Jackson's POV:
Right now, I'm sitting in our room working on a mini project for my business class while Mark is in the living room on his laptop.

We've been in college for about a month now, and it's been different and hard.

I honestly kind of hate my business class, I'm not having fun with it at all. I don't want to tell Mark that though, I'm scared to. So I've just been sticking with it, and acting like it's going great.

Mark is still avoiding me and hardly talks to me. He can't even stand being in the same room with me for more than an hour.

I really miss his kisses and cuddling with him. I just miss having a normal conversation with him in general.

I decided to lean back from the computer and take a break from working on my project. I stretched my arms and got up out of the chair.

I went to the living room to see Mark there on the couch. "Hey babe, I'm going for a quick walk to take a small break from my homework," I let Mark know. He only looked at me and nodded his head.

I just continued on and put my shoes on. Then I opened the door and left. I decided to walk to the park that wasn't that far from our apartment.

As I got closer to the park, I noticed a little crowd forming. I grew curious, so I decided to continue towards the crowd to see what was going on.

As I got towards the crowd, I managed to push my way through all the people to get to the center of the circle.

When I finally did, I saw a man dancing to music that he had playing. My whole body froze and I couldn't take my eyes off of him.

He was amazing, and he was doing hip-hop. That's the style of dance I do. Now that I think about it, I haven't actually danced in a while. Watching him made me miss dance.

I couldn't take it anymore, I had to leave before I get pulled back into wanting to do dance. I can't do dance, I need to have a backup plan for when Mark starts trying to be a rapper. I need to major in business for Mark and for my parents.

I finally got out of the crowd and started my way back to our apartment.

When I finally got there, I walked back in and saw Mark still on the couch. I just looked at him and sighed. I took off my shoes and went back into our room to continue on my project.

A couple of hours go by and I notice Mark walking into our room. "I'm going to the store," he said neutrally. "Okay, be safe," I said with a small smile. He just nodded his head and walked away.

I heard the front door close and then the car pull out. I turned back to the computer and stared at what I've got done so far.

I decided to play some music, while I continued my work. I scrolled through the songs and clicked on one.

After a few songs played, one in specific came on that I learned a choreography to.

As it was getting closer to the part the choreography started at, I couldn't help it. I got up and waited for the queue to start dancing. This was one of my favorites dances I've learned.

The part finally came and I just let myself go. I got so lost in the music and doing the choreography to it, that I didn't see Mark standing there in the doorway of our room.

When the song finally ended, I went into the ending pose and stayed there trying to catch my breath.

I turned my head to the side and saw Mark standing there with a huge smile on his face. Man, I've missed that smile.

I snapped out of it and realized that Mark just caught me dancing. I didn't know what to say or do, we both went silent for awhile.

Out of no where I felt tears starting to stream down my face. "Mark..." I choked out. He came running towards me and engulfed me in his arms.

I stayed in his arms and cried out. "Mark, I'm so sorry. I was being stupid. You're right," I said to him.

"Jackson, it's okay. I shouldn't have been so distant from you. I'm sorry for being such an ass. I was just so angry with you and didn't know how to deal with it," he said.

"No. It's okay, I would have done the same thing with you," I said. We just hugged each other for while. I've missed his hugs and his scent.

"I'm gonna go back into dance. I've thought about it and I think I'm going to still major in business, but I'm also going to get a double major in dance and open my own dance studio," I said to Mark.

"I think that sounds perfect and I'm going to be there with you until the very end. I want to see you finally live your dream," Mark said to me.

"Thanks. Thanks for believing in me, even when I didn't believe in myself," I said.

"Of course Jackson, I hated seeing you doing something you weren't passion about," he said. I just squeezed him tighter.

"I love you Mark," I said while finally looking at him.

"I love you too Jackson," he said with a cute smile. I just smiled back at him and leaned in.

Our lips finally met and we finally shared a kiss after not kissing each other for a couple of months. We pulled apart and I laid my forehead on his.

"I've missed your kisses and hugs so much," I said. He just cutely giggled. I kissed him once more on the lips.

AN- well this chapter kind of sucks. Sorry for taking forever and making a kind of crappy chapter. Well, thanks for reading my lovelies!
