Chapter 7

*Y/N POV*

"Well, Miss L/N..." I looked up at Officer Jones. "We arrested Quill, and he won't be coming out for a very long while. We were able to catch footage of when you and Mark went to the water park." My face lit up. I start to cry. My head was spinning with the happiness that overcame my whole body.

Mark comes in the room, and I shoot up and run to him. We both hug each other tightly. I sob into his chest. Me and Mark were able to finally unpack my stuff and we won't be able to be bothered.

Me and Mark pulled up to his house and we see Tyler, Ethan, Bob, and Wade all sitting outside waiting for us. I look over at Mark as he smiled and looked back at me. "They're here for you. They will unpack your things. All you have to do is just tell them where to put it. I'll put any pots and pans and other kitchen stuff in the kitchen." Mark said as he put his hand on my hand. Tears run down my face. "Thank you, Mark. So much. And I mean it. You've done so much for me within the last couple of days and I seriously wouldn't know what to do without you." Mark started to blush a little bit. "Awwww is someone blushing because he saved someones lifeee." I joked and Mark playfully punched my arm. "Oh shut up you!" Mark said crossing his arms after. "Whatever," I giggled. I messed up his hair a little bit and spoke up again, "Lets go, I don't want the boys to wait any longer." Mark nodded and we walked up to the house door.

All four of the boys greeted us and I introduced myself to them. They were somehow what I thought they would be off camera. They were polite and kind. They also were just chill and laid back. Ethan on the other hand, he was laid back, sweet, and chill, but his ADHD was in the mix so it was just a little funny just to see him try to introduce himself.

We all went inside, and I told the boys where to put my stuff and Mark put all my kitchen stuff in his kitchen.

"Bob- they're gonna-" *CRASH BOOM~* "BOB-!" I yelled in laughter. The other three boys laugh as well. "I'm OkAy" Bob while lying flat on his back. Mark comes in to see what was going on. "What on earth?" Mark peeps his head in my bedroom. He sees me, Tyler, Ethan, and Wade helping bob up and picking up the stuff that fell out of the boxes he was holding. "It was Ethans fault!" Wade says, pointing at Ethan trying to mess with him. "Wade! It was Wade!" Ethan yells back. "You both are just a bunch of goofballs! No one did anything, Bob was trying to be a strong helpful boy and carry multiple boxes at once and it just seemed to be too much for him to carry so he fell." I said smiling. Mark shakes his head. "Only Bob." I chuckle a little bit. 'Only Bob," I repeated.

Once we finished unpacking my stuff and I reorganized my room, I go and chill with the boys. I sit next Mark and put my knees to my chest and wrapping my arms around them. Ethan, Bob, Wade, and Tyler talk about something stupid as Mark just listens in and laughs. He turns his head and looks at me. He put his arm around my shoulder and pulls me in. Kind of forcing me to cuddle him. Which I didn't mind at all, he was and still is my crush after all.

*Marks POV*

I wrap my arm around Y/N's shoulder and pull her in. I see her smile as she cuddles up next to me. My heart starts to beat fast. I start to space out a little bit. I think I'm in love with her...

"AWWWWWW" I hear, I look over and see that Wade is making kissy faces. My face turns red and I look down to see Y/N but she was fast asleep. "Shut up Wade!" I whisper yell, "She's sleeping!" Wade and the other three boys giggle trying not to laugh out loud. "Well, it is kind of getting late, I think it's better for us to go home to our girlfriends and wifes." Bob says teasingly. I roll my eyes and I look back down at Y/N. "See you guys later," I said softly. "See ya Mark," Tyler says. I watch them walk out to the front door. I start to relax a little bit knowing that I won't be messed with if I do anything to make Y/N comfortable or treat her as she was my girlfriend.

I think I might ask her. What would she say? I look down at her, she is peacefully sleeping between my body and my arm. So, I decide to pick her up and take her to her room. When I walk out of her room, I turn to see her. She turns her back towards me. I smile to myself.

It was the next day and I had woken up from my phone buzzing. I grab my phone and answer it. "Hello?" I said groggily. "Hey Mark!" It was bob. "Hey Bob, What's up?" "Nothing, just checking to see if you and Y/N were ok." "Oh yeah," I got up to go check on Y/N, "Me and Y/N are ok." I whispered and walked to the living room. "That's good to hear. I have a question though," "What's up?" "I think Y/N has a thing for you, I can see it in her eyes and the way she is around you. She seems to be very happy around you Mark. But I just want to know..." Bob pauses for a moment, "And I promise I'm not teasing you, but do you like Y/N?" I sigh a little bit, "I don't know Bob. I mean me and her just went through a breakup recently by different people and she's going through a lot right now with her ex-boyfriend. I just want to make sure she's ok before I go to far with her." "And that's ok Mark, you don't have to rush things with her. Make her feel loved, make her feel at home, and make her feel like there is nothing in the world that matters. Just take things slow." I smile, "Thanks Bob," "No problem, I'll talk to you later ok Mark?" "Ok, I'll talk to you later." I hung up the phone and sighed to myself.
