"What about him? Didn't he leave town?" Amanda asked. "He did. But he came back at my mum's funeral. And he made my life a mess again." I said. "He wants us to come back and because of him, Marcus is angry with me at the moment." I said. "Ouchhh. What an asshole! I warned him not to get into your life." Amanda said. "That's why I need you to meet him and let him leave me alone. Forever. I don't want him around me. And he's kind of scared or afraid of you for something I honestly don't know. And don't want to. But please make him leave." I said. "Of course! I got this." She said. "I will text him now and tell him to meet me and then you talk to him." I said getting out my phone. "Perfect!" She said. I texted Jackson and we agreed to meet at a restaurant around here. "Ready?" I asked. "Let's go." Amanda said. We got out of the house and were about to enter the car. I noticed Marcus look through his window and when he saw me he entered his room. "I will be right back." I said to Amanda and she nodded. I knocked the door of Marcus's house and Aurelia opened the door. I greeted her with a smile then went to Marcus's room. I knocked the door. "Marcus?" I said. No response. "I am coming in!" I said. I was opening the door but it was locked. "Fine. I wanted to tell you I am going out with Amanda. I will make her tell Jackson to leave so I can get rid of him. I felt you needed to know this. I know you are hearing me so there you go. Bye!" I said. I expected some kind of response but no. Nothing. So I left. I went back to the car and drove away.
*Marcus's prov*
I was looking at Mia's house through the window. Thinking that she won't be here anymore. She can't move. She can't leave me alone here. It took me so much to find her! I will never find any girl like her. Never. I will do the impossible for her so she won't leave. Mia went out of the door with Amanda behind her. What is she doing with Amanda? What is she up to? Mia might have liked Amanda but she can't be with her this close! Mia saw me and I quickly hid behind the curtain. She's coming to my house. Great! I locked the door so she won't come in. She said she's going to meet Jackson with Amanda. Which is kinda good, cause Amanda was the one who made him leave before. At the same time, I am worried bout Mia. She's not safe around that guy. "Marcus honey, are you okay?" My mum said. "Yes." I replied. "Why didn't you let Mia in?" She asked. "Nothing. Leave me alone please." I said from behind the door and she went downstairs. Honestly, I am not okay. I need help. I need Mia.
*Mia's prov*
We awaited Jackson in my car outside the restaurant until he came and went in. "Ready?" I asked Amanda. "I got this, don't worry." She said and left. I watched as she walked to Jackson's table and he was surprised to see her. He stood up willing to leave but Amanda made him sit back down. From his facial expressions, Jackson nervous because or Amanda. Worried. Not comfortable. He kept playing with his fingers and avoiding eye contact with her. What does she have/know that makes Jackson so scared of her? All the time I knew Jackson he was fearless. At least I thought he was. I don't really care about it, I only want to get rid of him. Amanda and Jackson talked for what seemed like forever, I wonder if Jackson is really leaving after this meeting. They both got up and Amanda was half smiling, Jackson wasn't. He just lost his battle. He didn't notice me and he went straight to his car and drove away. "What happened?" I asked Amanda with excitement. "Done! You won't see him around anymore. He's leaving tonight. But he has one condition." Amanda said which made me worried. "What is it?" I asked. "He wants you to drive him to the airport." Amanda says looking down. "WHAT?" I yelled . "He won't do anything to you. He just wants a last goodbye." She explained. "Ugghhh. I will see about this." I said and started the engine. "But thank you so much Amanda, I really appreciate your help." I said. "Don't mention it. You helped me before." She replied with a warm smile.
*Marcus's prov*
I am still at my room. Locked away from the outside world. I keep thinking about Mia's plan to get rid of Jackson. Did it work? Did Amanda really made him leave? I can't get my head out of it. I went to the bathroom and when I came out, to my surprise Mia was here. Which made me froze in place. "What are you doing here?" I asked. "You didn't open the door for me so I acted like you. I got in through the window." She said looking back at my open window. I was silent. "Okay, so maybe we aren't on good terms right now." Mia said playing with her fingers. She's nervous. "But I want to tell you what's happening. Amanda talked to Jackson and he accepted to leave." She said, which made me relieved. "Good. What do I have to do now?" I asked. "Jackson has one condition..... He wants me to drive him to the airport tonight. " She said looking at me. "Why are you telling me this? Are you asking for my permission? As if you won't go and drive him anyways." I said rolling my eyes. "Marcus stop this! What do you want me to do? I told you hundred times I am sorry for earlier, Now I am trying to act correctly by telling you about it and you are still mad!" She said starting to cry. I hate seeing her like this. I went close to her and hugged her. I pulled her closer to my chest and she was still sobbing. I rubbed her back. I don't want this to happen. I want her here. Close. She then pushed me and went for the door and left. What's wrong with you Marcus? Why are you so tough?
*Mia's prov*
I went out of Marcus's house crying. Marcus didn't even bother to follow me. How many times do I have to tell him I am sorry? He has to get over it and forgive me! I walked to my house and went to my room. Then I texted Jackson.
-Me: What time is your plane?
-Jackson: 9 pm. I will send you the location to pick me up by 7. Is that okay?
-Me: Whatever.
-Jackson: Don't worry, I swear I will behave. Seriously this time.
I didn't reply. Jackson used to be a good friend. He was actually my best friend that in a night turned into a boyfriend. My first boyfriend. He was so loving and caring, that I even thought my life would forever be flowers and butterflies. But he suddenly turned on me. For no reason. He started treating me badly and later I knew he cheated on me with Monica. Right then I knew I don't have much chance with boys and dating. Until I met Marcus. Marcus changed my life. To much a better one. He was there for me in my darkest times when my closest people were away. I have to solve my thing with him. I can't lose him. I slept for a couple of hours until I had to drive Jackson to the airport. I woke up, showered and changed my clothes then went to the location he sent me. He was waiting for me outside a hotel with his bag. He put it in the car and then sat next to me. "Hey." He said and I just nodded. I drove silently which was a good thing, until Jackson spoke up. "Listen I know you hate me and you don't even want to talk to me and-" Jackson started but I cut him off. "Smart boy! Now stay silent." I said. "Please, I wanted you to drive me so I can talk to you. You only have to listen to me." He said. I let out a long sigh then he continued. "I am sorry. For everything actually. Starting from my betrayal with Monica till that kiss at Starbucks. I have been having a mood change and that's the reason why I have been misbehaving lately. But I know everything that I am saying now and I don't want you to be mad at me anymore. I will start going to a doctor and I will solve this thing I have." He said. "Good luck Jackson." I said. "I want you to stay by my side for this. I mean, You have a boyfriend and I clearly cannot get you back so I am asking you to be there as my friend. Please." He said. I can't believe it. Did Jackson just confess that I am having a boyfriend and he won't try to get me back anymore? That's amazing! "Okay Jackson. I will try to text you as much as I can. Keep me updated with your healing process." I said. "Thank you. Thank you." He said and I gave him a smile. When we were at the airport, right after Jackson crossed the gates I saw Marcus by my side. "You came." I smirked. "Did he do anything to you?" Marcus asked. "I am not a little girl. I can work myself out. He left anyway." I said. "Mia, stop it. Did he harm you?" He asked. "I am fine." I said and turned then left. Marcus was looking at me till I got into my car and drove back home.
*At Home*
"Hey dad and Tara." I said when I got home. "Hey! You hungry?" Tara asked. "Starving." I said which made her giggle. "I knew it. Here made some sandwiches!" She said. "My lovely sister! Always knows when I am hungry!" I said taking a sandwich. "Actually, you are hungry 24/7 so it wasn't hard to expect you are hungry by now." She said and I punched her playfully. "Mia, I am leaving tomorrow night." My dad said. "Why so soon?" I asked. "I have to keep up with work,you know. You sure you want to stay?" He asked. "I will be fine don't worry about me." I said. "As you like. Tara is staying here for couple of weeks. She has nothing to do in LA, so thank her she's staying with you." My dad said which made Tara play with her hair in pride. "Get over yourself!" I said and we all laughed. Long day tomorrow. Long play to be done. I am getting Marcus back.
