Jack's POV
I wake up and throw some clothes on. I head down stairs and grab a piece of bacon and head out the door. I start walking to Mark's house not paying attention to anything but my thoughts. Then someone trips me. I fall on my face and roll over holding my nose that is now gushing blood. I groan in pain and open my eyes to see Felix standing over me.
F: Hey, Fag! Where's your boyfriend?
J: I don't have a boyfriend! Leave me alone!
F: Why did you snitch on us?
J: I didn't! The teacher found out!
F: Well she wouldn't have found out if you wouldn't have told!
He kicked me in the side and tears started flowing down my face. I was so close to Mark's house. I could get up and run there but I can't. I'm being kicked and punched. I can't move. It hurts so bad. Then I hear someone yelling. It sounds like...MARK!!
M: GET AWAY FROM HIM, FELIX!
F: Oh look! It's your boyfriend, here to save the day!
M: Get away from him. Now.
F: Or what, Bitch?
M: Or I'll kick the shit outta you.
F: I'd like to see you try.Mark's POV
I walk out on my front porch thinking Jack should be here by now. I look down the street and see Felix kicking someone on the ground. I run over and see it's Jack. I try to get Felix to stop but he isn't.
M: Or I'll kick the shit outta you.
F: I'd like to see you try.
And with that, I run at him. I tackle him to the pavement and raise him up by the collar of his shirt. I punch him and his head bounces down but I pull him right back up. I hit him again and again until he cry's. I get off of him and turn to Jack.
M: Baby, Are you okay?
J: Yeah...Thanks Mark.
I help him up and pretty much carry him back to my house. I swing open the door and set him in a chair. His nose is still gushing and he was kicked so much in the sides he is gonna be bruised.
M: Stay here, baby...
I run upstairs and into the bathroom to get the med kit. While I do so I start yelling.
M: MOM! MOM COME DOWNSTAIRS NOW! EMERGENCY! DARK! MOM!
I run back down to Jack and he looks terrible. I press a wet rag to his nose and then footsteps come down the stairs. It's my mom.
Mom: What happened!?
M: Felix, a bully, beat him up!
Then Dark came up behind us.
M: I hit Felix and made him stop but he had already hurt Jack. Felix is probably still outside.
Mom: Well I'll call Jack's mom and for right now we'll get him cleaned up.
Dark growled and his eyes were bright red. He stormed outside and down the street.Dark's POV
I walk down the street in search of this "Felix" guy. I walk for a second and see blood on the ground. I look around and see someone limping down the sidewalk and I run up behind him.
D: Felix?
He looks back at me and his eyes widen.
D: You the one who beat up Jack?
F: I- I....
D: You shouldn't have done that. Ya see, I'm a demon. Jack is my friend. I can kill you. And I will. I'll drink your blood and leave your body on your door step for your parents to find.
F: No...P-Please...
I grab him by the throat and slam him against the chain fence he was walking by. I start to squeeze harder at his neck and he gasps for hair and his hands grab at mine.
F: S-stop....Please...
D: You hurt Jack. You deserve death.
I continue choking him until he turns purple. I drop him and he instantly falls on his ass. He gasps for air and I kick him in the chest. Once again he looses his breath and he gasps for more air. I lean down close to him and whisper in my deepest voice.
D: Stay the fuck away from Jack and my brother. If I find out you've talked to them, looked at them, or touched them...I'll actually kill you. Got it?
He nods quickly and I teleport back to my house.
Mom: Where were you!?
D: Setting things straight.
Mom: Dark...
D: No he isn't dead. He will be if he hurts you guys again and he knows it.
They had Jack all cleaned up and his mom was on her way. A few minutes pass and we hear the doorbell.Mark's POV
I run to the door and open it. Jack's mom stands there looking terrified. I take her hand and walk her into the kitchen.
Mrs. McLoughlin: Sean! Are you okay??
She runs over to him and cups his face in her hands.
J: Yeah, mom. I'm fine. Thanks to Mark.
Mrs. McLoughlin: Well...I'm glad he was there to help.
She turns and smiles at me. I smile back amd walk over behind Jack. I run my fingers through his messy hair as his mom talks with mine.
J: Thank you so much, Mark...
M: You don't need to thank me.
He hugs me and whispers in my ear so no one else hears.
J: I love you...
M: Love you too
We pull apart and turn to our moms.
J: Mrs. Fishbach?
Mom: Yes?
J: Could Mark come home with me? I'm pretty shaken up...
Mom: Of course, as long as your mom doesn't mind.
She looks at Jack's mom and Jack's mom smiled.
Mrs. McLoughlin: Of course he can. Anything to make you feel better, Sean.
