I woke up to the sound of Janna snoring as loud as she could. I looked at her for a moment before I had flashbacks of what happened last night. I still couldn't believe what happened, it was tearing me apart. I put my clothes on, and I left a note for Janna, saying thanks for everything, and I went back home.Flashback
"Star?" Janna said as she walked inside of her room. She found me laying on her bed, crying. I stayed silent, as I didn't know what to say.
"Star why are you crying? You know Marco didn't cheat on you." Janna sat right next to me, playing with my hair.
"I know he didn't." I said as I kept sobbing.
"Then why did you run away?"
"I.. I couldn't take it.. When I saw her kiss him, it was like if my heart had shattered into a million pieces.." Janna rubbed my back and I laid my head on her shoulder.
"Star it's okay, just take it easy. I'll let Marco know you're okay. Janna left the room and I could hear her talking with Marco on the phone. She came back a few minutes with a look of relief.
"I told him you would be staying here. He seemed to calm down a little, but he's really worried about you Star." I lowered my head as I started feeling guilty. I know exactly what he's feeling. Thinking the situation over, it made me feel like I was a horrible person.
"You wanna watch a movie together?" Janna asked.
"Thanks, but no thanks. I think I'm gonna sleep."
"Oh okay, if you need anything let me know, and Star?"
"Yeah?"
"Don't stress it, everything will be fine." I put up a half-hearted smile.
"Okay, thanks."
"Don't mention it." She said.End of Flashback
I was finally in front of Marco's house. I was so scared to enter the house. I had endless thoughts come into my head. I don't know what to do, it feels like I can barely move. I opened the door and I saw that Marco was sleeping on the couch. I slowly made my way over to him, sitting right next to him. He had a peaceful look on his face and I couldn't help but smile. I ended up kissing his forehead and I finally felt at peace. I don't know why I felt like I couldn't face him, but I wanted to get this over with. I wanted him to know that everything was going to be fine.
I gently shook him and he slowly fluttered his eyes. As soon as he saw me he quickly tackled me into the ground, making me scream as I was almost scared to death.
"Star!" Marco cried.
"Hey." I smiled at him, caressing his cheek. He frowned and he got off of me, helping me get up. We both sat on the couch again, he didn't say a word, and he wouldn't even look at me.
"Marco what's wrong?"
"I'm really sorry about what happened last night. I never meant for that to happen."
"I know you didn't. I saw everything happen with my own eyes. It just really hurt me to see that, but I'm okay now." I smiled at him.
"I don't know. I can't seem to forgive myself. I should've seen it coming." I don't know why he felt guilty if there was nothing to feel guilty about.
"Marco I don't think there's anything you could've done. Stop feeling guilty, you didn't do anything wrong. This is Jackie's fault."
"But-"
"No buts Marco."
"Star-"
"Kiss me."
"What?!"
"Kiss me Marco."He froze and we stared at each other for a few seconds before he finally started leaning in. I leaned in a little until our lips finally touched, I want him to know how much I care about him, how much he means to me, and I want him to know how much I love him. We kept sharing that passionate kiss for what seemed like forever and I loved every second of it. Once we broke the kiss his eyes only wanted to stare into mine. I didn't know what to say, I didn't know what I was feeling, but whatever it was, I didn't want it to end.
"I promise you that I'll always do my best and that I will always be there for you, you are and always will be the best thing that ever happened to me. I thought that I lost you for good last night. It felt like a nightmare, I felt so helpless. You mean everything to me and I don't know what I would do if I ever lost you. I love you Star. I didn't know what it was like to be this happy until I met you." He had such a cheesy smile on his face and I loved it.
"Marco, I don't know why you think that. You're never gonna lose me, I have faith in you and I believe you. I know you would never do anything to hurt me. You don't have to promise that to me because you've always shown that to me. I just want you to know that no matter what happens, my love for you will never change. Coming to Earth and meeting you is definitely the best thing that's ever happen to me. I'm sorry for running off like that, I should've stayed with you. I know it hurt you and it makes me feel like crap. Marco I love you so much and I want you to know that I'm also sorry." You could see the guilt on my face, but Marco just gently kissed my lips and I gave him a puzzled look.
"It's okay, just like how you said, the love I feel for you will never change." It felt so good to hear those words from him and it washed all my worries away.I laid my head on his chest, smiling because of how happy I was.
"One of these days, you wanna throw another party? This time it's gotta be even more lit than yesterday." He chuckled. I started laughing and I shook my head in disbelief.
"Sure, but if I see Jackie she's gonna have a little taste of my wand." I said confidently.
"Damn, okay." Marco couldn't help but laugh.
"You think I'm kidding but I'm being for real."
"Nah, I know you would." He said.
"Good." I hugged him as he played with my hair.
"Can I be honest with you?" I asked.
"Yeah." Marco said.
"I don't get why she would do that."
"I don't know why either, but it's better not to think about it." Marco said.
"You're right." I said.
"Hey, you wanna make breakfast with me? I'm starving." Marco said eagerly.
"Sure, I WANT PANCAKES!" I screamed at the top of my lungs.
"Okay beautiful." He smiled.
