Marks POV
I'm not really sure why I said to Jacob that we should just stay friends, I guess I was just afraid to get hurt and I thought that was the best thing to do

BUT DAMN IS IT HARD, he looked so nice today and friends don't usually say "HOLY YOU LOOK HOT AS HELL" so it just kind of ended in a awkward nod and then I took off running saying that Weston needed help.

and then that boy has to just sit right in front of me and breakfast so I couldn't even look up I just stared and my stupid waffle the whole time.

It has only been 2 days since I friend zoned him and I'm already losing it.

Ariel said I should just date him already but I don't want to get hurt but I also don't want to go insane without him.

"Hey Mark"

OH NO I GOT TO GO. WHY DOES THIS WORLD HATE ME.

"Oh hey Jacob I have to go talk to my uh grandma about her dying cat, see ya soon"

"Um well tell your grandma I say hi?"

"OKAY" I said running down the hallway to marios room

"MARIOOOOOO" I yelled jumping on top of him

"Whatttt"

"I just talked to Jacob and I didn't want to say something stupid in front of him so I said I have to talk to my grandma about her dying cat"

"Oh my god just go talk to him, say you still like him and you want to restart your relationship because I am not dealing with this everyday and soon your going to run out of very bad excuses, like you just posted a photo of you and your grandmas cat a few days ago"

"Mario, you just didn't see the pain, sometimes your happy on the outside but dying on the inside"

"Yeah okay, talk to Jacob now" Mario said getting out of bed and dragging me to Jacobs room

He knocked on the door and Jacob opened it, and what did Mario do? Well he pushed Jacob right out of the way, then threw me into his hotel room

"okay SO I'm your relationship therapist right now so none of you are leaving until you work this okay, HAVE A GOOD DAY BYEEE"

Always count on Mario.

Don't look at the face, don't look at the face, not the face.

"Mark lift your head up"  Jacob walked over to me and lifted up my head

Crap.

"Heyyy buddy, my dude, my friend what's uppp"

"Yeah okay, so how are you"

Why is he hot and nice?! Someone kill me now

"Oh I'm fine, I'm over what happened with dom and I totally forgive you from the thing a few days ago."

"That's great, but Mark listen you know how now we're friends?"

I really don't like where this is going,

"You don't have to ignore me. Just because we're not... dating now doesn't mean that I don't care about you. I want to make sure that your alright."

I was about to say something until my phone rang "oh one sec" I said walking to the bathroom and closing the door

"Hey"

"Mario, I am very mad at you right now"

"Oh well but are you guys talking you guys kissing, oh no what if I interrupted something oh my god I'm so so sorry"

"No Mario your fine, we jut talking we're not dating we're just friends okay Mario?"

"Yeah okay, at least your talking, have fun bye and come out by 6 pm cause where getting food at that time"

"Okay bye" I said hanging up and seeing that the time was 5:30, okay 30 more minutes of talking to Jacob

I walked out and saw that Jacob was crying, I crouched down in front of him and put my hand on his knee and he looked up with some tears running down his face

"What's wrong?"

"You hate me, you hate me, I was so stupid and now you hate me" he said crying more

"No no no, I don't hate you" I said sitting next to his and slowly lifting him onto my lap and wrapping my arms around him

"I was just scared that I would get hurt again and it was just the heat of the moment, I was ignoring you because I know that if I looked at that face of yours I would totally melt and never let you go but I ignored you so I wouldn't do that and end up hurt in some way, Jacob I really love you"

He stopped playing with his finger and looked up, he quickly tackled me into a hug and then kissed me.

"Damn, I missed you" I said

"Me too"

"I was running out of excuses, once I almost said I had to go help Ariel pick out her new hamster"

"Wow Mark" Jacob said kissing my nose

"Okay well let's go eat now, I need food" I said looking at the time and seeing that it was 5:55

We walked out of the room and Mario was next to the door he saw how we were holding hands and smirked at me

"See I'm the best dang therapist ever" Mario said as we were walking to the elevator

"Yeah okay Mario, just say whatever makes you happy" I said patting him on the back

"Oh no thank you?"

"OH MY GOD MARIO THANK YOU SO MUCH I DONT KNOW WHAT I WOULD DO WITHOUT YOU" I said dramatically hugging him and falling down in the elevator

And I feel bad for that poor confused elderly woman who walked into the elevator to see me and Mario on the floor and Jacob laughing his ass off.
