MARCUS'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
MARCUS'S POVIt seemed like an endless tunnel full of darkness. 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
CHELSEA'S POVI was surprised to hear that someone had gotten higher marks than me. When Mr. Smith congratulated Marcus. I was astonished and I stared at him in surprise.He was a bad boy, good looking and smart that was definitely a dangerous combination.My mini me cheered happily."We found our perfect match M.A.R.C.U.S!"she yelled and threw up pink pom-poms in the air excitedly and did a split with a big grin plastered on her face.I closed my eyes and shut her off.She's had enough excitement for one day once Mr. Smith left and I turned to Marcus, our eyes locked and I gave him a small smile."Congratulations you deserve it" I said sincerely and he gave me a stern nod and fixed his gaze on his results."Thanks Chelsea."Mr. Smith wrote some notes on the board and I took out my notebook and began scribbling my handwriting in it.&nbs
CHELSEA'S POVEver since Marcus and I ate lunch together we've been inseparable.I actually kept our friendship a secret if my father had to find out about my friendship with Marcus he would definitely freak out.I can't believe that it was finally Saturday that meant that Marcus and I would hang out today.I searched for the perfect outfit and decided to wear a red mini dress paired off with a denim jacket and black Converses.I tied my hair in a high ponytail and applied some pink lip gloss. I don't know why but I just wanted to look perfect.And today was also my eleventh birthday.And said that he wanted to show me something cool before my birthday ended.Judging by how clingy my parents became these days escaping for a few hours would be hard. My dad would easily get suspicious if unexpectedly disappeare
MARCUS'S POVI was very thankful that I didn't have my father's unfortunate stupidity. I had his looks but not his brains.I was a straight A+ student but my own father never seemed to care about my grades. Only one person genuinely cared about my grades.And that was Chelsea.Once I was awarded for being the best student Chelsea was thrilled it made my darkness less.Chelsea places a comforting hand on my shoulder and I snap out of my thoughts."Hey is something?" She asks curiously and I nod negatively.The last thing I wanted to do is make her worry about my shit.I can take care of myself just fine.I gave Chelsea an assuring fake smile."I'm fine Chelsea don't worry yourself."She gave me a doubtful look." Come on Chelsea I said I'm fine so don't worry and let's finish eating" I muttered coolly pointing at ou
MARCUS'S POVWhen Chelsea went for summer and Christmas holidays it was always hard saying goodbye to her. She loved spending the holidays with her old folks but I often missed her so much.I wanted to call her and just listen to her voice but my inner conscience would always taunt me. It often called me clingy and that always stopped me from calling her.It's been years and I still haven't gotten a clue about my so-called lost sister. My mother had left such a big task on my hands.I didn't even know what she actually looked like. I was only left with the definition of her birthmark.It's star shaped precisely on her neck.I wish she was still here, maybe things would have become this hard.I wouldn't be the broken boy Chelsea and I would have been good to her.I haven't told Chelsea about my lost sister but from what I know mom gave her away to some rich influent
CHELSEA'S POVDuring the summer holiday I had desperately missed Marcus but my conscience wouldn't let me call him.It kept taunting me and I didn't want to look clingy. We were just friends to him but I felt like it was more than that.I really liked Marcus but I don't know if he feels the same way about me.Maybe I shouldn't get my hopes since it's just a high school crush.I was that type of girl he dreamed about a prince charming that would come along in my life. He would sweep me off my feet and I would madly fall in love with him.We'd get married and have kids and finally live happily.That was my dream.Though it sounded pathetic.I had a dreamI got everything I wantedNot what you'd thinkAnd if I'm being honestIt might've been a nightmareTo anyone who might careThought I could
MARCUS'S POVThat summer had changed everything between us. It felt like it happened yesterday but it's been years and the pain is still fucking raw.Her smile still haunted me in my dreams even if I didn't want to admit my thoughts always drifted to her and a part of me missed her.I placed the cigarette between my lips and inhaled the smoke. The darkness inside me roared with excitement. It loved being fed hate,anger,regret, it just craved nasty emotions.She had left a big scar on my heart. I don't even know why I allowed her inside in the first place. But it's been years and all I feel for her is hatred.She created a monster and left it untamed. My favourite song played in the background as I recalled the last memories of Chelsea.Cold and broken downIt’s all I knewI let it corner me inAnd hide where my tracks leadNow I’m waking upAnd all I do
