Started with a cookie... Marcus and Martinus

Part 8: Telling her

Maria's pov/

As a songwriter, I know that it's so hard to come up with lyrics if you don't know the person that will sing them.

I have always written songs for myself. I have never tried doing it for others.

My songs are usually sad and deep, because that's who I am. But I can't write with the same style for Martinus. Maybe he's cheerful and fun, but I doubt it.

Ever since I met him, and that means 4 hours ago, he seemed really sad and not concentrating. And that phone call with Marcus made me more sure that he definitely needs some help, not only with his career, but emotionally too. I know that Marcus isn't helping him, but that's not all! Martinus is suffering and I should help him, even though I know it will be hard because i'm as desperate as he is.

When I asked him to tell me more about himself, he first drowned with his own thoughts, but minutes later, he decided to talk:

"It all started last month. Marcus and I  had a concert in Sweden and like any other concert, we had really fun singing to our beloved fans, dancing and just making our MMers and ourselves happy.

After the concert, some fans came backstage and took a bunch of photos with us. That's totally normal that happens like almost every concert. But guess what? When I was searching for Marcus to took one last picture with our fans, I didn't find him. The fans were waiting and I had to go to figure out where he went. Shortly, I wasn't able to find him. The picture was taken without him and when I called him, he didn't answer.

When I got back home, I saw him laying on the couch. I thought he was sick, so that made me less angry because there was a reason behind him disappearing. But unusually, I was wrong. He had his earphones and he was talking to his friends about a video game and they were laughing. That's why he left early, his non-sense couldn't wait!

Last week, while we were singing "together" on stage, he messed up the lyrics and ended up looking like a complete fool. So rumors started to spread, everyone was thinking that Marcus and I aren't talking to each other because we haven't been spending much time together, and they thought he messed up the words on purpose because he doesn't agree with the song anymore and is forgetting his twin!

I know what you're saying, that's weird! But it's social media we can do nothing about it.

So to break the ice between our fans and us, I thought we need to write a new song so they can see that we are still working together and that the rumours are wrong. But what a surprise! (Sarcastically) Marcus was on his computer playing video games and he totally refused to help me.

You see I have to do everything. Slowly we are losing everything we have ever dreamed of, and he doesn't even bother himself to care. I feel he doesn't even want to sing anymore. I can't let him destroy his life, our life.

What should I do? I have no idea! I'm weak! I'm nothing! "

The way his voice was wavering while saying the last part made me realize that he was going to cry. To avoid that, I pulled him into a hug.

We both need each other right now. Our life is falling apart, but I know if we support each other, we'll make it!

Martinus thinks he made a bad impression of himself because he cried, however, this showed me that he is brave, brave enough to share his story with a girl he just met.

Unfortunately, I'm not as brave as he is. I can't tell him about my misery, about me leaving Trofors because I'm not strong enough to handle all this hate.

I think that gives me a great idea for Martinus' song...

Guys Marcus and Martinus have just liked and reposted my edit on their storyyyy omggg!! It's about my country "Lebanon" and I'm so happy because they noticed us!!
