The Wait Game (Markiplier X Reader)

Chapter Thirteen - Calling First

Your POV:

I don't think he's gonna call. Maybe I should just give up. I let him go, and now, I'm never going to get him back. I should have never even went to Vidcon. I wish I could just go back to being a fangirl. I think I'd be happier that way.

Mark's POV:

Fuck it. I'm just going to call first. I stood up and held my phone in my hand for moment. My heart stopped beating completely. What if I make everything worse? It's worth a try. I cannot live without her in my life any longer. If I do, I might just die. The broken heart in my chest is pleading me. Begging me to just call, just to hear her voice again. Her voice. It makes me smile. It makes me feel alive. I cannot stand being without it and its amazing that I did before.

Your POV:

I laid down on my bed, once again tears filling my eyes. Suddenly, I heard something. My heart stops. Mark's ringtone. I jump up quickly and grabbed my phone. I stare down for a moment before finally answering.

"Mark?"

"Emma..."

I hear him sigh of... relieve?

"Yeah, hey. What's up?"

"Listen, Emma, I know I've said it so much, and way too much but I'm sorry. I'm really fucking sorry. Being with Amy made me realize how much I really like you and..."

He went silent for a moment.

"And I've felt more alone then I ever have being without you."

Is he crying?

"I miss our routine of Skype calls everyday. I miss our late night talks. I miss telling you about my channel and you talking to me about school."

Tears filled my eyes. I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

"I miss your goddamn beautiful ass eyes. They give me life. Emma, I really fucking need you and I'm an idiot for not noticing sooner. I really am. I'm so sorry."

I couldn't take it anymore. I started crying.

"Mark I really fucking miss you."

I could barely breathe. Mark sat there on the other end of the line, just crying with me and honestly, I couldn't be happier for this moment.
