It had been a year and a half since I'd heard from Mark, I promised myself it was for the best. My ex best friends Bob and Wade continue to hate me for my decisions, but sadder than anything, I began hating myself for the same decisions. I would always sit in my house alone at night and imagine what would've happened if I hadn't overreacted and left Mark. As far as I was concerned I was normal again, I worked a sucky job at GameStop still seeing some old fans asking what happened to my channel..I'd always reply the same way...I outgrew it. In my heart I knew it was a lie but there was a truth within that answer.

It was another Thursday evening which meant I had the night shift at GameStop, which meant no more than I'd lock up around nine thirty and clean the store up. No one came in that late anyways so it doesn't matter. As I stood behind the counter watching my phone I heard the bell on the door jingle signaling someone had entered so I put my phone away and straightened my name tag while observing the make that had come in... He looked too familiar. His hair was unruly and was wearing glasses but that was about as much as I could notice with him sideways to me, so I waited. And waited.. It seemed like it had taken forever for him to decide on the new Assassins Creed but he eventually made his way to me..and that's when I noticed who it was...Mark.

I froze in fear and shock. I couldn't process that his brown eyes were glued onto my green ones "hi" he whispered, I opened my mouth trying to form words "hey.." I said awkwardly. I wanted to know why he was in Cincinnati but seeing as we hadn't ended on good terms I figured it'd be best to be curt and mind myself. "That'll be twenty one dollars and fifty cents" I told him "but the sticker said thirty dollars?" I began blushing "I gave you a discount..." He smiled a little "thanks" he said handing me the money "how have you been?" I asked, seeing as the atmosphere had lightened up a bit "good I guess, I'm the most subscribed gamer on YouTube..not that it matters" he mumbled "that's great news! You should be proud of yourself! I mean not to many people can beat the all mighty pewdiepie" he laughed at that "yeah I guess, thanks rachel" and with that he took his bag and left out the door...to only come back in a few minutes later "Rachel?" I looked over to him "yeah?" He sprinted over to me grabbing my hands, I felt my face heat up instantly "Rachel, I've come to take you home..to L.A." I couldn't process what he was saying "wha-?" I was caught off guard with warm strong arms wrapping around me "please come home rachel, I miss you more than anything" he was whispering in my ear. I didn't know what to say or do so I just stood there "Rachel?" I snapped my head up as he broke the hug "I'm proposing we get back together...what do ya say?" I felt butterflies in my stomach "actually don't answer that! I have a bigger question to ask" he grabbed my hand and made me crawl over the counter onto the open floor when the door began opening to reveal Bob and Wade with molly plus my father and Marks family gathering around us "Mark what's going on?" He smiled too me and began getting down on one knee. Now usually my brain would process this but no...not today, it was confused as ever "Rachel Marie Preston, Will you marry me?" I froze, tears welling up in my eyes I felt my mouth drop "y-yes Mark! I will!" He sprung up and hugged me so I put my legs up letting him spin me around. How did this happen?how did I get the happy ending? I'll never take it for granted that's for sure! I'll cherish every minute with this man! I'll let go of any last grudges and I'll be the wife Mark deserves because even though it's been a while I still love him the same as I ever had. I don't regret my past decisions I'd like to think that's what put things in motion, all I know right now is I have a future ahead of me..with this great man who slipped the ring over my finger gingerly, my life can only get better from here..with him, no matter in L.a. Or Cincinnati we'll have each other and for me..that's all I need.
