jack saw mark day dreaming about and he giggled a bit and smiled more, but it quickly faded away when he realized he  had to get home. he sighed and looked mark, "well, i gotta go, see ya tomorrow " he said and was going to start walking the way to his house when he felt someone grab his arm. Mark didn't know what he was doing when he grabbed Jack's arm, even less when he hugged Jack.

jack blushed a bit but smiled and hugged mark back. Mark didn't even know why he hugged Jack, he just did, and when Jack hugged back, he felt thankful for what he decided. Mark slowly pulled away and blushed, letting go of Jack, again, already missing the feeling. " see you tomorrow" Mark smiled and ran home, his heart beating out of his chest.

Jack smiled softly as his face slowly started turning red And he started to walk home. Mark arrived home and walked inside only to be greeted by his mother, standing in front of him with her arms crossed...

Jack walked inside and walked upstairs and sat down on his bed. "What?" Mark asked. "You're late... again" She growled. "I was doing a project with someone..." Mark shrugged. "You liar... You can't do ANYTHING! How the fuck dare you!?" She spat at him. Mark's anger bubbled in as she kept insulting him, "SHUT UP" He yelled, instantly regretting it. She looked angrier and then... Mark felt a pain in his nose, eye and cheek... She had punched him twice and slapped him, "Go to your room, you ungrateful mistake" Mark ran to his room and locked the door. He walked to his bathroom and looked in the mirror... he had a black eye, his nose was bleeding and his lip was busted. 'How the fuck will I explain this when people ask?' Mark asked himself. 

Jack was day dreaming until he heard, "SEAN!!" Jack sighed and got off his bed and walked downstairs. Mark sat on his bed, a few tears ran down his cheeks as he tried to forget about what just happened and then... his thoughts trailed off to Jack, making a small smile appear on his face.

  Jack walked in the living to see his mom, his mom hugged him tightly, "where were you, I was so worried!" She said. "I was walking home with a friend" jack said blushing a bit. Jack's mom sighed and smiled a bit at jack, "ok and who is this 'friend of yours?" His mom asked. "His name is mark" jack said blushing a bit more. Jack's mom laughed at Jack's blushing face and was happy he made a friend. Mark could fall asleep peacefully due to Jack being in his thoughts. He was thankful that Jack and him got to be friends.

Jack walked back upstairs after telling his mom about mark, he layed in bed and fell asleep with a warm smile on his face. -next morning- Mark woke up, got ready for school and looked in the mirror, seeing he still had a black eye, a small bruise on his nose and a busted lip. He sighed and put on a jacket, the hood over his head to cover at least a bit of his face. He started walking to school, his head down, still trying to hide his face...
