MARCUS ABBOTT X READER // A QUIET PLACE 2

😞

⚠️TW SELF HATE⚠️

*a month later back at the house*
Me and Marcus went back to our house like a month ago and regan stayed. It's crazy how marcus and me have been together for so long. That's why I started getting worried when he said he was gonna go on runs alone. He started distancing himself. It was wierd. He would sometimes sleep on the couch instead of in bed with me. I felt weird. I didn't like it. I missed how we were before ya know. I don't know what happened. Until I found it. The letter. Once I read the letter everything clicked. So tonight I'm gonna go to the location on the letter.
Marcus was already sleeping on the couch. So I took my chances and went. It was in the town I grew up in so. Once I got there I was looking around. Come on where is it. I kept looking through the alleyway and finally stumbled across a secret entryway. Well it's not so secret now. I crawled inside of the vent until I hit the other side of this secret door. Wtf. It's a room the size of a fucking house. With blanket on the floor. Weird. I got out of the vent and started walking around. Then I saw a whole bunch of playgrounds dragged into each other so they would all connect. There were so many I couldn't even count them. I saw a person? No people. They were laying down on the playground in different spots wrapped in blankets. Wtf is this place. I looked back at the letter to figure out specifically where I'm This room Marcus had been going. I wandered around until I found it. One of those tunnel things. On the playground. I went up and slowly peered into the tunnel. There layed a girl who looked older than me. She looked so much like me. But better. She looked how I always wanted to look. I started feeling really insecure. She may have looked like me in the face. But her features were better than mine. I couldn't even stay here. Realizing that Marcus was probably seeing her. I left and went back home. I went into my fort in one of the secret rooms I made and layed down starting to cry. I silently cried into my pillow starting to see everything wrong with the way I looked. She looked like a dream. My dream. I've always wanted to look like her. I don't even know her but she perfectly looks the way I've wanted to look. When I was done crying I got up and went to my full body mirror. I stood there and took off my sweater. I was wearing a more fitting shirt and leggings looking at myself. It took me forever to see my true beauty. Now look at me. I hate it. The way I look. All those emotions I thought I put behind me are back. I feel gross. I look at my face. Seeing that girl made me look like a wish version of her. She had beautiful long dark eyelashes y/c (your color) hair. Y/s (your size) lips but hers more plump than mine. Her nose was small and cute. I wished to look like her. She was a better version of me. I started tearing up again and went back to my secret room in the fort. I cried myself to sleep.

*the next day*
"Y/N!" Marcus said loudly causing me to wake up. He was looking for me. Repeating my name. I crawled out of the fort and entered the living room to see him looking a little panicked. He turned around and saw me standing there. My hair was a mess. My face still stained from crying. My eyes red. dark circles under my eyes. He walked over to me with worry on his face. "Y/n what happened?" He asked putting a hand to my face. "You asshole" I yelled pushing his hand away and backing up. He had a confused look on his face. "Don't fucking touch me..." I said in a low yet kinda high pitched voice sounding like I'm about to cry. I held onto the letter in my pocket. "I-I'm sorry- what did I do?" He said looking down. "Are you... are you cheating on me." I got right to the point. His face instantly went up and locked eyes with me. His eyes were wider than before. "No!" He yelled back. "Your lying." I said as my grip got tighter on the letter. "What are you talking about?!" He yelled again. Tears started falling hard. "How am I cheating on you if there isn't anyone else in the world!" He yelled yet again. "That's what I told myself at first. Until I figured out why." I said wiping my tears. "If you don't love me anymore you could just say that." I said walking out of the room. I went upstairs looking at the letter again. Reminding myself of what the fuck happened. He came in the room and saw the letter in my hands. "Well fuck." He said. "That's why you think I'm cheating? A letter?" He said as my eyes shot up at him. "Well I went to the location and saw for myself. I didn't know you were into older women." I said back. "Oh for fucks sake!" He yelled. "I'm not cheating on you. That's your mother." He said. My eyes went wide. I've never actually met my mom. "What." I said standing up. "Yeah. I found your mom for you. I've been going out at daytime to see her. She took in a group of girls out of the same facility regan was captured in. I met her while I was on my way into town with my dad." He said. Wtf. I started tearing up. Why does my mom look better than me. I can't believe I thought he was cheating on me. I feel like an asshole. I started tearing up again. "That's the reason I've been sleeping on the couch. Because I was helping her plan. She wanted to meet you. She was gonna have a whole surprise. My job there is to get stuff. She has me go out of town to do that. So when I get home I fall asleep because I'm too tired to go upstairs. I'm sorry" he said. I stood there as Marcus hugged me still in shock. I can't believe I thought he was cheating on me. And come to find out it's my mother. I feel so stupid. I was jealous of my own mom. She is beautiful. I am still growing so maybe one day I'll look like her. Im just a teenager I mean I don't need to rush to look a certain way. A smile spread across my face. And I hugged him back. "Im sorry..." I whispered. "No need to be. I would be confused too. Especially if I found that letter I would definitely do the same thing." He said chuckling. I giggled with him.
