A/N- This is the start of my Starco alphabet series, this series will be filled with one-shots and drabbles, some fluffy, some sad. I'll be trying to get them out weekly for you, if not sooner. Please note that these are one-shots and, unless I reference them in a later chapter, the events prior to the current chapter did not happen. All of these will stay in the K-T range, with the T only being for violence. Please read and review, follow and favourite, and most importantly enjoy this wild Starco roller coaster that I wish to take you all on!
A- Apology
Star's POV
"Star! Star! Guess what just happened to me?!" Marco screamed from down the hallway as I was trying to pick a dress out for the dance. Before I could answer he was stood in my room with the biggest grin plastered on his face. I loved seeing him so happy, he looked so cute.
"What? Did you find a cute cat, if so lemme see!" I answered back to him, but judging by the look on his face it was something much bigger than a cute cat.
"Nonono. Jackie Lynn Thomas just asked ME to the DANCE!" he squealed with excitement. I felt my heart sink to my stomach, and I looked back down at my dress again.
"That's awesome Marco, you two should have lots of fun together." I replied, with as much enthusiasm and encouragement I could muster up. I put the dress back on the rack and went to sit on my bed, hoping Marco would just leave.
"Are you ok?" he asked, I gave a small smile, wishing he would have left it.
"Yeah I'm fine, you should go make sure your outfit is ready." I lied. I didn't want to go to the dance anymore, not if it wasn't with Marco. He had asked me earlier to go with him, as he didn't want to go alone. I knew I was a last resort anyway so I don't know why I was so upset that he ditched the moment Jackie asked him.
"Oh, I just remembered, I asked you to go with me earlier. It is ok that I go with Jackie, right? I don't want to go with her if it's going to upset you." he replied, clearly noticing what was wrong.
"Yeah of course, it's totally cool. Why would that upset me? I mean you only asked me because you didn't want to go alone anyway so it's totally, completely fine that you're ditching me to go with Jackie." I blurted out. I didn't mean to, but I did.
"Star," Marco sighed. "I'm sorry, I really didn't think this through."
"Just go. Go have fun with Jackie." I said, turning away from him as tears brimmed so he couldn't see.
"Star, we can still go, I'll just tell Jackie I already had a date to the dance." he said, coming closer to my bed to try and comfort me.
"I said just get out!" I snapped, turning to him so he could see the tears spilling from my eyes. He said nothing and left, and a wave of guilt came over me. I knew I shouldn't have snapped, but I couldn't help it. All he ever talks about is Jackie and for a while now I've been feeling like I'm slowly being replaced. I guess this is just the cherry on top of the cake. I lay there for a while crying until I heard a knock on the door. Assuming it was Jackie I ignored it, but then I heard his voice. It was Tom. I sighed and rolled my eyes, not wanting to be bothered. Then I thought of the perfect way to get Marco back. I skipped happily down the stairs and greeted Tom at the door. "Hey, Tom. There's a dance at my school, wanna go?"
"I'd love to." Tom replied.
"Cool, just let me get changed." I said walking up the stairs to my room. As I walked past Marco's room an arm reached out and dragged me in, making me jump and scream a little.
"It's just me," Marco assured me as I moved away to stand in front of him. "I know you're mad at me Star but don't go to the dance with demon ex-boyfriend Tom. That's just an accident waiting to happen. I'm really sorry, ok? Please forgive me."
"What so you're allowed to choose to go with someone else, but as soon as I choose to go with someone else you don't want me to. I don't get you sometimes, what is wrong with you! You're perfectly happy to go around breaking my heart, but as soon as I want to be happy elsewhere you want to destroy that too." I couldn't hold back this time, and I yelled, tears streaming down my face. He took a step closer and put his arms around me. Part of my wanted to shake him off, but the other part desperately wanted to hug him back. I did neither, instead I stood there, arms by my side, as he hugged me. "Star, I'm really sorry. I never thought about how all of this might make you feel like you're being replaced. I don't even want to go to the stupid dance anymore. It all seems so meaningless if I have to go and know you're miserable. Please forgive me Star." he paused pulling away from the hug. "I'll make you nacho's and we can stay in and watch movies. Does that sound good?" I didn't answer him with words. Instead, I pulled him in tight for a hug, burying my face in his neck, and relishing in the feeling of his arms wrapped around me. "I'm sorry." he muttered again.
