I'm not crazy

*(Jack's POV)*

I woke up to be shaken awake. I groaned and put my face in my pillow, still being shook. "Ugh. Jack, wake up." I get my face out of my pillow and see its Sierra. 

"What is it? I was enjoying being asleep." I tiredly spoke.

"Can I scare him now?" She looked at me, completely serious. 

"What time is it?" I reach over to my phone but she speaks before I can get to it.

"8:25 in the morning."

"When he wakes up." I lay back down on the bed and face away from her, trying to fall back asleep. 

"Fine." I hear her say as she walks out. She slams the door and I jump slightly.

I relax my body and let my eyes drift closed. There's a loud boom. I jump up out of bed still half sleep and start to run out of my room. Blocking the door is Sierra. Wait, how did the door get open? I get out of my daze and realize she opened my door, that must've been the loud boom. "He's Gone! Can't find him anywhere!" She yells and points to Felix's door. I walk over to it. 

She's right. No one is there. The bed is neat and everything is organized. I look in the bathroom. There's no sign of him. He just cleaned the room and left. No 'thank you' or anything. Maybe he just went to school and didn't want to wake me or something. I'll go with that. It still hurts a little bit to know that Mark left so suddenly, like it didn't really matter that he stayed in my home. What if he tells people? I can only cross my fingers he doesn't.

When I ate breakfast I just stared off into space. I was going through all the scenarios in my head, good and bad. Ethan tried to make me feel better about he whole situation. Unfortunately, it hardly did anything to lift my spirits.

~~~Time Skip~~~

Ethan was looking out the back window for me. Felix might come, he might not. After a few minutes I got a text form Felix: "I'm not coming, but can Mark? Jack, we can't keep him at my house and he can't go home."

"He can stay outside. Don't try to change my mind." I responded.

He didn't respond, but he did read the text. I'm assuming Mark won't come, Felix wouldn't have him stay outside on the sidewalk, like some stray dog.

I don't know a lot about Mark, but what Felix said is stuck in my head; "Better to have none than what he has." That was when we were talking about family on Saturday. He must have a bad home life. I can only slightly imagine from some of the books I've read. Now than I'm thinking about it, he never told me what he was helping Mark with. Probably trying to get him here. I won't dwell on it too much.

Ethan turned to face me,"Jack, nobody is in sight. Anywhere."

"Felix just texted me, he's not coming. I'm assuming Mark won't come either, but we'll ignore him if he does." I get up and start walking to my room, Ethan goes to the courtyard. 

I put in my earbuds and play some music. I turn it up so I can't hear anyone around me. So, when I'm walking to my room I just ignore everyone. 

Once I get there I sit on my bed and stare out of my window. What if he tells someone?

AN: Sorry for no updates lately! My computer broke, but its fine now.

I'm feeling a lot better than the last update as well.

I was also reading through some chapters and I completely forgot to write Sunday. Oops. Let's just pretend it was really boring so I didn't write it. Ok?
