Thank you to @Suppup1700 for suggesting this.
A couple months past and Jack moved out of Mark's place and found a studio apartment a couple blocks away. He didn't do youtube anymore because he couldn't find a way to be happy. The only time he was happy now was when he was drunk. He had to buy more long sleeved shirts to hide the cuts. After a little while he stopped youtube he pushed all his friends away. The only time he would go outside was to buy more alcohol or to buy food. As time went on he got more and more depressed.
He started caring less and less about if people saw his cuts because he knew no one cared. He occasionally went on youtube and watched some of Mark's videos. He stopped doing that because every time he watched one of Mark's videos seeing he is all happy he would find his self passed out on the floor with his computer still on and he would be surrounded with glass cups and empty beer cans. He would also find some of the cans broken. He started eating less and hated the way he looked even more.

He stood up from the couch and walked to the fridge. He opened the fridge not seeing any alcohol. He slammed the fridge shut and walked over to the front door. He looked for his shoes and keys. He found his shoes and put them on. He grabbed his keys and walked out heading to his car. He made it to the grocery store and walked in going straight to the alcohol aisle. He grabbed a six pack walking over to the cashier. He paid for the beer and as he was walking out the cashier spoke up.
"Sir are you ok?" He asked as Jack stopped and turned around. He smiled and nodded his head. He turned back around having his smile fade right away. He walked out the store accidentally bumping into someone. He turned around looking up about to say sorry when he saw the one person he hasn't seen in months. "Sean?" Mark's deep voice made Jack shudder. "What?" He asked sounding harsh. "Are you ok?" Mark asked looking at the beer and the cuts on his arms.
"Why do you care?" He asked raising his arms a bit then turning around a bit only to be stopped by Mark grabbing his shoulder. "Come with me." He grabbed Jack's hand and walked next door to a nearby coffee shop. He got a seat and pulled it out waiting for Jack to sit down. Jack rolled his eyes and sat down on the other chair setting the six pack of beer on the table taking out a beer. Mark sat down and took the six pack and the beer away from Jack setting it on the floor next to him. "What the hell I bought that. Give it back." He said reaching over.
"No. Now tell me what's new with you." Mark asked leaning on the table. Jack rolled his eyes and leaned back into the chair crossing his arms. "Well I live alone, I constantly drink, I eat less, I quit youtube." Mark shakes his head making Jack stop. "Is this because of me?" Mark asks looking up at Jack. Jack looks down sighing. "I'll take that as a yes. Look i'm sorry I over reacted and I can't stop thinking about you. I want to say i'm sorry and I want to make up."
He leaned forward and rested his arms on the table trying to look into Jack's eyes. Jack looked up leaning on the table. "Tell me Mark. If you say you can't stop thinking about me why the hell didn't you call or text me?" Mark looks down in shame and sighs. "I don't know, but seeing what you've been through I'm mad at myself for not checking up on you. Please forgive me." Jack shakes his head leaning back on the chair. "No I can see you obviously don't care how I am. Im just going to take this and leave." He stood up and grabbed his beer.
He opened the beer in his hand and chugged it while walking to his car. He drove home drinking the beer and got out locking it. He got inside his house and placed the rest of the beers on the counter while he stumbled walking over to the couch. He laid on the couch drinking the last of the beer. He slowly closed his eyes dropping the bottle on the floor next to the couch.

Jack wakes up breathing heavily sitting up. He looks around the room then down onto the bed seeing Mark laying next to him rolling over wrapping his arms around Jack's waist. Mark opens is eyes and sees Jack sitting up breathing heavily. "What's wrong baby?" Mark asked sleepily opening and closing his eyes rubbing Jack's side. "Just another nightmare." Jack said rubbing his face trying to forget the dream. "Well whatever it was about im here your fine." Jack smiled and laid back down next to Mark. "Im glad I have you Mark." Jack said nuzzling closer to Mark. "Im glad your mine." Mark said hugging Jack tightly and falling back asleep.
