The Message That Started It All

The Trip

(A/N) Enjoy :) <3

Weeks later you and Mark have been talking daily and face timing, its been so much fun, he's funny, sweet, caring, pretty handsome if I do say so myself and just a genuine person I cant wait to meet him... Its Sunday May 31st. You wake up at 8:45 and get out of bed to jump into the shower. Once you get out you go to Youtube on your laptop and upload your weekly Sunday video. Then you blow dry your hair and leave it down, you put your gold thin framed round glasses on and finish packing for tomorrow. You go to your closet and pull out a light pink crop top, white skirt and a light blue hoodie and your low top white converse. you go into the living room and pet moonlight in his usual spot. then into the kitchen to grab a breakfast bar from the cabinet and stuff it into your purse as you grab your things and head out the door. You go down to the lobby saying hi to the desk lady and Monroe. You start walking in the crowd of people listening to your LA playlist you listen to every time you go and grab your coffee you ordered on your phone while walking over to your favorite hair dresser.  "Hi Lidia!" you say walking in and hugging her "Hello darling! Ready for a touch up or something new?" she asks grabbing a towel and the cover. "Im thinking a touch up and layers?" You ask sitting down at the wash station. "Sure thing hun!" She walks over to you and puts the towel behind your neck and the cover over you. "So girly tell me what you've been up to! How are you and your boyfriend?" She asks turning the water on and running her hand over it. "We are good! We had our 8 month anniversary a few weeks ago and he took me to see Hamilton" You say closing your eyes "That's so great! Im very happy for you! How is school?" she asks washing your hair and treating it with a bleach protector "Its well! I am on a break for summer it starts again in August, I start my last year and then I take the bar!!" You say smiling and relaxing as she gives you a scalp massage. "That's so amazing your mother must be so proud! How is she and your family? I haven't talked to her in a while." She says "We are good! Shes good! My brother is engaged to his boyfriend!" You say walking over to the chair so she can fix your hair. "I've been waiting for that! Such good news" She smiles mixing the dye and starting to cut your hair into layers. 

 *Le time skippp im lazy :)*

"Thank you so much Lidia! I love it!" she always puts into two braids just how you like them. You hug her, and walk out. Its cold in the shade so you put your hoodie on and walk down the street back to your apartment. you walk in and everyone compliments your hair you say thank you and go to the 25th floor, your boyfriend lives on the 25th floor you live on the 30th you met him in the community gym in your building. You knock and no one answers so you walk in as you usually do, you see no one but you hear something from the bed room... you say "Hello?" it gets quiet. you walk into his room to find him sleeping with a girl you both have classes with!??! you break down into tears anger, sadness, confusion, disappointment all fill your body "H-H-How could you??? I th-thought you w-were better than th-this!!" You say storming out "Wait-!" He calls out running after you. You run to the elevator frantically pushing the button as many times as you can until it opens as soon as it opens he starts sprinting down the hall to you. The doors close just in time before he can get it. You cry as you think about where you went wrong, or if you should have done more the other night. You get to your floor and run to your apartment making sure to lock the door and deadbolt it. He tries to open the door minutes later. You block out his voice by listening to music and crying in your bed as you feel the pain and ache that is in your heart right now. You fall asleep you wake up hours later to silence, he must've given up. It's 4:30. You get out of bed and look through your peep hole- he's gone. you check your phone 8 text messages 15 missed calls. One of the text message is Mark! you text him because he is the only person you want to talk to.
