"For your information, I actually do care a lot you idiot ..."
"Can you spot how many fucks I give?"
"We were never meant to be together..."
"After everything I did for you, this how you repay me?...."
Once they were both separated, I went back to my room in anger. Ugh, they are both so freaking childish, god, I have to start being careful about what I tell Marcus, he just proved to me that I can't put all my trust in him.
"What the hell happened between Marcus and Xavier? I have detention now because of the dumbass, stupid pledge." Saya starts to pace around my room in anger.
"They both got into a fight because Marcus pressed Xavier about me, did you see the amount of blood on the walls? Good luck to anyone who has to clean that up."
A note slides under my door and I open it to see a letter from Master Lin.
"Great! Now I have detention, Hopefully, Lin won't break my arm, I need both of them. I spend a lot of money to get my nails done."
"That's what you're worried about? Wait, something is off with you...... did you have a spa day? Your skin is glowing."
"No? Why-" she cuts me off by turning me to the side to see my stomach.
"Oh my god! You are so pregnant, my mom was just like you when she had my brother. Don't you dare try to lie to me"
"Keep your voice down, I'm getting an abortion, don't get too excited."
"Xavier or Marcus? I think that Marcus is too-"
"It's Marcus, now let's go to detention to get this stupid shit over with but I'm going to bring my adult coloring book my therapist recommends it."
"That's my girl, Mental health is a top priority when you're in a literal hell." She high-fives me and we go to master slashers classroom and Xavier and Marcus are sitting apart from each other. I sit in the back, put my feet up on the table, Lean back in the chair, and do some coloring.
I feel a pair of eyes on me and I look up to see Marcus staring at me. I look down again and stick up my middle finger at him, As an hour has gone by, the guards are gone and I get the idea to go through a master slasher's desk.
"I know that look on your face, you're up to something.... I want in." Saya says while sitting next to me.
"He has gloves in here right?" She points at the wall that the box is connected to, I grab a pair of gloves and I take a Bobby pin and break into his desk. Marcus and Xavier both stare at me.
"What? This is nothing compared to what I do regularly, we all know that." I found the needle, pencil, and pen ink that he took away from me.
"Found it!." I take out and scurry back to my desk and find things I could use to disinfect the needle. Saya passes me the rubbing alcohol and I disinfect the needle.
"Why do you two keep staring at me? What fuck is your problem?." I say to both Xavier and Marcus.
"Enough with all this bullshit guys, you two idiots already fought it out, I had nothing to do with it but since Marcus is my pledge then it's my fault too, do us all a favor and act like the grown-ass men you are," Saya says while I'm doing a stick and poke on her.
"Whatever," Xavier says while playing with his lighter.
"Hey pretty boy, you wouldn't want me to mess up that face of yours, right? So I recommend you give me some respect before I light up your hair on fire, we all know that's the only thing working for you." Saya threatens him.
"Jeez, scary much?" Xavier goes back to playing with his lighter while Saya goes back down so I can finish her tattoo.
Our time is finally up and I'm trying to leave until both boys call my name at the same time.
"I'm not talking to either of you until you get your shit together, until then I'm not doing favors for your Xavier and for you Marcus, what I tell you is in confidence. Don't use me as a reason to get back at people, I'm not going to thank you for shit." I leave the room more annoyed than ever.
A week later.....
I go back to my room to get ready for a shower, Luckily my shower finally got fixed. As I'm drying my hair, I see a note side under my door.
Oops! This image does not follow our content guidelines. To continue publishing, please remove it or upload a different image.
I grab my jacket and make my way to the graveyard, and there he is standing at the ledge of the building, looking at San Francisco's beautiful view at night.
He notices me and I walk up to him with no expression on my face, not even a single word.
"Just listen to me, please?." I nod my head and I can see the bags under his eyes and I can tell he's in pain.
"It's been a week, I haven't heard your voice, I haven't been sleeping and everything has gone to shit, it's all my fault. Your always right, I'm so fucking blind and I haven't been seeing that I've been hurting you. Do whatever you want, punch me, curse at me, laugh at me, but I'm begging you please stop avoiding me and don't leave me, I won't be able to handle that."
"I'm not going to leave you Marcus because I don't know what I do if it were to happen, but I don't know if I could trust you. I tell you everything that's going on in my life because you were always the one to give me advice or to be there for me. Our relationship is so one-sided, I tell you my shit and what do you do? You go use it to justify your arguments, I told you about my fake marriage and you go press Xavier about it. Unfortunately, that's how our life works, we blackmail each other into doing favors for one another, even if it means ruining each other's lives. You have the choice to walk away Marcus, I don't blame you if you do, you didn't sign up for this and you deserve to have someone who can give you a normal life." My voice starts to crack be
"I don't fucking care what I have to do to be with you, I stopped having a normal life a long time ago, I want your normal to be my normal. You have to know I would do anything for you. I shouldn't have fought Xavier, I take full responsibility for what I have done. But I just couldn't sit there letting you talk down yourself because of him, your this confident and beautiful girl who takes no one's crap, and no asshole should change that. What I'm trying to say is, don't give up on us and I won't stop defending you Esmerelda but I promise to not bring up those things that you have trusted me in."
"I hate your dumbass." I bring him into a hug and I can feel his tears on my neck, I've never seen him break down this much, and I will be grateful for meeting Xavier but the one whom my heart will always be set on is Marcus.
His arms hold me tight and I wipe tears from his face and tippy toe to kiss him. His fingers fiddle with the loophole of my jeans and his hands start to wander lower and lower.
"Come with me." He holds my hand and leads me to my room.
"Now open." I look at him with confusion, my jaw drops, there's flowers EVERYWHERE. My whole room is filled with bouquets, I look back at Marcus and I see the smile on his face that I once remember.
"You shouldn't have done this and how? We were only at the graveyard for 20 minutes-" I see Billy and Lex pop their head out from the side of the door and Marcus gives them each a wad of cash, they both go running off like little girls.
"I meant what I said, I'm sorry, and I kept track of how many times you told me not to get you flowers on every date so I added it up to be.... 86 times. It took me a while, we both know I suck at math, so do you forgive me?"
"Yes of course, but what am I going to do with all these flowers?"
"Do you want them in your room? Because I Can store them somewhere else, trust me I'll take of them."
"God I love you so much." He pulled me into a kiss and it was sure as amazing,
