I got home and nobody was here. I really just needed someone.
Marcus.
I called him.
"Hi my love." Marcus answered.
"Marcus please I need you here." I said.
"Of course baby I'm on my way. What's going on?" He asked.
"I don't know, I just can't be alone right now." I said.
"Okay. I'll be there soon alright?" He said.
"Okay." I said.
I hung up, crying. I just wanted him here. I heard the door open. Marcus went over to me and I instantly hugged him.
"It's okay. You're okay." He said, rubbing my back.
"I can't go through that anymore." I said.
"I know baby I know." He said.
"I can't leave you." I said.
"We're gonna figure this out. I promise. I'm right here and I'm not leaving." He said.
I hugged him tighter.
"Just breathe Zoey. Breathe." He said.
I took a few deep breaths.
I got out of the hug and Marcus wiped my tears.
"I need you to listen to me okay?" He asked.
"Okay." I said.
"You're mine and mine only, and I'm yours. I'm not leaving, I'm not letting some stupid ass not even good looking model ruin your happiness. You fought so damn hard to get here and she doesn't need to take that away from you. You can't let her walk all over you." He said.
"Okay." I said.
"You're gonna be okay. I'm here for you Zoey." He said.
I gave him a kiss.
I looked at my phone and a number called me.
"Hello?" I answered.
"Hey, this is Zoey correct?"
Chad.
"Yep. This is Zoey." I said.
"Hey Zoey. So Chanel's telling me that you threatened her first, saying that you were gonna tell everyone she got plastic surgery but before you get confused, she's pulled this before and it ended up the other person was telling the truth. I called her out on her bullshit and I told her if she did it again she was gonna be homeschooled and taken out of modeling." He said.
"Thank you." I said.
"Are you okay?" He asked.
"Yeah, just a hard day." I said.
"I hope it gets better for you Zoey. You're a strong person, never forget your worth." He said.
"Thank you." I said.
I hung up.
"Is everything okay?" Marcus asked.
"Yes. I'm okay." I said.
"Let's go upstairs." He said, holding out his hand.
I took his hand and we went to my bedroom. I took my shoes off, taking off my makeup and shirt.
I got on comfortable shorts, getting in my bed with Marcus.
"Baby." Marcus said.
"Yeah?" I asked.
"I love you." He said.
"I love you too." I said.
"How much?" He asked.
I turned my face to his, kissing him a bunch.
"A lot." I said.
I heard the front door open and talking. Must've been Delaney and Dylan. They knocked on our door.
"Come in." I said.
I covered up a little bit since I only had a bra on.
"Hey Zoey. How are you holding up?" Delaney asked.
"I had a breakdown and Marcus came over and helped me." I said.
"Thank you for that Marcus. Is everything okay now?" She asked.
"Yeah, just that Chanel girl really got to my head. Somehow she found out about the hospital since the officer I talked to is her dad and she said if I didn't leave Marcus she'd tell the school about what happened." I said.
"Fuck that fake ass plastic ass modeling son of a bitch. She tried flirting with me today I told her she needed to find someone her own age. Girl is a fucking freshman." Dylan said.
"Gross." I said.
"I just wanted to check up on you, make sure you were okay. I love you." Delaney said.
"I love you too." I said.
Dylan and Delaney left.
"Pull that damn blanket down I wanna see you." Marcus said, kissing me.
"Shut it." I said, wrapping my arm around his waist.
"I love you Zoey." Marcus said.
"I love you Marcus." I said, kissing him.
Chanel needed to back the fuck off.
