(Marks P.O.V)
I woke up the next morning to here knocking on my bedroom door.
"Mark sweetie, someone's here to see you." My mom says. I groan.
"Coming." I respond sleepily. I get up and put on some jeans and my flannel. I walk downstairs to see the one and only Tyler. I smile big and run to him. I give him a quick hug. He holds me at arms length.
"You look great." He says.
"So do you bud. I missed you." I say.
"Are you ready?" He asks.
"What do you mean?" I ask.
"Aren't you going with us to the arcade? Signe asked you yesterday." He says.
"Oh yeah, just give me a sec." I say. I sprint up the stairs and take the quickest shower I've ever taking in my life. I put my flannel back on and then I grab some new jeans. I grab and put on my red converse and black beanie and go downstairs. Tyler is waiting in the car for me.
"Bye mom! Love you!" I say before leaving. She's in the kitchen.
"Bye love!" She says.
I get in Tyler's car and we go to the arcade. I see Signe and the back of a green haired man's head in a booth. She waved us over and we walk to them. I sit next to Signe to see the strangers face. Tyler scoots in next to the man. He looks up from his phone and I see his face clearly.
"Hi." Is all he says.
"Are you a youtuber by any chance?" I ask. He looks familiar.
"In fact, yes I am. Sean but friends call me Jack." He holds out a hand for me to shake. I shake it.
"So Jacksepticeye?" I ask.
"Yup." He replies.
"So are we all gonna play some games or what?" Tyler asks.
"Hell yeah!" Signe responds. Me and Jack nod our heads. I give $5 to the cashier and he gives me quarters in return. Jack does the same and he gets his quarters. We go over to PAC man and I start the game.
"So, how did you meet Signe?" I ask mostly focused on the game.
"Rehab..." I think he says but I don't think I heard him clearly.
"What?" I ask.
"Rehab." He says a little louder.
"Oh." I didn't know either of them went to rehab. I've been watching his vids on and off for awhile. Never heard him mention rehab. Neither Signe.
"Yea." Jack says.
"Can I tell you something?" I say turning away from the game. He looks me up and down hesitantly. I don't know why but I just feel like I can open up to him.
"Ok, go ahead." Jack says.
I sigh. "I do drugs Jack." He looks surprised. I would be too. Especially the way I make my character seem for social media and all. That's right it's a character. I forget that sometimes.
"Why?" He asks.
"Stress. New band that became so known so fast and being on tour for decades it feels like, it puts a lot on me." I say with a big huff of breath.
"Ok. Understandable. Come to our rehab one day. You won't be alone with us two there. And it'll only be my second time. So I'm still fairly new as well." He says. I nod.
"I'll try to come Jack." I say.
"Promise?" Jack asks.
"Yes Jack. I promise." I say. He holds out a pinky. I chuckle. He blushes. Honestly wouldn't know why. I wrap my pinky around his and we shake our hands like that. We get back to the game. Trust. He has my trust. And I know he'll keep it.

So, Mark trusts Jack already huh? Wow. We'll see what happens at rehab. Let's see what happens next shall we?
