Marco stared the once full room of things that floated and made noises. Tears welled in his eyes and he tried to wipe them away, but they kept coming. It was to hard to process what had just happened and now she was gone.
Star Butterfly, a magical princess from another dimension, his best friend, had just left Earth. And she just revealed a major secret that no one knew about, unless people already expected.
Which they did. That was just a confirmation.
He ignored the sounds of people downstairs and dropped to his knees. There was know a puddle of Marco's tears on the ground.
"Dude... are you okay?"
That was Janna behind him with Jackie, Pony Head, Kelly, Starfan13, Ferguson, and Alfonso. He started to wonder when he gathered so many friends in the short span Star was here.
"What do you think?"
"Well, you're on the ground crying like a lunatic-"
Before Janna could finish her sentence, Marco jumped to his feet and grabbed the front of her shirt, pushing her into the wall with a huge boom that shook the house. There was deep surprise in his friends eyes. That was not the Marco Diaz who had just chased his bestie upstairs.
There was stomping up the stairs as Mr. and Mrs. Diaz came to see what the commotion was about, the whole party following them. They all gasped when they saw Star's former room and the puddle of tears in front of it. Everyone then moved their eyes to the sight of Marco holding Janna up to the wall with clenched teeth and angry eyes, hungry for answers.
"SHUT UP!"Marco dropped Janna on the ground who coughed in surprise.
"DID YOU GUYS KNOW SHE HAD A CRUSH ON ME?! Marco yelled to the crowd. Justin shrugged.
"It was kinda obvious, bro."
Everyone nodded, all except Jackie who was in the most surprise. Her green eyes were wide in shock of what Star revealed.
Marco pulled his soft, brown hair in every direction before leaning on the wall. He slowly slid to the ground where he took out his phone and looked through his gallery. There, he found pictures of him and Star, hugging and taking selfies, or to as Star referred, usies.
He smiled at the memory when he saw the picture of him and Star hugging in front of the mall with newly bought Christmas clothes on.
Marco wore a red and white hoodie, the white resembling snow and the red filling in the empty parts. White covered his sleeves and slowly disappeared into red. His shoes were green with red and white shoelaces. His pants white and red.
Star wore a red dress with a cotton bottom. The dress was short-sleeved and had cotton on the edges of her sleeves. She wore a bright green and white Christmas hat with long, black gloves that went all the way up to her sleeve. A black belt with a buckle of gold sat in the middle. Her long, black leggings ended in a pair of green boots.
Was it that obvious? Marco asked himself. Was I that oblivious? He frowned as he realized that the picture made it look like they were a couple. All of the pictures did.
And they took up most of the memory on his phone.
Marco folded his arms onto his knees and put his face in the little hole it made. He cried, not caring about all the people looking at him. Their gazes full of concern.
His tears puddled as he stood up and walked to his room, Jackie chasing after him. She put a hand on his shoulder.
"Marco, are you okay? It's going to be okay. I'm sure she's fine-"
Marco slapped the hand off his shoulder. Everyone gasped at his movement. His face had tears flowing down them, but his eyes told a different story. There was a fire in those eyes. And that fire was determined and angry.
"I DON'T WANT YOUR COMFORT."Jackie jumped back in surprise. Marco took a deep breath and said words that shocked everyone.
"Jackie, I am breaking up with you."
~GASP~Tears flowed from Jackie's eyes, hurt and pain in them. "Why?"
"You don't get it. NO! IT'S NOT GOING TO BE OKAY! You are just saying that so I don't go after her."
"You can't go after her!"
"That you have wrong." Marco replied curtly. "You know nothing of what I've done with my Best friend. We explored dimensions together, fought monsters together!"
Jackie stepped back as Marco angrily advanced on her.
"YOU KNOW NOTHING OF THE SORT. SO STOP TRYING TO COMFORT ME! 'CAUSE GUESS WHAT, EX? I'M GOING AFTER HER WETHER YOU IDOITS LIKE IT OR NOT!"Jackie fell to the ground in surprise and hurt. Janna and her friends ran over to her after watching Marco stomp into his room.
"What the..."
Janna helped Jackie up. "Are you good?"
"No... Marco just broke up with me and yelled at me when I tried to comfort him!" Jackie whispered in a shaky voice. "He is going crazy just because Star left!"
"Well yeah, he wants answers and His best friend did just leave him forever on a real-life cliffhanger. "
"Ugh, that isn't helping, Janna."
"Sorry."
Marco lay on his bed. He pulled a pair of scissors from under his pillow and looked at the design. It was his Dimensional Scissors. And he thought again about how he should use them quickly. He wanted to see Star as quick as possible, get some answers. Rethink this love triangle situation.
"URGH! THINK MARCO THINK!"
Marco smacked his nightstand hard. He quickly yanked his hand back to examine the wound, ignoring the noise outside his door.
Something fell from his drawer. A picture.
He picked it up and cried when he saw it. It was the first time he made nachos for Star. She was eating the nacho hungrily while he took the usie. He was smiling while Star was grinning, still munching on the chip.
He flashed back to the time.
"Marcooooo! Whatcha makin'?"
Asked a curious Star.
"Only the best food ever. Nachos!"
"Mmmm! Earth food! What're nachos?"
A chip with beef and cheese, and jalapenos!"
"Awesome!"Star picked up a jalapeno and put it in her mouth. She jumped at it's spice."EEEE! IT'S SPICY!"
"Ha! It's a pepper."
"Ohhh..."
Marco opened the crockpot on the counter and poured it over a large bowl of triangle chips. It smelt delicious."Mmmmm! Smells yummy!"
"It is too!"
Marco placed the bowl on the counter and waited until it cooled off. With a smile, he watched as Star yanked a nacho from the bowl excitedly. She stuffed it in her mouth.
"Thish iws dewishous!"
"Let's take an usie, so I can laugh at your face again later."
"Oway!"
Marco picked his phone as Star picked up another nacho. Wrapping an arm around her shoulder, he smiled. Star wrapped her free arm around his body and hugged. While she smiled and busily are he chip at once, Marco clicked the picture icon on his phone, making a memory.
Who knew that memory would make him cry? Marco let tears soak his pillow. He wiped them away and jumped out of the bed.
Everyone outside jumped at the sudden sound. Marco then cut open a portal as the door slowly creaked open, eyes looking through to find a determined Marco. They gasped as he was about to step through the cut.
He looked at them, a fire of determination in his eyes.
"You all know what I'm about to do."
Justin ran in and lifted his arms. "STARCO!"
Marco raised on eyebrow and shrugged before realizing something. Star-CO. Oh... They combined our names...He felt a red tint on his face as Justin put up a thumb for good luck, everyone else following his motion. Even Jackie who still looks hurt.
Mrs. Diaz ran in and gave him a hug. "Bring Star back in one piece, Marco." She muttered into his shoulder. Releasing the boy, she gave him a kiss on the head.
Marco hugged his dad who burst through the door and grabbed him.
"I'll be back with answers and Star," he cried as he jumped through the portal. The portal closed and silence overtook the house.
"Be safe," Mrs. Diaz whispered.
