Amina's POV


Today was the day. Today I'm going to call Marcus to talk to him. I know I f**ked up big time, but I mean--

I don't even know yet what he might have done.

And that's not the worst thing.

The worst thing is that:

I can't believe that he could be capable of something like that.

I don't.

But what if it's true?

I quickly dialed Marcus' phone number before I drowned in thoughts.

M: Hey Amina. Marcus sounded a little scared, as if he's afraid of what I might say.

What's happened to us?

A: Hey Marcus, I-- I really think we should talk. We have to. I mean, are you done with me? Cause I'm not and we've avoided each other for way too long. I'm sorry for screaming at you. I really am. What do you say? Should we meet up?

M: Yes, we should. And I'm sorry too, princess. I promise everything will make sense once I explain. It really will. It all looked worse than it really is.

A: I really hope so Marcus. Should we meet at the coffee shop on campus?

M: Yeah, sure. See ya.

I hung up.

I really hope this goes well. I can't imagine us being as distant anymore, but I don't see him as a different person. I can't. It's impossible.

I got to the coffee shop. And my memory of when I first actually talked to Marcus came back into my mind. It's crazy. It seems to have happened a real long time ago. It really does.

I heard footsteps approach behind me, and I already knew it was Marcus. I saw him and fell into his arms. He hugged me back and nothing was said.

In that moment I realized that neither of us wanted to lose each other. Ever. We've been through a lot and just knowing how much I told him about me, that I trusted him with everything, and that he was the first person I opened up to. I wouldn't change a thing about anything that's happened. Is this the way I should feel? Is it wrong? Or right?

A few seconds passed and we just enjoyed this. Each other. I got out of our hug and looked at Marcus. When I looked at him I felt that there was a clear distance between us and I didn't like it. At all. I couldn't stand it, I hated it.

"Marcus. I-- I'm sorry for ignoring you these last few weeks. I just, I couldn't deal with what happened. I didn't know what was going on and I still don't. I had so many thoughts, worries, and imaginations going through my head. And I can't keep on doing it, so please-- Please be honest and tell me truth. Tell me what was up with that guy." I inhaled out of breath.

"Of course Ami. I will. Do you want to sit down?" He asked. Marcus seemed really calm and it was a miracle to be honest. But it helped me, it made me somehow believe everything was alright. Like everything will be alright. As if nothing bad was up.

"So. When Lucas and I were in high school, we had friends, Jake and Will, who were friends with some bad people. These people only wanted trouble and that guy that came up to me was one of them. Our friends didn't realize that and started hanging out with them a lot. But you have to know, what they did was really bad, and-- illegal. They were dealing and Jake and Will wanted us to meet up with all of the others. Then we did, but we didn't feel comfortable and realized soon enough what was going on. We wanted to help our friends, but they didn't care. That's how we lost them, and if I'm right they still hang out with those guys." Marcus spilled the beans. And I--

I was shook. It really wasn't what I had expected, it was a lot to take in. But I still had one question. "And what happened then? I mean did they follow you guys or something?"

"Well, they kind of did. It's not like we ever were a part of their business, but they don't like it when people know about it. About what they do. So they check up on us and try to keep us in the loop or try to get us to work with them. But of course we never will. That's also why we left Maryland, to get far away and also why we left our last college. They kept following us, but this time it's over. At least that's what he said, and they aren't people to mess eight. But we aren't either." He was still the same person, but I somehow saw him in a different way. I realized that Marcus is also really tough not just sweet.

"Marcus I'm so sorry I fell like-- I feel like I was so mean to you. I'm so sorry." I felt tears filling my eyes. How could I've done that to him? I must have really hurt him, it wasn't his fault. Not at all.

"Amina look at me, this is none of your fault! It's something that happened in the past and that is still somehow going on in our present life. But you have to know, we never wanted to be a part of them. Their business. I'm still the same person, and everything is over. I'm done with them. We're done. Please don't cry." Marcus took my hands. "I love you and I don't ever want to lose you! I'm so sorry." Marcus looked into my eyes. And there he was. Marcus, my Marcus.

I stood up, sat onto his lap and kissed him without hesitation. He kissed me back and it was over.

Our fight was over.

Without Marcus-- I'm not even going to go there.

We're here, in the present.

What the future holds is not important.

Because we're together.

And we love each other.
