Georgia's P.O.V

It has been a day since the event. I am now scared. Mark has been acting strange and I don't know why. I feel he isn't telling me something, like he doesn't trust me anymore. Meanwhile, I pace through the house waiting for Marzia to get ready so we can go to the store. She finally came out and I rushed to the door. Marzia sighed and we took Mark's car to go there. Marzia drove me and I sat at front, scared for my life...literally. Mark is hiding something from me and now I need to go to the store for it.

"It's going to be okay Georgia"
"You're not in my position Marzia!"
"True but I might be someday"
"What makes it worse is that Mark isn't telling me something and it sounds really important. Has he lost his trust with me?"
"Why should you say that? Mark loves you and you know it! Don't stress yourself out about it, just concentrate on the one task you have now"
"Thanks"

We arrived at the store. Marzia and I split ways so Marzia could do the groceries while I focused on my task ahead. I walked slowly now as nervous as ever. I may look older doing this but it still makes me feel so embarrassed. I kept going until I reached the aisle. I took a deep breath and jogged in the aisle. I found what I was looking for but which one? Why did life create brands?! Some were cheap and some were expensive.

All of a sudden, I heard a voice and I knew that I was a dead girl.

"Georgia, what are you doing looking for that? On an errand for someone?" The voice asked

I turned and stood up to confront the person. Suzy.

"Hey Suzy, yeah, just on an errand for someone" I lied nicely
"Who?"
"I pefer to keep their identity private. She didn't want this to leak out so yeah"
"Oh, I understand. I hope things go well for her"
"I hope so too"
"Also, I think that brand is said to be reliable"
"Thanks, it was confusing with all these brands. They should just have one brand"
"Hehe, well see ya around Georgia"
"Bye Suzy"

Suzy left the aisle and I grabbed the preferred brand. I held it close to me and I went around looking for Marzia. I found her as she was looking through the pasta section of the aisle. I jogged towards her and we went to the check out and sorted the groceries. We walked out with groceries in hands and placed them in the car. We drove back home and brought the groceries in to be put away. The minute I placed the groceries in my hands down, I grabbed the item and ran.

Okay, how does this thing work? Uh huh...yep...okay...alright then. I followed the instructions carefully and then I waited. Waited for the life or death of me. I noticed that the thing became clear to read. I checked the outcome.

My relationship with Mark is gone!

Mark's P.O.V

I had finished recording a game and I took off my headphones. I left the room and sat down, thinking about the situation at hand. What if this goes wrong? I can't let this ruin anything. Arin sat in front of me and gave me a smile.

"Don't worry Mark, it will go well"
"I want it to go well, but there's something wrong Arin"
"What do you mean?"
"Georgia hasn't acted like herself since yesterday. She looks like she has been panicking about something"
"Well what do you think that means?"
"I think Georgia has done something but I don't know what"
"I think Georgia will tell you in her own time"
"But, what if she's self harmed again? what if she has been having suicidal thoughts? what if-"
"Mark, stop overreacting. It probably a cold or something"
"Right sure"
"You really care about her"
"I don't want to lose Georgia. I almost lost her once and I don't want it to happen again"

Arin gave me a pat on the back and left to do something. I ran my hands through my hair and I gave Georgia a call. I rang her phone and she picked up. Except it wasn't Georgia, it was Marzia.

"Hello?" Marzia's voice greeted
"Hey Marzia, it's Mark, can you put me onto Georgia? I need to talk to her about something"
"...Georgia is doing a writing binge for a novel and she told me that she doesn't want to be disturbed. Can I leave a message for her once she is done?"
"No it's okay, I'll just talk to her myself face to face. It will be much more better anyway"
"Alright then, I will let her know you called though in case she wants to stop her writing binge to talk to her sweetheart"
"Okay, bye Marzia"
"Bye"

I hung up the phone and placed it in my pocket. Then I felt the item in my pocket. I have waited for so long to do this and now I will to the girl I love. I went back into my office and sorted out my gameplay. I saved the recording and started on a video file, saving it before I started editing. But I didn't need to edit this video right now. I need to go talk to Georgia. I asked Barry who picked me up in the first place to take me home.

Georgia's P.O.V

I was shaking that Mark thought to talk to me face to face rather than on the phone. That fact scared me. Soon enough Mark was home and he sat down in front of me.

"Georgia?" Mark said
"Yes?"
"I wanted to ask you this question since I fell in love with you. You have been one of the best things in my life. And I want to ask you something very important. Georgia Shania Cartner, my love, will you be my wife?"
