MARKS P.O.V. CORNFLAKES, FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

'Bye Anna, it was nice talking to ya. Here ya go honey,' you hear your crony say. You think that they look so cute together, as a couple. Yet, what bothers you is that Jacks his eyes still look so dull. As if the spark of joy deep within has (at last) been taken by the darkness

You look at Matthias, one of your best friends. He seems to be less enjoying this than you are. But you thought, him of all people, would understand this strange couple the best. You think he can understand how this is for Jack. All of this is so new for that little Irishman of yours.

Jack fixes his eyes on Matthias and smiles his bright smile, warming your heart until it is completely melted. Matthias knows he has to smile, so he does. With a smile so hollow and meaningless that it is almost offensive.

You wait for him to make one of his classy jokes, who would make anyone in this room laugh. A sudden silence fills the apartment and Jacks smile fades away until there is no hint of its existence.

You know Jack, and you know he is panicking in that small head of his. You see how he starts to play with sleeves he doesn't have. And as Matthias continues torturing your crony with his glace, Y/N walks away with her phone.

You see the disappointment in Jacks eyes, because he is waiting for that joke. He is waiting for something to break thus uneasy silence. And there he stands, waiting for a miracle.

'Take a seat,' Matthias says in a more commanding way. You are fully disagreeing with how Matthias is taking care of this, but you need to know what he wants to discuss. And at the end your curiosity wins, so as jack doesn't respond to Matthias his words, you ask him if he is going to sit down.

Jack cringes lightly as he glances your way. You realize how surprised he looks, and how abandoned he stands in front of you, with no one protecting him from the words that will be fired his way. You feel guilty, but know that you can't stop what you've started.

Jack frowns as he takes a seat at the very end of the sofa, putting as much space in between him and you. But you are not going to leave it there; you stand up only to sit down next to your small bean.

It will make the conversation less... less touching and heartbreaking, because you see in Matthias his eyes that this talk is not going to be an easy one. And it will break various hearts.

Jack turns into a ball of pure nervousness, playing with his fingers and ticking with his foot on the floor. He shakes his head slightly and his green hair is going everywhere. You notice how he bits his lip, a move he only does when he wants to say something but thinks it is not right to do.

At the end the words come out and you are a little bit shocked by how angry Jack sounds. Jack is almost NEVER angry, and if he is, he would walk away for some air for the reason he know it will pass. But now, he sounds angrier than he has been in years.

'What is it about?'

You recognize the scared look on Jacks face, as if he couldn't believe either how his tone changed within seconds. Matthias seems absolutely shocked, completely stunned. You just look at your friend with pity, you know a bit of what's going lately and you know how hard it must be for him.

Jack hates it when people feel sorry for him, but you can't help to feel a bit sad. You know what is going on with him, roughly. And that is what tears you up inside the most.

'It's about Y/N,' Matthias says in his casual voice. As if no one can touch him and that this conversation will be the easiest he has ever had. But you feel how Jack is tensing up, ready to jump towards Matthias.

You hold him back with your strong arms, as much as you are disagreeing with how Matthias is talking, you don't think it is fear to let Jack kill him. And so you push Jack against the sofa, merciless and hard.

You whisper some calming words towards your friend, who is ignoring you completely. You see how Jack is boiling with anger, ready to burst open and kill anything and anyone on his path to destruction.

'What is with her?' Jack says, exacerbating the words in his mind until they are deadly. And as he fires the sentence Matthias his way, they struck him so hard that he cannot think of a proper response.

Jack has made fully clear that he doesn't want to be part of this talk and is a 100% against it. You tell Matthias to not go down this road any further but that stupid man doesn't listen to your warning.

'You only know her for a few days, maybe a week or two. And you already started dating her? Why man? You don't even know her,' Matthias says without any emotion in his voice. You are shocked to the core and freeze on your place. Jack has forgotten how to react to, but he wasn't thinking about something very differently than you were.

You let Jack go, if he would jump towards Matthias and kick his ass, you wouldn't even blink. What Matthias asked, is unacceptable. Why would he question the young couple? He hasn't see them go through hell, yet still he doubt them.

Jack jumps up and takes some loud steps towards Matthias, he bends over and holds his face only inches away from that of his friends. Horror and fear is eating Matthias alive, as Jack comes even closer towards him.

'Because I love her. Do you even know what that is MAN?! I love her, and I am sure as hell not going to dump her because prince charming doesn't like how we met?!' Jack screams in his ears. And as Matthias has had the final hit to mental death, Jack clearly isn't done yet.

'Fuck off!' he screams angry before he leaves the personal space from his friend and storms out off the apartment. He closes the door loudly, only to make clear how angry he is.

You stand up too, fully ignoring Matthias. What he did was wrong, but being angry at him is not the right way to show that. So you decide to leave it there, by only one sentence.

'I am disappointed in you,' you say and Matthias breaks even more, until all the pieces that once were your friend are unable to be glued together. And as you walk away towards to bathroom to check on Y/N, you hear him say something.

'Sorry.'

'Sorry isn't going to change what happened and you know that. So the next time they have a date, you are going to make sure it is one of their best. Repay them, not with money, but with memories.'

You always had a feel for speeches; you could always come out of your words pretty easily. And you could change your thoughts into words within seconds. You could choose which word you wanted to hurt most, and which had to be in the background to make your sentences hurt even more.

You get a text just before you want to open the door of the bathroom. And as you look on your phone to know who it is, you sigh. It is your friend, completely ignoring what has just happened.

Jack: Tell Y/N that I pick her up at nine.

You type back as quickly as you can, worried that something might happen. You want to know where your friend's up to. So you decide to ask a question you know is never going to get a response.

You: Where are you going?

You were right; you never did get a response from your friend. But you know he has read it, because the two blue check marks betray him.
