Beggining Of The End (Marcus Abbott)

4

EMMAS POV:

Its now the morning and Marcus isnt next to me. I assume he is downstairs or something. I look at the alarm clock to see it is 10:00am. I slept in a little. Thats probably the best sleep ive had in a while.

-----------------------------------------------------------

I got dressed and did my hair and makeup a little just to look like I didnt just come back from the dead. My back hurt a little, due to us falling in the hole yesterday.

I head down stairs and sit on the couch waiting for Marcus to show up. As im watching the tv, I feel someone kiss my cheek. It was Marcus.

"Hi baby, goodmorning." He says with a smile.

He-just-called-me-his-baby- OMG IM LITERALLY SCREAMING INTERNALLY.

"Hey." I say still a little tired.

I was still pretty tired even though I had a good night sleep last night.

"Still tired huh?" He says.

How did he read my mind-

"Uh. Yeah." I say chuckling a little.

He comes around the couch and sits next to me and watches tv with me for about 2 hours.

"You guys want some pancakes?" Evelyn asks us while holding the baby.

We both nod and continue to watch the tv.

Reagan comes down and sees were watching something.

"𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐠𝐮𝐲𝐬 𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠?" She signs.

"𝐂𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞." I sign back.

She walks away and Evelyn comes with the pancakes for us.

I start eating before I see Marcus looking at me.

I look back at him and see him grinning a little.

"What?" I ask with food still in my mouth.

"You're so beautiful" He says to me.

I blush a little and then he grabs my chin, not to the point it hurts and smashes his lips on mine.
Our lips move together and then I realize were making out. He gently pushes me down on the couch and continues to make out with me. I get a lot of butterflies whenever I feel his touch.

After about 3 minutes, we hear someone clear their throat trying to get our attention.

We look pull away and both look up It was Lee. Oh god this is awkward.

We all just kinda stare at eachother before Lee gestures to Marcus to get off of me. Marcus gets off and I get up aswell. Lee walks out of the room and me and Marcus look at eachother. We start dying laughing.

"Did you see his face?!" I say laughing still.

"And the way he walked off!" Marcus says still laughing too.

Evelyn and Reagan come in with the baby and stare at us with confused looks.

Marcus grabs my hand and drags me upstairs.

He gets his computer and plays The Greatest Showman Sound Track.

He grabs both of my hands and the song 'The greatest show' starts playing. We start singing/yelling and dancing.

"THIS IS THE GREATEST SHOW! WE LIGHT IT UP WE WONT COME DOWN! AND THE SUN CANT STOP US NOOWW!" We both yell while dancing.

Once we finish litteraly the whole playlist, we realize its 3:00am.

We go into the bed and Marcus goes to sleep before I do.

I hear faint yelling and realize it was Evelyn and Lee. I slowly got out of Marcus' arms and went to the door to listen.

"I saw them making out on the couch! They need to learn boundaries!" I hear Lee say faintly.

"They're 15 Lee, 15! They are just kids enjoying their life, this is the most happy ive seen Marcus." Evelyn argues back.

"They are addicted to eachother, dont you see that? Its bad!" Lee says.

I walk away from the door on the verge of tears. Did Lee not like us together? I go back into Marcus' arms and dig my head into his chest crying. After about a minute, I get up and grab the pocket knife out of my backpack. I make a few cuts and pull my sleeve back up. I crawl back into Marcus' arms and go to sleep.

MARCUS' POV:

It is the morning and I wake up to see Emma in my chest. I see that her eyes are puffy and red. Was she crying? I sit up and her arm is on my chest. Her sleeve is slightly pulled up and I see this cut on her skin. I panick and pull up her sleeve to see a lot more up her arm. Why was she doing this? Was it because of me? I start crying a little and then I see her wake up and my tears leave.

"Hi baby." She says in her sleepy voice.

"H-hi babe." I say back.

We both get up and get breakfast. During breakfast, I see Emma kinda sad. Was it the cuts or something else bothering her.

EMMAS POV:

I look over at Marcus to see him look a little sad. Was something bothering him?

"Hey Emma, how about we go on a walk." He says to me.

I nod and we head out the door.

"Are you okay?" We both say at the same time.

I nod.

"No your not, please tell me whats wrong." He asks me.

I sigh and realize that I should probably tell him

"Last night, I heard your parents arguing about our relationship." I say to him while looking at the ground. "Now tell me whats up."

(Tʜᴇ sᴋʏ ᴏʙᴠɪ- IM SORRY I HAD TOO)

"Um..while you were sleeping, I saw your sleeve pulled up a little, and I pulled it up more and saw a bunch of cuts. Care to explain?" He says on the verge of tears.

"I- im sorry. I just have been feeling a little depressed lately and I didnt know how else to cope with it.." I say crying a little.

I start crying a lot and fall to my knees. He catches me and I cry into his chest.

"Hey, hey. Its okay. But you know you couldve talked to me. Right?" He says crying with me.

I nod into his chest and we stay like this for about 5 minutes.

"We should head back." I say quietly.

We both get up and start walking. Once we are about halfway there, I step in a bear trap. Well shit.

I fall to the floor and start screaming. Marcus quickly tries to budge open the bear trap, but it wouldnt budge. I see blood trickling down my foot and onto the dirt.

Marcus looks around and sees a hammer.

"No no n-" I say before he smashes the bear trap open.

I cry out of pain and hold my foot. Marcus takes off his hoodie and applies pressure to my wound. I scream more because it hurts a lot.

I try to get up but just fall again.

"No, you cant walk. Here." He says while picking me up bridal style.

I cry some more out of pain and we finally reach the house. Marcus sets me on the couch and goes to grab his parents. Evelyn was a former doctor so she knew what to do.

"OMG, WHAT HAPPENED?!" Evelyn says.

"I-I" I try to speak, but I cant due to the pain.

"Her foot got stuck in a bear trap." Marcus says for me. "Please help her."

(PLEASE I JUST IMAGINED SOMEONE GETTING THEIR PERIOD THROUGH ALL THIS-)
