Chapter 15- Breakup
Chapter 15
I look at the time and see its 8:30. I guess I forgot that Mark's a morning person and he likes to keep to time.
How am I going to tell Michael?
I decide I won't. I'll tell Mark that we can go sightseeing around the city. Another buzz comes from my phone.
Please hurry Bella. You know I don't like to wait.
I sigh and get up from the bed slowly so that Michael won't wake up. I quickly change out of my pajamas and into jeans and a very old T-shirt.
I walk out of the room and to the front door, opening it.
"Bella, I've missed you!" He exclaims and hugs me.
"I've missed you too." I say, smiling.
I am happy to see him, but he doesn't give me those butterflies I get every time I see Michael.
"Bella?" Marks waves me away from LaLa Land.
"What.. yes?"
"It just seemed like you were distracted. Are you happy to see me?" He asks.
"Of course I am." I hug him again.
"Can I come in?"
"Um, actually, I wanted to go around the city with you for a bit." I say.
"You could at least give me a tour, come on."
He pulls my inside and I pray fervently that Michael is still asleep, please.
I show him around very quickly. If he notices, he doesn't say anything and tries to keep up with me.
"Bella?" I hear, but this time, its not Mark's voice.
I freeze in my spot as I hear footsteps and Mark looks at me, confused.
"Did you hear that?" He asks.
"No, nothing, look at the time we should start going!"
I grab my purse and Mark follows me out of the door.
That was seriously a close call.
"Bella, your parents are in China for a business trip, and they told me to say hi for them. They miss you."
Another thing about my parents is that they put academics and work before everything, even their only daughter. One of the reasons I was sort of relieved to move out.
I get into the driver's seat of my car and strap my belt buckle in while Mark gets in the passangers seat.
"So, where are we going?" He asks.
"Hm, there's a fair in town today, would you like to go?"
He raises his hands.
"Its your car, take it where you'd like."
I giggle and then speed off to the fair. I know this can't take long because Michael will start to get suspicious.
After about an hour of cotton candy, rides, and fun prizes, Mark won me a purple teddy bear.
"Thank you Mark!"
I squeeze him and he smiles.
"You're welcome Bella, I love you."
I want to say it back so badly, but I can't. I don't know if I still love him, or if I've ever loved him.
We get back in the car and I devour the rest of my cotton candy.
"So, how are your studies going?" Mark asks.
"They're going well actually."
"Great, your parents told me to ask that."
And there he goes with my parents. I'm sure if I didn't have parents, we would never have anything to talk about. If people didn't know, they would think we were friends. I mean, he won't even kiss me in public!
I pull up to my apartment complex and grab the keys.
I don't even have to open the door, because standing there was Michael.
He stands there, a very irritated look on his face, his hands behind his back.
"Would you like to tell me what's going on Bella?" Michael asks.
I cringe and then I feel my stomach drop when Mark emerges from the car.
"May I ask who you are?" Michael says.
"I am Bella's boyfriend. May I ask who you are?"
"Damn right you may. I'm Michael Jackson."
Mark stumbles a little but then regains his stature.
"I'm a big fan and everything, but Bella is my girlfriend, not yours.." He says, a little less assurtively.
"From my understanding, you dont deserve her. She doesn't even know if she loves you."
Michael advances toward Mark and I know I have to get in between things.
"So you're saying she loves you over her boyfriend of four damn years?!" He steps closer to Michael.
Michael shrugs.
"Why don't you ask her."
He gestures toward me and Mark turns.
"Bella, please tell me you love me and not him." He begs.
"I do like you Mark.." I start.
"That's not the name you screamed in bed last night." Michael mumbles.
Mark and I gasp and I turn to him.
"So this is what you want?" He points to Michael.
"Fine, I have no part in this." He storms out the door and into his car.
"Mark! Please--" I call, but I have no idea what to say.
I'm the one that caused everything, I'm the one that cheated, but for some reason, I'm still angry at Michael.
"Why did you tell him that!" I yell.
"Because its true, and you would've cheated anyway."
"I'm still sad I got dumped.."
"Obviously not sad enough, because most girls would be crying their eyes out."
Strangely, not being with Mark anymore lifted a weight off my shoulders. Now I don't have to sneak around to do things with Michael, and I don't care if my parents like him or not. This is my life.
Although I miss those four years, its like ending a friendship to me, nothing more.
I look up at Michael and he's biting his lip, staring at me.
"Stop.." I sigh and play with my hair.
"Sorry, you're just so cute when you're mad.."
I blush and look down. He drives me insane! Its like we're a married couple but we're not even dating.
I walk away and the time is noon. I slump on the couch and Michael sits on me.
"Are you still mad babe?" He asks.
"Yes."
He suddenly kisses me, and I know I could stay here forever. He traces my figure with his fingers and squeezes my thighs.
"Now you're not."
He smirks and gets up, leaving me with my mouth hanging open.

Who's happy Bella and Mark are over? I need feedback!
