IN MY DARKEST HOUR YOU ARE MY LIGHT

MARCUS'S POV

How it all began.

“Chelsea I'm sorry just try to understand I did all this because…” I couldn't let the words leave my mouth.

Her eyes met mine as she gave me a disappointed look. 

“Because what Marcus?” She demanded tearfully. Making her cry was never my intention, and it made me feel like a total jerk.

“You ruined my life Marcus in your own fucked up away. You know when Max told me that you're the one who purposely got me fired I didn't want to believe him. Because I trusted you, but I didn't know that you were a phys co.”

I couldn't just let her walk away from me, I knew that I had messed up big time and when all my shit got revealed. I had no proper explanation; it just made me look like a selfish greedy prick who wanted a woman all to himself.

“Just let me explain myself I know it doesn't make sense Chelsea, but just try to hear me out.”

She crossed her arms over her chest.

“I met a girl when I was a grumpy teenager. I wanted nothing to do with her because she had everything I wanted.”

“A loving family.”

“I was jealous of her because I had a messed up family that beat me up and abused me every day.”

I could see the tears in her eyes, but I couldn't stop now I had to be honest with her and tell how I got messed up.

“She was my next door neighbor. She had bright red silky hair and green eyes that showed the depth of her kind heart. She was an angel, and I was the devil Chelsea. Furthermore, she wanted to be my friend, but I had rejected her because I couldn't bear my happy smile while I was suffering.”

“I was just a boy who was full of darkness, a darkness that I had gotten from my nasty father. I wished that she would just stay away from me and let me be in my dark place where I always tried to find comfort.”

“She was full of light that changed everyone when she smiled at you. It changed me, but she was gone, and I never heard from her ever again.”

“When I had decided to finally let her into my heart she walked away from me. I was broken, angry,sad and hurt. I had vowed to never be weak and be a victim of love.”

I swallowed hard grasping both of her cold hands in mine.

“It took me a while to realize that I loved her even if I didn't want to admit it. I still love you Chelsea, and I'll always love you.”

She stared at me with wide eyes, tears still rolling down her cheeks and I wiped them away.

“Marcus you've destroyed everything between us and I don't know if I'll ever trust you again” she whispers softly.

I nodded.

“It's not enough…”

“I know” I rasped quietly as I stroked her cheek gently. I had missed her terribly having so close to me again made me feel stronger.

She pulled away from my arms.

“You're getting married tomorrow Marcus to Tara and there's no us any more you already lost the both of us” she whispered as she caressed her swollen pregnant bump.

“This is goodbye and I wish all the best in your new life… I'm happy for you.”

“Chelsea it doesn't have to end like this I can call everything off with just a single call don't leave me.”

“Stay…” I whispered and crushed my lips on hers roughly tasting her sweetness.

“Please” I pleaded once I pulled back.

“Goodbye Marcus” she said softly and began to walk away.

I had brought this upon myself, and maybe I deserve to feel this kind of pain. I lost Chelsea and I would never see our child be born. For a while I just stood there helpless and lost. I didn't know what to do to get out of this situation overnight.

She was the reason why I had changed for the better I couldn't lose her for the second time. It was my fault that she was gone. I had pushed her away, and now she was gone. Her words still made my heart ache with pain. The pain of losing her sucked, and I probably deserved it. 

Max ruined everything by telling her the truth.

There goes my heart beating

Because you are the reason

I'm losing my sleep

Please come back now

There goes my mind racing
