Imagine If....

Eavesdropping Destroyed You... {Pt 2}

As you were riding in the car with Mark, you didn't pay attention to anything. Well, nothing except for the fact that as he slowly drove down the street, the anger levels in Mark were slowly rising. Along with the tight muscle in his jaw, his hands were now clutching the steering wheel. Just as you went to open your mouth to ask him if he was ok, Mark pulled the car to a stop. Glancing out the window, you recognized it as Tony's house.

Your eyes once again filled with tears as you stared at Mark. "No.. I can't be here. Please Mark, just drive away." He avoided your eyes as he took the keys out of the ignition.

"Y/N, you need to do this. Breaking up with Tony is the best thing you could do for yourself at this point. I know it's going to be hard, but you can do this." You gave Mark a skeptical look as you eyes darted between him and the house.

"I'll be there with you the entire time. I promise I won't let anything happen to you." As you looked into Mark's eyes, all the doubt suddenly cleared your mind. Sure, you were still devastated, but you now knew what you had to do.

You didn't bother wiping your eyes as you climbed out of the hybrid. Not waiting for Mark, you made your way back up to the doorstep you were on not long ago. With your eyes now behind you, you watched as Mark dashed out of the car to catch up with you. He didn't break a sweat doing that. You were always envious of the fact that Mark was naturally muscular, where the little muscle you had came from working out twice a week.

You brought your hand up to the door, resting your knuckles against the wood grain. As you stood there, you couldn't bring yourself to do it. You took a breath and tried once more, but your hand seemed frozen in place.

As if Mark could sense your hesitation, he rested a hand on the small of your back as he whispered, "Go ahead, you can do this.."

Taking one last breath, you finally mustered up the courage. The loud knock seemed to resonate throughout the entire neighborhood. It seemed it was only a second later when Tony slowly opened up the door, his normal Cheshire cat grin plastered on his face. 

"Someone's a little late," Tony's eyes slowly began scanning over you. This used to make you feel special, but now you felt nothing but disgust by this action. "But I do have to say, it was well worth the wait. Looking good babe.." Mark's hand slipped from your back but he stayed directly behind you.

"No, you don't get to say that to me.... not after your phone call with Blake." You were surprised at the bravery that seemed to be forming out of thin air. Tony's eyebrow raised, as well as his eyes raised to look at something behind you, presumably Mark.

"Look I don't know what you're talking about, and what's... He doing here?" He practically spat out. Tony was never a fan of Mark, and vice verse. 

"We're not talking about him damn it! We're talking about the fact I heard your fucking phone call with Blake! Ya know, the one where you said the only reason you kept me around was because I was good in bed! Does that jog your fucking memory for you?" Not only was the anger rising inside you, but the tears poured out of your eyes like no tomorrow.

"I may never get the chance to say this again, but you're a scumbag you know that? Stringing girls along, just for the sex? Not only is that beyond childish, but it really showcases the true asshole that resides in you." You took a deep breath before continuing. "Obviously, this is over, and I hope one day, maybe you can pull your head out of your ass long enough to know relationships are based off more than just booty calls." You turned on your heels, no longer wanting Tony or Mark watching the mess you were slowly starting to make of yourself. You said what you wanted to say, now you could leave.

"Wait," Mark spoke, latching onto your wrist with his hand right. "You may be done, but I'm sure as hell not." You whipped around, looking up at Mark with wide eyes. What the hell was he going to say? Your view of Tony was blocked as Mark now took a bladed stance between the two of you.
