The one

Hold a lover close.

Third person POV:
The odd incident hadn't left Jack or Marks mind. But the only other things occupying their thoughts were food and each other. Mark spoke up:
"Jack I'm just going to go and get some groceries. I might be a while."
Jack nodded. Mark's voice had no emotion whatsoever but Jack didn't question it. He was stuck in a trance, almost as if someone had hypnotised him. As Mark left, the Irish man felt the sudden urge to go to the park down the road. His mind was telling him no but his feet weren't listening, he made his way to the door grabbed his coat and keys and briskly walked to the park. When he arrived he wasn't expecting to see...

Jacks POV:
I got to the park quicker than expected. I scanned the area, but what caught my eye was an unusual sight. Mark was sat on a tree trunk with his guitar. Wait. I thought he went to get food?! I slowly made my way towards him. I hid behind a tree listening to the words he sang:
Head under water
And they tell me to breathe easy for a while
The breathing gets harder, even I know that
Made room for me but it's too soon to see
If I'm happy in your hands
I'm unusually hard to hold on to

Blank stares at blank pages
No easy way to say this
You mean well, but you make this hard on me

I'm not gonna write you a love song
'cause you asked for it
'cause you need one, you see
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'cause you tell me it's make or break in this
If you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to stay
If all you have is leaving I'ma need a better reason to write you a love song today, today

I learned the hard way
That they all say things you want to hear
And my heavy heart sinks deep down under you and your twisted words,
Your help just hurts
You are not what I thought you were
Hello to high and dry

Convinced me to please you
Made me think that I need this too
I'm trying to let you hear me as I am

I was snapped out of my trance

I'm not gonna write you a love song
'cause you asked for it
'cause you need one, you see
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'cause you tell me it's make or break in this
If you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to stay
If all you have is leaving I'ma need a better reason to write you a love song today

I emerged from behind the tree and sang the next few verses with him.

Promise me that you'll leave the light on
To help me see with daylight, my guide, gone
'cause I believe there's a way you can love me
Because I say

I won't write you a love song
'cause you asked for it
'cause you need one, you see
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'cause you tell me it's make or break in this

Is that why you wanted a love song?
'cause you asked for it
'cause you need one, you see
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'cause you tell me it's make or break in this
If you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to stay
If your heart is nowhere in it
I don't want it for a minute
Babe, I'll walk the seven seas when I believe that there's a reason to write you a love song today, today

I smiled at Mark but instead of returning it he gave me an expressionless look. I could feel my smile fading. What was up with him?

Mark's POV:
Do I know this guy? He seems familiar but from where, I don't know. He seems to know who I am and that scares me a little. Where have I seen him before? God, this was going to irritate the shit out of me for the rest of the day. He smiled at me but I didn't return it. I saw his ocean blue eyes turn to a light shade of black, well more of an off grey. It sounded like he snarled at me. Hold the phone! Did he just snarl at me?! Who or what does this guy think he is?!

Jacks POV:
I could feel my body tensing up. I'm not sure why but it did. A noise escaped my mouth, it sounded like a snarl. WOAH NELLY!!! Did I just snarl at a guy who has forgotten me?! Bloody Nora I need help... I'm not entirely sure what I just did or why but I turned away and made my way back to Mark's. I don't know why he probably wouldn't be happy to find a 'stranger' in his house. Come visit my world... "Who the fuck said that?!" I shouted to a random wall. I spin myself around wondering why my instinct was to shout at the wall... I thought you trusted me Jack! "Mark?!" What the fuck was happening?! All of a sudden the lights went out. I let out a small scream not expecting it, I heard the front door creak open slowly... Am I about to die in my lovers house?! I asked myself. Shit, what do I even do?! I can't move without most likely bumping into something or the someone who just walked through the bloody door!! I was panicking now, and I couldn't control my breathing. It was heavy and was probably giving away my location to the nutter/murderer/robber/psycho in the fucking room. My legs turned to jelly, tears rolling down my face. I fell to my knees but without a sound surprisingly. Where the fuck is Mark when I need him most?! More tears rolled down my cheeks, I clamped my eyes shut not wanting to open them in fear of being killed or something.

Mark's POV:
I made my way back from the park only to remember who the guy was! It was almost as if someone had shut my brain off. The guy was Jack! Ahh shit Mark you have messed up big time buddy... I thought to myself. I ran back to mine almost tripping on several occasions. I could tell something was wrong from the obvious fact that my front door was open and all the lights were off. I cautiously walked in. "Jack? Jack are you okay?!" I didn't get a response, only the sound of a small whimper from the corner of the room, I reached for the light switch to turn the lights on. As the light illuminated the room I could see Jack curled up in a ball on the living room floor crying silently. I kneeled beside him and put an arm around his shoulders, he looked up at me and screamed and backed away. His blue eyes were the same off grey they were earlier but darker. He blinked and looked back at me. His eyes slowly turning back to blue, what the hell happened to him?

Jacks POV:
"Jack? Jack are you okay?!"
I whimpered in response. I could tell the lights came back on but still didn't open my eyes until I felt an arm around my shoulders I looked at the person next to me. It was Matt I screamed and backed away. I blinked and looked back at him, only to see that it was Mark. I shuffled back to him and brought him into a hug. He hugged me back, I was trembling in fear... What happened? Mark picked me up bridal style and carried me to his bedroom. He set me down on the bed pulling off my shoes and tucking me under the sheets, he got in beside me giving me a comforting hug. I snuggled into his chest and clinging on tightly to his shirt not wanting to let go anytime soon. I could feel my eyelids becoming heavy and I drifted off into sleep.

???'s POV:
Why didn't it work? It's should have worked! What happened?! Dam it. I'm gonna have to try harder next time... Which is soon... Very soon!

Btw please excuse the video at the start of this chappie I have no idea what it is apart from a really cool Panic! At the disco song. I don't know why they are wearing fish tanks on their heads. I'm just as confused as you lot! Anyway I will see all you guys in the next chapter!!! Xxx

P.S. I'm sorry it took me a while to upload I have been doing some 'research' on how I wanted this to pan out. Basically I read a hella lot of books. 😋😊 xxx
