Autumn Pain (Markiplier FanFiction)

Chapter 4

We played a few games and messed about alot, but it started to get dark and Mark offered me a lift home which I refused at first but accepted after his constant nagging. We listened to different songs in his car. I gave him directions and we finally got to the edgy part of town. "You live here?" He asked in concern as we drove up to my apartment building. "Yep" I sighed "You wanna come in for a minute?" I asked hopping out of the car. "Yeah, sure" He said, locking the car jogging up beside me. We quickly went up the stairs and I pulled out my keys and unlocked the doors. "Wow, your apartment is beautiful" He exclaimed. I blushed "Thanks" I muttered. The walls were cream with framed pictures of nature. The couches were also cream and the floors are wooden. There is a purple fake fur rug under the couch. I have a 42 inch TV. My bedroom is a simple square room painted cream with flower wall paper. There is a single bed with purple pillow and blanket sheets, along with a wardrobe and a dresser. "It's not much but....it's not much" He turned to me and smiled his stunning smile at me. I grabbed his arm and showed him around the rooms.

We went back into the sitting room and sat on the coach. "I should've given you a tour of my house while we were there" I chuckled slightly. "Maybe next time" I stated. We laughed a little but we were interupted by a knock on the door. I froze, knowing who it was. Mark checked his phone and frowned. "It's 11:45, kind of late for a knock" Mark observed. I rose and walked to the door slowly while Mark watched. I turned the doorknob and opened the door, quickly stepping back. "It's past 11:00" His cold voiced filled the air.

I watched as a man around my height stepped into the apartment. His hair was really short, army short, and he was very skinny, but his beady black eyes would put him off as intimidating. Autumn started to step back as he entered. "The curfew is 11:00, you should be back before that.You live here, you obey the rules. Hard to believe, sweatheart, but you are not above the rules" She stepped back, everytime he would come forward. "I-i'm sorry, I l-lost t-track of time.It won't h-happen again. P-Please leave" An idiot could see that he was trying to intimidate her. Her small shaking figure backed into my chest.

"Why were you out" The man interigated. "I was j-just out" She whimpered. "Who's he, you said this apartment was only for one" He hissed. I reached down and grabbed her hand that was glued to her side and gently put her behind me. I crosses my arms and bulged my muscles, putting on a stern face and stepped forward. "Get. Out" I growled. His eyes widen slightly before narrowing again. He looked behind me and shouting "11:00, or else there will be consequences" Before storming out. I walked to the front door and slammed it shut and locked it. Autumn was sitting on the couch quietly with her head in her hands, shaking. I quickly walked to her and gathered her in my arms and sat down, placing her on my lap. She looked at me with fearful eyes and they were rimmed with tears. I gently hushed her. "Mark..." She whimpered "Sh..it's okay, your fine. Who was he?" I whispered into her ear. She sniffed and looked up. "He was the Co-owner of this building" She said, shakily. "Why are you afraid of him, does he hurt you?" I asked angrily. I had a right to be. "No, but he tries to intimidate me all the time and he does it successfully" I growled slightly. This isn't fair on poor Autumn. "I'm pretty sure he watches me and he has an access key to every room in the building. He scares me......talking to me like that and watching my every move" She hid her face in my chest. "Autumn" I began "You can't stay here" She looked up and nodded. "I know, i'm looking for a new place" I got up and placed her on the couch. "Come on, gether your stuff. You can stay at my house tonight" She shook her head "No Mark it's okay. I'm probably just being paranoid, it's okay" I sighed in exhaustion. "Well if you won't come to my place, can I stay here?" I asked. She thought for a minute. "Please" She nodded her head. "But what about your things?" She asked as I plopped onto the couch. "Too tired" I stated yawning. She stood for a minute before scurrying off.

She walked back into the room five minutes later in Pjs smelling of wild berries. She handed me a pair of sweatpants and an oversized. "Sorry the t-shirt might not be your size, I haven't lived with a boy and my brother lives in Ireland, so...." She rambled. I laughed cutting her off "It's fine, I normally sleep shirtless anyways" She blushed and quickly smiled before racing into the bathroom. I laughed shaking my head and putting on the sweatpants and taking off my shirt. She walked back in with a pillow and blanket. She kept her eyes on my face, which is very polite. She handed me everything i'd need. I lay down and threw the blanket over me and closed my eyes, heaving a sigh of exhaustion. "Mark?" A gentle voice asked. I hummed in acknologment. I felt soft, warm lips being placed on my check. They were pulled away "Thank you" She whispered before hurrying off and closing the door to her bedroom. I smiled and felt my check. Wow.
