Chapter 10 - NO LIE

Nessa....Am...sorry again, bye.

She ended the call.

Aaron....Was that Vanessa? Isnt she coming?

Mark....She is not, am going home.

Aaron....But the party just begun.

Mark....Am bored, later dude.

He drove his car and went home, only to find Zora in his bedroom sitting on his bed undressed.

Mark....What the fuck?

Zora....I've been waiting for you.

Mark....Seriously? Get out now!

Zora....You seriously don't like Vanessa, do you?

Mark....You ruined my life, and now you still think that i will love you? You think your body is attractive, not to me.

Zora....Dont tell me that your not tempted,right? No man can resist a naked woman, this is a turn on for you.

She went to him and tried to kiss him, he pushed her away.He grabbed her hand and dragged her out.

Mark....Even if its just us left on earth, i will never love you, you disgust me so dont cross the line like you did last time because we both know how it ended.

Zora....Oh really? Are blaming for that? Isnt that your fault? Everyone hates you for that Mark, only i can live with your flaws.

Mark....Enough!

Zora....Anyway, tomorrow is their death anniversary, hope you keep you sane.

He locked the door and went in the shower, he started crying his eyes out.The next day at school, neither him or Zora or Teenk showed up.

Nessa....(Where's he? Even Trenk nor Zora are here? Did something happen?)

Girl....Hi Vanessa,it must be hard for you to know that your boyfriend still grieves for his dead ex.

Nessa....What do you mean?

Girl....Today is Peyton's death anniversary, she in a car accident two years ago, today.

Nessa....You mean Mark? He had a girlfriend....and he died?

Girl....You didnt know? He loved her dearly, thats why he changed to a bad boy.He grieves for her and doesn't even show up at school for a week.

Nessa....Thats so sad.(But why did call him a murderer? He must be feeling down, i wish i could comfort him).

Lessons ended and she went to the field, she trained for hours and after went to shower but it was the male's bathroom.

Nessa....Ugh! Why do i always end up in the men washrooms? I should leave before someone comes in.

As she was leaving, she heard someone crying, she went to see who it was, it was Mark in the shower, she covered her eyes.

Nessa....I didnt...see anything, sorry.

Mark got a towel and tied it on his lower body.

Mark....Why are you in the male's bathrooms again?

Nessa....Sorry, i get confused all the time.But...why are you crying? Are you fine?

Mark....I dont know....

Nessa....Its okay...we all feel that way sometimes.But dont worry, time heals all wounds.

Mark....But my wounds...are deeper and they will never heal.

Tears started flowing from his eyes again, Vanessa hugged him while patting his back.

Nessa....Hush, they will heal, okay?

Mark held her tightly.

Mark....Can you please stay here with me for awhile?

Nessa....(Why is my heart...out of control? I've never leaned on a male's naked body, his so masculine.Stop it Nessa, his in pain yet am only thinking about myself.But the way his holding in arms....feels safe and comforting).

Mark....Please Vanessa!

Nessa....Am staying, i cant just walk away when your like this.Just cry all you want, it helps relieving some stress off.

Mark....Am...a monster.

Nessa....No your not, if you were a monster, you shouldnt have given me a chance to be on your team or even take me to the hospital when i was sick.

Mark....Were you...touched?

Nessa....I was because your a bad boy, it was suprising for to take care of me.

They sat on the bench and talked for awhile, Mark cheered up.

Nessa....I should go home.

Mark....Thanks for today, its kinda embarrassing.

Nessa....Its not, we all reach this point at a certain time, its all good, i wont tell anyone.

Mark....Your always kind Vanessa and caring.

Nessa....Well, thats me.

Mark....Am gonna return the favour.

Nessa....No need, anyway, i should get going for now.

She went home but kept thinking about Mark and his body.

Nessa....God! I wanna hug him again, his heart was racing.That girl was lucky to have him because damn, his one to die for.

In the morning, she went to school, Mark was waiting for her with a box.

Nessa....Morning, whats that?

Mark....Here, open it.

She opened it and gasped, it was an iphone, the latest brand.

Nessa....Wow! This is the latest one, i always wanted to get one.

Mark....I saw that your phone was kinda...outdated so i got you that one.

Nessa....Your not evil as you used to be, i like this new you.I mean...i like you as in...you know.

Mark....So you dont like me like liking?

Nessa....What? I didnt get that, but thanks.From now on, we are friends, right?

Mark....What if i don't wanna be just friends?

Nessa....(Their he goes with his heart attacking words.)

Trenk came out of the blue suddenly and held Vanessa's hand, he took her outside living everyone curious, Mark included and Zora.

Nessa....Whats your problem?

Without saying a word, he hugged her but Mark saw them since he followed them.

Trenk....Its really you Nessa, i was so dumb not to recognize you at first, am sorry.

Mark walked jealously.

Nessa....Did you just call me Nessa?

Trenk....I did.

Nessa....Only my close people call that name.Wait....Trenk?

Trenk....Yes Nessa, its me Trenk.Am sorry that it took me so long to find you, yet you were here with me this whole time.

Nessa....Goodness! What a small world it is, its really you Trenk.
