Imagine If....

He was your 'Teddy Bear'... {Pt 1}

~This request was given to me by LU_septic_eye and is based off the song Teddy Bear by Melanie Martinez! Hope this does your idea justice! :)~

You sat there in the dull room, surrounded by people that were here for the same purpose. As if the dull beige walls and white linoleum flooring wasn't depressing enough, the grim look on everyone's faces made it ten times worse. All of you were sitting down in various folding chairs in what was suppose to be a circle.

While you sat in the chair, you brought your knees up to your chest. Being in this room with everybody brought back horrible flashbacks of everything that lead you up to this moment; how you're life went from the fairytale everyone dreams of to the nightmares you could only picture in horror movies.

Just as you thought about bolting from this, the guy who sat in the middle of the circle cleared his throat to grab our attentions.

"Let get started, shall we?" The guy offered a kind smile before letting his eyes roam around the group of people gathered in the circle. It only took him a few seconds before his eyes landed on you.

"You're new here, why don't you start out?" You couldn't stop the panic stricken look that appeared on your face. 

The man laughed slightly before speaking again. "Don't worry, this is a safe place." You didn't know if it was due to the trusting look in the man's eyes or the fact that everyone else seemed to have their eyes on you, but you sighed before opening your mouth.

"I'm Y/N, and I'm sure like everyone else in this support group, I fell in love. What was true love, slowly turned into my worst nightmare.."

Flashback, 2 years ago

You were at the bar during happy hour, like your friend told you to. As you glanced at your watch, you saw she was 30 minutes late. 'Just fucking great', you told yourself. She ditched you, and now you're stuck in a room full of drunks while 80's hits played from the jukebox. 'Not on my watch, I'm out of here' you told yourself.

When you off the stool, you turned to start walking towards the exit when you collided with something solid. It caught you off guard so much you found yourself on the ground, staring up at the ceiling.

"Shit, I'm so sorry! Are you ok?"  You heard a man ask you as he extended his hand down towards you.

"I'm fine, it caught me off guard more than anything.." You accepted his offer and latched onto his hand. In one swift move, the man lifted you up off the ground and set you back on your feet.

You stared into the man's brown eyes as he looked down at you with a concerned look.

"Are you sure? I hit you pretty hard.." You gave him a smile to hopefully ease his nerves.

"I'm tougher than I look, trust me." It took a few seconds, but eventually you watched the man relax. It seemed a huge amount of weight was being taken off his shoulders.

"Well, now that that's out of the way," You watched his face as a charming smile slowly slid into place as he stuck a hand out towards you. "I'm Mark."

"Y/N"

~1 year later~

Mark and you began dating shortly after that whole incident at the bar. The more you got to know him, the more you realized how caring and thoughtful he was. Just last week when you told him that you were sick, he came rushing over to your place and insisted on taking care of you. That was of course, until Daniel.
