He's Just Not That Into Me

Planning

I immediately begin to bawl. "I knew something would happen...I knew it wouldn't last."

"It's not that I want to! It's so you can be safe! (Y/n) I love you. I really do! I want to keep you safe and the only way I can do that is if I'm not in your life anymore...I should've never come back into it in the first place. I've only caused you pain..."

"I mean...do we really have to? Cant we just make it public but still actually be dating in secret?" I fiddle with my fingers staring down at them. I know the idea won't work, but I really hate the idea of losing Mark already. I've been waiting for this moment for basically my entire life and I don't want to feel like I've wasted my life on him again.

"That won't be a good idea and you know why. Cause if we stay together but break up publicly, Claire will want me back and I have to go along with it or else I might risk my life. That means giving her anything she wants...like kisses...hugs...more..." My stomach begins to knot at the thought of Mark kissing Claire while we're still secretly together. He's right. That won't work.

"What about if you do give her what she wants? We break up, you get with her again, that doesn't make her any less of a wanted criminal! The cops will be after her. You can't hide her or else you'll be sent to jail too!"

"Maybe I deserve that. For always leading you on and being so rude to you even when I was in love with you..."

"Mark that's ridiculous! Just because you showed your love by pushing me away does not mean you deserve to go to jail, or, or even prison! I get it now...really I do. Some people are just scared to love and get confused when it happens and the natural response is to take the anger and confusion out on them and to push them away. That's why you always did those things to me. Every rude comment, every time you've lashed out...you were just scared of how close we were becoming without being intimate. That's no reason for you to spend your life behind bars with a lunatic. I. Love. You." Tears spill out of his eyes. He leans over to me and I wrap my arms around him.

"Well just call the police, I'm sure they'll know what to do Mark. They'll get an entire team. If...if you truly want me to be safe...we can announce a break up and I'll have cops guarding my place as well. Just know we wont go down without a fight. When things are okay and we go back to normal, we can stay together again and be happy."

"Yeah...that sound like a good idea. Even though she took down 2 armed guards we dont know if they put up a fight or not. Seeing as they didn't see her as a threat it would make sense they didn't want to hurt her."

We contact the police and while we wait for them to arrive and explain our plan, Mark makes an update on social media that we have parted ways and wont be seeing eachother anymore.

A/n
I'd just like to take a quick moment to say, wow, this story has come a long way. On july 17th 2018 I hit my 2 year mark on YouTube (jo is a potato), which I asked on this story if you think I should do and you all were very supportive. 2 years later not many people are still with me, on this story or on YouTube, but I would like to thank the few people that are still with me. Thank you so much for being here. Thank you so much for your continuous support. Even though I dont update as much anymore, I'm glad you are still enjoying the story and my little updates. I have to say though, I think were nearing the end of this story. Anyways, truly, thank you. See you in the next chapter!
