EMMAS POV
Me and Mark were sat on the couch, watching Dora the Explorer because Mark's cousin was at his house. She was called Ellie and she was 4. He had another cousin, who was here. He was called James and he was 14. He was sat on the otherside of Mark. Just then, I heard whispering. James was whispering to Mark. Suddenly, Mark yelled, "What the hell?! She's my girlfriend!" I was so confused and he scared the life out of me...again. "What? What's going on?" I asked. "N-nothing..." James lied. "James said-" Mark started to say but James went, "Nothing! I didn't say ANYTHING!" And got up. He grabbed Mark's arm and pulled him into another room.
MARKS POV
James pulled me into another room. I can't believe James said that. "Don't tell Emma I said that." James whispered. "Why? It's not gonna hurt her." I whispered back. "Just don't." James begged. "You called her fit. How can I not tell her?" I asked.
EMMAS POV
I was listening to their whole conversation. James called me what?! He called me...fit. I opened the door and asked, "What did you say about me James?" They both looked at me. "He called you fit." Mark said. "Mark!" James exclaimed. "What? She's my girlfriend. I'm not going to lie to her, James." Mark told him. "Aw. Thanks, babe." I said, hugging him and giving him a kiss. I feel like I've warmed up to him so quickly. Just shows how much I love him. "I don't really care, James. Don't get worked up about it." I told him. "Oh. O-okay..." He said and walked out. "Wanna go for lunch?" Mark asked. "Sure. Where?" I asked, following him out. "Chick-Fil-A, alright for you?" Mark asked. "Yup. C'mon then." I said, grabbing his hand and heading out the door. We could walk to Chick-Fil-A because Mark only lived a couple roads away. As we walked down the street, we saw Loren. "Hey Loren!" I said. "Hey guys. You alright? Where you off to?" She asked. "Chick-Fil-A. Taking Emma for lunch." Mark told her. "Wait. Are you two boyfriend and girlfriend?" Loren asked. "Yeah." We both said, smiling at eachother. "Ooh. You learn something new everyday." Loren giggled, "Anyways, you guys have fun. I'll swing by yours later, Emma. Mark needs to meet your family." Loren said, walking away. "Alright. See you later." I giggled and carried on walking with Mark. "I'm so happy I met you in Starbucks, you know? I would probably be at home, all alone if I hadn't met you." Mark smiled. "I'm happier though. I would literally be at home, laying in bed, on my phone. Cause that's what I did even before I met you. But I'm not anymore. Because of you. I love you, Mark..." I told him.
CHICK-FIL-A
We arrived in chick-fil-a and we walked into the building. We heard a few gasps and some girls ran up to me and Mark. I wasn't surprised because Mark was like famous/well known. And hot. "Oh my god! I love you so much, Mark! Can I get a quick picture?!" A girl freaked out. "Yeah, sure." Mark replied and posed for the picture. "Who is that, Mark?" Another girl asked him. "Uh. She's my...girlfriend. Guys, please be supportive of my decision. It was my choice and I wouldn't be Emma's boyfriend if it wasn't." Mark explained, nice and clearly. "Wait. Aren't you from Instagram and you've got like 200k followers or something like that?" A girl asked me. "Um. There's quite a few people with 200k...show me the account you're talking about." I told her. She got out her phone and showed me the account. It was my account. It says following on it too. "Yep. That's me. And thanks for following me!" I thanked, giving her a hug. Some girls weren't supportive of Mark's decision at all. After 10 minutes talking to Mark's fans, they all left and me and Mark found a table. "I'm hungry now." I giggled. "Same. What do you want?" Mark asked.
30 MINS LATER
We had finished our food and Mark said, "I wanna spoil you." As we walked out of the building, I stated, "If you do, I'll end up using all of your money." He laughed. "Don't worry. At least I've spent something on you, even if it's all I've got. I love you, you know?" Mark said, squeezing my hand as we walked down the street. "I know...but I love you more. You're actually the kindest, most caring person I've ever known." I told him. He smiled and blushed.
MARKS HOME
"Oh. Loren said she was coming round mine, didn't she?" I asked Mark. "Yep. We can go to yours now if you want. Unless you wanna go by yourself." Mark said. "Of course I want you to come, babe!" I exclaimed, laying on him as he as laid down on the couch. I hugged him and he asked, "What time you want to go?" I turned to look at him. "Up to you. Whenever you're ready." I said. "I'm ready. Shall we go?" He asked. "No. Wait, 5 minutes. I wanna hug you." I giggled. "You said whenever you're ready and up to you!" Mark laughed, wrapping his arms around me. "I know but I'm just addicted to hugging people. I need to phone my mom to tell her you're coming around. I don't even think she knows we're going out." I said, grabbing my phone. "She doesn't know. We only got together today and you haven't spoken to her since." Mark replied. I called my mom and Trinity answered it. She was crying...
Me: Trin?! What's the matter?!
Trinity: M-mom and dad...!
Me: What?! What happened to mom and dad?!
Trinity: Car...cra-crash...!
Me: They were in a car crash?! Are they okay?!
"Emma? What's happened?!" Mark exclaimed, noticing me tearing up. I ignored him because I needed to know whether my mom and dad were okay or not.
Trinity: M-mom...she...she died!
I gasped with so much shock and I bursted into tears. My head was buried into Mark's chest. My tears were soaking through his shirt, I was crying so much...my mom...died....
