Falling for You (Simpbur X Reader)

Part 20

"Wilbur?!" Mark yells at me through the phone causing me to pull my head away from my phone from how loud it was.

"Yes... Wilbur, I... I told him to go get help and that if he did I'd... I'd meet up with him in three days..." I put my head down on my steering wheel as I wait for Mark's response. "WHAT?!" He yells through the phone.

"I know I know! I shouldn't have but... I dunno he just... Gosh his damn eyes" *I whisper the last part and bite my lower lip* "Y/n no, no no no no, you cannot go meet him! What if he takes you again?!" Mark says worriedly over the phone.

"I... I don't think he will, something about the way he looked at me, it's like he meant what he said" I explain to Mark. "Y/n... He's using you, you can't go meet up with him!"
I sigh knowing there was a high possibility he was right. "Please Mark, if you're that worried you can tag along" I knew this was a bad idea and yet, some how I was drawn to Wilbur, was something wrong with me?

"No! There'll be no tagging along and no meeting up with him!" Mark scolded me like I was a teenage girl asking to go to a party. "Mark, I'm allowed to make decisions and... I'm meeting up with him, you can either tag along or don't" I then hang up the call before he changes my mind.

I then started driving out of the parking lot and drove to a nearby park to try and clear my mind. I texted Mark letting him know where I was at as I took a stroll. The sun was setting and it was quiet, all you could hear was the light breeze along with the sound of birds off in the distance. I looked across the lake and saw two geese fly over it, something about the difficult but simplicity view of nature made my worries wash away from a second as I breathed in the air.

I stayed in the park till night then left and went back to Mark's place. "Hey..." I say as I open the door. "I'm back" I enter his house and close the door behind me. "Y/n...we need to talk" I sigh. "Look... I know meeting up with Wilbur is a bad idea but" I look into Mark's eyes. "Please... Let us talk it out, maybe there's a deeper meaning" Mark looks at me in disbelief. "I'm not gonna stand here and watch my friend crawl back into the captivity of her kidnapper! Y/n, do you realize how crazy you sound?!" Mark said  worriedly, I could tell how much he cared about me.

I continue to talk with Mark for a couple hours on the situation, which leads us to an argument. Like partners who could never get along. We both went to bed upset that night.

[Time skip~]

It had been exactly three days since I last talked to Wilbur. Anxiety, fear, and excitement coursed through my entire being at the sheer thought of seeing him again. Mark agreed to keep watch of me while I was with Wilbur but, I asked him to stay off into the distance that way Wilbur would only think I was there.

Me and Mark get in the car and drive to the place, and as soon as I see where I told Wilbur to meet up with me Mark turns the car the other direction. "Hey... You're going the wrong way..." I tell Mark with a light tug on his coat sleeve. "We're not going" Mark says firmly. "Wha-what?!" I snap, I seemed surprised but hurt. "What do you mean?!" Mark's hand gripped the steering wheel. "I said no Y/n...trust me please... This is for the best" Mark says as he keeps driving off.

"Mark go back! Please... I know what I'm doing" I plead with mark, trying to make him go back, it didn't seem like he'd budge. "Y/n, that guy kidnapped you and did who knows what wth you, and now you want to meet up with him? Do you really think he'll change?" I hesitate, unsure of how to answer him.

"You don't understand... There's more going on than you know..." Mark scoffs. "It doesn't matter what's going on Y/n, he kidnapped you! Why are you wanting to go back?!" Mark speeds up the car as he gets frustrated.

I gently put one of my hands over his. "I know... This sounds really dumb, and maybe it is... But please, you'll be right there with me, we'll be out in public so he doesn't have much of a chance to grab me unless I go off somewhere with him... Mark I'm asking you to trust me" I say in a soft but serious tone as j try to get him to change his mind. "It's not that I don't trust you Y/n, I don't trust Wilbur" I take my hand off him and sigh. I look down at my lap as we stop at a red light, I felt so stupid. I knew I couldn't get mark to change his mind so out of impulse while the car was stopped I run out of the passengers seat and dart off.
