A New Beginning (Adopted By Septicplier)

A Fresh, New, Start!

I smile, "May I pack my stuff?" I say exited. "Sure!" Mark said. I let go of them and run up the stairs. I hop on my bed and grab my  bag. My knife slipped out. 

I do deserve it. 

I take the knife and slit my rist in two places. One for Jack, Another Mark, and then for Jackie. They bled a bit but I ignore it. I grabbed my packed bag and ran back down. I jump and hug Jack. He laughs and my sleeves roll up a bit and show my cuts. Mark saw and stares at me. I let go of Jack and pulled my sleeves down. I stare back at Mark for a second then hung my head in shame.

Mark came next to me and put a hand on my shoulder. I jump on instinct but then calmed down noticing it was Mark. I walk out to the car with a cheerful Jackie next to me. I hopped into the car, Jackie did the same.

Jackie layed her head on my lap. I smile and stroke her long, blond hair. The car was quiet. A good kind of quiet. I look out the window as the darkness took me into a deep sleep.

~Dream~

"No one loves you. No one ever loved you. And no one ever will." Said a dark figure, walking to me grabbing my arm. I couldnt speak. So I just squirmed. The man threw me in the orphanage and left. I hugged my knees as dark figures crawled around me, Calling my name.

"KEEGAN!"

I woke up screaming, breathing heavily.

"KEEGAN!!" Jack screamed to get my attention. I snap my neck to him, he sighs in relief. "Oml.. You scared the crap out of me... Are you ok?" Mark said, worried. I nod and look out the window, embarrassed. 

~Time Skip Brought To You By... Uh.... Life~

We finaly got 'home'. I should call it home. Mark got out of the car and so did Jack. Me and Jackie got out and admired the huge home. "Waohhhh..." I say, amazed. "Tour?" Mark asked, "Tour." I stated. We all laugh.

He showed us all around the house. Then our rooms, Jackie squealed.  It was purple, her favorite color. Then Mark showed me my room when Jack stayed with Jackie."Keegan," He began with a sigh, he reaches his hand and I allow him to take it. Turning it over, he sees all my lashing scars. He pulls up my sleeve to reveal a series of new and old scars. "Why do you do this?" He asked kindly. "I-I  deserve i-it.. I'm t-trash and no o-one wants m-me...." I awnser, on the verge of tears.

He pulls me into a hug. I hug back, sobbing. I normaly dont do this. I dont trust people often, but Mark.. He truly loved me. And he is my dad. "P-Please d-dont tell J-Jackie.. O-Or Ja-ack..." I stutter out, sobbing between words. He nodded slowly. "Ok.. As long as you tell them yourself.." He muttered. 

Your 18! Snap the fuck outta it!

I pulled away, listening to the voice in my brain. 

Your not supposed to cry into some strangers arm.

"He is not a stranger!" I argue out loud. Mark looks at me questionably.  "S-Sorry.." "No, its ok.." He says calmly. He seems to be arguing with himself when he walks out of the room, to give you some space.

Dont yell at me, boy. You cannot get rid of me. Nor ignore me, For that matter.

"I just want you to go away!" I scream, then coving my mouth, I turn and sob into a pillow. 

I cant even injoy this house.. I think. I wipe my tears and look around at my room. It was huge, the walls painted teal. I smile to myself.

I make my way down stairs to where Jackie, Mark, and Jack were. I plop myself on the couch. They stair at me worryingly, "E-Eheh.." I awkwardly laugh. Jack, which is on a recliner, comes and sits next to me. Jackies already next to me. And Mark picks me up unexpectedly and spins me in the air as I hang onto his shirt for dear life.

"AHHHHHH-" I scream. Mark chuckles and sets me down. Jack and Jackie were laughing their asses off. Mark ruffles my hair and I smile. Jackie tackle hugs me and I fall down and hug her. "I got chuuu!" Jackie giggles. I flip her over so I'm on top of her. "I got chu." I say and tickle Jackie. She laughs uncontrollably.

I spin Keegan around and then set them on the ground. I ruffle their hair, and they smile. Jackie on the other hand tackled Keegan. She sat on top of Keegan and we all laughed. They then rolled on top of Jackie. "I got chu." They said, and laughed. They tickled Jackie. I jump in and tickled them both.

We are so matchure..(Again with my fucking spelling ,_,) I thought.

Soon enough it was a tickle war. Jack jumped in.                 Jack & Mark Vs. Keegan & Jackie                                                 We ended up going at it for what it felt like hours, on the floor. Jack and I tickled the shit outta the girls. After we let them catch their breaths, we sat back on the couch.

"That was fun!" I blurt out, "Yeah! If.. We do that... We normaly get.. Beat..." Jackie adds. I elbow her slightly to tell her to stop. Jack and Mark look at us worryingly. "What?.." Jack asks. "I-Its noth-thing.." I awnser, scared. Mark puts a hand on my shoulder, "We won't hurt you, we promise.." Mark said, reassuringly. I look at Jackie and she nods.

"S-So.. U-Uh..." I started, "T-They w-would beat us i-if we s-stepped o-out o-of line..." I say, stumbling upon words. Jack and Mark freeze, their mouths opening with nothing coming out. "But we are fine now!.." Jackie said, "Yeah.. You saved us..." I added. I hugged my Fathers and they hugged back.

I yawn and ask, "Im gonna go to bed.. I-If thats ok.." Mark nods. I kiss Jack and Mark on the forheads and head to my room. They seem suprized, but smile. Before I go to bed I sit on Jackies bed, who is still waiting for a song. "You ready?.." I ask, she nods sleepily. "I'll sing the one I normaly do, ok?" Again Jackie nods.

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine.
You make me happy when skies are gray.
You'll never know, dear, how much I love you.
So please don't take my sunshine.. Away.

I hesitated but continued,

The other night dear, when I lay sleeping.
I dreamt I held you in my arms.
When I awoke dear, I was mistaken.
So I hung my head, and cried.

You are my sunshine.. My only sunshine.
You make me happy, when skies are gray.
You'll never know, dear, how much I need you.
So please don't take my sunshine.. Away...

Jackie was sleeping, but I paniced when I noticed Mark in the door way. I look at him, tears were threatening to fall. He opens his arms, I got up and hugged him.

Marks bear hugs were the best. It was always so warm and comforting.

"H-How much did y-you hear...?" I ask, "Enough." He stated. A tear fell down my cheek. He hugs me a bit tighter, then let go. "You should get some rest." He said, I nod and we walk to my room. He tucks me in like I do to Jackie. Mark kisses my forhead and walks out of my room, turning out the light. Then, I fell asleep.
