Just Run (Marko: The Lost Boys)

009: Leave and Stay

I was shocked as the words left my mouth. Did I love him? Yes. I loved him with everything dear to me. He was everything near to me. Sure I loved my brothers with the heat of 1000 suns, but my heart ached in ways I'd never experienced with anyone else but Marko.

Edger and Alan stared at me agape as I panted with rage.

Edger looked like he'd been shot as he stared at me. His baby sister was in love with his enemy. A 'vampire' boy with a sadistic mind.

He shook his head with disbelief, " No." He gasped out, backing away from me with such a quiet tone. " You're lying..."

I took a deep breath and closed my eyes, " I do..." I whispered, " I love Marko." I stated louder, more proudly. I loved Marko and that was nothing to be ashamed of.

I kept my head tall, my face holding the familiar Frog Scowl.

" Get out."

Alan's words caught me off guard. My head snapped in his direction. He'd been standing off to the side, biting his nails and from what it seems, his tongue as well.

" What? Alan, you can't be serious-"

" I said get out Davina." He said more clearly. He pushed passed me and opened the door harshly, pointing outside, " I SAID LEAVE!" He screamed.

I lost all confidence and backed away from Alan. His face was so menacing, so angry...
I'd never seen Alan this upset.

He never made me leave. Ever.

" Alan-"

" Don't Davina. You are no longer welcomed here. If you love that bloodsucker, it's only a matter of time before you die. Now. Leave."

His words cut me like knives, knives buried so deep that I wasn't sure If I'd survive. With tears in my eyes, I pushed passed him, wiping each tear away as they ran down my cheeks.

Edger just watched with sad and angry eyes, not stopping Alan as he demanded my exit.

I don't know how long I ran, I just know that by the time I stopped I felt like I was dying. I felt sand beneath my knees as I collapsed, letting out a shrill scream, trying to let out all the emotion trapped within me.
My face was red and hot as I cried, tears burning salty trails down my cheeks in unorganized patterns.

My hands found themselves entangled in my hair as I cried, gripping and pulling wherever they could. How could they?!
God makes the pain stop! I screamed at myself.

" What did I do wrong!?" I shouted out loud, unaware of the figure approaching me.

" V?" A soft shy voice asked.

Laddie...

I turned my head, still crying just to see Laddie standing behind me with a rabbit stuffie in his hands.
I wiped my tears away and tried to smile, " H-hey Lad! Whatcha doin' out here so late at night?" I asked, my voice cracking and breaking like an icy lake in the coming summer.

" Here's out here with us." Another voice said. When I turned to my left I saw the group standing there. Dwayne, David, Paul, Marko, and even Star stood staring at me with the saddest eyes I'd ever seen.
Marko looked like he was in deep pain as he watched me, gripping his chest in light agony.

" What are y'all doing here? I'm fine." I said with a sniffle.

Paul gave me a sad smile and shook his head, sitting down beside me and sighing. " You say that a lot. When are you gonna mean it?" He asked.

I crossed my arms, " I don't know..." I said honestly.

" What happened?" Marko finally asked, stepping out from the back of the group.

I looked at the moon and shrugged, " I told Edger and Alan a truth they couldn't accept."

David furrowed his brows, " And what was that?" He questioned curiously.

"I love Marko," I said.

Everything went quiet. When I looked at Marko I saw a light in his eyes, one brighter than anything ever made.

" Y-you love me?" He asked.

I chucked as rubbed my eyes, " Yeah. Yeah, I do." I admitted. " I love your Cheshire smile, your goofy attitude, your chocolate brown eyes and ramen noodle hair, your jacket, your way of seeing the world, your dimples when I tell you a joke. I love that you love me just like I love you." I said, tearing up as I stood and walked over to him.

" I love everything about you," I said.

Marko looked like he wanted to say something but just gave a goofy grin. " Does this mean I can kiss you?" He asked.

I laughed and licked my lips. " Yeah."

Then like lightning, his arms were around me. Our lips blended into one another, linking him with me. The kiss wasn't deep, but the passion within it was driving me insane. His lips were soft, but not too soft. They tasted like pennies and mint-bubble-gum. Oddly enough the flavor was complete to me.

I felt Marko run his fingers into my hair, making me smile into the kiss.

When we pulled apart for the air we heard cheering. We looked over and saw the group clapping, chanting our names.

" Marko, Davina!"

" Marko, Davina!"

" Marko, Davina!"

" Marko, Davina!"

" Marko, Davina!"

" Marko, Davina!"

I blushed and grabbed Marko's jacket, hiding behind the fabric. He laughed and cuddled me closer, " Don't listen to them. But just so you know, you're definitely never gonna get rid of me." He said sure.

I giggled, " I wouldn't ever dream of it."

Star raised her fist to the sky, " Let's go home!"

THEY KISSED! OMG OMG OMG! I DID IT! THEY KISSED! Yes, I'm very excited about this chap. Again it's a little short but hey, beggars can't be choosers. If y'all like Marko × Davina show so love and give this sorry a heart. It lets me know that y'all like it and want more. If you can please share this story on social media so we can't get 1000 reads! Love y'all and hope y'all are having a good day/night! Byeeee~💜🖤
