Straight Man Project

Chapter 20

Here is another chapter and dont be mad at me for being an emotional one.

Marcus Pov.

Why?

That is all Im asking myself since I ran. Since I ran from my problems but also happiness. At this moment I don't know what is happening with my life. Nothing makes sense anymore and is like God is playing a cruel game with me.

After what happened I ran back home crying. Don't if it was from anger, shock, sadness, confuse or hurt. So many thoughts have ran trough my mind that I haven't left my room for hours.

A while ago Indira came but didn't mutter a word as she left saying her mom is picking her up and left mumbling 'goodbye and sorry'. It broke my heart remembering how crushed Steven looked when I rejected him by leaving him.

What sick twisted problem I got myself into. Never have I thought that Steven would like me and he tells me today. From all days!!! When I had a date with someone who was a jerk too which he ruined by his selfishness. Maybe I should thank him because Trevor wasn't even my type and after that little stunt he did there he cares more of himself than others.

I groaned as I paced back and forth in my room. Soon a pang of guilt hit my chest as I recoiled what happen between me and Steven. Are we still friends? Well of course because 13 years of friendship can't be forgotten so easily. But maybe things are now different between us and he is going to ignore me.

I hope everything ends up good cause Im too young to be going trough some roughs moments. Maybe I should apologize or talk to him.

A knock from the door interrupted my thoughts and I stopped my pacing. Soon mom head was peaking trough the door.

"Honey what's wrong that when you arrived you look sad?" She asked concern as she stepped inside and walked over me. I sat on my bed with a sigh and she frowned at that.

"The date didn't go well?" She ask.

Seeing she was really concern for me I told her everything. She listen all the way trough and she stared at me sad and almost laugh at the stunt Steven, Indira and Bernett but then it was replaced in disappointment.

After I finished I was twirling my thumbs anxiously as she remained silent. After two minutes of silence she finally spoke,

"First of all he should have told you in the first place about he felt for you and none of this would have happened. And you wouldn't have gone to that date with that jerk face" Leave it to her to make a comment like that.

"Second it was stupid of his part to play that stunt especially on a museum. Indira and Bernett shouldn't have followed. But what Indira told me a moment ago it was her idea and not the boys." she explained and I felt my heart crush more at her words.

"At finally" she didn't finished as her hand slapped me in the back of my head, "what the heck where you thinking when you left that poor boy all alone and crushed. Now he thinks you reject him and is dying from sadness."

She finished and I felt my eyes start to water. I never wanted to hurt him, it kills me when I see him sad and more if it was caused by me. That's why I promised when I was 8 to never leave him alone.

(Flashback)

"GIVE ME MY CRAYONS" I wailed hysterically as I try to reach for my crayons from Steven reach. He smiled smugly at me and taunted.

"Na na na na na. You can't reach them" he taunt and I kept jumping. He was taller than me since I was really small for my age. When I knew I couldn't get them I started crying.
