Chapter 11~

MERRY FRICKIN' CHRISTMAS! Hope everyone has an awesome holiday

I have a small feeling that this book may become much longer than 20 chapters because of how slow the pace is, We'll wait and see.

I might do some more fanart, but of them just by themselves and together because I'm trash.

Jack's pov ~

The awkward energy between us was thick, you could almost see it. I knew this wasn't going to work. How could it? The world isn't so keen on these kinds of relationships..wait...what am I thinking? This isn't supposed to happen! I froze as every daydream I'd ever had of getting married, having kids, and countless other things with an unnamed woman, they were collapsing now. Turning to dust.

Was this what I wanted? To be with...Mark?

Mark was just staring at me, his face red with embarrassment.

"I-I didn't mean to say that." He said, sweat beginning to form on his forehead.

I sighed and shook my head slowly.

"It's okay…" I trailed off.

He gave me a sad look as he moved his blue hair away from his eyes. I looked at him as something felt like it was glowing inside me...like I felt when I was with Wiishu. No...Please...I don't…

I felt like crying or yelling at him to stop, but I held it back. I have to go. Go back to my home. I can't have feelings for Mark if I come here twice a year.

"Stop it Mark….please." I whispered.

He raised a brow and put his arm out to touch my shoulder. I pushed it away and he gave me a worried look.

"I'm leaving tomorrow Mark! I..I can't!" I yelled, choked by a sudden sadness.

He gaped his mouth as if to say something as I stood up, and walked quickly to my room. I went inside and shut the door, then leaned against it. I slid down and sat there, my arms and face resting on my knees.

I have no idea how long I was there, but I snapped out of it as there was a soft knock on the door. I sighed and stood up, my cramped muscles and bones aching as I did. My hand shakily grabbed the doorknob and opened the door slowly. Mark was standing there, giving me a small smile. He went forward and hugged me, his warmth transferred to my cold body.

"It doesn't have to work Sean...I just want one more awesome night with you." He said.

I pulled away and looked at his eyes, the brown irises brighter than before. I smiled as my thoughts silenced, then hugged Mark back, pushing my face into his shoulder.

Apparently I was in my little place of sadness for like 3 hours, which left us with about two hours before I had to go to bed, so I wouldn't miss my flight. Mark put on "We're the Millers" and I made popcorn. We laughed at the same moments and messed with each other while the stupid movie was playing. Everything seemed to be resolved, we were acting like best friends, not like a couple. Which made me feel much better about the situation. After a long time of laughing and throwing popcorn at each other, I stood up.

"I'm going to bed...I'll wake you up after I do." I said.

Mark smiled and nodded.

That night I had the best sleep that I'd gotten in the last week. My mind was clear, and it felt like things would return to normal. We would forget that stupid kiss eventually, considering I forget things easily. And, we'd forget the incident with Mark. I know we will.

Getting up was 'fun'

At 5 Am, my annoying ass alarm clock went off. I got up immediately and made sure all of my stuff was out of the bathroom and living room. After I made sure, I went into Mark's room, so see him sleeping. I shook his shoulder until he opened his eyes sleepily. He sat up and stretched, before getting out of bed. He helped me put my stuff in the car, then hopped into the Driver's seat. He started the car and we drove towards the Airport. The drive was silent, like every drive we'd done since I'd arrived.

I turned on the radio and Mark raised a brow.

"You need to focus on the road." I said, as he glanced at me.

He smiled and continued driving. I looked at his bandaged arm, it made me hurt inside when I looked at it. Was he even supposed to be driving? I didn't remember the doctor saying he couldn't...and he seemed stable.

I pushed the thought away as we pulled into the airport parking lot. I felt grief rise inside me as Mark parked and got out of the car. He handed me my suitcase and smiled.

"It was good to have you here man." He said.

I smiled.

"Sorry, I practically made you take care of me." I said, referencing to my drunk self and last night.

He laughed a little and rubbed my hair.

"Nah, you were the one who kept me on my toes." He laughed.

I smiled and hugged him, he hugged back and I pulled away.

"I'll Skype ya when I get home." I said, as I slowly made my way into the building.

"Sounds like a plan Jack." He said, waving.

I waved back as I turned away from him, and walked into the building.

It was crowded as usual, with rude people pushing past me and snapping at me angrily. I walked towards my gate and went through a scanner then into the gate. I sat down and looked through my phone while I waited. I sighed as I cleared some junk emails and random YouTube stuff. That's when it struck me, I hadn't uploaded anything for 3 days. I almost facepalmed as I realized. I stopped when I heard yelling, I looked up to see people at the woman waiting at the gate. They were raising hell.

I stood up and walked over, trying to hear what was going on.

"You can't do this!" Someone yelled.

"We have to get there!" Another one called.

"I'm sorry everyone! There are no flights to the UK until November 20th!" The woman called.

I froze. That's three months away! What the hell? Why can't-

I stopped and glanced at my phone. Mark.

I grabbed my suitcase and ran out of the airport, while I dialed Mark's number. I ran and ran, trying to get to the exit. I pushed the call button as I got to the lobby. I was running out of breath as Mark answered.

"Jack? Aren't you supposed to be on your way to Ireland?" He asked, surprise in his tone.

"Y-yeah. B-but no flights until November. Pick me up." I said, my breathing ragged and short.

Happiness was making me run faster. I can have Mark. I can stay with him. He's the one I need.

"Okay Jack, I'll be there in a few minutes." He said, before hanging up.

I shoved my phone in my pocket as I continued running. People were giving me confused looks, but they were all a blur to me as I continued. I got to doors and went through them, and into the sunlight outside.

I stood there, breathing heavily as I saw a familiar car pulling up next to the curb. I smiled and ran again, as Mark got out of the car.

"Jack..have you been-"

I cut him off as I hugged him, I pulled away a little and grabbed his shirt collar. I smiled, then pulled him forward, smashing his lips against mine.

Sorry I wrote this chapter during Christmas
