Maria's pov...
My brother.
Maria: Hold on guys my brothers calling me.
I answer it.
Maria: Hello?
Tyler: WHY ARE YOU HANGING OUT WITH MARK?!
Maria: Because I can. It's okay. Chloe's mom knows them very well okay?
Tyler: No that's not okay. I don't like you hanging out with guys!
Maria: Well Tyler I'm sorry but. We're dating and there's nothing you can do about it.
Tyler: I know you guys are dating. I have your snapchat remember? Yeah. Um no.
Maria: TYLER HE STUCK UP FOR ME TODAY A LOT!! SO BE HAPPY BECAUSE IF IT WEREN'T FOR HIM, ID PROBABLY BE DEAD RIGHT NOW. BYE.
I hang up.
Mark: Dead?
Maria: Nevermind.
A tear starts rolling down my cheek.
Maria: Can I get on your back?
Mark: Yeah.
I get on his back and put my head into his shoulder and start to cry.
Mark: Are you okay Maria?
I pick my head up.
Maria: Yup. Just tired.
You could tell I've been crying in my voice.
Mark: Maria. What's wrong.
Maria: nothing.
I put my head down.
Maria: *mumbles* you smell good.
Mark: *laughs a little* Seriously though what's wrong?
Maria: it's okay Mark. I'm okay
Mark: Maria no you're not I can tell. What's wrong.
Chloe: Even I can tell somethings wrong with you Maria. What's wrong?
Maria: Nothing! I'm just tired!
Mark: well my shoulder isn't getting wet from rain Maria. What's wrong.
Maria: Jesus.
Mark: Yeah I know that was like really mean I'm sorry. But what's wrong.
Chloe: Maria. You can tell us. We're you're best friends. Well I am. He's your boyfriend. But still.
Maria: I'm sorry but I can't.
Mark: Why not?

Marks pov..

Maria: It's really personal and I feel like if I say anything you guys will think I'm stupid and Mark I feel like you'll break up with me and everything so never mind. It's not important.
Mark: Why would I break up with you because of the reason why you're sad?! That's just messed up!
Chloe: Yeah Maria. We love you. You can tell us.
Maria: I um. I don't know.
She lays her head in my shoulder. Mark: It's okay Maria.
She puts her arms around my neck and I hold her hands lightly.
Mark: Babe. I'm not trying to pressure you into anything. I just don't like seeing you like this.
Maria: I know. *sighs* I love you guys okay? Just remember that tomorrow.
Mark: Maria. No.
Chloe: Maria!
Maria: I'm sorry! See you guys think I'm stupid!
Mark: no we don't! Maria. You can't do this. I. Need. Can't. I just can't loose you Maria!
I let go of her hands and put my hands over my face. I hold her hands again and this time a lot tighter. A tear starts rolling down my face. Then anther. Then another. Soon I'm just full on crying. It got silent for the rest of the walk. We got back to my house and it was 9:15pm.
Mark: When do you guys have to go home? 10?
Chloe: or 12. Like anytime. We just have to text my mom.
Mark: Okay cool.
Maria was silent for a long time. Anytime I would ask her a question she would just shrug her shoulders.
Mark: Maria?
Maria: Hm
Mark: Do you love me?
Maria: yeah.
Mark: Do you need me.
Maria: Yeah.
Mark: do I really smell good?
Maria: Yeah.
I start to laugh. I give her a hug and she lightly hugs me back. I'm worried about her. I start to text Chloe.
M: We need to cheer her up!
C: I know how.
M: how?
C: She likes bon fires?
M: Omg yes!
I call my mom.
Mom: Hello?
Mark: hey mom can me and Chloe and my girlfriend Maria have a bon fire?
Mom: You got a girlfriend!!
Mark: Yeah.
Mom: in proud of you! Yes you can! They can spend the night too!
Mark: Thanks mom!
Mom: you're welcome hun. Bye I love you!
Mark: bye I love you too.
I hang up.
Chloe: We can?
Mark: Yeah. Leggo.
I go over to Maria and pick her up bridal style. She wakes up.
Maria: Where am I?
Mark: You're at my house babe.
Maria: Aww it didn't work!
Mark: what?
Maria: I tried something but it didn't work.
Chloe: What did you try?
Maria: Eating a peanut.
Chloe: OH MY GOD MARIA!!
Mark: What what's wrong!
Chloe: She allergic to peanuts!
Mark: oh my gosh!!
I carry her to the kitchen and shake her.
Maria: What.
Mark: do you need your epi-pen?
Maria: probably. I mean no.
Mark: Maria!
I hug her in the chair and start to cry.
Maria: What? What's wrong?
Mark: you want to kill yourself!
Maria: kinda yeah.
Mark: MARIA!!
I hug her even tighter.
Maria: Im sorry Mark.  I shouldn't be saying this kind of stuff. Especially to the people that love me.
Mark: It's okay babe. Are you feeling okay? Tell me the truth.
Maria: yeah in feeling a lot better. Can we just go outside now?
Mark: Yeah let's go. I'll carry you again.
Maria: Mark I can walk if you want me to.
Mark: Are you sure?
Maria: Yeah
Mark: Okay then let's go!
Maria: okay.
I start walking away to the door to get my sliders on.

Maria's pov...

When Mark starts walking away that's when I get up and run towards him. He gets his Nike sliders on and I get my converse on.
Maria: Mark?
Mark: Yeah?
Maria: here.
I run back to the living room and get his sweatshirt.
Maria: You'll need this.
Mark: no I won't
Maria: yes you will trust me it's like 50° outside right now babe. You'll be cold.
Mark: no you'll need it then.
Maria: I'd rather me be cold than you.
Mark: well I wouldn't so keep it.
Maria: fine then non of us gets it.
I run to the couch and put it there. He just rolls his eyes and smiles.
Maria: Alright let's go now.
We walk out of the house and see that Chloe's making a fire.
Chloe: I got it to light!
Maria: Yay!
I have the best people in my life.
