instinctively scroll down to the letter H; where only Dan's name appears with a pair of whiskers as his profile picture. Just as I go to press the call button, I pause, did I really want to ask Dan to do something like this, go to the place of where his biggest fear lived? I decide that I would be asking to much of him and exit his name. I think about calling Phil or Tyler, even Felix or Cry (I never get time to see them because their never any where to be seen, the rest of us think they go to the bathroom to have some 'fun'), but I can't, for the same reason as Dan. They hate Mark, I'll just have to man up and face the music alone...... unless. I quickly reopen contacts and scroll down to the bottom where only one name sits. I open it and press the call button. Almost instantly they answer.

"Hello?" he asks

"Hey Gerard, what are you up to," I say being polite.

"Jack? Hey! Nothing much really, what about you man?"

"Well, actually... I was wondering if you could help me with something, if you're not busy?" I ask, although it sounds like I'm begging.

"Yeah, but it depends what it is," in the background I hear a guy giggling.

I go on to tell him in basic detail what happened at Starbucks and the convo we had afterwards, he sighs before replying.

"So you want me to go to Mark's place with you so you can be not so awkward?" he asks slowly

"Yeah, but I understand if you can't though." I say sadly, expecting the worst.

"I'll come with you, just one condition though."

"What?"

"My friend Patrick can come."

"Yeah, sure, he sounds nice,"

"He's perfect," he says and gets another giggle before the line goes dead.

I still have 25 minutes to procrastinate.

(guys, I am extremely sorry about what is going on between Marks friend but I promise that it will end by or maybe before chapter 20.)
