i couldn't look him in the eyes. 'charlie?' marv asked. 'i'm not mad at you.' he sighed. i looked up. 'mad at me? if anything i should be mad at you. turning away from me like that... it broke me.' i stuttered. tears were filling my eyes. how pathetic am i? crying over something that happens 2 years ago. 'charlie i-' i cut him off. 'charlie what? i didn't go to school for 2 weeks after you left. you left 12 years of friendship behind. i never even got a letter from you. i waited everyday at school hoping you would come back.. i missed you.' i cried. a 15 year old boy crying. great. marv didn't say anything. he looked at my in my eyes and hugged me. i cried into his shoulder, feeling pathetic. marv hugged me right. 'it's not your fault. it never was. i liked you before you ever liked me. i thought you were tricking me. i was terrified. the second you got to this school i recognised you, i guessed you didn't recognise me. even if you didn't, i was to happy you didn't turn me away.' i looked up and marv smiled. 'i've always loved you.' marv whispered into my ear. he took his hand and tipped my head back and kissed me, like some disney princess story. except now i'm the princess. 'i love you.' i murmered. 'what was that?' marv teased. 'i- i said i love you, okay?' i smiled. we are both so dumb. honestly. i stand up from the bed, and look out the window. it's still january so the sun goes down early. 'marv, look at the sunsettt it's so pretty,' i grin. i look at marv and it's the perfect golden hour picture. his face is lit up and his freckles stand out. i almost wanted to take a picture. so i did. i quickly grab my phone from my pocket and take a picture before marv can stop me. 'CHARLIE DELETE THAT I SWEAR DOWN-' marv quickly gets up and wrestles me back onto the medical bed, tickling me like i'm a kid. i feel so happy, like i would have never expected any of this. we both give up and lie on the tiny, uncomfortable medical bed. i take out my phone and look at the photo i took. even with my terrible quality android, marv looks perfect. marvs looking at my phone too, grinning. 'honestly, if you send that photo anywhere..' he tells me. i look at him. 'bet' i reply. i quickly open instagram and click the photo i just took. i caption it 'marv.' and click upload. my first and probably last instagram post. marv rolls his eyes. 'dummy.' i smile. i feel so happy.
