Starting Over

Chapter 1

Marie took a deep breath and picked up her phone. Scrolling through all her apps she found the black one and pressed it, hoping against hope that it never changed.

"Ice cream" a deep voice growled.

Marie took a deep breath and choked back a sob. "North Star, Im so sorry."

"Marie Baby?" North asked shocked.

"I'm so sorry, North Star. I tried to stop him I tried but I couldnt and now Im so tired."

"Sorry for what, Baby? Tried to stop who? Whats going on, Baby?" North asked worried.

"I'm sorry My North Star I broke my promise to you," she sobbed. "I just wanted the pain to stop."

"Its okay, Marie Baby, just tell me where you are and what's going on?" North asked frantically. "What happened, Baby? Just talk to me please, Baby."

Marie took a shaky breath and whispered, "I couldn't love just you North Star, I'm sorry but I love all of you and I couldn't break apart your family, so I had to leave." Marie gasped softly and let out a shaky breath, "He told me I belonged to him, but I told him no because my heart still belongs to you nine. He hit me and I tried to get away. I promise I tried North Star."

"I believe you Baby, just tell me where you are, and Ill come get you Marie Baby."

Marie let out a soft giggle, "Silly Bear, youre way too far away."

"Let me decide that Baby, just tell me," North pleaded.

"I'm so tired now North Star I need a rest. Its starting to get dark," she shakingly whispered.

"No, no, no, Baby talk to me. I havent heard from you in five years. I need to hear your beautiful voice Baby," North said softly.

"I told you I had to leave because I couldnt love just one of you and I wont break up your family. I left and tried to start over, but I wasnt happy. Im not happy, you and everyone would be so disappointed in me North Star Im so sorry."

"You silly girl, didnt you know we all wanted you, Baby?"

"What?" Marie gasped softly.

"You silly girl, weve always wanted just one girl for all of us and that is you, Baby. Its always been you and will still be you Baby. Now tell me where you are so I can come get you and bring you home to us."

"Im sorry North Star, I broke my promise to you and now is too late. Im sorry my North Star please tell everyone Im sorry I broke their hearts, and I will always love them."

"No, Baby, dont go to sleep. Keep talking to me, Baby. Dont shut those pretty brown eyes, Baby. Baby? Baby? Answer me, Baby" North panicked.

"I'm so sorry all of you. I love you all so much My Owen, Dr. Sean, Prince, Meanie, 52, Honey, Superman, Always, and North Star," Marie whispered as the darkness overtook her.
