star vs the forces of love

Love? it can't be.

Star's POV
-At home-

I went to my room and started packing my clothes jnto a huge suitcase. Marco doesn't need me anymore. I am through with this. I tried more than once but it was never enough.

If he wants to suffer alone, let him. Tears streamed down my face as I thought of all the amazing adventures we had. All of this because of Jackie. She doesn't even really like him.

I sighed and sat down on my bed as I zipped the suitcase closed. This was it. Finally time to leave... its better this way. I started to cry again.

Marco's POV

Star hasn't come out of her room all afternoon. Maybe she took what I said too personally...

I am so confused. First Jackie ditches me, then Star attacks her, leaving her with cuts everywhere, then she wonders why I'm mad at her. I told her to leave Jackie alone, but she never listens to me.

I decided it's time to go check up on her.
I walked up to her room and knocked on the door. She didn't answer. "Star, c'mon I know you're in there." I said and knocked again.
I heard some moving behind the door and she finally opened it.

"Star, have you been crying?" I asked and frowned. She just gave me a blank stare and laughed as if I was pathetic. "What do you think, Marco?" She asked and folded her arms. I looked down. "If this is because of what I said in class, I didn't mean it like that... I mean, after you attacked Jackie..." I started but her mouth fell open. "What?" I asked and looked at her. "I didn't attack her, I had a casual conversation with her, she shoved me." Star said and I got confused. "But Jackie has cuts all over..." I said and frowned. "Well I'm telling you I didn't lay a finger on her." Star said and started to look interested. "S-so you're saying she framed you?" I asked and Star nodded. "Oh..." was all in could say.

I stepped into Star's room and saw the suitcases. I felt myself go weak inside. "S-star... w-why are there suitcases everywhere?" I asked and felt my heart beat in my throat. "I'm going home..." She said and smiled sadly. "Home? Like, back to Mewni?" I asked and blinked a few times. "Yeah... I think it's better for both of us if I go away." She said and I started to tear up. "Star... you can't just leave me!" I pleaded and sat on her bed. I wiped away a few tears. This was all my fault.
"Marco i'm sorry, but I mess up everything! You have enough problems, you don't need me to complicate it!" She said and sighed.

It was now or never.

I got up and walked over to her. I took her hands in mine. "Star, listen, without you... my life just isn't the same. Ever since you came to earth, it feels as if I have grown as a person! And when I was waiting for Jackie to show up for our date, an old lady told me about love..." I took a deep breath and I felt myself blush. Star was just staring at me in awe. "She told me, love is when you feel at home with a person, when you feel as if you can be yourself without having to pretend to be anything else. When you start accepting a person so much that you don't even realise that they have flaws. And... what I guess I'm trying to say is..." I looked into her eyes and I saw she had tears in them. "Star, when I'm with you, I feel all of those things. You understand me better than anyone else ever has. You were there for me in my darkest hours and without you I feel lost." It felt as if I was going to pass out any second. My knees were going weak and my pulse quickened. "I-i think I love you."

[A/N --- well that escalated quickly... lovely cliffhanger for you... how will Star react? :D
I love plot twists...]
