Marley was starting to get real fed up with being ignored. It was already Saturday and she knew he'd be home the next day, but she was beyond annoyed with him. A small part of her didn't even want to go and see him, instead she wanted to give him a taste of his own medicine and ignore him.

But Marley was tired. She was exhausted and she was so done with being upset all of the time. Karl was lucky her exhaustion outweighed her need to be petty, because usually that wasn't the case.

And as she watched her phone ring and silently hoped that he would finally pick up, Marley wondered if he'd come straight to the house or if he'd go and hide away at his friends house to try and avoid confrontation. He had put their talk off this long already, so she wouldn't exactly be surprised if he tried it again.

But she was just so tired. Tired of fighting and being alone and just feeling terrible overall. She missed him and she was mad at him and she was fucking exhausted and so extremely conflicted.

She wanted to be petty more than anything. Ignore his calls and messages and refuse to finally try and heal. And if she wasn't so emotionally drained, she would absolutely do all of those things.

Luckily for Karl, the only thing that seemed to be on her mind lately was getting everything sorted out so they could just move on from what had, without a doubt, been a pretty shitty two months.

Marley had assumed that Karl wanted things to go back to normal just as much, if not more, as she did. Their break had been dragging on for far too long and she knew for a fact that they were both suffering because of it.

She checked the time on her phone again and sighed. Time didn't even seem to be moving at all, leaving her to sit and wait at home while her anxiety only seemed to grow.

She didn't think finding out what happened would make everything immediately better. Marley knew things would take time to heal, she was more than aware that it wouldn't be like before right away. But the sleepless nights where she thought about the many possible reasons Karl would give her, she never once thought that she would still feel so awful after finding out.

If anything, her anxiety was even worse now than it was the entire time Karl was still in North Carolina. Still there, but not really.

The fact that she hadn't been able to get ahold of him for the last few days had only made things worse. Realistically, Marley knew he was okay. She knew that there were several people who would let her know if something happened as soon as they could, and so far she hadn't heard anything from them. But a small, terrified part of her couldn't help but wonder if he had changed his mind about having that stupid conversation that didn't even matter anymore.

That wasn't entirely truthful, though. It did matter because clearly the two of them weren't very good at communication, or answering messages apparently. But it wasn't nearly as important as it was before Marley found out what happened.

Marley was exhausted in every way a person could be. Alls she wanted was to figure things out with Karl and take a goddamn nap. But considering the minutes were slowly ticking by, and Karl still wasn't answering her, Mars figured she could just skip right to the nap part since Goose was cuddled up with her anyways.
