Can I Ever Really Love You

Mark and I

Chapter 71

So I guess me and Mark are an item now. Jenni likes to say that because she remembers what she did and she feels like shit. She said it meant nothing and I believe her. I cant believe it I have a hottie boyfriend and I’m happy again. I think I’m starting to like Mark more than I should. But its ok now that my dads gone. I left around noon to go to the radio station to do my job. I got there and was told about another band I was gonna interview since I did really good on the Hinder interview. They told me it was gonna be The Used. I was excited just cause I have there first cd and it’s the bomb. I did my shift and then went home. Everyone was gone.

“Hey were is everyone” I asked Jenni
“Oh they went home cause they had to do something” Jenni said
“Oh ok well guess what” I said happily
“What” she said
“Ok well there are actually 2 things that I need to tell you” I said
“Ok spill”
“Okay first I get to interview The Used next week” I said happily
“Omg Sarah you have to introduce me to Bert you know how much I love him.” she said
“Um… no I don’t think so do you know what you did with the lead singer of the band I just interviewed” I said
“I wont do that this time I promise and plus do you think I would really leave Johnny for someone else” she said
“If ya was a gold digga” I said laughing
“Well it’s a good thing I’m not” she said
“yea really good”
“Ok what is the 2nd thing”
“oh me and Mark are going out” I said
“As of when” she asked
“This morning”
“Why didn’t you tell me earlier”
“Cause when I left you were in your room and the door was closed so I thought you and Johnny were… you know”
“Sarah I’ll put something on the door so you know when were doing it and not ok”
“Ok sounds good”
“Ok so have you guys fucked yet”
“No we were gonna 2 nights ago but I thought of…… someone and I couldn’t do it”
“Who did you think of when you were about to have sex?” she asked and I gave her a look like please don’t make me say it.
“Oh him wow so do you still have feelings for him?”
“No I don’t I hate his guts. Wouldn’t you if he did to you what he did to me”
“Well yea but I wouldn’t have moved out of town… cause you loved him Sarah and you know it…… I know you didn’t want to leave but you did cause you thought it was the best thing to do when actually it would have been better if you stayed in New Jersey.” Jenni said
“Jenni he yelled at me he never yells at me. What’s the next thing he hits me” I said pissed. I started to have flashbacks of all the times that were good with us and I hated it. Then I thought of him cheating on me and it made all the good flashbacks go away. I know he never cheated on me but it made me not think of him in good ways anymore.
“Sarah are you ok”
“No I hate you Jenni you had to bring Frank up more than he needed to be. I have to go now” I said and walked out of the house. I walked over to Cody’s house.

“Hey Cody is it ok if I hang out over here for awhile” I said
“Yea that’s cool what’s wrong” he asked
“Oh me and Jenni just started fighting over my past and now I’m mad at her” I said
“You hate your past?”
“Hell yea I’m trying to forget it”
“Oh … well to make you happy I heard about you and Mark today”
“Oh yea he told you”
“Yea he was really happy you said yes to him he thought since he only has know you for 3 days you would say no”
“ I like him a lot he’s really sweet and he helps me through things” I said
“Yea well why don’t you go over to his house he’s there he doesn’t want to seem like an obsessive boyfriend”
“Um ok thanks for the little chat” I said smiling
“Hey at least your happy now”
“Yea thanks” I said and hugged him and left. I walked over to Marks and knocked on the door.

“Hey Sarah” Mark said and kissed me
“Hey what if it wasn’t me and it was another chick… like a fan” I said
“I knew it was you cause Cody called and told me you were on your way here and I looked through the peak hole” he said smiling
“Oh my boyfriends sly now isn’t he” I said smiling at him
“Yes I am” he said and kissed me again. “Come on in”
“Thanks” I said and we walked into his living room and we sat down and watched TV for a little while.
