[mark's pov]

"so? what do ya think about the clunker?" i asked y/n, leaning against the white metal. he just bit his lip and furrowed his eyebrows.

"and how much did you buy this for?" he asked, looking all around the body.

"200 dollars." i smiled. "isn't that a steal?" i looked back at my new van, admiring the large dent in the passenger side door.

"mark... you know you're one of the richest youtubers in the world, right?" y/n asked, a concerned look spread across his face.

"yea..."

"and you know that you could buy probably anything you wanted?"

"but it's not about the money y/n. it's about us, it's about our relationship." i smiled.

"so this van is our relationship?" he asked.

"that's not what i mean. here, just listen to it start up, that'll change your mind."

"fine..."

[y/n's pov]

i walked over to the passenger door and tugged on the handle, it didn't budge.

"oh yea." mark rushed over to my side of the van. "you have to give a little force to open it." mark punched the door while pulling on the handle, it still didn't budge. he threw his shoulder at the door, rocking the van back and forth until the door popped open. he opened it all the way and grabbed my hand gently, leading me inside.

"mark, if i find a dirty syringe in here..."

"oh you don't have to worry about that, the original owner only did LSD in the 80s." mark said, shutting my door and hurrying around to the driver side. i just looked around at the rust that was building up in the corners and the cobwebs that sat in the back.

"alright." mark sat down and pushed the key into the ignition. "watch this." he was clearly excited to show me the engine. he turned the key and a loud grinding noise sprung up from under the hood. he looked over at me and i met his eyes with wide ones of my own.

"i-it does that sometimes." he turned the key again and the van rattled before springing to life, lurching forward. he quickly stomped on the brake, stopping the van in its tracks. he grinned widely at me, the van's engine idling loudly in the background.

"isn't this romantic?" he asked. i looked around again, noticing every light on the dashboard was on, the emergency brake was broken, and the back seats had holes chewed through them by mice. i noticed mark leaning towards me for a kiss and i got out of the van.

"i'm going inside." i said sternly, slamming the door as i left, it popped open though. i walked away and heard mark quickly hop out of the van and chase after me.

"wait y/n, what's wrong?" mark grabbed my arm, he had a questioning look on his face.

"what's wrong? are you kidding?" i said. "mark, this is the dumbest thing you've ever done. that van is old and dangerous, and quite frankly, WE DON'T NEED A VAN!" i yelled. mark just cowered under my tone, a nervous look on his face.

"i thought we could go on a road trip with it." he said shyly. he looked down at the dirt, fumbling with his jacket zipper. i took a deep breath and grabbed at his hand, making him look up at me.

"i'm sorry mark but this van isn't what we need. we're perfect how we are. i mean just look at it." mark looked over at the van and his face dropped. all the color draining from it.

"uhh, where's the van?" he asked, looking around frantically. i turned towards the van and saw nothing but an empty field and chica sitting where the van was, her tail wagging steadily.

"it was just here-" but i was cut off when i saw the van rolling down the hill at a high speed. i grabbed marks hand and took off running towards the vehicle. it rolled quickly through a cow pasture and the animals looked up from grazing and watched the van roll away. i kept running, noticing a pond perfectly at the bottom of the hill.

i ran faster until i tripped and tumbled down the rest of the hill, hearing a devastating splash as the van hit the water. i sat up, brushing grass and flower petals from my shirt, my hair was a mess. chica quickly caught up to me, licking my face and jumping circles around me. marks hand came into view and i took it, he pulled me up from the grass, kissing my cheek in the process.

"you really didn't have to try that hard to get the van, y/n." mark chuckled, watching the van slowly sink down into the green water.

"my phone was in there." i replied, giggling with mark.

(a/n: ...hello...

i know i haven't uploaded i almost a year... and i'm sorry. you guys probably don't know but i am a junior in high school and i feel like i'm growing. posting on here has seemed more like a chore than a passion even though i still love mark and i love all of you. all of my comments are positive and full of love, but i feel like i'm too old to be daydreaming about mark... i'm about to turn 17 in four months. this isn't goodbye, i'll still update. just a lot less frequently. school is really dragging me down and i feel exhausted. i know that over summer vacation, i'll update more. but for now, i'll be taking (another) break. i'm sorry and i love you <3)
