(un)happy // Martinus Gunnarsen

9

I take a deep breath and open Martinus' door. He's by his desk drawing something. He does that whenever something's wrong, it calms him.

"Martinus?" I ask and place my hand on his shoulder. He just snatches it away.

"Don't touch me." He mumbles.

"Martinus look, I'm sorry that I didn't tell him you are- were, my boyfriend." I say.

"Oh yea you just kind of forgot while having some fun that other boy." He says and continues to draw.

"Hey I did not have 'some fun' with him. We're just friends." I say and take Martinus' drawing so he would focus on me.

"Give that back!" He says and stands up from his chair.

"No. Martinus, we have to talk this through." I say looking at him.

"What is there to talk about, you broke up with me, it's over." He rolls his eyes.

"I didn't mean it, I just got mad. I'm sorry." I say and place my hand on his chest. He looks at it like it's a piece of shit.

"Leave."

"What?"

"I said, leave." He points at the door.

"No Marti-"

"Leave!"

I slowly turn around and walk to the door. I close it behind me and before I do I can see Martinus punching his fist to the wall.

I go back to my room and throw myself to the bed. Why did I have to mess things up?

I can hear some noises coming from Martinus' room. He's throwing his stuff at the wall. I can feel the hot tears burning in my eyes before they roll down my cheeks.

The noises stop. Thank god. I hope he went back to drawing. But if I know him one bit, he didn't. I can hear him open his door and then bang it close. I think he's going to play some football to get his mind off things.

I don't know how long I've just been staring at the ceiling. I feel like I can't move any muscle. I stopped crying ages ago. Or was it five minutes? I don't actually know.

Marcus hasn't come to check up on what happened. I think he's on Martinus' side on this. I mean they're twins and everything so yea.

My eyes are getting heavier by the second, there's still light outside but I'm really tired. I decide to take a little nap, maybe when I wake up this will all be over and it was just a nightmare.

I wake up because the sun is shining brightly through the window. I look at the time, oh shit it's 9;15. School started fifteen minutes ago. I quickly put in some new clothes and run out of the house.

I knock on the classroom door. Why didn't anyone wake me up? And how did I sleep for over twelve hours?

"You're late ms. Svartan." The teacher says when she opens the door.

"Oh really? I didn't notice." I say sarcastically. Everyone starts laughing, well, almost everyone. I can see Martinus in the corner just rolling his eyes. Marcus is next to him looking at me and then at him and then at me again. I take my seat next to Marcus and turn to him.

"Why didn't you wake me up?" I whisper.

"I thought you could use some sleep and Martinus too, but he didn't agree on staying home for the day." He whispers back.

"Oh, thanks I guess?" I say and turn to the front.

I keep glancing at Martinus every once in a while. He looks really tired. I bite my lip and turn my head away from him again. I wanna fix things up but I think he's really mad at me.

When the class ends everyone leaves except for Martinus who is still putting his books in his bag. I go up to him but he just walks past me hitting me with his shoulder and leaves the room.

"Martinus wait." I grab my bag and run after him. He just keeps going. I finally reach him and grab his hand.

"What do you want?" He hisses.

"I wanna fix things. I'm sorry I broke up with you, I didn't mean it." I try to explain.

"Why didn't you tell Jake we're dating?" He asks.

"I don't know, really. I'm sorry." I look at him in the eyes. For a split second his face seems to get softer but then it's just angry again.

"You should've told him." He mumbles and leaves again.

"Come on Martinus! You cheated on me and this is what you're angry about!" I yell after him. Everyone in the hall gets quiet and turn to me and Martinus.

"Thanks Jenny. Now everyone knows what I did and think that I'm a cheater." Martinus says and continues going to the other direction.

hey I just wanted to let you know that I've started writing the first book from Martinus' pov ;) I'll publish it when I'm finished with this book!
