SolidJJ: Thank you

Crow's Apprentice: He's going through somethings


Last time Marco was trying to clear his mind when an unexpected encounter with an ex-girlfriend made Marco do something he deeply regretted.

Marco was laying on the roof of the building that housed Janna and her fight club and was the temporary home of the foreign exchange student Star Butterfly; he stared at the clouds while flashes of his crime, plagued his mind.

"Damn it, Damn it! Why why can't I just…" He then slammed his fist and covered his eyes. "It's all I think about why can't I just forget!" He shouted.

"Maybe you don't want to forget." Marco then sat up and looked around who's there!" He said just then everything around him turned black not could be seen but a little light as the light grew it to a person that looked like himself, but he only had a red hoodie and his hair was straight, and he just looked average.

"Who are you?" Marco asked

"Well I'm you, the old you, the one you keep locked away." He said as he got closer to him.

"Stay away from me! Why are you here?" He barked the other Marco place a hand on his shoulder.

"Simple I'm here because you want me here, you have been so caught up being a bad boy that you locked up your most of your emotions, but when you raped Jackie I couldn't just watch anymore, You need to be yourself, Marco, you need to be normal…" The other Marco's voice echoed as he faded away. Marco's eyes shot open as he found himself in bed he looked around and saw that he was in his room he sat up and looked around.

"It was just a dream but…"

"Oh good your awake." Marco looked over and saw Star reading her spell book. "I found you on the roof sleeping, so I brought you down." She said.

"Thanks, Star." He said looking away from her, she then made her way towards him and sat next to him.

"Star… I." Star then placed a finger on his lips.

"It's okay; I know you're still contemplating about earlier, but you should be aware I'm here for you." She said as she hugged him. Marco then hugged back.

"Star, thank you for being my friend." He said which surprised Star. She, in turn, hug him tighter.

"C'mon I got dinner ready." She said the two the left the room and found that Janna had already eaten a good portion of it.

"Damn Star, you can cook." She said

"Janna that was for all of us." Star informed

"Well sorry, but when you burn as many calories as I do, you need the energy." She said

"Great now what are we going to eat." Marco said.

"Don't worry I got ya covered I ordered a Pizza two minutes ago." She informed just then there was banging on the door.

"Huh, that was fast, I gotta say you Pizza boys …" She was then shocked to see a police officer.

"Ma'am care to inform us why there is an illegal fight club here?" He asked

"Uh…." Janna then slammed the door and locked it.

"We gotta get out of here!" Janna said.

"Why?" Star asked

"It's the fuzz we need to get out." She said as she pulled up the carpet and revealed a secret tunnel. "Come on we gotta run." Janna said.

"But we can't run from the authorities it not right." Star said

"Star now's not the time for the good girl thing we need to go like now." Janna said as she pushed her down the tunnel and followed Marco then hid the opening as he got in and followed Janna ad Star.

"So where are we going?" He asked

"My place where else, Diaz." She said

"But why?" Marco asked

"Because my parents are total survivor freaks, they made me dig this tunnel for when an apocalypse happened, and they want me to be able to repopulate just in case." She explained

"Godparents are weird." Marco said as they stopped in front of an iron door Janna then turned the knob and they came into a hidden bunker with canned food and other provisions.

"Alright, my parents shouldn't be home right now we can escape upstairs after that you two are on your own." She said

"Why is that?" Janna asked

"Cause I need to find a new place to live now and you two would slow me down." She said the trio then left the house and Janna locked the door, and the group went their separate ways.

"Well, what now?" Star asked

"We have no choice; we have to go back home." Marco said.

"No, your parents will send you to reform school." Star said

"As long as you have somewhere to sleep then I'll be okay with it." He said he then took her hand and escorted her to the Diaz residents. As they walked up to the door, Marco banged on it, and the door opened to reveal his father.

"Marco what the hell are you doing here?" He asked he then saw Star next to him. "(Gasp) Star get away from him." He said as he pulled her behind him. "You got a lot of nerve kidnapping Star after ditching military school wasting my money and…"

"Shut up, just SHUT UP, You always seem to think that when something involves me, it's automatically my fault you never hear my side of the story you just believe what the other guy says, you never once showed me any sense of trust." He said as he noticed tears coming down his face.

"I need a father, and you were never there neither was my so called Mother until Star came around.

"I was beginning to think that you never wanted me, that makes sense since you always seem so eager to take in a foreign exchange student every chance you get. You two take the love and affection your supposed to give to me to people like Star. I was sick of it that was I ended up this way, that's why I hated you guys, that's why I took my anger out on other people." He said as looked at him with tear streaks coming down his eyes.

"But it doesn't matter now does it, you have Star back, and I'm leaving he said. As he turned away from the door and began walking into the cold night, leaving his father and his only friend.
