(Mark's POV) 

For the next few weeks, Jack and I hung out at school every day. Felix and my group knew about us and about the rumor I was afraid Jason would spread. They and Jack's group had already said they'd both fight him and his posse if they needed to. 
As I was scrolling through my Twitter feed during Study Hall, I saw messages pop up on my phone. Somehow, Jason had gotten my number and was now texting me and threatening me.
I was getting scared, because I know Jason too well. He'll either hurt me or... do something to me if I don't reply. So... I might as well.

Mark: 
What do you want?!

Jason: 
Fucking answer me next time, or it won't be pretty. Now, what the fuck are you doing with that emo trash?! 

Mark: 
Fuck off, Jason!! I love him and that's all that matters! 

Jason: 
How can you love him!?... I always knew you'd do this, and with the most trashiest guy! 

Mark: 
Have you looked in a mirror lately!? YOU are the trashiest guy at this school! You take pictures and make them out to what they're not! You make fun of people and beat them up for being gay, smaller, or anything you don't like! And, you take advantage of the ones who won't do anything if you try to hurt us! 

Jason: 
You know you like it. 

Mark: 
The fuck if I do! Why do you think I'm always trying to get away from you?! You've ruined my life, and I hate you!

Jason: 
...You'll regret that. 

Mark: 
Regret what?

I fucking hate Jason. By now, I was crying from the anxiety. My hands were shaking and I was about to drop my phone and have a chance of cracking it if I didn't put it down.
Just then, Jack looked over from my group, which he hangs out with them too now, and got scared. He rushed over and got in the empty seat in front of me. He grabbed my hands and started to rub the back of them. 

"Babe," he began. "What's tha' matter? Are ya alright?!" 
"N-No," I replied. 
"What is it?... Can ya tell me or is it somethin' ya need tuh' show me?" 
"S-Show you..." 
"Is it on yer phone?" 

I nodded. 

"Messages?" 
"Y-Yeah..." 
"Let me guess... it's that bastard, Jason, isn't it?" 

I nodded. 

"I swear, if he's threatenin' you," Jack growled under his breath. 

He scrolled through the messages and got angrier as he went through them. Once he was done, he put my phone down and immediately hugged me. I hugged him back and quietly cried. 

"I won't let him lay a hand on ya," he promised. "Once school ends, or if I can get our teacher tuh' let us go early, we'll rush to my car." 
"Your car?" 
"Yeah. It was in tha' shop, but my uncle dropped it off today." 

The entire day, I could see Jason staring into my soul. I was so nervous about it, but Jack reassured me it would be okay. If we'd have to fight, he said Felix would be the first there. He and Felix were now best friends, and I was happy about that. 
But nonetheless, I was still nervous. At the end of the day, Jack and I quickly gathered our things and ran out. We ran to Jack's car, and I could see Jason following after. 

"JACK," I gasped. "HURRY!" 

Unfortunately, he couldn't get the key in the ignition in time and I was yanked from the car. He jumped out and went to go after Marco and Jason, who had me. However, Jason and Marco had about four friends with them. We were screwed now. 
Marco and one of Jason's friends held me while Jason went up to Jack. He grabbed him by his chin and made him look at him. 

"So, you two are together now, huh," he growled. "If you couldn't already tell, he's mine." 
"I'M NOT YOURS," I yelled, done with his shit. "I NEVER WAS!" 
"Shut up!" 

He then slapped me in the face, and I saw a fire spark in Jack's heart. Jason then came back over to me and began to hit me constantly, and wherever. Jack started fighting the guys holding him, trying to get to me. 

"MARK!" he cried. "YOU SONSABITCHES!" 

He finally started kicking, and hit two of the guys where the sun don't shine, then the last one was easy for him. But, by now, I could barely stay awake. I was so weak and hurt... Just as Jack finished with his group, he started running towards Jason and the others. 
He fought them with no problem at all, taking them down with ease. But, the last thing I saw before passing out was Jack running to me... 

"MARK!" 

(Felix's POV) 

I was driving me, Ken, and Marzia home, but I got a call from Jack. I didn't wanna get in trouble for texting/calling while driving, so I had Marzia answer it. But, once she did, she gasped and started crying. What the fuck happened?! 

"What's going on," I ask frantically, stopping at a gas station. "Are they okay!?" 

I about cried when she told me what happened...
