After that incident with James and Marcus I had to talk to Marcus about it. I caught up with him after he walked away and he said âWhat the hell was that? He still has feelings for you Charlotte, get back with him.â I couldnât believe it when he said that. âYou think I still love him donât you?â I said. The words blurted out my mouth. I regretted saying that. He came back with âAre you serious? Of course thatâs what I think, he canât keep his hands off you and you donât do anything about it. You havenât for the past 4 months. Charlotte I love you a lot and I hate it when he comes in and thinks heâs still with you. I havenât even known you for that long but I know you, really well. I know when youâre lying and I know when youâre not ok. James doesnât know any of that, because he didnât study how perfect you are.â I was taking in all of this, bit by bit. Heâs actually saying this to me. He actually is. âOkâ I say âIâm going to talk to him now.â I walk back over to James. He realizes Iâm there and slips his hands around my waist. I push him away and say âJames, Iâm not with you, you broke up with me remember? Get the fact that Iâve moved on and that you broke my heart and I hate you for that.â I walk away and Marcus gives me a thumbs up but then gives me a worried face and tells me to turn around. I turn around and James is coming my way. He screams at me âI never broke up with you Charlotte that night was a joke!â I couldnât believe it. The night he called me, crying on the phone was all a joke.

Iâm studying for my Chemistry Theory Finals. I look over at my phone and I have 14 missed calls from James, 8 from Brooklyn and 18 from Marcus. I called Brooklyn back first âHeyâ he starts and I say âWhyâd you call me so many timesâ and he says in a quiet voice âI needed to warn you about something that James is going to doâ I start to get worried âWhat is he going to do?â there was a pause from him âHeâs going to break up with you in front of everyone at school on Wednesdayâ. I hung up. I didnât know whether or not to believe him. I call Marcus back. It rings a few times. He answers like he just woke up. His voice was broad and deep, not like usual. I say âYou called me a few times? How come?â and he said âI couldnât stop thinking about you and whatâs going to happen to you âand I think does he already know? âThe James thing?â I say âYeah it is. Iâm here for youâ It was really sweet of him to say that but I donât know how I feel about him still. We say our goodbyes and I get onto my final phone call. James. It rings until his voicemail comes up. I donât leave a message; heâll call me back. He rings me and I pick up straight away. He says âHey, Iâve been thinking, we need to break up.â I knew it. âExcuse me?â I say. I already knew this was gonna happen. âI didnât want toâ he starts âbut your too attached to Marcus. You never want to hang out with me anymore. Youâre always doing fun things with Marcus and it looks like youâre dating him. I know about the Newtown Incident and Iâm mad that you didnât tell me, if you did I wouldâve understood but because you kept that from me I was furious You need to get with him. And soon.â I couldnât believe it. He was telling me to get with one of my best friends. âOk then, be like that, but you always said you were the one that didnât want to lose meâ and I hung up. I cried and cried. I texted Marcus âJames and I are through, text me donât call Xâ and then I texted Brooklyn âdonât text me but James and I are done, donât tell anyone Xoâ I didnât know what to do. I got urgent replies from the both of them saying call me text me and then I got a notification âMarcus Farge sent you a messageâ I open it and it was this long message about how he felt really bad and he confessed about how he really felt about me. I read it and read it and read over and over again and I still read that message every day.
Chapter 5: Well That Went Well
I walk into school the next day, shivering of the thought of going into class. I have English first period. I walk in and no sign of Marcus or James. One of Jamesâ friends walks up to me and says âBecause of you, theyâre both in the principalâs office. Your supposed boyfriend; warning of suspension. Your supposed ex and my best mate; Suspension of 6 days.â I stutter my words slightly âWhat happened to get them that much trouble?â regretting my question, he starts âJames told Marcus to meet him this morning so he could say sorry. But instead of saying sorry, he started a fight. We saw it and it didnât go down very well. James started the fight but then Marcus finished it. We left after he finished so no one knows what happened next.â I think to myself âMarcus? Finish a fight? He must be on drugsâ I sit down and half way through the class Marcus walks in. Black eye, a massive cut down his leg, cuts all down his arms and blood stains on his no longer pristine white shirt. He came in and sat down at the back. I text him, âI heard what happened. Are u ok? Xx.â Waiting for a response, James walks in slowly afterwards and sits down in Marcusâ normal spot. I hear his chair shuffle and he was right by me a second later. He whispers âI hope youâre happyâ and I shuffle my chair forward. My phone vibrates. Itâs a text from Marcus. âIâm fine. Talk to me after class outside :) Xx.â Not the answer I expected but still an answer. I look back and see him smile at me but it wasnât his superstar jock smile, it was a worried smile. I sit through the most boring class
