Mark and Jack eventually decide that 8pm was a good time to light up some fireworks, although Mark was a bit nervous about it he decided to give it a whirl and light a few.

Mark's POV

Jack carried me outside where he had everything set up, "Fer starters I am going to give you a sparkler because those are really fun! He handed me this stick that he lit, sparks went everywhere, I dropped it and ran behind Jack's foot, he watched me and started to chuckle. I flipped off the sparkler that he put out with his foot.

 "Okay, I guess we will just try something else." He handed me a red ball and a lit match, "go on and lit it, it isn't an explosive I promise." I lit is and was covered in red smoke, I couldn't see Jack, in fact I couldn't see anything but red. I was scared and I screamed when I was lifted off the ground. "Chill out it is just me Mark, I just lifted you out of the smoke so you can breathe fresh air." He laughed before sticking his tongue out at me. "Are ye having fun yet?" All I did was cross my arms and shook my head, he giggled and placed me on the ground again before setting a big box in front of me. "Now this one is gonna be a bit loud but nothin' compared to the other shit I got." 

All I could do was shudder when he lit it, scooped me up and ran. I covered my ears as a loud boom and shrieking came from the box, the once dark night lit up in a mass of colors. The light dimmed and I was left with a loud ringing in my ears as well as Jack wooing at the sight.  My body shook with anxiety as I curled up in Jack's pocket. 

The loud noises continued, the darkness scattered each time a firework was lit as the two values fought for dominance, but each time the fireworks died darkness ruled over. I was riddled with anxiety (heh heh, inside joke here) the night lasted forever, my eyes drooped with exhaustion and I fell asleep. 

I remember waking up several times getting different glances at different surroundings. Eventually Jack went inside and laid on his bed I know this because I woke up to him situating himself. He also gently placed me on his chest with his hand laid across me so I stayed limb but was awake none the less. 

I then drifted to a deep sleep full of nightmares and the echos of fireworks: It was dark, I was outside, the cool night breeze sent chills over my body, I was alone I called out for Jack with no response. A light grew in the distance and an ear piercing noise drew closer to me, I soon realized the fireworks chasing me I began to ran as fast as I could. The chaser pushed against my back and I was sent into the sky, I awaited the boom to come but was soon awaken as a soft voice spoke to me. 

Jack's POV

After quite a few fireworks I went inside since Mark was already asleep, once I got settled I slept for awhile before I felt Mark moving under my hand. I sat up slightly to see him he was sweating and shaking like a leaf. I used my index finger to gently pet his back while I whispered softly to him, 'Hey Mark it's gonna be okay, you're okay, shh, shh, you're gonna be alright..' Eventually his shaking stopped and a small whimper escaped his lips before he looked up at me teary eyed. I pet his head softly and he weakly smiled at me before snugging into my shirt. I added my other hand for more weighted comfort and we drifted off into a deep slumber.

A/N sorry this is a bit short, it is a second part to the last chapter so it is to be expected. I plan to have the next chapter out by Saturday.
