The new girl nextdoor

chapter 18: the battle is won

Marks POV

"The votes are in and the teams will be selected right now!" the host said a gestured to the massive screen in front of us, on the screen showed the votings for the teams "our first team is. Jack,mark and Tara so that leaves Jordan, Bob and Wade in the oppiste team" everyone cheered and clapped as we sat in our groups on the two different sofas, the crew members set up the consuls up to the massive screen and handed us a Xbox controler each "so-" the host beamed into the microphone "the games that will be played are; Mario carts racing, mortal combat and call of duty. The teams will be vsing one another in each game and I will keep a scoreboard, how the scoreboard works is that every point you get will be added up with the rest of you're teams points and the team with the highest score win!" I looked saw Tara in the corner of my eye with the biggest grin on her face which made me smile seeing that she was having a good time.

"Let the games begin!"

Taras POV

The first game we played was Mario carts racing I was racing as peach although I would I liked to be racing as Luigi but jack bet me too it, it was the last lap of the fourth game and I was coming in first place and I was about to cross the finish line when out of nowhere wade crashed into me making me spin out of control and leading to his victory "wade you asshole!" I giggled and I playfully glared at him everyone else just laughed at my little fit "I had that" I stuck my tounge out at him and turn my attention back to the screen "last place! God damit!" I laughed "it's okay Tara cause now you can kick his ass in mortal combat, quite literally!" Jack giggled at his own joke "jack nobody else is laughing at you're joke" bob pointed out and the whole coward laughed. Next was indeed mortal combat one of my all time favourite games growing up as a kid along with many others, it was a one on one game but each member of the team's got to verse everyone less on the other team I won bob only just, I kicked wades ass it was so funny and Jordan bet me but overal I did pretty good. "Okay, we are now going to have a little rest and we will start this up again in 20 minutes so you can go outside or stay inside here if you please" the host spoke up I saw lots of people leave to go outside but their was probably about 300 who had stayed seated. Jordan walked over to me "are you coming back stage with the rest of us?" I look at Jordan in confusion "why would I go backstage when their are fans that I could interact with right here??" I thought to myself "no thank you jordan" I walked off the stage and made my way to the seated fans.

Mark's POV

I watched as Tara made her way down to the fans and the way she interacted with them she seemed to create this atmosphere in the room that just seemed so warm and loving.
"What you doing their mark?" Jack said from behind me I turned and looked at jack then back at the fans "we shouldn't be hiding backstage, we should be talking among our fans" and with that I myself made my way over to the fans. "Hello their" I sat down next to a young girl and her mother "hi Mark!" The little girls eyes widened with excitement "are you having a good time?" I asked smiling at her "yes I'm loving it!" "Well I'm glad. What been the best part so far?" "Meeting you Mark!" The little girl smiled brightly with sparkling eyes "aww that's so sweet of you, you have just made my day" I felt my heart growing warm "well your my hero mark! I've dreamed about meeting you for so long now" "why's that?" I asked "I've got cancer that can't be removed and watching you're videos brings me back some of the joy I once had before all this" hearing these words almost brought me to tears this girl looks to be 9 years old and will die at such a young age and through all her misery she found happiness in me "can I tell you a serect that you promise not to tell anyone?" I told the girl, she nodded her head "well you're my hero.''

3 hours later and the scoreboard was just being summed up we entertained the coward with our stupidity while that was happening then finally the host spoke up "alright folks the moment you're all been waiting for-" the coward begun cheering "-the winning team is......Mark,jack and Tara!" The whole coward went wild.

"The battle has been won!"
