Chapter 6: Wait. You're with him.

                                    

                                          
Mark's p.o.v:
Nothing much happened during the weekend. I was just waiting for Monday to arrive. As the sun was setting I could see the beauty behind life. I climb onto the roof and see my brother too. 
                          
"Hey brother." Tom said as he helps me up. I lay back on the roof and watch the sunset. I watch as the once blue sky turns into a mixture of purple, yellow, orange and red, the cold night air hurting my lungs slightly as I take a harsh breath in. "Are you ok? I mean you've been a bit off lately. I know it's probably because your final exams are coming up, but I still worry."
                          
"Yeah. Just have a little bit of pressure. I mean mom doesn't know, I made out with a guy when I was drunk, Josh is trying to be with me again and finals are getting to me. Not to mention dad. Everything happens too fast." I pull my hands through my hair and grip onto it. My head leaning over. The stars shines in the pitch black universe.
                          
"Well don't worry about dad. Moms sorting that out. You making out with guys is a normal thing and Josh, well you can't let him back into your life. You self harmed when he was around. You felt like death. So don't worry. Plus finals is two weeks away. Just revise and you'll pass." He says as he pats my shoulder. I feel myself relax at the thought of Tom helping me out.
                          
"Night." I say quickly as he climbs down. 
                          
"Night."
                          
Jack's p.o.v:
I feel the weight on my shoulder increase as I lay my desk out ready to revise. "FUCK!" I scream as my little toe hits the side of my bed frame. My ma would normally come running in but I remember I'm no longer in Ireland. 'I miss you so much ma. I want to come back but I've started my life.' I look at my family picture that was taken just before I left.
                          
I sit down in my seat and start to revise. It's about 11 o'clock when I feel my eyes close as I hit the books.
                          
I wake up to my alarm clock ringing. I rub my eyes with the ball of my hand as I walk to the window. In the morning light, I notice his fire red hair. I pull my phone out, take a picture and call him. 
                          
"WAKE UP YA DOOF!" I yell. My lips form a smirk when I see him jump.
                          
"Jack. What. The. FUCK!" He yells back. 
                          
"Needed to wake you up. You fell asleep on your roof." I wave. His middle finger sticks up when he looks at my window. He climbs down and ends the call.
                          
I get dressed into my usual black hoodie and blue baggy jeans. I walk to school and see Mark leave his house. "Hey, you bastard. Thanks for waking me up."
                          
"No problem." A smile forms on both mine and Mark's face. 
                          
"Look I need to go somewhere. I'll see you later." He says, walking off in a different direction.
                          
"Bye." I call. I keep walking and see the others.
                          
"Ok. We have the plan ready. Are you ready?" Wade asks. I nod slowly.
                          
"Let's get going then." Felix smiles, he claps his hands together.
                          
"I'm going to tell Mark to meet us at lunch." Bob says. He walks off in the same direction while the other two walk inside with me.
                          
"See you at break." They both say going off to their lessons.
                          
I walk to History and sit where I usually do. Mark trudges in and plonks himself down. He looks annoyed, angry and sad. 
                          
The day goes on like any other day. At break Mark is no where to be seen. 
                          
"Where's Mark? He wasn't in Drama and now he's not here?" Felix looks worried as he tells us. We look around and see him. "Mark." He calls out to him. Josh has his arm wrapped around his neck. 
                          
"I have a bad feeling about this." I whisper to him. I see him mutter into his ear. Mark's smile grew but I knew it was forced. We got closer to them and Mark explained what was happening.
                          
"Wait. You're with him. AGAIN!" We yell in unison.
