we are one (2)
chapter five
Nicky was getting really worried. Neither of them had come back. Nicky decided to try Mark's mobile. To his luck it was one. But it rang and rang. Soon and solemn hello was greeted to Nicky.
"Mark, where are you, what happened, what’s wrong????" Nicky blurted out.
"Everything" Mark said through his tears and anger.
"Right tell me were you are. I’m going to come and met you." Nicky said hurried. He was sure that Mark was upset and probably angry. But he had to find out what happened, was he okay, were she was and is she okay. He knew he was the only one that Mark would talk to about this.
Mark told Nicky where he was and Nicky grab his stuff, left a note for the guys and head off to find Mark.
Soon enough Nicky came across a slumped figure of Mark "oh man" he thought to himself.
"Hey" Nicky said to Mark. He put a gentle hand on his friend's shoulder.
Mark looked up at Nicky. He could see that Mark was crying. He sat beside his mate and put a comforting arm around him.
"It all went so wrong" Mark suddenly said.
Mark explained everything to Nicky. Nicky felt bad as he had known how she had felt, and this could of all be avoided. He hated seeing anyone he cared for in so much pain.
"I have to tell you something Mark" Nicky said. "I never got to tell you this earlier. I feel that this is all my fault."
"What, what is it" Mark pushed.
"When her and I went for that walk this afternoon, and we talked about you and her." Nicky stopped and looked at Mark. His eyes were fixed on Nicky.
"And?" Mark pushed.
"And…. She told me how she felt about you, your relationship and all."
"So what did she say, come on Nic I have to know" Mark pleaded with Nicky.
"Okay… she said that she wanted you back and that she loved you." Nicky said in on breath.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" Mark yelled, getting up and walk a few steps away from where they sat.
"Hey man I’m sorry, its my fault I should of…"
"No, Nicky it's not your fault. Neither of us knew. " Mark said to Nicky
"But thank you mate, thank you for being honest. It means a lot." Mark said giving his mate a friendly hug.
"What do I do now" Mark said changing the subject.
"Where did she go?" Nicky questioned.
"She didn’t say, just that she needed to be alone and that she would be okay."
"Lets just hope that she is then" Nicky said a little wary.
"You have to go find her and talk to her." Nicky said honestly.
"But I can’t, not now I have hurt her to much" Mark added quietly.
"Let me talk to her then" Nicky suggested.
"Do you mean it" Mark said looking deeply at his friend.
"Of course, I’d do anything to see you two happy" Nicky said
"Thanks mate, how can I ever thank you?" Mark asked.
"Just never let her go and don’t you ever hurt her" Nicky said lightly
"Never, she is my world, my soul mate, I can’t live without her by my side, I’d die for her…." Mark tailed off shyly.
"Okay I get the idea" Nicky said jokingly to Mark, just as Mark turns a shade of pink.
"Let's go home and I’ll go see her in the morning, it's too late now okay?" Nicky suggested.
"Sure" Mark said as they both started to walk off.
"Hey Nicky"
"Yeah"
"Thanks man" Mark said.
"No worries, anytime, that’s what mates are for" Nicky replied putting his arm over Marks shoulder.
