Bullied By Dan Howell

Part 5

*SLIGHT TRIGGER WARNING*

*Date with Marcus and Alison*

I woke up about 11 AM and got ready for the date. Firstly I took a shower then got my outfit on. I put on a beanie, blue skinny jeans, and a cute t-shirt. I did my makeup and my hair. All of that took about and hour and a half. I quickly called Alison while I put on black vans.

"Hey Al"

"Hey Em. You excited?"

"Yup. He's really cute"

"Does Phil know?"

"Yup he's super excited for me he said I need a boyfriend to protect me from Dan"

"Wow he's adorable. I don't like him like that just as friends"

"I know. he just wants me to be happy"

"Yup. Is it alright if Jackson comes along?"

"Duh I want to meet him!"

"Okay good because I invited him"

"You're crazy"

"I know"

"I'll see you soon at the coffee shop in town right"

"Yup"

"Yay okay I'll see you soon"

"Okay bye love"

"Bye Al"

I said goodbye to my Mum and Dad. I quickly run to the tubes and get to London.

*At the shop*

"Emma!" Alison exclaims running up to me Jackson walking behind her. "Hey Al" I say hugging her back. Jackson then introduces himself. "Hi Emma I'm Jackson." "Hi it's nice to finally meet you" I say smiling. He said the same back then the shop door opened and I see Alison's face light up. "Marcus!" she says cheerfully going up to him and hugging him. "Hey Al. How are you love?" Marcus asks with his beautiful accent. "I'm good. I would like you to meet Emma!" She says walking over to me. "Hello Emma! It's nice to meet you" Marcus says smiling. "It's nice to meet you too" I say smiling back. "Well I hope you like coffee because we will be having loads" Marcus says happily. "Great and of course I love coffee" I say smiling looking into his bright, beautiful eyes. It was weird because I had that same feeling with Dan. I shrugged and sat down next to Marcus and across from Jackson and Alison. "You okay love?" Marcus asks. I snap out of my daze. "Y-Yeah I'm great" I say with a small smile. He nods and we all talk. "Em, are you sure you're alright?" Alison asks getting worried. "Yeah I'm fine" I say looking up.

"So how's school?" Marcus asks as Alison and Jackson talk. "It's okay" I say thinking about Dan. "What's bad about it? You can trust me. I've probably been in your situation" He says reassuringly. "Well this guy has been bullying me since the first day. He beat me up really bad and always calls me names and things. I tried to get up when he was kicking and punching me but I couldn't" I say blinking back tears. "Aw love I'm so sorry" he says pulling me into a hug. We quickly became best friends. "It's not your fault" I say hugging him back. Alison looks over at me and smiles "Emma, you've got a keeper right there." I look up at Marcus and he smiles. "I do don't I" I say smiling back. "We should be together more" Marcus suggests. "I agree" I say slightly blushing. "Don't blush silly" He says poking my cheek. That made me blush even more. "I can't help it" I say pushing my air out of my face.

"Look Emma, I really like you and you should know that so it's not awkward" he admits shyly. "Trust me, I like you too" I say kissing his cheek. "Aww" Alison says smiling and quietly clapping. "Alison it's not like we're married, chill" I joke. "I can't help it you guys are to cute!" "Thanks Al" Marcus and I say happily in unison.
