It had been exactly one week since I had last heard from Mark. Every single one of my calls went straight to voicemail and every text read, but never replied to. He had not left his apartment from my understanding (which he didn't do much anyway) but he always got the newspaper. Seven rolled up papers were at his door, untouched, unread.
Concerned, I settled on texting him.
Hey Mark.
It wasn't anything particularly thought-provoking, but it was enough. I expected nothing, but after a few minutes, Mark responded.
Hey.
That was it. I was ignored for two days and all I got was a 'hey'. Maybe I had become too accustomed to Mark's caring charm. Anger oozed out of me. There was no reason for him to be upset with me, and I thought we had a great movie session. I was starting to wonder if this was his way of breaking up with me.
Mark, it has been a week.
I pressed send wearily, knowing I should've warmed him up a little before delving straight into the sea of awkward.
Has it? Was all that got sent back.
Yes. Can we talk? I'm not mad at you or anything. I tried to assure him.
I'd rather not.
I stared at my screen as a flood of emotion came upon me. What had gotten into him? My phone buzzed once again and I grabbed my phone with intense anticipation, but it was a facetime call from Felix.
"Hey y/n," Felix began, "are you with Mark? We were supposed to record a video two hours ago at Ken's."
"Sorry Felix I don't know anything about Mark right now. He hasn't left the house in a week and he doesn't want to talk to me." I admitted sadly. I didn't feel the need to tell them what happened a few nights ago. The marriage thing caught me off guard, but I didn't really care that he said it. I thought it was actually kind of cute. Did I love Mark already? Could that have even been possible? I drank out of my mug, and ran my fingers through my hair in deep thought.
"Hey are you okay?" Felix asked.
"Yeah I'm fine just YouTube stuff stressing me out." I lied
Ken grabbed the phone from Felix's hand and whispered, "is this about him partyin' the other night? I think we did a pretty good job stoppin' people from recordin' if you ask me."
"Without a thank you!" Felix yelled.
I simply rolled my eyes.
"Can you go check on him?" Felix asked.
"Why don't you two? He doesn't even want to speak to me!" I barked. Ken and Felix both looked at me with wide eyes. It resembled Trip and Grace's faces in Façade at the mention of a melon. "Sorry." I mumbled.
I plopped down on the couch in an emotionally exhausted huff and propped my phone up on some spare books on the coffee table.
"Y/n, a great philosopher once said, 'let it go! Let it go!' " As Felix began belting out notes, Ken and I shielded our ears.
"She also taught me to let the storm rage on." I reminded. Felix nodded in acknowledgment.
"But it's funny how some distance, makes everything seem small!"
"Could you two quit it with the Frozen?" Ken shouted, startling Felix and I. "Mark is upset and we need to find out why."
"Well how am I supposed to do that geniuses? Please tell me." I asked sarcastically.
