Chapter 5

Marks POV

After a long day at the water park, me and Y/N decided to take Chica home, take a shower, and put on some decent clothes. We headed to the bar and just talked.

"So, I was thinking, on doing another project," I said. "Omg! Really? Is it gonna be like how 'A Heist with Markiplier' was?" She asked. I nodded. "But I'm not sure if I should or not," "I think you should! I mean I think your last project was a big hit. So why not!" I smiled. "Live your dreams Mark. Don't let anyone stop you. You have so many fans and family that support you. As well as me obviously," She chuckled, "all the haters and people who don't like you should be another reason for you to keep moving. You are amazing, funny, awesome, and veryy handsome," she winks at me and giggles. I slightly blush a little bit.

"Thank you," that was all I could really say. It was 'thank you'. At that point I kind of wanted to cry. No one has never told me that. Not even a fan. All that she said was so inspiring that it did make me want me to keep pushing and live my dreams.

Y/N hugged me tightly. I slowly started to hug back and just start crying. "You don't understand on how much that means to me Y/N. I am truly so thankful for you." I felt Y/N hug me tighter. "It's fine really. I would so rather see other people happy than me. You inspire me so much and make my day!" She pulls away and wipes away my tears. "I'm always here for you Mark. Seriously. I want to help you achieve your goals. I want to see you grow into more of a better person. Even though you are just perfect to me and your fans. Even you friends and family," I was so speechless that I just cried more. How does one make your day so much better and can make you fall in love so quickly?

We ended up home at 4:30 in the morning. Me and Y/N were super tired and just wanted to sleep. Y/N went into her room and got her pjs on. I as well put mine on. I laid down in my bed and looked at the ceiling. Chica jumped onto my bed and cuddled me. I petted her and the turned to my side, facing the door. For some odd reason I couldn't sleep.

I tried to fall asleep for like 30 minutes. I thought to myself, 'what if I ask Y/N to come lay with me?' Maybe I shouldn't? But I have too!

I got up and went to Y/Ns door and knocked on it. "Yes?" I heard faintly. "Hey can I come in?" I asked. "Yes," I walked in and seen Y/N sitting in her bed. "Are you having a rough time sleeping too?" Y/N asked. I nodded slowly, "very much so," we both giggled. "So question," "what's up?" "Did you really mean all those things you said at the bar?" I asked looking at Y/N. "Well of course I did. If I didn't then I wouldn't have said it." I smiled brightly and wanted to cry again. "Simone's really tired" Y/N giggled. "Shut up" I said in a pouty tone while sniffling. I softly pushed her. She pulls me close and we laid down. She started to play with my hair. I was able to hear her heart beat and her soft breathing. I slowly closed my eyes and drifted off into sleep.

•Y/Ns POV•

I was playing with Marks hair. It was so soothing. I cant believe I'm in my favorite YouTubers house, playing with his hair, while cuddling him. I'm literally fangirling so hard in the inside. I'm so super positively happy.

My thoughts got interrupted by Marks snores. I smile and quietly giggle to myself. I didn't think he was gonna fall asleep. I rub his back softly, trying to not wake him up. Soon my eyes felt very heavy and I close my eyes.

"I TOLD YOU TO COME BACK HERE YOU SLUT !" I ran as fast as I could to the door. Tears come down blurring up my vision so it was hard for me to see around the house. It was very dark in the house and I was still very unfamiliar with the lay out of it.

As I go to reach for the front door handle I trip and fall. I tried to get up, but my leg gets pulled with a pair of hands. I get flipped on my back and I start to get choked. More and more tear start to flow out from my eyes. "Now you listen to me! You are to NEVER step foot out that front door! YOU HEAR? Cause you are NEVER gonna leave me!! I tried to apologize... but now that you didn't accept it, and you went and gone to another MAN!? You're gonna pay for that. And you are gonna pay for that now!" His voice was loud and caused me to flinch. He punches me in the face and picks me up and throws me over his shoulders. "LET ME DOWN!!! LET ME GO!!" I kicked and screamed. But I couldn't get out of his arms.

He throws me into the bed and ties me to the bed frame. He then leaves the room and comes back with a knife. My eyes widen. "QUILL PLEASE DONT!! STOP AND THINK!! IF YOU REALLY LOVED ME YOU WOULD LET ME GO HOME!!" I screamed out. "SILENCE!! All you will do is just go back to that scumbag who stole my girlfriend!" He put the knife against my throat. "And now he's never gonna have her." He then slits-

I shoot up and I screamed in fear. Mark was kneeling right next to me. I look at him and my eyes start to swell with tears. He sits on the bed and pulls me into a hug. I start to sob into his arms. "It's gonna be ok. Everything is fine." He said in a hushed tone. It calmed me... hearing his heartbeat and his breathing calmed me. I start to calm down and back away gently from the hug. "I- I'm sorry you had to deal with that." I said while sniffling. "No no it's ok. What happened? Was it a bad dream?" I looked down at my hands. I lowly started speaking, it almost sounded like mumbling but Mark was able to understand what I said, " It was more than a bad dream." "Awe, may I ask what it was about? Maybe it can help you get over it." I ball my fist up and I take a deep breath. "It was my Ex... he... killed me because I was hanging out with you. The thing is... it felt so real. As if I was actually experiencing it in real life." Mark grabbed my hand and held it. "Look, everything is gonna be ok. He's not gonna hurt you. You're safe with me. And if he does hurt you, I'm gonna get the police and have them arrest him." I smile a little bit at Marks words. "Thank you." He smiles back at me and gives me another hug. "You're welcome"
