Me and Marcus

Chapter 7

LOLAS POV

I couldn't breath. After what Marcus just told me, I literally died inside. It felt like being stabbed. Literally it hurt that much. I could tell he felt bad for me but it didn't help. I wanted to go die. Make it all go away. I felt embarrassed, humiliated, upset at my own mother.

My mom. She was the one who did this. She caused this. Why would my mom do this? I can't sit here any longer. Marcus started to talk.

"Lola, I know it is a horrible thing but please, we can start over, a-and-"

"It is a horrible thing and I will never forget it. I thought you liked me. I thought I could move further with you. I believed it was all true. But it was some stupid fucking order from my mom. My own damn mother." I slid my chair out and put my napkin back on the table.

"Well you won't have to pay as much for this anymore." I said and walked outside. I looked around and saw nobody was around so I did it.

I cried.

I cried so much my makeup was probably demented all over my face. I cried so much my eyes hurt. In a small time of 2 minutes. Then I heard footsteps on the pavement.

I turned around and saw him standing there and I could tell he was startled when he saw my face.

"Lola I'm so sorry. And I do like you in that way. I swear," he said pleading. But I wasn't believing it. He probably is doing it for money from my mom. Like he did with my love. Used it.  More tears came down and a smash was heard in the distance.

Me and Marcus both got quiet and looked up at the sky to find dark clouds. It was only 7:00. The storms were supposed to come later. Marcus slowly started walking towards me but I stepped away in fear of what he would do and I think I started having an anxiety attack.

My breath started speeding up and I couldn't keep air in my lungs longer than a second. My chest burned and I started crying and freaking out because I was panicking like crazy. Marcus started freaking out more than me and he ran inside and asked a waiter for water then ran back out to me and grabbed my shoulders and led me to a bench where I sat, but it didn't help. My breathing was going faster because the rain started to fall.

Marcus then came out of no where with water and handed it to me and started to talk.

"Lola, I'm so sorry this is happening. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have done, well agreed to your moms plan-idea thing" he was stuttering with his words.

My breathing started to regulate and I started trying to take long, deep breathes.

"Are you okay? I am so scared Lola. We only met yesterday but you seem so perfect and I am coming so close to losing you. Please don't leave me like the rest of them did." He said emotionally and I could tell he wanted to cry.

All I can say is that I am so afraid.

Afraid that he is lying. Afraid that I will hurt him. Afraid that my dress is going to get ruined in this rain.

So when I was afraid I did what I always did.

I took Marcus' arm and out it around my shoulder. Then I rested my head on him. Because I truly have started to feel safe in his comfort. But I don't even know if I was making the right move now. I can't trust him completely.

"Marcus," I whispered so he would here me.

"Yes?"

"How will I ever trust you again, because in my heart...I want to be with you." I confessed not even afraid to tell him that.

"Lola, if you don't ever want to trust me again that is fine. But I really want you to be mine. I want you Lola." He said.

My mom ruined everything. I can't believe she would do that too me.

Another tear rolled down my face and a smash of thunder banged the air. I shook and started to panic again. I shot up off the bench and ran to the car but it was locked.

Marcus came up behind me and said something loud enough to hear over the downpouring of rain that started to come, "Come back to dinner with me, please. The food here is amazing." he told me.

I was really iffy about it because it would be extremely awkward.

"I...d-don't know..." I stuttered. I saw lighting strike a tree far away and it almost lit into flames. Then a huge boom of thunder shook the Earth and I was getting soaked by the second. I started crying and screaming all in one as fear was shooting through my blood.

"Marcus please unlock the doors!" I screamed as he just stood there waiting for me to come with him.

"Come to dinner with me please! Give me another chance at this date!" He said. What the heck is his problem? Didn't he know since the second we met, that I was afraid of storms?

Marcus grunted in frustration and started walking back into the restaurant and I had no choice but to sprint in when more lighting came.

"What the actual hell Marcus?!" I yelled to him not minding the 2 couples looking at me.

"What?" He asked as if nothing happened a minute ago.

"What?! That's what you say?! Because I am afraid of being outside during a thunderstorm and you refused to take me home!? Or even let me in your car?!" I said getting louder each time and I saw a few people including workers mumble to others and I heard a guy in the back go "Dude, that's low. Honey, come with me and we can head back to my place!" I stared blushing with red cheeks and frowning while Marcus was red with anger boiling inside of him.

"How about you fuck off, you prick!" Marcus screamed back to the guy so loud I bet the gods above could here us.

It got quiet. Super quiet. The only sound you could here was the rain smashing onto the pavement outside. I walked up behind Marcus and said "Take. Me. Home."
