(Jack's P.O.V.)

I groan softly, waking up slowly. Everything hurts so much... Why does everything hurt? That's right... Chase. Wait, Mark saw. Mark! My eyes snap open and I sit up quickly, immediately regretting it. 

"Ow..." I mumble, laying back down and putting a hand to my now aching head. 

"Welcome back Seán." Someone says my name, but it isn't Mark. I open my eyes again to see a doctor standing at the foot of the bed. Only now is it clear to me that I'm in a hospital. 

"Um...Thanks?" I ask, confused. Was I really that hurt? The doctor smiles and comes over to the side of the bed to talk to me. 

"You've been asleep for a couple hours now. You're pretty uninjured besides that cut on your chest. A broken rib, sprained wrist. And a minor concussion. But other than that, you should be fine. I already talked to your boyfriend, who's outside waiting. He wouldn't leave without you. You're cleared to go whenever you'd like." I'm speechless. I guess I am that hurt. Oh god, what am I going to say to Mark? 

"Uh, alright. Thank you." I say. The doctor nods once more, and leaves. In only a second Mark is running into the room. 

"Oh my god Seán! What the hell happened?!" He asks, rushing up to me and hugging me, though he doesn't hug to tight. I hug back, burying my head in his shoulder. 

"Uh..." I try to think of an excuse. And I finally reach one. "I can't remember." I say. He sighs, backing away from the hug. 

"That's what I was afraid of. The doctor said it was possible you wouldn't remember what happened cause of the concussion. And no one else was there to the best of my knowledge, so we can't find out what happened." He says, upset. But he does believe me. I think... He looks at me and smiles softly. "I'm just glad you're okay." He says. I smile too and nod. 

"Yeah... Me too."

We drove to Marks house after that, and we called Ma saying I was gonna stay overnight at Marks. Well, we explained what happened, and then she had a little freakout, and then she agreed that I could stay at Marks. It was silent the whole drive, and now we're just laying on his bed, cuddling. 

"Jack." Mark says softly. I look up at him, humming in response. "You sure you don't remember?" He asks, looking at me. I shake my head quickly. 

"Not a thing." I say, but apparently I was to quick. He frowns, sitting up, and in doing so making me sit up as well. 

"Jack if someone is hurting you, I want to know." He says. I chuckle, shaking my head. 

"Mark, no one is hurting me. I don't remember what happened. Just leave it alone, alright?" I ask, but he shakes his head. 

"No I won't leave it alone! You're always hurt, and you... You aren't yourself." He confesses. My eyes widen. I'm not...Myself? How? What am I doing that isn't like me? 

"I'm fine Mark." I say, laying back down and turning over on my side. "Night." I whisper, wanting him to just leave me the hell alone about it. He sighs, laying down as well. 

"Jack please just talk to me. I can help you." He says, speaking softly. I shake my head. 

"I don't need help! Everything is fine!" I say, trying to shake off his hand that's on my shoulder. 

"You keep getting hurt. Tell me one reasonable explanation for that!" And of course, I can't think of one. So I stay silent. "I want you to be happy. I want you to stop hurting. So please, let me help you." He pleads, and it breaks my heart. For a split second I think about telling him. But only for a second. 

"Everything's fine." I say sadly, a tear falling from my eye. 

"Seán..." He whispers, turning me around to see the tears slowly falling down my face. He frowns, wiping the tears away. "Don't cry..." I shake my head, burying my face in his chest. But I don't cry. After those few tears, no more come. Something I'm grateful for. "I'm sorry for bugging you about it. I just... I love you so much and I'm tired of seeing you hurt." Mark says softly, playing with my hair gently. I nod slowly. 

"I love you too." Is all I say in return. And that's the end of the conversation, and the end of the day, because before we know it, we're both asleep.
