Mark's POV

I couldn't sleep. Tom was passed out on the chair next to my bed but I wasn't as lucky. The ceiling was no longer interesting and my phone was back at home. I took in a long breath and closed my eyes. I went over everything that has happened thus far. I saw that my bathroom door was cracked open which reminded me of the night I met him.

Flashback.

I had another nightmare and needed to cool off so I tiptoed downstairs. But the archway that led to the kitchen was blanketed by darkness. I never noticed myself going and grabbing a notepad from my room. I sat down on the stairs and continued staring at the darkness. Unbeknownst to me, I was unconsciously drawing something.

I peeked at it and froze. I had drawn a black mass that seemed darker that the inky blackness. The thing that scared me the most was the fact that I had drawn eyes on it. Big white eyes. I looked back up to see if I could see anything. All that greeted me was a gray suit. I screamed and looked up to the owner of said suit. He was pale with facial hair and longish hair that fell into his face. His demeanor wasn't threatening but his appearance was simply terrifying. He seemed to glitch out and he would sometimes have another one of himself that was doubled over screaming.

"Hello." He started, his voice deep and calming.

"I see you are afraid. You don't need to worry, you can trust me." He held out his hand helping me up.

"You have a lot of nightmares don't you?" I nodded hesitantly.

"I can fix that."

"Really!?" I looked at him with amazement.

"Yes. All you have to do is let me in." His smile crept further on his face.

I looked at him with large eyes, "who are you?"

His smile faltered and a low rumble escaped his lips.

"Please forgive me. You may call me Dark. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance Mark." I smiled at him.

"So you will make the man go away?" He cocked an eyebrow.

"The man?" I nodded.

"A mean guy always chases me in my nightmares. Sometimes I see him in my room." He smiled reassuringly.

"I will make it all go away if you let me in. I promise." He held one hand on his chest while he gripped my hand with the other.

"Okay....I'll let you in Dark." He ruffled my hair slightly.

"Alright, take my hand and when you wake up, we will be bonded together." I laughed.

"Are you like my guardian angel or something?" He smirked.

"Maybe." My eyes widened in shock as a pair of pink wings unfurled behind him.

I bounced up and down slightly and giggled. He smiled and led me upstairs to my room.

"Go to sleep Mark. Just call me if you need me for anything." I nodded and rubbed my eyes letting out a yawn.

"Ok Dark. Night." He tucked me in.

"Good night Mark." The last thing I saw was his smile as I fell asleep.

E.O.F

I opened my eyes and saw light coming through the windows along with worried voices. I saw my doctor and Tom talking frantically. They saw me awake and rushed up to me. Tom had dark circles under his eyes.

"Thank god you're awake again Mark!" He whispered to himself.

"What happened? I just fell asleep." I sat up.

"No you didn't, you went back into your coma! It's been three days Mark!" He pinched his eyes and sighed.

"This sometimes occurs with coma patients. It's not uncommon." I nodded stretching in the process.

"When will I be able to leave?" He scratched his chin.

"As long you don't relapse back in the next 24 hours you should be able to go home tomorrow." I sighed extremely relieved.

"Oh thank god." I smiled.

He nodded and left the room after a quick discussion with Tom.

"Can you go to my house and grab my phone, Tom?" He nodded and left.

I swung my feet over the side of the bed and stood up grabbing the IV and dragging it with me. I needed to walk around and take a breather from the stuffy room. I took slow steps gaining strength back into my legs. I made it to the hall and approached a nurse.

"Hello, ma'am, can you tell me Tyler Scheid's room number?" She nodded.

"Follow me, Mr. Fischbach."

She led me to a small room where the bed sheets were tossed around and an empty tray of food sat on the table. She called out to Tyler until Tyler's nurse appeared and told us he was getting checked out.

"You are free to wait for them in your room while I get them." I nodded and smiled.

"That would be lovely, thank you." I wobbled back to my own room and sat in the armchair, flicking on the T.V. to the news station.

I saw they had an article about a celebrity that was in a coma - oh shit.

"Thank you so much, Linda. Onto the main story for tonight, The YouTube sensation Mark Edward Fischbach "aka" Markiplier has recently fallen into an alcohol induced coma. Authorities responded to a 911 call about the man being extremely violent and attacking his close friend Tyler Scheid. He was later emitted to the L.A hospital and fell into a coma. Authorities claim that the man was trying to commit suicide as his body can't process any sort of alcohol - Hang on a second Linda, I am just being told that he has pulled out of the coma! More news about the incident will be disclosed at a later time." I covered my face with my hands.

"Oh god."
