Times change, huh? (Markimash)(DISCONTINUED)

4~Here I stand, as a broken man

~~Aaron's P.O.V~~

"Ashlyn! Get up right now or I'm not taking you to school." I yelled from outside Ash's room. I heard a loud groan and a thud followed by another groan. I chuckled knowing she just fell off her bed.

"Then I'm not getting up!" She yelled back. I rolled my eyes.

"I've already enrolled you plus the counselor is waiting to give you a tour so we gotta go!" I responded before walking off.

I walked to our room to wake up Mark now. I walked over to him an pushed at his arm.

"Baby wake up, we have to take Ash to school and the counselor wants to meet us." I whispered as I kept poking him.

He groaned and rolled over to where his face was in the pillows. Yup, Ashlyn definitely belongs to him.

"Can we just stay here in bed and cuddle or something?" He asked turning his head to face me. I kissed his temple.

"After we take Ash to school, then we can come back home and sleep all day, does that sound nice?" I suggested.

He closed his eyes and flashed a sleepy smile. "Perfect."

"Now get up you doofus, we have like 45 minutes." I said before standing up and going into the kitchen I quickly cooked up some eggs and bacon for us all as Ash walked in looked really bored and Mark looking like he had just got out of the shower. We all ate silently for the next 15 minutes until we cleaned our plates and walked out the door.

"So Ash, your counselor is going to give you a tour of the school and all your classes while we talk to your principle. Sound okay?" Mark said from the drivers seat.

"Whatever." Ashlyn mumbled sleepily. I chuckled. We pulled into the school parking lot and got out, Mark grabbing hold of my hand as we walked up to the school.

We checked in with the receptionist who sent us in to see the principle.

"Ahh you must be the Fischbach's!" A red haired man who looked to be in his 50's greeted us as we walked in. He eyed Mark and I's hands together before smiling at us.

"Yes we are." I greeted back and shook his hand. Mark shook his hand as well as Ash stood off to the side looking like she was about to fall over from wanting to sleep.

"And this must be Ashlyn." He said turning to her. She sleepily smiled back at him.

"When do I have to take the tour so I can get this stupid thing over with?" She mumbled.

"Ashlyn!" I gasped turning to her. "Be polite." I told her. She started to mimic me by moving her mouth and hand. I mimicked her back and the principle laughed.

"I have a feeling that she is going to fit in nicely. Ms. Joy! Can you please give Ms. Ashlyn Fishbach her schedule and take her around?" He said turning his attention to outside his office.

A short Asian lady walked in with a smile and pulled Ash along.

"Bye dad! Bye daddy!" She said before walking out.

"Bye sweetheart!" Mark and I said in unison. She and the Ms. Joy walked away out of the office area and went venturing out into the school.

For the next hour or so the principle, who I learned was Mr. Turner, talked about rules of the school and how thing worked. We talked about what the school was like and how the teachers would do anything to get the students able to graduate. As inspiring as it was to hear all of this information, I kind of dozed off a little bit. Mark would shake my arm to get my attention and to get me to wake up but I would end up with the same tired feeling later. The principles boring monotone voice lulling on and on about stuff we've already heard, soft, boring, quiet, cold, sleepy, boring, soft, cold quiet-

"So!" Mr. Turner yelled slightly making me jump in my seat. Mark chuckled and the principle stood up. "I think that's all, it was nice to meet you both. I look forward to meeting you both again." He smiled softly.

Mark and I stood up smiling. "Same here." Mark said politely shaking his hand. I quickly shook his hand as well before taking Marks and walking out the door.

"Haha you fell asleep." Mark chuckled as we reached the parking lot.

"Yeah because he is just so boring. His voice was so monotone and the room was cold and it was just miserable." I yawned.

Mark opened my door for me and smiled. "Yeah he was pretty boring. I don't blame you. I just thought it was kinda cute." He said leaning down and kissing my nose. I scrunched up my nose and Mark chuckled.

"Okay let's go home now. I'm tired." I said and pushed him away from my door. He smiled and walked to his side and got in, starting the car and driving home.

"Oh wait! Before we go home we need to go to the store for dinner tonight." I told him quickly as we almost missed the exit.

"Jesus Aaron, you could have told me before." He said and looked across the road for any other cars before pulling into the parking lot.

"Sorry I forgot. But I'll just be really quick I swear." I said as he stopped the car. He nodded as he handed me some money from his wallet. I got out of the car and quickly ran inside.

I walked up and down the aisles grazing my eyes over the different products for tonight's dinner, grabbing only the essentials. I soon had a mini basket filled for tonight's feast, but I wasn't finished just yet. I needed one more ingredient, milk. Yeah yeah it's pretty basic but we didn't just need it for tonight, we just needed some in general. The milk would only make the dish taste more fluffy and soft.

I made my way to the dairy products but got stopped in my tracks. I stood shocked at what I was seeing, almost dropping my basket in the process.

Why was...? Is...? But...? How...? Were the things going through my mind as I stood there, staring...
