Author's Note:
Alright, so this fan fic is based off of Jackspeticeye's "Emily Is Away" video because it gave me so many feels, I felt like I knew that girl and the struggles Jack and her were going through. I put my own spin on it and produced something that is different, get ready for a feels trip.

Fan fiction contains small amount of coarse language, minor mention of alcohol, self-harm, adult themes and emotional abuse. Read at your own discretion, also small note Markiplier does make an appearance in this fic but his role is rather minor.

Sam Is Away - The Prologue

I suppose if I'm gonna tell my story I should start by introducing myself. My name is Samantha Collins, at the time I'm writing this I am 23 years old. I have long brown hair with green streaks (although it wasn't always that way), blue eyes, light brown skin and a curvy but slightly chubby build. Yet miraculously I have an amazing man who loves all that and more, this is the story of how I met him and how our relationship flourished. This is how I met Jacksepticeye or Sean as I know him better as, this all started a little while ago…

Lauren's Party - 2009

This began at a party when I was 17, my older sister Lauren was graduating high school and all of her class were having a graduation party at this popular kid's house. I tried calling my then boyfriend, Randy, to see if he was still coming or not. He didn't pick up however, my sister came over to me. "C'mon sis, don't worry about him. Let's go party!" Lauren said, she wooed to her friends and they wooed back. Looking at Lauren you could've sworn that we weren't sisters, she wore dresses and kept her hair natural and me, I rocked flannel shirts and ripped skinny jeans. I also used to put crazy coloured streaks in my hair, actually I still do that to be honest, I went with green because how awesome is green hair?

I met up with my friends inside, Emily, Chet and Mike. We just chilled out, had a couple of beers and had a good time. My sister on the other hand was completely smashed, she was playing all the drinking games, making out with all the guys and had a crazy good time. I thought she might need a drink of water so I ran over to the drinks table and got her a cup of water, I didn't notice a drunk 19 year old Irish guy stumble over until he made me accidently spill my drink. "Whoa, sorry there. Didn't notice ya." He said in his thick Irish accent. "It's fine, just thought my sister needed a drink was all." I said, wiping the water off my red flannel. "Who's your sister?" The Irishman asked. "That's her over there." I said, pointing over to my drunken sister pulling down her short black dress.

"So you're Lauren's sister. I hear you're a good guitarist and an even better singer." He said. "Haha, she told you that huh? Anyway my name is Sam." I said to the Irishman. "Sean, but my friends call me Jack." He said, introducing himself. "Oh yeah, I've heard about you. You were a foreign exchange student at our school, graduated last year yeah?" I said. "Yeah, had my nineteenth not too long ago." Jack said. "It was nice meeting you Jack. I'll see you around." I said. "Yeah, I'll see you around. Take care of yourself, Sam." Jack said. "Thanks, you too." I said.

Luckily Randy showed up. "Hey, sorry I'm late." He said. Sorry I'm late, that was the line that I was most used to with him. I couldn't depend on him, but I decided not to argue about it as I thought it would've been pointless. We had a good time however, up until my sister started dancing with her friends to that Cobra Starship song…what's it called, "Good Girls Gone Bad." That was her jam and she got into it and accidently hit one of the guys on the school's football team, he went to swing and ended up hitting another football player. Things only escalated here and then the whole party turned into a riot, I did the only thing I could do and hid under a table.

That was after my boyfriend heroically ran away from me like a little girl, I was scared and frightened. Someone could hear me and reached under the table. "Sam! C'mon, we have to go!" Jack yelled. I took his hand and then we both ran away from the party, it was timely as well, the police showed up and busted the party up. Jack and I ran for a long time, both needing to stop and take a breath. We found ourselves a fair way away from the party and decided instead to just walk around for a bit and chill out. "So you graduate next year, that's exciting right?" Jack asked, genuinely excited for me. "I'm more or less nervous." I shyly said. "Why are you nervous?" Jack asked. "I'm just not sure if any music schools will take me." I said, rather glumly as well.

"Sam, listen to me. You can do it, your sister tells me you're great at singing and with a guitar. Just go for it because you can achieve it!"Jack said. "Thanks, I guess I need a good push sometimes. Oh shit, my sister! I should give her a call!" I said, I didn't need to do though. She pulled up beside me and drunkenly asked me. "Hey sis, you need a ride anywhere?" She slurred at me. "No, I think I'll go and stay at Jack's." I answered. "Ok, just don't get too crazy." She said. I scoffed and said rather shocked. "Lauren!" "Don't worry Lauren, I'll take care of her." Jack said. "Alright there Lucky Charms, just keep it in your pants she's seventeen." Lauren said, her friends and her driving away.

"Seventeen, you know what that means?" Jack asked. "Hey that rhymes, you're a poet and you didn't know it." I said, giggling slightly. "I was gonna say… #You are the Dancing Queen, young and free only seventeeeeeeeeeennnnnn!#" Jack sang, rather badly as well. I laughed anyway because he got so into his own singing, he smiled and we eventually found a place to just sit and star gaze. We looked up there and talked for hours, I got to know Sean some more. I got to know him as an awesome, caring, smart and a really loving guy with a great amount of energy. I really liked being around with him, but like a cruel weight on my back I suddenly got a text.

'Hey babe, sorry I bailed on u back at the party. We still kool? ;) xoxo' Randy texted me, I responded even though I wasn't happy with him. The night wasn't all bad, I got to meet an awesome guy and we managed to talk for hours on end. Jack and I always kept up with each other as well, whether it was in person or back on MSN Messenger. Yeah, we're that old ha ha ha.
