I sighed and looked over at Mark who was cheerfully talking to the large crowd about some upcoming projects or whatever. I heard something about Wilford Warfstache, a community favourite but I'm not to sure. I tried my best to not look tired, and slowly turned my head back to the crowd and smiled and waved at some people. I was kept up basically all night after I woke up from this nightmare I keep having. I can't escape it. 

"Jack? You wanna answer some questions?" My train of thought was cut off by Mark tapping me on the shoulder. "O-oh yeah! Sure!" I replied with a fake smile. "Uuhm, you in the front with the Booper Dooper hoodie." I said pointing at a girl in the front row. She smiled and said her name and asked a question. 

"Oh my favourite Mark ego eh? My favourite Mark ego is Mark himself!" I joked, leaning over and hugging Mark making him chuckle. "No but seriously, I really love the Darkiplier character. Yeah it's "generic" and "the one everyone picks" but I really think he does a good job portraying him!!" I replied with a huge smile and a quiet giggle. The girl nodded and laughed as well. 

"Glad to know you even watch my videos Jack." Mark said sarcastically, narrowing his eyes at me for a few seconds. 

An hour went by and the panel was finally over. Mark thanked everybody and we all waved as we headed backstage. "H-hey guys, I'm gonna go, I'm not feeling too well." I bit my lip. "Oh, alright." Mark replied almost instantly. "Hope ya feel better for tomorrow!" Felix smiled as he wrapped his arm around me. "Yeah.. me too.." I muttered as I hung my head down and got going, without any other byes. 

Once I was finally at my hotel room I flopped down on my bed and stared at the ceiling. I had had a huge headache for the past half hour and I felt dizzy.  Some would suggest sleeping, but no, sleeping would just cause me to have that awful nightmare again. 

Well, there is one thing that changes with with each passing night. 

I get hurt even worse. 

In each dream, I get more and more weak. But I don't know what causes it. The only things I can really remember from those dreams are... blood... screaming... and this one weird dude who looks a lot like me except... I don't know, demonic? He has two black eyes I know that for sure. 

Ding

I jumped and was broke out of my little fantasy world when I heard my phone ding in my pocket. 

I slowly pushed myself up and reached for my phone. "Oh, it's from Signe." I smiled and sighed. 

Signe: Hey Sean! How's PAX so far??

Sean: Great :D 

Signe: Aww that's great! Sorry I couldn't make it, actually sorry I'm gonna be gone for about 3 months :/

Sean: It's okay, I understand 

Signe: Thankss, hey I've gotta go, miss you <3

Sean: Miss you too <3

I smiled at my phone and gently lid it down on the nightstand. I was about to rest when I heard a knock at my hotel room door. "Hey Sean??" It was Felix. 

I groaned and jogged to the door and swung it open. "Oh hey Felix, hey Mark, hey Wade." I smiled at them. "Hey so we were wondering if you were feeling any better?" Mark asked, it was quite obvious that he had more to say. "Y-yeah, why?" I stuttered and started biting at my nails out of habit. "Good, because we were wondering if you wanted to come have dinner with us? There's a cool restaurant we want to try a little down the road from here." Felix explained, pointing in the direction of this place. 

"Oh sure! Sounds fun!" I cheerfully replied. "Hold up let me get ready and grab some stuff, you guys can come in if you want." I offered, opening the door wider and stepping out of the way. Well, they took that offer. 

"Wow Jack. Seems lonely here." Wade teased as he looked around my large hotel room. "It is. Any of you three wanna stay with me for the next few days." I said sarcastically, doing some weird hand gestures and poses to go along with my comments. I looked over at Mark who was digging through my bag and raised an eyebrow at him. "Mark, what the shit are you doing?" I asked with a large hint of overbearing confusion. Mark quickly glanced up and me and back down at the bag. "Searching for something you STOLE from me at the airport and put in your bag." He let out a low growl. I laughed nervously and scratched the back of my neck. "Oh yeah, that. Sorry." I smiled innocently as I finished my sentence. 

"Are you guys sure you wanna walk over there? I mean it's already dark out and it's only 6." Felix questioned us, staring out the large window that covered almost all of the back wall. "Felix." I said a little roughly. "There are street lights ALL OVER THE PLACE." I flailed my arms in the air. "We'll be fine!!" 

"C'mon Felix! I wanna eat! And I ain't going to that shitty hotel restaurant downstairs." Wade made a face of disgust. "Yeah guys I'm hungry. Jack you almost ready?" Mark asked as he raised up from the ground. "Oh I've been ready for like ten minutes now. I just wanted to stay and chat in this nice comfy room for a bit." I laughed. "GREAT!! LET'S GO EAT! I'M STARVING!!" Wade yelled as he threw his arms up in the air and got up from the bed. "Hey, Wade. Shhh." I shushed him. "Other people are around us, you know?" 

"Oh come on Jack, you're so fun." Wade said with a hint of sass as he headed for the door. Mark, Felix and I quickly followed.
