REVISED (4/25/19): Chapter is now a bit smoother to read. Fixed some of the lines, replaced and added some. Also added more dialogue to the flashback. No, I won't change the A/N for the new readers.
Hey guys Crazyman here with a new story.
Although my other fanfic is focused on more focused on the OC rather than the actual characters, I made sure that everyone I use in this story was and will be seen from the show. (Except characters from season 3 or maybe the characters from the second part of season 2. SVTFOE doesn't air that much in the Philippines.)
Disclaimer: Star vs. The Forces of Evil belongs to Daron Nefcy.
Story is mine though.
Story Title: One More Shot
Rating: T
Genre: Angst/Romance
Summary: "I love you." Were the last words she had ever said after running away from him. These words and her disappearance left him heartbroken. Saddened by his emptiness in his heart, his life deteriorates. Little does he know that a certain forger was willing to give him another chance to turn back time.
Heartbreak From Three Years Ago.
Marco Diaz. A boy who was extremely cautious of his surroundings. A boy who never ever broke the rules, A boy who always cleans up everything when there was a mess. Was now heartbroken by a girl he loved so much. The girl that changed his vision, his feelings, and his life! This girl was none other than his best friend...
Star Butterfly.
A woman that was the complete opposite of Marco Diaz. She was always carefree. She always wanted to make new friends with others. She always broke the rules. Marco knew for a fact that he wasn't going to fall in love with her. Because he disliked her ways, her sense of danger, and her love for action.
He was wrong - to an extent.
Because somehow, just somehow, she managed to capture his heart. His life changed when she got a hold of his heart. He loved adventure, he encountered danger at every moment, and for the first time ever; he felt like he was finally acknowledged. All because of her.
But every good thing that happens to life always come with a painful end.
They got separated...
Marco's heart wasn't able to bear the news when he knew about this. It's not that her parents hated Earth, it's not because of some problem she caused, it's not because she wanted to go away; but it was something else. Was it because she got fed up of him? it wasn't possible since she liked the way he protected her. Did he do something wrong? Not likely, since he was the type of person to play it safe. Then what did he do wrong?
He had no idea. Not even the slightest clue.
As time passed, he felt emptiness consume his heart. He searched for answers on why she left, but nothing valuable came up. Not finding answers left him broken even more. He gave up three years ago, but still wanted some answers to keep his curiosity content. The sudden withdrawal of a girl, made a good,kind, and wholehearted man...broken and depressed.
Even though three years have passed. The boy felt like it was three hours ago.
- Three Years Earlier -
Marco Diaz was walking into his house. Filled with glee because he wanted to give Star something she wanted for a long time. Something he vowed to get for her.
A necklace, a beautifully made one as well.
She saw it while they were walking around town. She said that the heart necklace is what she was going to use for her remembrance in Earth. It was quite expensive, but that didn't stop him. He saved up little by little just to buy this gift for his best friend. He wanted to make sure that she was the happiest foreign exchange student she can be.
Although, he would admit there was another reason for him getting the necklace. And it was not to only make her happy.
He walked up the stairs, and went to her bedroom door. He knocked three times, "Star? Can I come in?" He realized that the door wasn't locked. He turned the knob and opened it. The scene that unfolded put him in shock.
The girl he wanted to feel like she was over the moon...
Was crying in despair.
Marco immediately went to her so he could comfort her. She was bawling her eyes out! As tears fell on the ground, he noticed a puddle beneath her, it seems that she was crying for sometime.
"Star! Are you okay?! Tell me what's wrong!" Marco asked in brief panic, only to be responded with a hug from Star. She did it as tight as possible. She cried on his shoulder, mumbling about something. As Marco got even more confused, he then saw something that shocked him even more.
Her room was clean, she had multiple bags next to her, everything was packed in it. The place was practically yelling "Departure!" in his ears. The thing he feared the most, was now happening. Star was going away from his life. He was about to ask questions, but the scene in front of him left him dumbstruck - too shocked to even speak to her.
Star had let go of him. She looked at him with tears flowing from her eyes to her cheeks. Her eyes were red as well. Those bright pink hearts on her cheeks when she was happy, were all replaced by shattered ones. She tried to smile to give him comfort, just tried.
But that smile, those Forced movement of lips, broke his heart even more.
He knew that she was not okay. He can tell from the tears. But she was desperate in hiding it. Water was starting to form in Marco's eyes as well. He just knew that she was going to be gone forever. As the tears on his face fall down in empathy, he embraced her. This time, it was longer...and much more agonizing than the last one. Their warm bodies was the only thing keeping them from the cold, hard, and hopeless breaking down of their hearts.
Star had once again released him. She looked at his eyes once more before smiling in content. Unlike the previous one, this smile was honest, heartwarming, and happy. Just then she had done something that would forever leave the boy heartbroken for the next three years...
She kissed him.
The boy was shocked, but he pulled into her after some moments. The warmth of their bodies and lips was keeping their cold sadness from breaking them. As a few more passionate seconds passed, they had let go of each other. They were slightly blushing from their actions, they never did that before. And now when she's about to leave, that's when they did it. Marco knew it was going to be Hell after she left,
but that kiss...worth it.
Star got up from her bed and got her bags from the floor. Tears was yet again flowing in her eyes. She was about to leave. The one girl he truly loved; was about to leave. She walked right next to the door. She looked down at the floor, eyes full of pain and shame. It was silent. Dead silent. Star stared at him, like she had something to say. Her lips were shaking. Her body was shaking. He looked at her as she composed herself a few moments after.
"Before I-I leave Marco." She said in a hoarse voice.
"Wh-what?" He wiped his tears from his red eyes.
"I-I just w-want you to know that..." She prolonged. He waited for her answer. "...I love you."
After she said her final words to him, she ran outside the door. Marco was left in her room, deep in thought. He was thinking whether he should confess to her or not. After a few minutes, something suddenly hit him. He found out that he didn't give the ring he was supposed to give to her.
Rushing down the stairs, he jumped down. He then powered through the door, forcing it open. As he made his way outside, he saw a large chariot with his best friend in it. It was moving quickly, gathering space between her and the boy. Marco ran as fast as he can, not quite catching up to the chariot.
"No! I can't-" As a last resort, he threw the ring into the vehicle.
He didn't care if he hadn't given it personally. But he wanted something to give to her just so that she could remember him. As the ring flew in the air, the chariot was halfway inside the portal. The ring almost got in. It hit the side and fell on the ground. Marco rushed to get the ring. Once he got the ring, he looked to where the portal was, it had disappeared.
His efforts; wasted. His love; gone.
Marco fell down on his knees, sighing in defeat. Tears fell on his eyes, dropping to the rough ground. He was too late. There was nothing he was able to do now. He didn't have her mirror that contact other dimensions. She didn't have any photos to remember him by. And lastly, he didn't have any Dimensional Scissors to teleport to Mewni. These items he needed to get to Star wasn't what made him sad.
The thing that broke his heart the most is that he didn't notice that she LOVED him.
"Why? Why was I too slow?" He gritted his teeth as more tears fell down. "Why didn't I notice it? Why wasn't I able to catch up? Why...why did she leave me?"
More questions like these had started to fill his mind. As he tried to find answers, he desperately did everything to get his answers. He tried asking his friends and family, to which they replied "We didn't know she was going away." Not finding answers, he eventually gave up. But even if he had stopped looking for reasons of her disappearance, he still wanted to get some solution from his problems.
He was left broken and depressed, knowing that he wouldn't be with the one who loved him ever again. No one can fix him. No one can help him. He was alone.
All alone...
Hey guys thanks for reading this chapter.
As most of you know about me, I tend to either post something to early or too late. This (The story) is not one of them. Although it was kinda short, I didn't want an entire novel squeezed in one chapter. This is one of those times where I just want to do the introduction before doing the actual story.
There are two things I would want to classify before leaving:
1. There will be limited or no OC (Original Characters) in this story.
I didn't input an OC in this one. Reason No. 1: I wouldn't want a character that's super unlikable to steal the spotlight. Reason No. 2: an OC would heavily change the flow of the story, I also don't want that since I am 'experimenting' the angst and romance section of the genres.
2. Marco (And Marco only) would mostly be Out Of Character(OOC).
It's going to be self-explanatory once I finish doing the second chapter.
Anyways, please leave a review to alert me if I had done any current mistakes. You can also review if you just want to compliment, complain, or recommend something about the story.
Crazyman out.
