The Rule - Marcus (COMPLETE)

Chapter Five

-Mia

So many thoughts are running through my head at once, I feel dizzy. I can feel my hands trembling at my sides as I stand next to Marcus, while Jasper glares at us.

He's going to kill me. Literally.

Inside I just want to scream and run away. I try taking deep breaths but I can't concentrate on anything other than the fear that runs through my veins.

'Mia?'

I snap out of my trance and my eyes turn to Marcus, I realise that I haven't heard a word of what he and Jasper have been talking about.

'Sorry I wasn't listening.' I say quietly.

I can feel Jasper's hot gaze on me, it makes me shiver slightly.

'I said, could you go upstairs while I talk to my brother.' Marcus' eyes are pleading and I nod.

I trudge back upstairs, my mind and body are still in shock from what happened.

If Jasper hadn't have come in, Marcus and I would've... kissed?

I shake my head, we're just friends. It's nothing more than friendship, we were just 'in the moment' I guess, I hope?

I walk into Marcus' room and sit on his bed, I shudder slightly at the thought of the conversation happening downstairs at this very second.

I hope Jasper isn't too harsh on Marcus.

Right now all I want to do is scream. If it wasn't for me then Marcus wouldn't be in trouble. The only reason he keeps breaking this 'rule' is because of me.

My eyes scan around Marcus' room for something to take my mind off things. His room is fairly big, I can tell he likes the colour black from the walls and his bed.

In the corner of the room there is a huge flatscreen tv, in front of a sofa with some video games scattered on the floor. You really learn a lot about a person from their room.

I sigh and look at my hands, what have I gotten myself into? I could really do without all the drama in my life.

Suddenly the door swings open and a rather angry Marcus walks in,

'Cmon we're leaving.' He grabs my hand and pulls me downstairs.

'What? Marcus what are you talking about??' The confusion and the panic is setting in, why is he acting so weirdly? What happened between him and Jasper.

He briskly walks down the stairs with me following, 'I can't explain right now, but I will later. I promise.'

I sigh. I have to trust him, he seems upset which is unlike Marcus as he is usually a very laid back person.

As I follow Marcus through the kitchen to the front door I notice Jasper sitting at the table. For a second I thought I saw a trace of hurt in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by anger.

I look away and step out the door, shutting it behind me. My eyes drift up to Marcus who is staring at me with an unreadable expression on his face.

'Where now?' I ask, he simply sighs and shrugs in response before saying,

'Is it okay if I stay at yours?'

-

I'm sitting on my bed, watching Marcus pace around my room, he runs his hands through his perfectly soft hair.

'What happened?' I ask, standing up.

He doesn't answer straight away, instead he carries on pacing, me being the impatient person I am, grips his shoulders to stop him.

He sighs, 'we just argued, that was it.' He admits.

'Then why are you here?' I ask him. Marcus looks down,

'I can't live with him any longer, it's just torture. I need somewhere to stay for a while.' He drags his gaze to me again.

'You can stay here if you like? It's just me on my own so I guess the company would be nice'

He does something that I would never have expected him to do, he wraps his arms around me and pulls me into a warm hug,

'Thank you, so much' I can feel his smile against my neck.

I don't know why but all of a sudden I just felt so happy, I slowly hug him back.

'It's okay, don't worry about it' when he pulls away his eyes look slightly more like the bright blue I remember, I smile at him.

'You know at some point you'll have to go back...'

Marcus' smile fades, 'no, I don't. I just need to get out of this country'

'Out of the country? What?' I think my mouth may have hit the floor.

He takes my hand, 'come with me.'

'What? You can't be serious!'

Marcus nods, 'yeah just out of the country, like Paris or somewhere?'

'Paris?! But what about school?' I pull my hand out of Marcus', 'I can't just drop my whole life and leave with you.'

'Why? It'll be fun, just you and me. Like the old times!' His eyes are pleading and I can't help feeling a stab of guilt in my stomach.

'I don't know...' I look at Marcus, I can only imagine what he is going through.

'Please... Mia, please.' He begs me, I swallow lightly and bite my lip, 'come with me.'
