LOVE

Chapter 5

Both Rose and Stan had a broken past, they both suffered with mental illness and break ups, in a way they got together hoping to heal one another, they were both so sure it will work up and none of them will hurt the other, not with knowing exactly what the other went through!

"What! What were you doing with her!" And in the coldest tone he said "She came asking about me and then we spent hours talking." She knew something was off, she could tell from how he was acting, he was lying, "Nothing else you sure!' Nodding 'You know I can tell when you're lying! Like now! Plus, why are your lips weirdly red?!" At that moment a part of her wished he would deny it but also she wished not she was confused and she just wanted to know the truth "Well! Okay! We kissed!' He replied without hesitating ''what's done is done I guess"
"What do you mean you kissed? Who started it? Was it just a kiss or more?"
"Does it matter?" He looked confused, he always knew the not caring Rose and he really thought she will just snap and let it
go "Respond to me! Now!" She tried so hard to hide how anxious she was but when he said "I... we made out..." she just couldn't hold it anymore.

He tried to touch her hand as if he had done nothing, but she couldn't even bear to look at him and as he touched her it was unbearable.
"I heard enough! We are done!' She got herself in hand, looked him in the eyes and added 'Don't speak to me ever again!" But her tears bailed on her and at that moment she just knew she had to get away, she was walking all alone, she just kept reviewing and remembering what happened and she couldn't understand how he could do that to her. She couldn't stop crying any more than she could stop breathing.

Rose was lost, she didn't know what to do but after some minutes of walking to nowhere, she and like usually found herself in front of Marley's room, it seemed normal for her to go there, since they became friends, he always had his door open for her no matter what time it is and no matter about what it is, she always knew that he will always be there to pick her up and help her to get back on her feet. She stood right there for minutes asking herself should she knock or leave? She raised her hand several times to knock but then she felt stupid and left then came back, it was a loop and it went for almost 2 minutes or more, she lost track of time, but when she heard a noise in the room, afraid to be caught setting right there, she wanted to leave, and as she was trying to, she bumped into the carpet and made a noise, and not even 2 second later there he is opening the door. Hearing the door unlocking somehow made her immediately stop crying and she even smiled a bit. "Rose! Is everything all right? Are you crying?" he asked worriedly and she replied knowing already he wouldn't believe her, "Yeah! Don't worry! I'm fine!" and as she expected he knew and asked her about it "Don't dare lie to me! Tell me what's the matter with you? Did Stan do something to you?? "

At that moment she shed tears, she felt super bad for going to complain to him about her "boyfriend" meanwhile he confessed his feelings to her an hour or less ago but she knew she had to tell him. "He cheated on me with her, he did it! After everything he did it! With her! After he proposed to me"

He took her in his arms right away, and she felt home, there was no word better to describe what she felt then home.

"You want to talk about it?" "I don't know where to start!" She looked up to him and she knew that once again here he is there for her, and in fact she didn't want to be anywhere else but there.
"It's normal! He is your first love!" She looked at him confused.
"Who told you that? Marley, I didn't want to say it before because you know, Stan, but Marley, you are my first love! I loved you and probably still do! You are my home and even when I was still with Stan, you never left my mind not even once! I love you Marley!"
She noticed a tear falling down his eyes, "I love you more than you can imagine, Rose!" he whispered.
