Chapter 21
Our EndingThe door slowly opened. I didn't know what to do, so I froze there.
"D-Don't-" I choked, the door was fully opened and there was Mark. He came inside the room and quickly shut the door behind him.
"M-Mark..What are you-" I was interrupted. Mark pulled me into a tight hug.
"Who are you really..?" he sighed, "Why...why does it hurt to see you?"
I wanted to yell at him and tell him everything. I wanted everything to go back to the way it was. I wanted him to remember me and I wanted to be with him. But.. But I don't want to ruin his life. His life which he has two kids and is married. Where he has his own roof and his own job. If he had ended up with me..He could've had nothing in the end.
I cried..I cried with all my heart. That pain which was held in, in such small time hurt so much. I hugged him back and without knowing I had whispered, "I love you, Mark."
I wasn't sure if he heard it or not, but I didn't care. For that moment, I wanted this to last. But I knew I had to let go because I knew if I had held on any longer, it'd become something I can't control- an obsession. I quickly pulled away from the hug and wiped away the tears.
"Hey, guys the food is getting cold!" Jackson whined.
"We.. we should go.." Mark awkwardly stepped to the side.
I just kept on blushing and walked out the door and downstairs to the food with Mark waling beside me. As soon as we reached the table, Jackson has started stuffing his mouth with food.
"When did you start eating?" Mark glared at him.
Jackson stopped and swallowed, " Ever since I had teeth." Jackson quickly made a peace sign and smiled; then started eating again.
I smiled, "Jackson, stop eating so fast."
Jackson gave me a quick look and just kept eating.
