Finding the Perfect Love

Chapter 4

***** I know I know you guys must hate me... I'm sorry. Every time I got the urge to update I was never home! I've been to Tennessee and back... I missed you all, now let's get on with the book... :) ******

"Mary, where are you!" I am mentally freaking out... Why Mary, of all people...

"Dude follow me," Jasper said running up just behind me.

"Just hurry," I barely made out before hitting my dead sprint again.

Running up on the scene, I see we were in the ballroom, I didn't even register where we were running until now. But it looks like Mary was unconscious, and there was blood on the steps. I glanced up at the window and there was a perfect circle like a bullet went through the glass.

I groaned and ran my hands through my hair, "Mary, say something." I said running up to her.

"Marker..?" her faint voice said.

She was losing blood and fast, but where from? Ugh why the seven year old! Couldn't the bastard shoot me instead! Her clothes are soaked.

"Marker, my thigh... It hurts! Bubby!!!!" Mary cried out.

That right there was enough to break my heart. I found the wound, it wasn't deep. I took my shirt off and told her to bite it. She listened, and then I grabbed the end of the bullet in her leg that was sticking out and pulled it out as fast as I could to make sure I didn't listen to Mary's screams so much. I grabbed Jasper's bag and was glad he had every medical supply I needed. Thank god for schooling. I poured rubbing alcohol in the wound and I sewed it together. I covered the wound in gauze and wrapped it in waterproof tape, then I hand her a pill to numb the pain for a few hours. I looked at her face and saw the comfort already coming back.

"Mary are you okay?" I asked taking my shirt back from her. I poured some rubbing alcohol on it and tried to clean her leg a little bit while it was numb. I picked her up and saw her moving the leg. Good it didn't paralyze her from use of her leg.

"I'm okay now, thanks to you Marker," Mary whispered and hugged me. "I love you."

"I love you too Marebare," I said giving her a tight hug.

"What now..?" Jasper asked.

"I'm going to give my Marebare a bath, clean her up, because mother doesn't need to see what happened to Mary, clean up the floor." I demanded.

"Marker, you don't have to, I can bathe myself, it doesn't hurt now." Mary pleaded.

"Mary, this isn't up for options, I'm going to. It's okay, you can trust me. I remember when the only time you would take a bath was if I was in the bathroom with you. It's okay," I said kissing her head, holding her tight.

"Okay..." Mary whispered falling asleep in my arms.

"Mary, don't sleep. Not yet dear."

"Why, Marker? I'm sleepy..."

Mary... What am I to do with you...

Thomas was singing and dancing in the passenger seat of my rented car. I swear I have the best friend, I still can't believe Alex.

"Hey! don't touch my radio!" I said smacking playfully at Thomas' hand.

He changed it anyway. His phone is so perfect! It has all my music, I can't get mad at him for playing anything I don't like. It's like I made the playlist but on his phone...

He changed it to LOVE HER by SEETHER.

"I fucking love you!" I said bouncing up and down, driving.

"Oh, I know." Thomas smirked.

I sang the song until it finished, perfect timing because at the same time I pulled up to the address Alex gave me.

"Holy. Shit." Thomas said.

"Agreed." I said parking.

We got out and I shut the garage door as we walked in the house. Holy hell it was my dream house. Perfect shading on the walls. An amazing grey color. I walked in what would be my room and started blushing. The walls were a deep shade of red and the room was huge. It had its own bathroom, there was a wall but it was only waist high, so anyone who was in my room could watch me shower. Odd. It had the him and her set, two sinks, two mirrors. There was even jacuzzis in this damn place! Back in my room, my dresser took up about a whole wall. Then the closet, oh the closet! A walk in closet that had a shoe rack built in the wall. A girls dream closet. I walked out satisfied with my room and the kitchen. Next, living room, oh my the living room... It had the biggest most soft, comfortable couch. And the TV was huge! I started to tear up at how well Alex actually knew me.

"God damn, she doesn't fuck around! There's a game room!" Thomas yelled from the next room.

No fucking way. I walked into the room that Thomas was in and saw two bean bag chairs and one giant one, this tv was even bigger than the one in the living room, there were really two as I found out examining the rest of the room. There was a pool table in the back, an Xbox one and PS4 connected and set up. With live cards sitting on the counter. I wonder what else, I walked in another room to see a wall of books, and a piano in the middle of the room. I dropped to my knees in awe. Holy fuck. I went back into the kitchen to see a note on the fridge.

'You are to share this house with another person, no not the same room, there is another whole area for the other person, I don't know his name, I think it's Aden, I'm not sure, but I wish you good luck.'

I pulled out my phone and started charging it, and I texted Alex thank you.

"Thomas, what do you want to eat, let's test my cooking skills from last time you ate my food."
