What happens next? (pt. 2)

Natalie's P.O.V.

   "So she finally finds out." Mark said suspiciously. I had honestly had it up to here. 'How does Manasah know me?' And 'What is Mark talking about?' Were the questions that lingered in my mind.

    "Manasah do you remember me now?" Mark said half wishing half hoping she would say yes. "Yes Mark I missed you so much." Manasah said going in for a hug.

     "Cut it out!" I said mad. I didn't usually get this upset, but this wasn't funny. "I came here to apologize to you not to have some family reunion. What's happening why do you guys know me? HOW do you guys know me?"
 
      "Sorry for confusing you Natalie, but if you thinkabout it you're only confusing yourself. How bout this I'll tell you story to jog your memory how does that sound?" He ask kindly. I simply nodded with a yes.

       "Once apon a time there was a girl named Manasah she was only twelve years old. She had a best friend named Natalie and many other friends like: Teja, Brooklyn, Hailey, Iman, Susie, Hannah, and many more. But, one day Natalie left to Korea leaving Manasah all by herself.

      Sad, Manasah sat in her car ready to go home and cry. However, fate had it's wicked ways of stopping her sob  session. Manasah got into a car crash And lost her memory. Slowly but surely Natalie forgot Manasah as well. The only friend Manasah had was Sai, when she came back from boarding school. In fact Sai was the only one Manasah remembered, as if the guilt she felt for turning her in, haunted her in her memories. To Be Continued." Mark said Narrorating flash backs.

     "I.... That's not.. I can't.. No! No no no!" I said confused and upset I couldn't process all this. "I did not just have a dating scandal with my old best friend! Uuhhg!"

      "Natalie what's wrong?" Manasah asked innocently. "You're what's wrong! Why did it have to be you? Why did it have to be just another old friend?"

Manasah's P.O.V

       "Why did it have to be just another old friend." Natalie said upset. I didn't really understand what she meant or why she was so frustrated, but something about what she said hurt me. "Natalie why are you-?" "No just stop." She cut me off "I just need some time to understand all this. I hope you heal fast. Bye." She said storming out.

     I couldn't really relate to her situation. All the sudden you find your long lost friend unknowingly, have to keep the secret of being a girl from them, have a million scandals, then eventually have to tell the whole world you're a girl.

      "Manasah are you okay?" Mark asks sweetly. "Yeah I'm fine, just worried."

     "Manasah?"

     "Yes?"

     "By any chance do you remember how I felt back then when we were younger?" He asked nervous.

     "What do you mean? What are you talking about?" In all honesty I just remembered us being friends. He used to control Sai in all her crazy and  help me out a bunch when she was complaining.

      "Good. I mean never mind. Once you get out of the hospital promise you'll spend your first day out with me okay?" He said hope filling his words.

       "Of course." I said. Mark has always been so nice to me this was literally the least I could do for him.

Mark's P.O.V

    *ring* *ring* *ring*
It's Manasah she's calling me.

    M: Manasah MK:Mark

M: Hey Mark I just got out of the hospital. I was wondering if you could pick me up for our da... date thing.

MK: Oh yeah date sure. Uhm yeah I can pick you up.

   I hopped in the car driving to the hospital and all the sudden thoughts about Sai popped into my head.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    "Sai what are you doing in the bathroom?" I said annoyed "*yack* Go away I don't want you to see me like this!" She said weak. "Sai are you okay? Let me in I can help!" I said worried for her.

     "*yack* Mark please leave."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Sai had always been so set on me seeing her at her best. Even if that ment she didn't have anyone to comfort her when she needed it most.
*honk* *honk*

     I was snaped out of my thoughts when I heard that honk. Well I'm here. "Manasah over here!" I yelled. She hopped in the car. "Alright my queen to the first stop we go. (#brooklyn's story reference)." I said charmingly 😎😎😎. "Queen what's with that?" Manasah said blushing. "Today you are royalty and I am at your service. I will be your shofer (idk if that's how you spell it), your chef, and your assistant. Anything you need tell me and I shall get it for you."

Manasah's P.O.V

   I could tell Mark's been planning this for a while.The first place we went was an amusement park. Keep in mind I LOVE amusement parks.

  "Here we are your highness." He said opening the door for me. "Mark you know me so well. But wait did you pay for my ticket?" "Uhmm yeeeeessss." He said nervous. "Mark! You know I hate when people buy me stuff. Especially you you've done so much for me already!" I said a little ticked.

   "I know Manasah it's just that I want today to be perfect you know?" He said sweetly. I gave in too easily. "Fine but I buy snacks."

   "Whatever you wish my queen." We went on tons and tons of rides. Luckily the lines here weren't that long and we got to enjoy the park to the fullest extent.

   We were eating cotton candy when I saw a huge roller coaster. "We HAVE to go on that!" I screamed excited. He looked a little scared, but quickly brushed it off and gulped saying shortly after, "Anything for the queen." We scarfed down the cotton candy while waiting in line and soon boarded.

   During the ride Mark clung to me like Koala and screamed the entire time. When we got off I confronted him saying, "Mark! You don't like roller coasters." "Actually I hate roller coasters, but I went on for you."

    After that we went out for dinner. "Wow I can't believe we were actually there for the whole day!" I said content with our day's activities. We went to olive garden and went to a real garden afterwards.

   We were walking in comfortable silence until Mark stoped.

Mark's P.O.V

   This was it this was the moment I told her. So I stoped and said, "Manasah? I have something important to tell you."

   "What is it Mark?"
