Just Friends (Mordecai x Reader)

Chapter 7 - A Fired Mess...

"Come on! You act the same way Margaret does!"

"Wait, are you saying that... Margaret has feelings for Mordecai?"

"Well...I wasn't suppose to say anything...I told her I wouldn't,"

Those words kept running through my head.

"Margaret."

"Mordecai."

"Feelings."

"For each other."

I didn't even hang out with him that much and my heart wants to explode from just seeing him.

Is this what they call..."love"? Do I really think I'm in love with him? Just as he's in love with Margaret and Margaret is in love with him?

It seems so...weird to be in love with someone. I mean, because of my family, I'm considered to be a goddess. So, everyone wants a piece but I don't want a piece of them.

I heard loud knocks on the door and I open my eyes. I looked around and realized I was still in the bathroom at work.

"Hey! (Y/N)?! It's Mordecai! Respond!" Yeah, I heard his voice loud and clear.

My eyes widened and I hurried to my feet and opened the door. There he was. Standing in front of me. He grabbed my hands.

"Good! We're glad your okay! You've been in that bathroom for hours!" Mordecai said in a concerned tone.

My cheeks felt a little red and I pulled my hands away from his and behind my back. Eileen, Margaret, and Rigby came running up to me.

"I tried calling you but you never answered the door, or your phone, or the bangs and yells coming from the boss! I was worried, so I called them!"

"I'm fine. Really." I pushed passed them and try followed after. Mordecai grabbed my hand to stop me and I looked back at him, "what?"

He started to talk but I took a glance at Margaret and she had her head turned the other way. I yanked my hand from his and kept my gaze away from them.

"Look, thanks for being worried but I'm fin-"

I was cut off by the slam of a door by my boss. He stomped up to me and pointed his finger in my face.

"How in the world could you stay in that bathroom for hours?! Rush hour came and I had to go out there and help Eileen because you were to busy crying!!" I could feel the spit from his mouth every time he pronounced a 'c', 't', 'f', and 's'.

Should I really be taking this?

Honestly...

I don't think I should be...

So, I'm going to do something about it.

I put my finger over his lips to shut him up.

"Stop yelling at me. I am not your mule or your stress ball. I don't need to take this from you," I said calmly as I could.

He glared at me. I heard him grind his teeth. I saw his fist bawl up. Right then and there, I knew I didn't make the right choice. He pushed my finger away from his mouth.

"Uh oh..." Eileen said softly as she cowardly hid behind Rigby.

"I don't want you back here ever again! Get out!" I stood there, a little surprised, but I frowned.

"You are going to regret this..." I clenched my teeth shut. As I kicked him in the shin. He yelped and held onto it.

I ran out of the building to my car with my friends following after me. I felt tears in my eyes. I could hear them calling my name, but I didn't care. I grabbed my car keys from my pocket and opened my car door. I got inside and slammed the door shut, not forgetting to lock it.

They pounded on the doors but I started it up and drove away from them.

After, I got back to my apartment, I unlocked the door and went inside. I closed it behind me and rested my back onto it. I sighed loudly and slid to the floor. I held my knees and put my face in between them.

I couldn't help but cry to myself.

I felt...

Miserable...

"Why did you make me feel like this, Mordecai...?" I asked to, obviously, nobody but myself.

I cried quietly. I wanted to be the only one to hear my pitiful weeps.

"Why...?" I asked again to myself.

I looked up slightly to see the shirt that Mordecai let me wear, sitting on the couch. I sniffled and wiped my tears. I got up and shuffled over to the couch. Picking up, I felt something in my heart. I stuffed my face into the shirt.

"Please, stop hurting me, heart..." I started to cry once more into his shirt.

God, this is like a romance gone wrong...
