I Don't Want to Lose You ~A Markiplier Fanfiction~

Chapter 16

hey guys!! how is everyone doing? update on everything: i did get the job XD! but i wanted to go ahead and write a new chapter. so here you go!! also, i felt that the song Please Don't Go by Joel Adams would fit the mood of this chapter. 

Your POV

A few hours have passed by, and it was almost time to set up for the panel. The meet and greet was still going on, but the line has been getting smaller and smaller. A small percentage of the fans recognized who I was and asked for pictures. The fans were always sweet. Most of the time, I just watched the guys have fun meeting everyone. It's good to know that both the guys and the fans are having a good time. 

The last fan came to greet the guys and then left shortly after. I pulled out my phone from my pocket to check time. We had about an hour left before the panel would start. We all decided to grab something to eat to pass the time. I asked my co-worker, Luke, to grab a few pizzas and meet us in the panel room. As we made our way into the panel room, the guys immediately went onto the stage and sat behind the table. Jack put his feet on top of the table, so did Wade. Mark was standing behind the podium, and Bob was just sitting normally next to Jack. I sat in the front row texting Hayley. I can't wait to see her tomorrow. Soon, she would be moving in with me. 

As I was finishing the last text, Luke came in with the pizzas. He had about six boxes. He handed me a box and decided to sit on the floor. The guys also had their own pizza boxes. Jack must have seen me by myself and decided to eat with me. 

"You know, you can't eat pizza by yourself, right?" He asked and started eating a slice. 

"And why is that, Mr. McLoughlin?" I asked. 

"Because, pizza is a party food. And a party with just one person isn't a good party." 

"Okay then." I then grabbed a slice from my box and leaned my head on the front of the chair. 

"Today has been crazy so far, but fun at the same time. I'm glad I was able to come this year." Jack said.

"Yeah, it wouldn't be fun without my favorite Irish friend." I stated.

"Who? Little ole' me?" Jack said pointing to his face. 

"No, Liam Neeson. Yes, you!"

"Yay! Wait, you're friends with Liam Neeson?" He screamed.

"I wish!" I replied.

We continued to talk and laugh at the weirdest things. Then Bob, Wade, and Mark came over when we started to talk about Liam Neeson. Mark sat next to me, which created an awkward tension for me. Wade and Bob sat in chairs right in front of us, and Jack was on the other side of me. It was fun being able to talk to some of my friends again. Sure, I always talked to Hayley, but when I moved, I became more distant with people. The only other people I would talk to would be Audrey, Luke, and other co-workers. I met Luke when I started working at Pax two years ago. We then became friends on Xbox Live, and I met a few of his friends. That's when I started filming console game plays. 

I told the guys I had to use the restroom. I got up from my spot and made my way to the door. Once I was out the door, the restroom was just to the left around the corner. I walked in and attended to my business. When I finished, I washed my hands and went outside. There stood Mark, near the little water fountain. 

Was he waiting on me?

Mark's POV

I was looking at me phone when I started to hear footsteps. I saw (Y/n) walk out of the bathroom. I didn't want to seem like a stalker, but I really wanted to talk to her. She looked at me and cocked an eyebrow. 

"Oh-uh, hey (Y/n)." I said and scratched the back of my neck.

"Did you follow me?" She asked.

"No! I mean, I wanted to talk to you. Just the two of us. Please?" 

"Mark, we don't have time. The panel will start in about fifteen minutes. We need to prepare."

"(Y/n), please? I have missed you so much."

"Really? Last time I recall, I'm just a sorry, worthless excuse of a friend." 

Her voice sounded harsh, but hurt as well. I started to feel the guilt come back as I looked at her. Her head hung low as she looked at the ground. I wanted to just hug her and apologize for everything, but I know that won't make up anything. I walked closer to her and grabbed her chin gently. I slowly lifted her head to look her in the eyes. Her eyes were starting to become glossy. Her once beautiful, (e/c) eyes were dull, as if she hasn't seen the light of day in forever. This was starting to make me tear up. I never meant to do this to anyone, let alone her. She was always there for me, but this is what I gave her in return. 

"I'm sorry. I'm so, so sorry." I whispered. I made sure to look deeply into her eyes. 

"It doesn't matter anymore, okay? We need to go." (Y/n) said as she wiped underneath her eyes. 

She backed a little bit away from me and tried to bring herself back together. She walked past me and to the panel room door. She took a deep breath and walked in. I stayed in place before moving to the door. I stood there and looked at the door handle. My thoughts started to run ramped in my head about what just happened. Then, my thoughts were interrupted when the intercom announced that my panel was about to begin. 

I walked into the room and made my way to the stage. I sat next to Jack and made sure I looked presentable. Jack saw my expression and asked if I was okay. I nodded and told him not to worry about me. When we finished talking, fans were already filling in seats and started screaming. Bob and Wade finally made their way onto the stage. I searched the room to find (Y/n). I finally spotted her talking to Luke, who was managing a camera in the far right corner in the back. They were laughing about something and I was feeling different. It was a mixture of jealousy and sadness. I don't know why jealousy was there, but I felt sad just by looking at them. Deciding to brush those feelings away, I stood up and walked to the podium. 

Let's just get this over with...

"Hello everyone, and welcome to the Markiplier and Friends panel!"
