I felt as if my heart stopped beating as I saw both Marcus and Alex freeze.
"Marcus!"
I ran over to him and hugged him.
"I'm fine, I'm fine. You're squeezing the air out of me right now."
"I'm sorry but I'm just happy you're okay."
Sirens sounded in the distance and soon my front yard was crawling with police officers and an ambulance.
Alex wasn't dead, sadly.
However Marcus had shot him in his arm to stop the assault.
"Ma'am, I need you to come with us and tell us what happened and sir you'll do the same with these officers."
I went and recounted all that happened, it was then I recognized how blessed I was.
If Marcus hadn't showed up when he did, who knew what would have happened.
It was way late when the officers left the house and I really saw how much the living room and kitchen were in shambles.
From the fight and Alex's attempts at decorating my home was in need of a good cleaning.
"Are you staying here tonight?"
I had almost forgotten Marcus was still here.
"Um, maybe not. What about you drop me off at a hotel or something."
I would call one of the girls but it was late and I didn't want to recount the nights events again right now so my best bet for peace and quiet was a hotel.
"Or you can just come to my place for the night?"
"Why? I don't know you like that. We aren't having sex-"
"For someone who hates persons assuming, you do that quite a lot. My house is big enough trust me, you'll have your own room and sex was the furthest thing from my mind. I just would feel better knowing you are safe."
"Well, fine. I'll stay with you, but only because I'm tired."

The next morning I woke up to the smell of blueberry pancakes and coffee.
I panicked slightly then remembered I was at Marcus' house.
I looked around the room and took in the decor.
The room was completely painted in turquoise, with stars painted in the ceiling I realized that when the lights were on the stars became invisible. The furniture were all black and the bed sheets matched the paint.
The room gave me a serene feeling and I felt as if I could lay there forever, but I couldn't. I had things to do. I hadn't even decided if I should attend work or not as yet.
I looked at my phone plugged in an outlet and it read 9:15am. Guess that answered the work question.
I got up and went downstairs because in any case I had things to do.
I got to the kitchen with ease and all I could think of was yummy and I wasn't referring to the breakfast he was preparing.
