Waking Up in the Real World

Chapter 25 (version Jean)

"Marco! Oh my God I am so so sorry!"

"I-it's okay. I just... Need some fresh air."

Marco ran away.

"Jean, I can't do this to him. Or to you. As much as I do love you, he loves you so much more."

I ran after him.

~Marco's POV~

The house was a maze. If I could even call it that. I could barely see through my tears as a worried Eren asked what was wrong.

I ignored him and ran out into the dark, sitting down on the front porch.

[F/n] followed me out seconds after.

"Marco, are you okay?"

I refused to speak.

I have been in love with Jean this whole time. [F/n] tells me Jean likes me back and I believed her. Then Jean dies and ends up in this world I know nothing about. Then I follow him and walk in on my two best friends kissing.

Why would [F/n] betray me like this?

"Please talk to me, Marco."

"No," I pouted.

"You just did."

"Shut up." I buried my head in my knees.

"Marco, I need to apologize. Please listen."

"No."

"Fine. Then I'll just talk, you don't have to listen. Marco, you know Jean loves you. But he might like me too. I never wanted to hurt you like that-"

"So you were just going to do it behind my back." It wasn't a question.

"No, I... It was one kiss!"

"I really want to believe you, but I can't. You've hurt me too much."

He got up and walked back in the house.

Guilt trip, anyone?
