*4 months later*

“What do you mean you can’t make it?! We’ve rescheduled 4 times Marcel?!”

“I’m sorry babe, it’ll just have to wait!”

“You know what. I don’t care. I’m over it.”

“Babe wait!”

I hung up the phone.

It’s been 2 months since Marcel did a One Direction music video. Things aren’t the same anymore. But I guess this is how things are going to be. And I understand that. I knew that Marcel would get more attention… and who could blame him? He’s amazing.

He’s been gone a lot. I’ve only seen him once since he got done with the video. He keeps on telling me that he’ll be back. And that when he gets here we’ll go out and celebrate. But we never did… I really don’t want to lose him… I’m thinking too much… and being selfish. I should just stop. Maybe things are going a little too fast…

I keep on thinking about how he asked me to marry him. I wonder if he was serious. We haven’t spoken of it since that night. Maybe he was just caught in the moment? I hope he wasn’t. I love him so much. Marcel and Mary Jane Styles… thinking about it makes me smile.

I walked to the sofa and just sat there. I turned on the TV but I wasn’t paying attention to what was on. Suddenly there was a knock at the door.

“Mary?”

“Edward, what are you doing here?”

“Oh, um... well… I just got sick of being in the house all alone…”

“Oh… so..?”

“Well Marcel’s gone and… so is Harry… I was wondering if maybe you and I could hang out here?”

“Edward… I don’t think that would be a good idea…I thought you hated me.”

“Ha… I don’t hate you…”

He rubbed his neck.

“I’m sorry. It was probably a bad idea to come here.” He said

“No… its fine… we can hang out I guess.”

He smiled and came inside.

It was a rainy day. Edward and I spent it indoors. We didn’t do much. He cracked some jokes and we laughed together. We listened to some music and... it was fun. Things felt normal and friendly… but then… Edward started singing… His head went up and his neck tightened as he hit a high note. I stared at him.

He sang sweetly, holding his phone close to his head. His voice was pleasant. And for some reason it gave me comfort. Despite the way he looks, with all his tattoos and piercings. His voice suddenly made him 10 times more attractive.

“Edward?” I said while staring at him in shock

He looked at me

“You can sing?” I asked

“Ah… I don’t know can I?”

“Um. Yes. You can.”

He laughed

And I was stunned

“Do you all sing?”

“Well, we all like to sing… but the only one with the real passion for it is Harry”

“Oh… Marcel? He sings too?”

“Ha… yeah, he sings.”

I smiled

“Do you love Marcel?”

All of a sudden the room went serious

“More than anything.”

He got up and walked slowly to the door

“Well… that’s too bad…” He winked and reached for the door “I’ll see you later.”

He walked out.

After he left I took a nap. A phone call woke me up. It was Marcel.

“Hello?”

“Mary. I’m sorry. I’ll be home soon please don’t be angry at me.”

“Marcel, its fine, I understand. I’m sorry for overreacting earlier.”

“I’ve been missing you terribly. I promise I’ll be back tomorrow” he said softly

I smiled to myself

“I miss you too, and I can’t wait to see you”

“Alright well I’ve got to go. See you tomorrow sweetheart.”

I hung up the phone and daydreamed about Marcel finally being here with me.
