~Zoey's POV~
I woke up a few hours later. Dylan and Delaney were in the other room... not a good hearing.
"They need to shut the fuck up before I go in there and stop it myself." Marcus said.
"You and me both." I said.
I got out of Marcus's arms and went downstairs and got a drink of water. Just then my mom came through the front door.
"Hey sweetie." My mom said.
"You have a lot of nerve coming here." I said.
"I pay the bills." She said.
"Yet you don't take care of your own children?" I asked.
"I've been on a business trip." She said.
"Wearing the same clothes since my first day of school. That's definitely business." I said.
"I'm home for a few days. You're fine." She said.
"No, mom. I'm not. You don't give a shit either." I said, going back upstairs.
"What was that about?" Marcus asked.
"My moms back. Only for a few days." I said, sitting back on my bed.
"That's surprising." He said.
"Right." I said.
"Dude what the hell?" Marcus said.
Delaney and Dylan were still going at it.
"They just don't stop." I said.
"No fucking kidding." He said, sitting next to me.
After about 30 minutes the scarring noises finally stopped. They went out of their room and went downstairs.
"I can't even look at them the same." I said, laughing.
"Wow! You're laughing!" Marcus said.
"Shut up dork." I said, punching his arm.
Marcus smiled at me as I got up, cleaning up my room a little.
"Are you gonna be okay staying by yourself tonight?" Marcus asked.
"Yeah I'm good. Laney will be here anyway." I said.
"Okay good. I just want to make sure you're safe." He said.
I nodded as we went downstairs.
"Enjoying yourselves up there?" Marcus asked as I punched him in the arm again.
"Oh, you heard that?" Delaney asked.
"We woke up to it." I said.
"I'm sorry." She said.
"I'm not." Dylan said, winking as Marcus gave him a dirty look.
"Dylan and I are gonna head out for a bit. Are you guys okay staying here?" Delaney asked.
"Yeah." I said.
"Alright. Mom said she's back at a bar right now." She said.
"No surprise." I said.
Delaney and Dylan hugged me goodbye as they left.
"Girl you always making me stay here with you, what if I got plans?" Marcus asked with a laugh.
"I know damn well you don't got no plans." I said.
"You right." He said.
I laughed, grabbing some water.
"I hope you know I don't mind staying with you." He said.
"I know that." I said.
"Good. Mary's been non stop fucking texting me. I've been blocking her but she's been getting so many new numbers. Talk about obsession." He said.
"No kidding." I said.
"I'm so tired of her bullshit. She just won't stop." He said.
"You and me both." I said.
"I'm sorry I did all that stuff Zoey. I should've realized she was being like that." He said.
"It's okay. I'm glad you finally realized it, because I have my best friend back." I said with a smile.
Marcus smiled at me, going over and hugging me.
I felt happy.
