Schizophrenic (Ipliers X reader)

ch. 24 idiot

I wake up, facing the wall. I roll over and see Mark, sleeping peacefully. I breathe a soft chuckle and watch him sleep for a moment. Then, he stretches and I quickly close my eyes, still smiling. I open one eye and see him glancing at me, "good morning, princess" Mark whispers, his breath smelling really bad. I chuckle and face my mouth another way, not wanting him to smell my morning breath, "Morning, prince" I answer back, my voice cracking. "Sleep well?" He asks. I nod and sit up, "What time is it?" I ask, looking at the alarm clock on the nightstand. "You need to work today?" Mark asks. I lay back down, "Yeah but only in three hours, I don't work in the mornings anymore." I tell him. Mark smiles, "wonderful" He still whispers. I nod, wanting to say something, but Mark lifts his head and looks at the door, "do you smell that?" He asks quietly. I look at the door and sniff a few times, "bacon" I whisper before making eye contact with Mark. His eyes widen and he jumps out of bed, grabbing a new shirt and pants. He quickly pulls up his pants, "come on!!" He yells like a five year old on christmas morning. I laugh at his goofiness before stepping out of bed and gathering my clothes.

I walk downstairs when I finally have my clothes on, "good morning, Jack!" I say happily, seeing him put eggs and bacon on three different plates, "top o'da mornin' to ya" He says with a bright smile. I sit down across from Mark and Jack and start to eat, "hmm, delicious!" I tell him. Jack smiles, "Glad you like it" he says before starting to eat too. "so, wanna go to the movies today?" I ask them. Mark and Jack look at each other, "well, we were actually going to record some videos together" Mark explains. "oh, okay" I answer, taking another bite. "you can join us if you want" Jack says. I shake my head, "No, you two have fun, I'll enjoy myself and leave off to work in a bit" I explain. They nod, "Another time then...?" Jack asks. I smile and nod, finishing my breakfast, "Of course!" I smile. "are you sure you want to go to work?" Mark asks. I look at him and nod, "I have to explain something to the head of the company" I explain. Mark and Jack nod, "Yes, of course" Mark says, gathering our plates. Jack stands up, "I'll be up stairs, Mark!" He yells excited before sprinting up the stairs. Mark and I chuckle amused, "Watch out, silly!" I say, walking up to the counter. "You can stay home and play video games with Jack and me, (Y/N)" Mark asks again, putting the plates in the dishwasher. I shake my head, "No, thank you, I have to work" I explain again. Mark shuts the dishwasher and leans on the counter next to me, "Be careful, alright? Wilford is probably following you and watching you out there" Mark tells me. I nod, "Of course I will, Mark" I say with a smile. Mark leans in a places a gentle kiss on my lips. I smile in the kiss and pull away after a moment, "Come on, go make some fans laugh" Mark chuckles, "I will" He quickly pecks my lips before walking out of the kitchen, "Come on, get off ya lazy ass, loser! Don't wanna keep your baby waiting!" Jack yells from upstairs. Mark looks at me and chuckles. I shake my head and chuckle too, walking to the front door to get my shoes.

I want to walk to the elevator, but I'm being called to the head's office. I enter his office, "Goodday, miss (Y/N)" He greets me, "Please sit down" He gestures at the chair across from him, on the other side of his desk. "Hey, mister Turner" I sit down at the chair. "You wanted to speak to me..?" I ask. He nods, "I have some bad news for you" He starts, putting his fingertips against each other. I nod, "I know, sir...I was there..." I tell him, my voice shaking. He raises an eyebrow, "Excuse me?" He asks. "My good colleague Chris Williams was murdered yesterday. He was shot, in his back" I explain everything. My boss looks amazed at me, "exactly...." He answers. "I was...at a restaurant with Chris, just as friends having dinner, but em..." I decide to explain everything, "Chris was drunk, and he touched me inappropriately, and then suddenly someone on the street shot him" Mister Turner writes everything down, "Can you describe the person?" He asks. I shake my head, "No, " I lie, "It was dark, I couldn't see the person, but it looked like a male, that's all I know" I explain. He nods, "Thank you, I'll make sure to tell the police about it. I nod once, and stand up, "have a good day, sir" I want to walk out, "oh, (Y/N)" He says, making me stop and turn around to look at him, "Yes, sir?" I ask. "If you wish to stay home, you can. I'll give you a week to stay home if you want...I can understand you must be shocked! Someone got shot right in front of y-" I cut him off, not wanting to hear him say it, "Thank you,sir...I'll work today, but I'll take that week off" I smile fake and walk out, closing the office door behind me. I sigh relieved, and walk to the elevator, and go to my office.

I don't know why, but I feel the need to go to room five twenty eight, so I walk there, just to remember some things that happened here, I guess. I open the door, and walk inside the room.

But then, I gasp surprised.

"Dark!?" I jump slightly, getting nervous as I see him grinning devilish at me, "Hello again, gorgeous" He says, laying on the bed, leaning on his elbow, having one knee up, and the other leg straight. "What are you doing here!?" I ask. Dark chuckles amused, "I was about to ask you the same question, sweetness" He sits up, his eyes not leaving mine. I gulp, "I...I just wanted to look around here a bit, I guess. I don't really know...I just felt the need to go here" I mumble, not really sure of my answer. "And how do you think you got that feeling of needing to go here...?" He asks, standing up. "Because of you...?" My breath shakes. Dark nods slowly, "Clever little girl" He tells me with a wicked grin. "What do you want from me, Dark!?" He shrugs in response, sitting down at the table for two persons, "Just have small talk with you. Nothing wrong with that, right?" He asks. I gulp, "I don't trust you..." Dark makes a 'shoo' gesture with his hand, making the chair slide backwards a little, "sit down" he commands blankly. I gulp and sit down, still considering just walking away and pretend this never happened. "Alright, sweetie, I'll tell you why I'm really here." He says. I look blankly at him, "Why?" "Wilford sent me. He wanted to know you're feeling, after what someone did yesterday" I cross my arms, "I know it was Wilford! I saw the top hat, and the pink mustache, and the small gun!" I say, "I know it was Wilford" I say loudly again. Dark chuckles amused at me, "Or was it...?" He asks. I lower my eyebrows, "What do you mean!?" I ask irritated. "Who else has a pink mustache...?" He asks mysteriously. "Darkstache!" I gasp as I realize. "So how are you? Prince charming wants to know if you're alright" He asks. I sigh softly, "Look, I'm fine! Mark and Jack are taking good care of me, and I want Wilford to leave me alone, and not be possessive, 'cause I'm not his girlfriend" I stand up and walk towards the door, "He knows you wish that was different" Dark says calmly. I turn around and look at Dark, laying his legs crossed on his desk. "What?" I ask softly. "Oh, you heard me, gorgeous! Wilford knows you still want him" He repeats. I gulp, "How does he-I mean why does he think that?" I ask. Dark chuckles amused, "stop trying to lie, (Y/N) and face reality. You want Wilford, period" Dark gets his legs off of the table.

"Why did you break up with my great brother?" He asks, putting his hands in his pockets. I gulp, "Because he was getting possessive...he needed to know everything I did, who I texted, where I went and why and with who, it drove me crazy!" I open my mouth to tell him more, "Let me guess, Mark told you?"He cuts me off. I look away for a moment and nod before looking back at him, "Yeah, but he was right" I cross my arms. "If Mark never told you that lie, you would still be happy with Wilford! just think about it!" Dark says. I sigh frustrated, and turn around, opening the door. "Just know that Mark wants you too. In the end, it's your choice to make, gorgeous" I look at him for a moment. I narrow my eyes, "Tell Wilford not to send any more helpers. If he wants to speak to me, he just has to come over himself...or is he too afraid?" I make a pouty face. Dark raises an eyebrow at me, "You don't know what you're saying, stupid, stubborn little girl" I glare at him before slamming the door shut behind me.
