"What are we here for?" Mark questioned, pulling into a parking spot outside of Junk N' Stuff.

"I'm here to talk to my boss." I said curtly. I briskly jumped out of the car and walked towards the front door, Mark following behind me.

"I didn't know you work here. Is it fun?"

"Eh. It's alright. You can wait in the front while I go in the back. I'll only be ten minutes."

"Ok."

I ran towards the back to the elevator. I impatiently tapped my foot as I waited for the elevator to get the the main floor. When it finally arrived in stepped on it and pressed to button for the Mancave. When I finally arrived at the Mancave, I looked around for Ray. I spotted him watching YouTube videos on screen.

"Ray!" I shouted.

He turned around, startled.

"Hey, Char. When did you get-"

"Why did you tell him?"I interrupted.

"What are you-"

"Don't try to play coy. Why did you tell Jasper that Henry was my soulmate?" A look of recognition flashed through his eyes, soon it was replaced with guilt.

"Charlotte. I'm sorry. It just slipped out."

I scoffed. "It just slipped out? How? How did the topic even come up?"

"Jasper was talking about how he can't wait to find his soulmate and how both you and Henry had already found your soulmates."

"Great. Now I'm pretty much forced to tell about how I'm a glitch. And how his best friend is going to die in about 2 months." Ray visibly cringed when I mentioned me dying.

"Char..." Ray started, but trailed off. By now the tears I had been willing away were streaming down my cheeks like a river. I shook my head and tried to wipe them away.

"Ray. Why couldn't you just keep this one little secret for me?" I whispered.

"I'm sorry."

That's the thing. I'm sick of hearing sorry. Sorry isn't going to help anything.

"So am I." I said back before turning and walking back to the elevator. Ray continued to stare at me until the doors closed. I wiped away the few tears that we're in my cheeks and took deep breaths. I arrived back at Junk N' Stuff and walked to the front to see Mark looking around at everything.

"Are you impressed?" I asked, scaring him.

"Yeah. Where did all of this stuff come from?" He questioned.

"I'm not sure. I guess it just appeared one day." I joked. Mark chuckled and turned to face. His eyes took in my tear stained face and he gave me a small smile.

"Are you okay?" He asked me.

I gave him a small smile. "I will be."

Henry's POV

I sighed and hung up after reaching Charlotte's voice-mail for the 5th time. It was Friday night and the three of us always studied together.

"Did you reach her yet." Jasper asked from beside me.

"Nah. I just keep getting her voice-mail." I replied.

"Me, too. Her phone must be turned off." Just then my watch started to beep.

"Ray's beeping me. You wanna come with me to the Mancave?"

"I have to go count all of my buckets and organize them. Maybe later." Jasper said. I shrugged and started to make my way to Junk N' Stuff. Halfway their I saw that new kid in my class. His name was...Mark?

"Hey Mark!" I called.

"He turned around and his expression immediately dropped.

"Oh hey Henry." He deadpanned.

"Listen, have you seen Charlotte. I keep calling her and-"

"Leave her alone." He interrupted. What.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"You're already causing her enough pain. Charlotte is my best friend. I don't want to see her hurt because of you." Mark continued.

"I have no idea what you are talking about." I said.

He opened his mouth as of he wanted to say more, but decided against it.

"Listen, just leave Charlotte alone." He muttered before walking away. What was his problem.

THIS SO LATE OMG SORRY MAN But anyway sorry for the mistakes. Who's team are you on? Henry or Mark?
