Clare POV

Ringggg "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH," i scream looking over at the clock. And smashing the button. i groan, time to mail back to that dummy dumb dumb.

Marks POV

i walk back into my office to find chica on the seat. "Oh come on Chica boo, don't be like that daddy has to do his work," i smile carrying her to the floor. One mail, she mailed back?! well, that's a relief.

To: Mark

From: Clare

hey Mark, clare here, i got you email asking for a collab and yea sure i'll help:) btw i think it would be easier if we messaged. So here is my number.

86541567

I felt my heart beat in excitement, i keyed in the number and saved it into my contacts. This is going to be fun.

Clare POV

ding a message from mark? I picked my phone up stuffing more potato chips in my mouth. Hey clare got your mail ;) so where could we meet? I laugh, meet at your place silly, just send the address. I wait for a reply he sent the address and i saved it in my notes. cool thanks see ya tomorrow. And with that i switched off my phone and continued watching the television.

The next morning i woke up refreshed and yawned loudly not seeming to care, besides its my house. Just then i looked over to the clock. 12:20 sh*t , i was late. I quickly changed and got out. Running out of my house frantically hailing a cab but they were all taken. i grabbed a handful of my hair and tugged it. I resulted to calling a cab. After 20 mins it finally arrived...i quickly got in and showed the uber the address. When we finally arrived it was 1:06 i quickly paid and got out of the cab. "Alright we're safe now..." i puffed and approached the door.

*flashback*

How could he do this to me...he was suppose to be there. By my side, forever.

i shook my head this is not anything to do with romantic relationships. I hardened my head and knocked on the door. I stood and waited. Just then i could hear Chica barking away, then the door opened. "Clare! your here!" his cheery voice rang in my head. "Yea, i'm really sorry for being late..." i apologize. "Dont worry, we haven't started yet...besides filming starts at 3:00" he smiles and leads me inside. suddenly a big fluffy golden retriever came bounding towards me. OOF, i fell to the floor. "CHICA!! that's not how we treat our guest.." Mark warned. Chica whined and back off. I quickly stopped her, "Hey Chica girl! whose the big puppy gurl? hmm? Come here!" i cooed and chica came lying beside me and wagging her tail. "Awww, your the sweetest pup Chica, it's too bad you have such a bossy owner.." i looked at mark who was offended. I smiled jokingly, "just kidding, his so lucky to have a pup like you Chica!" i smiled and rubbed her belly sitting on the floor. "Wait a second...how do you know Chica?" the voice spoke. Dammit, what now? "w-what? everyone knows Chica.." i trailed off, Mark did not seem convinced. Just then i spotted name on her collar. I touched it and showed mark. "see? its on her collar." i said smartly. He frowned "okay...how could i not notice that," he laughed.

Mark's POV

She and Chica have somehow bonded on the first time they met. That is surprisingly weird i mean the fact She treats her so well. "looks like you two have bonded.." i smiled. She looks back up at me with chica attacking her with kisses, "i guess so.." she says while laughing and trying to stop Chica. "hey Mark?" she called. "yea? what is it?" i reply. "Do you have any food..i did not have any breakfast, i'm kinda hungry.." she looked embarrassed. "Food?" i laughed, "yea, i got lunch prepared, you can have brunch now i guess." i smiled and led her to the dining table.
I had made some sandwiches for lunch. "Wow, healthy." Clare proclaimed. "So do you like it or nah?" I asked as I leaned onto one of the chair. She then sits down and eats from the big plate of sandwich. Takes one bite. And then another. She likes it. "Holy crap this is good." She said with her mouth stuffed. I sat down to eat as well. "So...tell me Clare where do you come from?" I suddenly felt the urge to ask. She looks up. "Oh, I was born in Singapore. My dad is a mix as well as my mum." She smiled and chomped her sandwich. Cool. "how many siblings do you have?"I wanted to know more. "2, one brother , one sister. I'm the oldest." She said finishing up the last bits of the sandwich. Just then she asks,"how about you?". "Well, I have a brother. Just one, who is older then I am." I smiled and kept our plates. "That's cool..I wanted an older brother somehow." She trailed off. "Why? it isn't that great as you probably think is." I laugh to trying to comfort her. She frowns,"mm I think older brothers are cool for some reason. I mean, maybe I'm just tired of being the eldest one. Being the one to lead the whole damn fam." She huffed. I looked at her and sighed. "Well, don't worry. You've got me around. I bring the fun wherever I go." I smile reassuringly. She looks over and gives an unconvinced look. "Oh really..." And she walks over to the living room.

Clare's POV
Don't worry. You've got me around.
What is he trying to say? As soon as this ends. I'm never coming back ever again. I walk towards a flight of stairs and walked up. I climbed to the second floor and opened a room door. It was his recording room.

Stay. Say you will stay. Say you won't leave me. Say you won't go. Stay. Please just stay.

I shook my head. Not these voices again. I walk over to his set up where everything was pretty nicely kept. Just then I see a photo of his family. I picked it up. It was pretty faded but enough to see if you looked closely. Mark as a baby, his older brother his mum and dad. Probably before the divorce. I brushed my fingertips against the photo.
It wasn't always like this...I just stared into the photo. Chica came in and placed her head on my lap. I patted her head to sooth her. Tears fell from my eyes for some reason. I looked into Chica's puppy eyes and chuckled. Then turned around to realize mark was there. God since when was he there? I quickly wiped my tear away. There was a moment of awkward silence before i spoke, "I believe it might be time for filming?" He then was clearly shook out of his thoughts. "Hmm? Oh yea, its 3.." He trailed off before facing me again. Quickly, I stood up and pushed my way out.

Mark's POV
There is something about her. I swear that look...Just then she calls for me. "MARK!!" I ran down the steps. "Yups?" I answer. "Okay. So what are we gonna do now?" she asks dumbfounded. "Well today, we are going to be filming in the living room. Using the Wii" I say pointing to the couch. "What game?" she asks. "Er..Mario Kart?" I said. Wanted to start with something old and test her skills. She starts searching up down and around the area for the game. I frowned and covered my face with my hands. "Mark where the fuck is the game?" She asks all of a sudden. "Hmm?" I said still rubbing my temples, "It should be ri-" I put down my hand to realize. Holy fuck.

Clare's POV
"Where is it?" I said. Bending over on the ground my ass in the air, trying to find the damn game. Just then I felt a pair of eyes gazing on the sight. I turned around to see Mark's face red. "MARK." I snapped. He looked away. "W-what?" He stammered. I mentally face palmed myself, THIS PEDOPHILE WAS FKING LOOKING AT MY ASS. "Where were your eyes on?" I asked standing up in front of him. He looks away. "WHERE?" I snapped. "I WAS LOOKING FOR THE DISC TOO OKAYY!" He shouted with his face still red. I look down. "Oh one last spot." I ducked under between Mark's legs and found the game. By the time I backed out with the disc in my hand. I grabbed a fistful of my hair and pulled it back. "What?" I asked. I inserted the disc. Just then I saw Marks boner. Holy shit. He quickly covered it with a pillow near him. "WHAT? SIT." He said ashamed. Okay first. I wasn't that pretty, second, I'm not into Mark. Third, I'm not his dog. "I'm not your dog Mark..." I frowned. "But I'll take the seat anyways, thanks." I said trying to not make this so awkward. As the game started we felt better. And things became less weird. And then while I was on rainbow highway. Mark had made me drive off the map I threw my fist on his arm. "Mark!! Stop!!" I groaned as he was attempting to make me lose. "It's your fifth time wining!!! Its not fair!" He complained throwing shells at me. I somehow manage to dodge all and quickly used my boost to the finish line. I jumped up and down as I won. "DO YOU SEE THIS GUYS IM BEATING MARKIPLIER HERE!!!" I smiled and laughed at his sad face. "You only won cause I let you!!" Mark laughed. "Oh really?" I challenged giving a smirk on my face. He smiled back, "babe, I can do this everyday."
