Coming Home (Adopted By Markiplier Sequel)

Chapter 8

PIC: Jasmine (just imagine her blue eyes as hazel)

POV: Krystal

I felt like I was choking, my words caught up in my throat. My body was shaking, my eyes wide with fear. I couldn't move, just stand there and look at the couple.

"Krystal?" Mark let go of Jasmine's hand, walking over to me, "What's wrong?"

"C-Out-s-ide." I was able to get out, hoping he understood.

He nodded slightly, worry in his eyes as he lead me outside, closing the door behind us, "Ok, what's wrong with you?"

"Don't you understand what you're doing?" The words finally found their way out with struggle, "You're repeating Hazel!"

"Jasmine's not like Hazel, she's different." Mark couldn't look at me, hurt evident on his face once again.

"That's what you said about Hazel, remember what she did? She abused us Mark! I don't want another Hazel!"

"You said you'd stand by me..." He said, finally looking at me, his eyes were glassy, making me regret this even more.

"Don't you think I was saying that just so I wouldn't hurt you? I've just been hurting you minute after minute with shit i'm saying."

"You're not-"

"I see it on your face Mark. You can't hide that."

His lip quivered and he shook his head, "Krystal, she was there when I couldn't handle you being gone. Before Jack came, I couldn't do it. I love her because of that."

My eyes wandered down to Cooper, who was sleeping in my arms. I couldn't look at him. The sadness in his eyes, how his voice sounds when he's on the verge of crying, high pitched. "You won't understand, and I don't expect you to, but please...please just try to like her. If you don't, I won't force you to, but try."

"Mark." I sighed, "Here's the problem." Looking into his teary eyes, I continued, "I just don't want another Hazel."

He sniffled, wiping away stray tears as we stood there, looking at each other. Desperately, desperately, I wanted to win. I wanted to just want him to let her go. I know it sounds selfish but...I don't want another Hazel...and one other reason.

"Krystal, she's not going to be another Hazel. I love her and...I haven't had a girlfriend in three years! Or just someone that made me so happy....I can't give that up."

A tear rolled down my cheek as the front door opened. Jasmine walked out, looking between the sad and betrayed faces of the two of us. Cooper started stirring as she walked out and jumped out of my arms, chasing after a butterfly. At least someone was still happy. 

My heart felt betrayed. I thought I was making him happy, but he still needed someone else. I wasn't enough for him, so much that he had to go and get a girlfriend just for him to be happy. Wiping away the tears, I walked back to the car without another word.

We stayed silent most of the drive home, Cooper sleeping on my lap once again. That puppy can sleep like a bear during hibernation. But anyways, away from the sleeping puppy. Mark looked at me quickly, eyes turning back onto the road, "Krystal i'm sorry."

"Shut it Mark. I don't want to hear how 'sorry' you are. You said that I was bringing you happiness, but apparently that wasn't enough."

"She was making me happy when you aren't around."

I pushed away what he said, "How long were you to together?"

He was hesitant to answer, "A couple minutes before I came back out of the house for you to meet her."
