Glad You Came by Imani Kateee (ebook reader web .TXT) 📕

of English I’ve ever experienced and the bell finally rings. I’m the first one out and I stand outside class. Marcus eventually walks out and grabs my hand and pulls me along, not in an aggressive way but in a way that he doesn’t want anyone to see us talking. He pulls me into one of the music rooms and explains everything to me. ‘I didn’t want to hurt you in any way, nor did I want to hurt your relationship with James’

‘I didn’t realize I was still with James’ I start. ‘I know’ he says ‘I know you didn’t realize, but you shouldn’t have gotten with me in the first place. So I’m going to give you a decision, stay with me or ask James for a second chance, I’ll be there for you no matter what choice you make.’ I couldn’t believe it. James was telling me to get with Marcus and Marcus was telling me to get with James. This is unbelievable.

‘I’m staying with you. I don’t care how bad it gets’ but then I think. Maybe I’m in over my head. But I know I’m not. I walk out of the music room with Marcus and we bump into James and his friends. One of his friends pulled Marcus back and punches him in the stomach. I look and James and he pulls his phone out and starts filming. James’ friend keep going and Marcus fights back, only for James to film his friend getting beaten up by Marcus. Half of year 9 was surrounded by James’ friend now and Marcus runs out of the circle, his bag half on his back and his shirt ripped. I run after him and Brooklyn runs after me and eventually catches up with me. We walk around the corner and look down the halls. No Marcus. We run around the whole school and still don’t see any Marcus. He doesn’t show up to second period either. Brooklyn texts me halfway through class ‘We’ll find him, don’t worry Xx’. Is it obvious I'm that scared?

Chapter 6: It's Only The End Of Year 10

 

I run out of class as soon as the bells rings, Brooklyn running after me. We run to the one place we didn’t look before, the underneath room in the main stairs to the entrance of the school. I run as quick as I can and I lose Brooklyn. I remember Brooklyn and I talking to Marcus about this room when we were showing him around. I open the door and see Marcus sitting there, looking the same as when he ran off. He looks at me and gets up. ‘You can’t be here’ he starts ‘I don’t want you to get hurt. I need you to leave’ I can’t believe him. ‘What are you doing this time that’s going to get you hurt?’ He looks at me with his cute smile and tells me not to worry. Even with blood and cuts all over his face he’s still the cutest boy alive. I leave and I go to find James. I eventually find James and ask him if he’s planning to give Marcus more shit. He said he hadn’t talked to Marcus since he ran off and hid. I start walking and James catches up to me. He pulls me back and says ‘I hope we can still be friends.’ Friends? ‘You broke my heart, what makes you think I want to be friends with you.’ And I walked off. I went back down to where Marcus was except this time there was no Marcus. I found a note. “I’m sorry Charlotte, I had to leave. You don’t deserve to be treated like this. You deserve to be with someone forever. I have to leave but I’ll be back. I’ll call you when I’m ready. I love you so much and I’ll see you soon Xxxx” I’m shocked. I couldn’t believe it. I break out in tears right there and I fall to the floor. I cry more and more. Brooklyn eventually finds me and I show him the note. He reads it and gives me a big hug. ‘We have to go after him. Whether he likes it or not.’ I think about this. This could go amazingly well or shit. ‘I need to call him first, make sure he’s ok.’ I pull out my phone and there is notifications from every app ‘Missed call from Marcus Farge’ on messenger and skype ‘Missed Call: Marcus Bæ
