Unfortunatly, I was happy. All the worries that someone was either imperinating my father and my father was dead disapeared. No matter how much I wanted to believe that was him on the phone, It was hard to believe that it was him on the phone. Hearing from Marcus that it was his dad that was dead and not mine, was relief to my ears.
I hugged him and started crying. Crying from joy that it wasn't my dad and crying that Marcus lost his dad at war.
"Sh. It's alright Michelle. You don't need to cry, I'm over it."
He patted my back in comfort so that I would stop crying but I was so happy, How could I not cry for joy?
"Im sorry for your loss Marcus." I tried to feel sad for him but I just couldnt. My happiness was overriding any sadness i could feel.
"So, Michelle. Would you like to go get some cofee with me or some breakfast? There is a IHop around the corner from my place which is about 10 minutes from here. I had to move since someone took my old house. My dad sold it after I left, since he knew he was going to war."
How can I say no?
"Sure, but I'll have to go grab my things."
I ran into my living room and found my pruse with some money, a brush, and some other unneeded things.
Marcus was waiting for me in the dining hall.
"Ready to go love?"
I giggle when he calls me love.
"Yup. Lets go."
*******************
Marcus drove us to IHop. It was a quiet ride. Not awkward, but peaceful. Honestly, I feel like I've known him forever. He seems so helpful and nice, like he would help me through anything.
We walked into IHop and was seated by an attractive young waiter whose name tag said "Carlos".
Carlos seated us in the corner alone and isolated from other people. The walls were orange and the floor was orange. It was to peppy and happy. I really didn't like it.
"What can I get the beautiful young lady?" Carlos asked flirtatiously. Marcus was gripping the table and glaring at Carlos.
I started to squrim in my seat and felt extremly uncomfortable by the situation.
"Well, I'll have water. Marucs?"
I stared at Marcus, wonderign if he would unclence his fists or relax but he didn't. He just kept staring at Carlos.
"Water." he growled.
Carlos saw he expresion on his face and rushed to get away from our table. I continued looking at Marcus but he was still staring at the direction of Carlos. He glanced at me and noticed my afraid face and imediately started calming down.
"I'm sorry Michelle. If I knew I was scaring you..."
I blocked him out. He was saying all these nice things and he said them all with an emotionless face.
Carlos came running back with our waters and ran back to go wait on someone else before havign to feel Marcus's eyes glare on him again.
I need to get out of here.
I was waiting for the right time to ask to go to the bathroom but it seemed like Marcus was going on forever. I silently was thinking of a plan.
I grabbed my water to grab a sip...
I splashed the water in Marcus's face and ran outside. The was a large wheat feild in the back and that's exactly where I went. Marcus wasn't caring or nice. He wasa fake. A lousy one too. I ran as fast as I could and as far as I thought I could before hear Marcus coming for me. I fell down and stayed still. I heard Marcus's voice in the distance.
"Michelle!" he growled.
"You never run away from me like that okay?! I'm trying to protect you and what you do is run-"
He was cut off my a loud gun shot. I heard Marcus yell in pain.
I ran out from the spot I was laying at and imediatley ran towards where Marcus was. There was a pool of blood around his side of his body.
"Marcus..." i wept. I called 911 but they were too slow. He was losing so much blood. fast.
He looked up at me with saddend eyes.
"Im... Sorry..."
He closed his eyes after he was done speaking.
"MARCUS!" I yelled for him to come back to me. I was weeping and crying. The ambulance showed up and and a paramedic ripped Marcus from my arms. An officer took me to his car and took me home. My mum was on a buisnes trip so she wouldn't be home. It was about 12:30 and I was so tired.
I went inside and locked the door and windows and turned on security.
I went into my room and layed down
I was almost asleep when someone walked into my room I was freaking out and stayed still. They walked closer and I screamed.
"Sh... It's okay love..."
It was Marcus. He crawled into bed next to me, being aware of his side and not to hurt himself. I curled up into his chest. I've never been happier in my life.
clif hanger :)
he wont die... yet ;)
