Not So Insane After All

Chapter seven (Jack)

When i woke up from my nap i looked over to see mark and chloe holding hands. I felt the anger start to rise in my chest. But then i look in her mirror and see she has been crying with her big puffy red eyes, the ice blue iris has an unusual glow to it. It was mesmerizing. I stared into them until mark started to talk.

"Chloe i'm sorry that I even asked that. It was-" she cut him off

"No it's fine. The only other person who knows all of this is jack. He's always been there for me, he's my best friend. He's always so happy and energetic, can i tell you something serious?" he gave a small nod "before he came i was super depressed, i almost committed suicide with a bed sheet and the bunk bed in the room next to me. But that day jack came. He was so happy. I wondered 'why is he so happy, he just arrived to hell with a smile. He must really be insane' but i got to know him. But was still

depressed until he told me something i'll never forget 'I hope you will one day see how much you are hurting me by hurting yourself.' i never wanted him to hurt so i got my shit together and realized that life wasn't so bad with him and soon to be you around." at this point i was in tears crying to myself. I spoke.

"Oh my god chloe now you have me in tears!" mark looked at me and was obviously trying not to cry as well. She started to laugh, and so did we. i had no clue

what i was laughing at but her laugh is infectious. We sat there still driving with a small chuckle in the air, mark said that we were almost to the mall in albany.

"Maybe about 10 minutes then we can get you two some clothing that are not 10 times to big" he chuckled. Oh my god i just realized we are still in his oversized clothing.

"Oh my word i didn't even realize we are in this still the clothing you gave us!" chloe said just as i finished my thought. So we were driving for at least another 5 min or so until we pulled up to the mall. Once we all got out of the car. I saw the mall. It was small for one, well at least from what I could remember. Everything was a bler in the years before i came to the hell of a asylum. All i remember is how loving my dad was. My mom hates me because i was different.

"We gotta be quick. I'll give you both about 45 min or so in each store. I wanna be on that campsite before tomorrow." mark said as soon as we got inside. Then we all took off into the 1st store we saw.
