(Author note- I'm sorry if the last two chapters were rushed but I was panicking about a project that I had to get done because it was due yesterday. So that's why I was in a rush to get the two chapters done and I'm sorry if they were rushed. But I'm sure this time they won't be. )

"Good, I see you're more happier now" jack said laughing a bit and smiled at mark. Mark nodded a bit, pulling out a dollar. "Yeah! I-i even found a dollar! S-sweet, huh?" He started to walk a little bit faster so the two could actually get out of this mean school. Since he swore he could hear someone faintly say, 'Broken Record' from behind him.

"That's cool!" Jack said smiling. Once the two were of school, jack looked at mark. "Do you want to do anything or do you want to just go home? I'm fine with either one you pick" he said softly looking into Mark's soft brown eyes. Mark blinked, blushing slightly as he stared back into Jack's eyes. "O-oh, um" he glanced around him for a second, then shrugged. "I don't r-really care, actually. " his voice was kinda quiet, but he didn't sound sad. So that's good.

"Ok" jack said looking away. Mark lightly bit down on his tongue, head lowering slightly since he wasn't 100% sure what to say next. And besides, no one liked hearing his stutter, so if he stayed silent then less people would be mad. Wow. What a weird positive for being silent. They kept walking.

Jack phone suddenly went off and he took it out and answered it, "hello?" He said putting the phone up to his ear. "is this Sean William McLoughlin?" A voice asked. "Um....yes, why?" Jack asked starting to sweat a bit, "your dad was injured with a 3rd degree burns from saving a solider from a bomb explosion" the voice explained. (DON'T JUDGE MY LOGIC!!! XD) jack gasped, "is he okay?!!?!" He asked worriedly. "Yes but he has to stay here longer." The voice said. Jack sighed, "ok" he said simply before hanging up. He was looking at the floor tears threaten to fall. Mark blinked as he stared at the other, kinda confused and why he gasped and now seemed..... Sad. "H-hey..... A-are you o-o-okay..?" He whispered, head slightly tilting as he looked at jack.

Jack couldn't hold it in anymore and he covered his face and started to cry. Mark flinched, now weirdly getting a little shaky. "O-oh geez! O-o-oh gosh! I-i- I didn't mean to- uh, i-i, mm.." He stuttered and looked around as if someone was actually do something. Which nothing, really happened. Expect the fact that this super punk kid was now crying in front of him. "H-hey, jack i-it's... I-it's-... Shhhhh..." He moved a shaky hand up to gently pat the others back.
