2021-02-12 21:11:40MARCUS'S POV
Her name was Chelsea. It was such a lovely name, and it suited her as well.
It was clear that she wanted us to be friends, but honestly we could never be friends and I didn't have the time to make friends. I was too busy trying to straighten out my messed up life.
I was too busy dealing with the darkness that I've kept inside me ever since my mother passed away.
Furthermore, I felt like exploding and going on a rampage whenever I saw my father's face.
He deserved to be sentenced to death for what he did to mother, and I promise one day I'll make him pay, and he'll have to face the law for the murder he committed years ago.
I was full of darkness, and she was a ray of light and I would only taint her with my inner demons.
My darkness was contiguous.
She was full of life, bubbly, cheerful and happy while I don't even remember the day I smiled.

MARCUS'S POVI was surprised that one single statement made her leave. Once she left I smirked and went back home.By the time I was arriving home it was empty, and I saw a sticky note on the refrigerator.“Cindy has gone into labour and your brother and sister will be spending the night at their grandparents house.”“Food is already in the refrigerator, just warm it and don't burn down the house.”I grabbed the note and shredded it to pieces. I opened the refrigerator and took out my meal a few minutes later I placed it in the microwave.My thoughts wandered off to Chelsea, the new sassy girl on the block. A small smile curved my lips and I slumped on the sofa and turned on the TV.Flickering through the channel list searching for something to watch, and usually it had the most boring shows ever.The microwave dinged, and I got up

I kept following it each step I took sent a chill down my spine it was oddly cold and silent.The only sound that I could hear was my rapid breathing.Where the heck was I?My eyes lazily scanned the room but I couldn't make out a single thing in the darkness.Then I heard a voice singing."Once you wish upon a star…make a silent wish in your heart.""Is someone there?!" I yelled but my voice only echoed in the darkness and the song stopped.The darkness inside me was haunting me.Something rushed past me and I fell to the ground staring at the darkness. It slowly began to disappear and I found myself in a forest.It sinked and reeked of very foul smells.I covered myself quickly when I felt my stomach churning.Oh no I was

KELSEY POVI was really glad to have such good friends like Jane and Sasha. Once we arrived at the wedding venue they all made sure to stay by my side.I looked at the entrance wishing that it was getting married to Marcus and not that witch Tara. Maybe Marcus is blinded by her money if that's the case then I'm very disappointed in him."Are you going to be ok?" Jane asked curiously.I nodded quietly."Yeah I want to do this Jane it's time I also move on and try to forget about Marcus."Jane gave me a small smile and nodded.I was really tired of getting asked the same question over and over again my answer also didn't change.
