Someone Better

Chapter 35

Mark's pov

Things haven't been good recently. Actually things haven't been good for a while. Lisa and I have been having a lot of problems. I love her, I love her more than anything but I can see she isn't as happy as she once was. We do have some good times but most of the time we just argue about things, even if there isn't anything to argue about we somehow find a way to. I know I'm hurting her even though she saying I'm not and I can't live with the fact that make someone grow to hate me.

Getting over Alex was one of the hardest things to do until now. Now I need to make a decision whether I should put my own feelings aside or to just keep things the way they are. I hate seeing Lisa like this. I love her more than anything but I feel like she deserves someone so much better than me because out of all honesty I'm not perfect for her. She deserves someone so much better. It will kill me to see her with someone else but I know she deserves someone.

Life is full of making decisions and some of those decisions are hard and some are easy.

"Hey." I breathed out while walking up to Lisa.

"Hey baby!" She looked so happy. I can't do this.

"Um I think we need to talk." I instantly see her eyes fill with panic.

"Talk about what?" She Said taking a step back from me.

"Us. Listen I need so space." Which I really don't need but I just need some time I just feel I'm not good enough for her. I see her eyes basically shader.

"What do you mean space? Am I not good enough for you?" She burst into tears. Why am I so stupid?

"Listen I just feel like we aren't happy anymore." Seeing her cry makes me cry. I am really stupid.

"You want space fine. I'll give you space." She turns and walks away taking my heart with her. I fall to my knees crying. I shouldn't have done it but it is for the best.

Lisa's pov

"Hey." I hear Mark breathe out. He looks really sad.

"Hey baby!" I am really happy I get to see him.

"Um I think we need to talk." I instantly fill with panic. I keep telling myself this is going to be okay but I have a gut feeling it probably won't end well.

"Talk about what?" I say taking a step away from him. I honestly don't know why. I guess I'm trying to distance myself from getting hurt.

"Us. Listen I need so space." My breath stops for a minute. The thing I've worried about most is happening.

"What do you mean space? Am I not good enough for you?" I can't hold back my tears anymore. I hate people seeing me cry but I can't help it.

"Listen I just feel like we aren't happy anymore." Mark starts crying. Why? I thought we were perfectly fine.

"You want space fine. I'll give you space." I know I'm being mean but I do it to shield myself from getting hurt anymore. I turn on my heel and leave. I cry harder.

I have no idea where I'm going but I just need someone. I call Alex because after all these months of not being friends I know she knows me better than anyone.

"Hello?" I hear her voice from the other end.

"Alex I'm sorry I called but I need you." I cry harder.

"Lisa? What happened? Are you okay?" How can she still be so nice to me?

"Mark broke up with me." I sputter out.

"Oh Lisa I'm so sorry." I hear Alex say in a sad tone.

"I didn't know who to call. I'm sorry."

"It's fine no need to be sorry. I'll always be here for you. I know we aren't exactly friends but if you were to call me at 3am I would answer. I would always answer. Just because it's you." Her words make me cry even more.

"Where are you?" I ask.

"I'm in Maryland but I can come to you if you would like." Somehow she still acts the same as she always did. Willing to anything for someone she loves.

"Please I need someone to be with me." I feel bad asking.

"I'll be there in a few hours. I promise." With that she hung up.

Alex's pov

I'm sitting at home. I hear my phone going off. I see a familiar number on my phone and I answer immediately.

"Hello?" I answer.

"Alex I'm sorry I called but I need you." I can tell instantly it's Lisa and she is crying.

"Lisa what happened? Are you okay?" I know something bad happened because she never cries.

"Mark broke up with me." I hear her sputter out.

"Oh Lisa I'm so sorry." I am kind of shocked. I never thought they would break up.

"I didn't know who to call. I'm sorry." I don't really mind that she called. I kind of missed her if I'm being completely honest.

"It's fine no need to be sorry. I'll always be here for you. I know we aren't exactly friends but if you were to call me at 3am I would answer. I would always answer. Just because it's you." I say with all honesty. My words make Lisa cry more.

"Where are you?" I'm guessing she went to our house or something.

"I'm in Maryland but I can come to you if you would like." I know she needs someone to be with. Sometimes I hate I'm so nice but I would do anything to see someone I love smile.

"Please I need someone to be with me." I knew it. Even after all these months I still know her like the back of my hand.

"I'll be there in a few hours. I promise." I hang up.
