The Long Journey Of Being Unwanted {Editing}

Chapter 22

Summer's POV

Jaxson fell asleep early. I grab my phone off the charger and walk into the bathroom. I change into my bathing suit and put on a hoodie of it. I grab my key card and walk down to the pool. It was open all night so if I wanted to, I could stay there. My phone buzzes in my hand. I look at it. A FaceTime call from Mark. I answer it. "Bree?" I hear someone sob. "Mark?" I ask looking at his ceiling which his camera was currently facing. I debate on whether or not to tell him about the name change thin but decide against it. I hear a sob escape his lips. "What's wrong?" I ask, putting my key card in the slot and unlocking the door to the pool. The smell of chlorine hits me as I make my way to a chair, putting my stuff on it. "Sierra broke up with me." He sobs. My heart aches as  I listen to him cry over her. He doesn't deserve this. Any of it. "Oh Mark." I whisper looking at his camera. He moves it so it's facing him and I could see his tear-stained face. "I know this is stupid, but I miss you." He sighs looking down. "It's not stupid. I miss you too." I sigh. "No. I mean, I miss calling you mine. I miss holding your hand. I miss watching you dance. I miss you. I miss us." He says as another tear slips out of his eye. "I miss us too." I say truthfully. "Are you in the hotel pool?" He asks. I nod and look around. "I know this seems weird. But my mom thought it'd be a good idea to take me on a vacation." He says. The next thing I know the call ends. He just hung up on me. I sigh and put my phone on the table and pull the hoodie over my head. I sit in on the edge and stare at the water, dipping my feet in and kicking them back and forth. "So as I was saying..." Someone says unlocking the door to the pool. I look up and almost choke on air. "Mark?" I ask looking at the boy standing in front of me. "Surprise." He smiles hugging me tightly. I hug him tighter, not wanting to let go. "God this is the best surprise ever." I smile letting go of him. "Were you joking about the break up thing?" I ask. He shakes his head no. "I'm sorry." I whisper looking at him. "I wasn't joking about missing you either." He says looking at me. "I know." I whisper. "But I'm with Jaxson.." I sigh. "I have something to tell you." I say sitting back down on the edge of the pool. He sits with me, since he was in his swim trunks for some odd reason. I explain the whole Summer thing and he smiles at me. "So do you prefer Bree or Summer?" He asks. "Summer." I sigh. He nods and then drops into the water. He grabs my hand and pulls me in, making me squeal. "Mark." I laugh. "Summer." He laughs scrunching up his nose.
