MARCUS'S POV
The pain inside me intensified but I gave Chelsea a fake smile. Honestly I was happy for her but a part of was selfish. I wanted Chelsea all to myself.
"I'm happy for you bunny."
She cocked a brow at me in surprise and I smirked wickedly.
"Bunny?" She pressed colly.
"Yeah it's what I'll be calling you from now on. I hope you like it."
She smiled.
" Well it's not that bad," she said quietly.
While shrugs carelessly.
I stared at the dark sky. It was getting very late. I'm sure Chelsea's parents must be getting worried.
"It's getting maybe I should escort you home."
She nodded quietly and said nothing.
Before she could walk away I held her by the wrist stopping her.
"Wait."
She gave me a puzzled look.
"Yeah?
I sighed deeply t
CHELSEA'S POVWhen Marcus had pulled me closer my heart started pounding in my chest I felt like I was going to explode. He cupped one of my cheeks gently when he leaned closer I closed my eyes shut.I knew he was going to do it.Marcus was going to kiss me.When I felt his lips on mine butterflies in my tummy began dancing in the pit of my stomach.I felt sparks. His grip around my waist got tighter as he urged me to kiss him back. I calmed myself down and kissed him back with everything I had in me.I can't believe that I'm having my first kiss with Marcus. He pulled back with a shaky exhale and the warm feeling inside me craved more of his touch.I frowned at him."Marcus….why did you stop?" I muttered coolly while pouting my lips.He chuckled lightly and traced his thumb over my bottom lip."Trust me Chelsea I d
MARCUS'S POVLife without her wasn't the same; it felt like I had gone back to square where nobody cared about me.Chelsea was the only one who made it feel like home. It's been a mother and I miss her desperately.Her schedule is really tight so we only talked a few times but I always left her messages in case he got free.Mr. Smith placed my test results on my desk and I snapped out of thoughts my gaze lingered on his concerned face."Sorry sir I wasn't listening."He nodded quietly."I'm concerned Mr. Devon ever since Ms. Evans left this school your grades have been going down. Is something wrong?"I shook my head negatively.Mr. Smith sighed deeply and sat beside me.The bell rang and students quickly rushed out leaving us alone. He everybody looked at me like I was in trouble or something.
MARCUS'S POVIt's been two months now I still haven't heard from Chelsea. When I usually tried to call her phone was usually off and it was actually strange.I kept pacing around the room trying to call her but it went straight voicemail.What was going on?This wasn't like her. I took deep breaths trying to calm down myself but the darkness inside me was on the verge of exploding.Maybe I should ask her parent's.No. I quickly went against it. This was so pathetic I'll just send her voicemail and ask her to call me back.She was my girlfriend not my wife. I didn't want to scare her away but I was so worried. I needed to hear her voice just once.I slumped on the bed and after a minute a sly smirk covered my lips.Her room.I knew that Chelsea was miles away from me but her clothes were still next door. T
MARCUS'S POVShe had betrayed me.Everything was nothing but a fucking lie.I slumped to my knees pathetically and scaremed.I fell in love with her.When I glanced at my phone the screen was broken and the darn thing kept showing her pictures like it was mocking me.The pain in my chest intensified.I tossed the phone across the wall and it broke apart and went off.I poured out my feelings,my dark past and the demons inside me. I still can't believe that I fucking trusted her.She played me and I fell for it like a gullible idiot I was.Someone kept knocking on the door calling out my name,but I couldn't hear anything the demons inside me had taken over and they were pissed.I kept throwing things against the wall.My demons were on a rampage.The lyrics inside me kept mocking me.
Her memories still haunted me at times. My darkness always buried the memories deep inside me. This time I didn't try to hold back what I always felt.Doctor Alan was right. I've been keeping too many negative emotions inside me when Chelsea ended everything between us that was the day I snapped and I released all my anger.Everything I was holding onto I just let go the doctors let me vent out my anger for fucking six months like some physco.But I was glad for it.Everything that haunted me was just a phase of my life that I didn't want to remember just like the redhead I knew.But she still haunts my dreams. And sometimes I feel like I can't escape.She drowns me and I fight her back but I'll get over it.Both of us were just kids but I was grown ass man now she didn't mean anything to me and she never will.She was dead to me.I haven't spoken
CHELSEA'S PERSPECTIVEOver the years I just saw in him the shadows until I finally saw things. I closed that sad chapter of my life.I let go of Marcus and focused on getting better and finally fixing my broken life. Letting him go was a total nightmare I cried until all my tears finally dried up.I felt like a living but one day I just snapped out of depression and focused on my future.I grew up.I worked out more often and took a lot of therapy. Talking to someone had helped me let of the anger and pain I was holding.Maybe it wasn't just meant to be, I just accepted my fate.TEN YEARS LATERMARCUS'S POVI stared at my reflection in the mirror and straightened my black tie.A sly smile curved my lips.Perfect.When I glanced back
MARCUS'S POVAfter interviewing almost ten candidates none of them had impressed me.They were all useless.I kept tapping on my wooden desk impatiently.I closed my eyes and counted one to ten. Doctor Alan always said that it would help me relax whenever I was stressed and frustrated.I opened my eyes and took a deep breath."Relax Marcus."I had to put on my mask and bury all the emotions I felt. Because it was a sign of weakness and I couldn't let them bring me to my knees.Like some weakling.Over the past years I stopped communicating with my father a few days ago. Minnie had called me that he was on his deathbed.He wanted to see me.But I wanted nothing to do with him because he had rejected me. I wasn't his true son.A part of me wanted to go and hear what he had to sa
MARCUS'S POVDespite the hatred I felt for Chelsea deep down I knew that a part of me missed her.Her memories always found a way to crept into my mind and taunted me.The memory was like a vivid dream when I recalled the first time I met Chelsea I was just a naive teenager back then.FLASHBACKMy dad and his wife have four kids. I'm surprised that their marriage has lasted this long.I shot my basketball through the hoop and scored. I was good at basketball but I was never interested in making a career.It was just a hobby and a distraction I needed to keep me busy.I joined the school track team to keep myself busy. It was a good workout and it changed my physique. Even though I was just a fourteen year old boy the work gave me a six-pack and a few hard core muscles.I was re
