Did Mark really just confess his love to me? All of my stressed was released from my body at one time. How good it felt. I couldn't help but smile. No words can express the way that I feel. I never see the light in things, so I create a very lousy response. "Are you sure?"

Mark nods his head, "Yes, I'm sure." He says through his smiles. All I know is that Mark came over to me and gave me a hug. My brain is astonished by everything that has happened today. Mark slightly pulled away from me, "would you like to date me?" He asked curiously.

What a dumb question. If I love him, why wouldn't I date him? "Y-yes" I said full of joy. Dark thought that he was going to get a negative response from the both of us, but it turned into something good. And now, I have a boyfriend.

About a week later I return to my old room, not terrified about the past experiences that had happened here. Although it may leave scars, I can move past, and improve on it. Dark interrupted my daily Netflix binge on my new phone Mark had got me.

"I'd like to thank you." I told Dark as he first entered, pausing my show. "I've been dating Mark for about a week and I have never been happier. And this is all because of you." I do admit that I tried to make him mad. The outcome was the complete opposite of what he wanted.

"Shut up." He whispered under his breath. My wheelchair sat by my bed, alone. I can't wait until I can get rid of that stupid thing. Just hold out a little while longer. I haven't had all that much pain, which is a surprise to me. I start to daydream, as Dark intrudes my thoughts, "So I have put everything behind me. Let's move on."

"You say that all the time." I sort of interrupted him.

"Anyway, would you like to hang out? I promise that I have no tricks up my sleeve or plans to make you do things you don't want to do. I just really want to hang out with you, get to know you better. You are a cute little thing after all."

To save myself from boredom, I accepted his request. What harm could come from one day with Dark? Hopefully not much. I spent all day setting up my phone, putting in special dates and getting my favorite apps. "What do you want to do?" I ask casually. I tried my hardest to act like we have no past, like nothing happened. We are normal people.

"Well," He started. I noise came from my phone and I saw that I had a notification. It said that I had a plan for today. A doctor visit?

I cut Dark off as fast as I could, "Wait, I have an idea! You can go to the doctor with me, today is the day that I get my cast off!" I could tell that Dark was not happy with the plans that I have. Really he was put in a situation where he doesn't really have a choice.

"Fine let's go," He motioned to the door. Then he realized that I couldn't really move fast out of my bed.

"Help," I said making grabby hands towards him. Am I pushing myself too far towards him? I guess my neediness got to the best of me. Maybe this was we could bond. I can't even get the thought in my head of us becoming friends, again I might add.

Dark lifted me up with a smile on his face. This time it was not a creepy smile, it seemed genuine. Like he actually enjoyed being with me. Maybe he was actually sorry about what happened. He pushed me out of the house and into someone's car. All I could assume is that it was Mark's.

We drove to the doctors, having a great conversation. "So," Dark trailed his voice, "are you exited to get rid of that stupid thing?"

I stared at the window watching everything go by. Just my luck, we get stuck in some bad traffic. "Exited is an understatement." I responded dully. Inside my body, I was energised and ready for anything. Somehow on the outside, I was sluggish and not feeling like doing anything.

After building up time in the car together, Dark decided to do something miraculous, "What's it like?" He asked.

The first thing I thought of was, what? "What's what like?" I asked back.

"What's it like to be loved." Dark was serious as he stared at the road intensely. My heart began to shatter piece by piece. He does have a soft side to him. "I mean, you have a boyfriend, and actual friends. That must feel amazing."

I stopped looking out of the boring window and faced him. "It feels like an explosion in your chest. Like blood is flowing everywhere and you can feel it. There is this warmth that is created. It feels welcoming and good." I tried to explain to the best of my ability, which was still way off. "And you should have this feeling too. I am your friend." It may have been a lie, but it was a good one. I can't stand it when people aren't happy. Cheering them up is all I want.

"No you're not." He snapped back at me.

I was just trying to make things better. "I am your friend, but only when you accept me as one. Then you will know the true feeling."

My words made Dark pause for a second. He knew that I was right. He just doesn't want to admit it. We talked for s while longer about random shit and video games. One of my favorite topics, by the way.

After exiting from all the traffic, we entered the doctors office. "Hi Dr. Haney. It's so glad to see you again." He smiled at me glad to see me too. This made Dark become a little skeptical.

"Today is the big day Ms. (L/N)!" He said looking at some papers. All the writing on there I couldn't understand. That is why I never became a doctor. Everything is too complicated. I nodded in excitement.

Dark stood by my side while we went over everything and got my cast off. My leg felt free and movable. It was a feeling that I have longed for. I missed my leg. "Thank you so much Peter!" I said as we were wrapping up my appointment.

"No problem," Dr. Haney responded, "It is my job, anyway." And with that we left, and Dark and I were both happy.

I walked back to the car and got in. It felt like a whole new experience, like the car has miraculously changed completely. "Thanks for taking me here, Dark. I actually liked hanging out with you." My message made Dark smile.

"Well, we aren't done. I have another place I want to take you."

Friendships can be built and destroyed in a second.
