Amy's POV
I was sat in Mark's living room, he was supposed to watch a movie with me tonight but all he's done is work while I watch this horrifying movie alone. Yay. The movie ended so I stood up and walked towards Mark's recording room. I knocked on the door and heard a low voice grumble. "Come in." It said. I slowly opened the door and stood in the doorway. "Mark, you almost done." I said scared he may get mad. "Almost baby, just a couple more minutes." He said, his eyes never leaving the screen. "You said that nearly 2 hours ago, the movies over." I sighed walking behind him. "I know I just need to finish this." He said obviously annoyed with me. "It's just th-." He cut me off "I'll be done when I'm done okay!" He shouted. I flinched and tripped over the wheel of his chair, causing me to fall on my back. He didn't even notice as he got back to work immediately. "Now do me a favor and keep quiet while I work, please." He said clicking away at his keyboard. I can't believe he did that, the Mark I know would drop everything he was doing to help me if I fell, which happens a lot. He only does this when he's stressed or upset, but he won't let me help him. Tears fill my eyes as I pick myself up and run out of his recording room, I put my shoes on and grab my bag. I walk out of his apartment and drive back to my own. I need a break, not from just Mark, from everything. I go home and pack another bag, throwing in snacks and clothes for the weekend while I'm gone. I leave my computer behind, wanting complete peace. I don't leave note or tell anyone online. The only person I tell is Kathryn, so everyone won't think I'm literally dead. I get in my car and just drive, not going anywhere specific just driving for hours.
Mark's POV
I feel bad about what I said to Amy. I didn't mean to hurt her feelings, I've just been so stressed and overwhelmed with work. I've been so behind I tried to catch up these last few days. A little too much, I might add. I have to apologize and make it up to her, somehow. I get out my phone and try texting her. No answer, I deserve that, I think to myself. I should probably give her some space. I work for hours and hours. Eventually it's 4:00am, I'm exhausted. I decide it's time to sleep and I head to bed. I wake up the next morning at 9:00, I get ready and eat breakfast before getting in my car. I drive to Amy's apartment and walk up to the door. I hesitate before knocking. A few minutes pass before a tired Kathryn answers the door. "Hey Kathryn is Amy here?" I ask her hopeful. "No. You were pretty rude to her Mark." She says softly. I sigh and run a hand through my hair. "I-I know, and I'm so sorry. I was just so stressed with everything a-and so overwhelmed and." I take a deep breath as tears fill my eyes. "I shouldn't have said any of that, or acted like that. Where is Amy?" I ask her. "She said she was gonna just get in her car and keep driving. She said she needed to clear her mind." She responded. "Do you think she'll forgive me?" I say a few tears falling down my face. "She really loves you, you know. I'm sure she'll forgive you." I nod my head a bit. "When will she be back?" I ask. "Tomorrow night. You better do something big to make it up to her." She says. "I will." I say and walk back to my car. I know just what to do.

Amy's POV
I get back from my little vacation and drive up the driveway. I walk up to the door and I'm greeted by Kathryn. "Hey!" I say hugging her. "How was it!" She says letting go. "Great!" I respond. I start walking towards the living room, but Kathryn grabs hold of my shoulders and guides me to the tiny kitchen table. Sitting there is a book. "Look at this first." She says, and with that she disappears into the other room. I flip open to the first page and gasp. The pages are filled with pictures of me and Mark. I flip through pages remembering exactly when every one was taken, some from conventions and others just when we felt like it, or was bored. All of them from over the years. Tears rolled down my face. I reached the back and there was a note.
Dear Amy,
I know you're probably mad at me. And that's okay, I was such a jerk. I don't blame you if you don't want to talk to me. I am so eternally sorry for everything I said, I was stressed and overwhelmed, but that's no excuse for the way I treated you. You don't deserve someone who says that to you, you deserve somebody who will give you endless amounts of respect. Something I know these last few days I didn't do a very good job of showing you. I am the luckiest person in the world for finding you, the most amazing human being ever. Who for some reason decided I was good enough to date her. I completely understand it you don't want to be with me anymore, just know I am so so so sorry for everything. I love you Amy, with all of my heart.
From, The Doofus Who Potentially Lost The Love Of His Life.
I was completely sobbing by now, I heard music competing from the living room, it was I Found Her Among The Aliens. I ran into the living room, there stood Mark. Surrounded by flowers, my favorite candies, candles, framed pictures of us around the room, the lights dim. And he stood in the center of all of it. He was crying as well, probably waiting for me to tell him off or something. I took a few small steps forward before sprinting in Mark's arms. Immediately he gripped onto me, hugging me so very tightly. "You may be a doofus. But you're my doofus Mark." I cried into his shoulder. "Oh baby girl, I love you so much. I'm so sorry." Mark said as his tears fell onto my shoulder. He pulled away from the hug a little bit and passionately kissed me, immediately I kissed him back. We spent the rest of the night re-watching the scary movie from a few days ago, the one Mark didn't have time to watch then. Every time something scared me I'd snuggle into his chest even more and he'd gladly hold me a little bit tighter. I felt Mark plant a small kiss on top of my head as I lay my head on top of his chest. I drifted off to sleep in Mark's warm embrace. I could never stay mad at the sweetest man I've ever met. I love him.
