Day 12 (Part 4)

"Mark."

"What? No! You can't make him do that!" I could hear static through the phone.

"You can't make me do that!"

"Clearly you two should know by now that I can, and I will." William smiled down at me. "I'll text you sometime in the next couple of days my princess." It took him only seconds to re-dress and step out of the room with his phone.

Marks POV

"You need to take me to her! Please!" Caleb laughed knowingly, and hauled me up. Bella stayed behind. It was like her eyes were glued to the iPhone.

My best friends hands flew to her chest when I reached the doorway. "Um. Hey Mark."

"I'm guessing you need a hug but I'm too scared to try." Allie smiled softly at me and in that moment I tried my best to forget everything that had happened and just focus.

Focus on the beauty in front of me. Focus on my best friend.

"I would if I had on a shirt. Or you know, maybe, pants? Considering I'm nude at the moment, I should probably not accept your hug."

"Uh, ya."

"Aw Mark you're blushing. Haven't you ever seen boobs before?"

"Just- here." I unbuttoned my shirt.

"Cool abs?" She said hesitantly.

"No, stupid! My shirt! Take it. My God Alls seriously!" Allie glanced sheepishly at me and picked up her bra.

"Can you turn around..?" I did as she said but still heard a sigh.

"Brian, Caleb, you too."

Caleb shook his head repeatedly. "No way am I missing this show princess. What do you take me for? An idiot?"

I snickered. "Clearly. Or you'd do as she says."

"Ok whatever."

Allies POV

___________________

Mark called us a cab. The ache between my legs was raging but I insisted on finding Emma before we left. I didn't know when, or even if, I was going to see her again. She was spotted sitting on the counter, talking to a very handsome teenage boy. "Hey Em. Just wanted to say bye." My friend stared at me for a second before speaking.

"What's going on with your um... oufit?"

"I really don't want to talk about it."

The boy smiled at me. "I'm Charlie. What did you say your name was?"

"I didn't..?" Emma laughed at my response.

"Wow Charles. That was very smooth."

"My name is Allie." He was about to take a step towards me when Mark burst through the front door and ran in our direction.

"Alls, our cab's here." Charlie groaned.

"Does this person happen to be your brother?"

"No he's my... I don't know. I- I gotta go. Bye Emma."

She waved. "Toodle-loo."

Charlie pouted before grabbing a napkin and pen and sloppily writing something down. "Here's my number. Text me sometime okay?"

"Sure, I guess."

When I got home, I decided to check my phone since it was recently brought up. I had almost 200 missed calls from Maybelle. And just as many voicemails. To be honest, I had totally forgotten about her and felt really bad about it. The keyboard slid out of the bottom of my phone and the tapping started.

You: so srry may a lot happ cant tell u now mayb 1 day tho

May♡♥♡: God Alls thought u were dead y cant u tell me

You: Its just 2 hard 2 think about u should b happy ill tell u at all I just want 2 4get

May♡♥♡: whatevs gnite tell mark he sucks :P

You: kk

I tapped Marks shoulder. "Hey Mark."

"Ya?"

"Maybelle says you suck."

"Tell her to fu** a goat."

"No way Mark. Grow up!"

"You don't have time to be texting anyways."

"It's my way of grieving."

"What are..?" I stopped him.

"Grieving my virginity. Because I can never lose it again and I was really hoping that I could have my first time with someone special, like maybe NOT a teenage rapist."

"Do you consider me special?" He asked.

"Well you know, I wasn't exactly planning on you. But I would have chose you over him in a heartbeat."

"You gotta stop doing that Allie." I looked at him questioningly.

"Um what?"

"Saying things that make me want to kiss you." I pushed him back.

"Save it for when you have to."

"I wish our lives weren't like this Alls. I wish nothing bad could happen and we could just lie in your bed and eat that sugary crap that you love all day, every day."

"It can never be that way. And I wouldn't want it to because then we'd both be fat as Shrek."

We screamed in unison. "Shrek is love, Shrek is life."

"Anyways I just want this to end." He smiled. "I want you to be alright again. "

"It doesn't matter what we do, William will always find a way to ruin me."

"Us. Their's an us now isn't there?"

"I guess."

"I promise that for as long as I breathe, there will be an us. That's something I'll make sure of. And it doesn't matter how close we are. Allie I could be your best friend or your lover, I don't care, I just need you."

"Kay..."

Mark glanced unhappily at the ground. "I creeped you out didn't I. So sorry its-its just been a long day. "

"For the both of us. Lets get some sleep." After brushing my teeth and hopping in to pjs, I flopped irritated onto my bed. When the spot next to me was patted he looked at me weirdly.

"Are you okay with me here? I just want to be sure."

I replied queitly. "I just want to at least try to recover." Mark pulled me close into his chest, and like normal, he placed his chin carefully on my shoulder.

"Have a good sleep Alls. You have school tomorrow and I want you to do good. If you see William, ignore him because you're better than that .S.O.B."

"Nightie-night. Don't let the bed bugs bite." I whispered before falling asleep.
