" Babe how would I know a drunk guy was going to shoot you?" Mark replied. He looked hurt that Jack would think that.
Jacks heart exploded. Mark had just called him babe! Just earlier he had heard him say husband. It had been three months of being married but it was all worth it. Marks thick voice sounded like velvet, kinda like how babe sounded in the song Sarah Smiles.( I'm Panic trash..)
He was so mesmerized that he hadn't heard the nurse asking him a question.
" I'm sorry wut?" Jack asked.
" Sir do you want him in here while we get the bullet out. " she replied. Jack jumped up.
" Hell ya he is my husband God!" He screeched. The lady looked embarrassed.
He held Jacks hand through the process. Mark flinched every time Jack groaned. He felt horrible, it was his fault. He made fun of the man and the man was sick of it. He might have not shot Jack if they backed off. Jack groaned loudly.
" Sean its okay babe, shh it's almost out." Mark said sweetly kissing Jack.
" Sir can we have your permission to put his on gas? It will hurt less." The nurse asked. Mark looked at Jack and nodded.
The nurse put a air mask over jacks mouth and pressed the button. The air hissed into jacks mouth and he breathed. After a minute his eyes got droopy. Mark knew it was rude but he recorded Jack on his phone.
" Mawk I forgot to get malk today at da store..." Jack said groggily.
" No Jack we got it. You forgot the yogurt. How do ya feel hon?" Mark replied.
" Mawk I luv when ya call meh babe and honeh and husband. Imma call ya doll now k?" Jack said. Mark laughed and jacks eyes slowly shut.
The nurse wrapped jacks leg and gave him some rest. She tried to get Mark out of the room but he refused. She looked annoyed but Mark didn't care. His baby needed him and he would stay until Jack left. He stayed awake all night and stared at Jack. He sat at the edge of the bed waiting until he was needed. He saw the nurses stare and talk about him. He didn't know what they were saying but he thought he heard,
" gay, hot, annoying, short, sexy, awake." But he didn't care.
Jack woke up after 6 hours of deep sleeping. When he opened his eyes he saw Mark staring at him. Mark smiled his wide smile and leaned in and kissed Jack. Jack smiled back and asked.
" When are we leaving?", and Mark laughed.
" When ever you want to babe," Mark replied.
" Right now doll." He replied.
He kissed Mark and sat up. The nurses rushed in and gave Mark tons of papers. He groaned and started reading. He gave Jack his phone and turned on the video of him on gas. Jack laughed loudly and nearly chocked. Me mocked saying Mawk and laughed harder. Mark finished the papers and gave them to the lady, she gave them crutches. They walked out of the hospital.
Jack complained about his videos the whole way out. Mark just sighed and kept walking, not caring that Jack wanted him to upload for him. Mark helped Jack into the car and got in the drivers side. He started the car and drove balk home.
" Mark?" Jack asked after a couple minutes
" What?"
" We never got anything from the mall."
" Your point?"
" Should we go back?"
"NO!"
They sat in silence the rest of the way. Jack looked over at Mark. He looked tired, and stressed. Jack's leg ached but if he even touched it he would freak Mark out. He looked at Mark's wrist. It had been almost 3 months that he stopped cutting. His scares were still there but they were small. Thin little white marks a crossed his tan skin. He tried to cover them but he never could. Jack turned on the radio and found a song.
" And tonight on bbc station we have the cast of 'The Wizard Of Oz Live' singing there own hits. First, scarecrow singing If I Only Had a Brain" the radio spoke.
" I could while away the hours, conferrin' with the flowers, consultin' with the my head I'd be scratchin' while my thoughts were busy hatchin', If I only had a brain. I'd unravel every riddle for any individial,In trouble or in the thoughts I'd be thinkin' I could be another Lincoln,If I only had a brain." The radio sang. Mark laughed.
" Did you know that when you were asleep you sang this song? Right after you wanted to call me doll." Mark said.
Jack laughed. " We need to post that video."
