MindCleaver27: They won't tell me, so I have no answer to give my friend. They're there to explain everything to Marco and to act as damage control.
jolleIQ: Cliffhanger? Man, I hate those. I suppose you can be right, my friend.
RobLebron: It won't be two weeks, I'm going to try and work on this one as often as I can. Sorry for the long wait between chapters though, my friend. No, she found him completely on accident. Neither one of them had the intention of running into each other.
JJmmmmmlol: No, they're not from another world, my friend, just some good friends of mine I knew since first grade. You too, and I hope to see you in future chapters.
Kuriyan BBQ: It's an AU and normally when something like that happens, people tend to close themselves from others, especially the one who caused them pain.
Bedrock Armor: No, they're pretty common and the go-to spot while one is feeling depressed. Answer to your question, we have been friends since first grade and they usually catch any errors before I post and they'd usually give me some ideas one rather to give a cliffhanger, add drama, or some other third thing. While most of the time it is a royal pain in the ass, they're here to help me and I'm not going to stop them.
Enjoy the next chapter.
Marco looked up and saw Star sitting at the booth he had left her at. He looked at the bar and then at the door before shaking his head and walked towards the booth. Sitting across from Star, he took a deep breath and shook his head, "Marco?" he looked up in slight annoyance and Star frowned, "My um…my parents are here," Marco arched a brow and Star sighed, "They want to talk to us,"
"Really," Star frowned and nodded and Marco sighed and shook his head, "Star, I'm having difficulties believing this whole story, so your parents are wasting their time,"
"Marco, I know you find it hard to believe, but can you hear them out? I know you're going to probably believe that they're lying to you, but can you hear what they have to say and…"
"Where are they?" Star looked back and nodded her parents over.
Marco looked up at the older couple with slightly narrowed eyes, "Marco, these are my parents, Moon and River, mom, dad, this is the guy I was telling you about." Marco stared at them and Star frowned, "They'd like to talk to you."
"Marco, what our daughter told you is true," River said and Marco arched a brow, "I know you see this as us defending Star, but understand that we had called her and tried to set her up with a lad named Alfonzo Dolittle."
"Star didn't tell us that she had met someone and we were trying to help her find a nice man and it appears to have backfired," Moon sighed and shook her head, "If we had known she had met someone, we wouldn't have intervened and you two wouldn't be in this mess or this place," Star and Marco looked at each other in silence, "We'll…leave you two alone for now," the two walked away from them without uttering another word.
Marco sighed and shook his head and Star frowned, "So…now you know that my parents tried to set me up. I told you I have nothing to gain out of lying to you," she stood up and took a deep breath, "Well…I suppose I should go now and…"
"Wait," she looked at Marco and Marco stood up, "I'm sorry…I shouldn't have doubted you like that. I offered to go out with you to help you get away from assholes and here I am, probably the biggest asshole you've ever met,"
"No…you're not, it's just…"
"Why don't you come back to my place and I'll make you some of my famous nachos and we'll watch some movies together,"
"Isn't that what you said when we first met?" Marco nodded and Star slightly smiled, "And I believe I said, is that all you want to do, Mr. Diaz? Are you sure you don't want to jump the sack?"
"Give me some credit Goldilocks, I'm not that type of guy," Star giggled and Marco chuckled. "Are we really going to have this conversation?" the two fell silent before Marco sighed, "If you don't want to, I understand, but I've been a jerk to you and I obviously hurt you, so I'd like to try and make it up to you,"
"Sure…let's go," Marco nodded before Star took him by the hand and the two of them walked out of the bar together.
I apologize for the length on this one. This story is nearing its end. Sorry, my advisors really don't want this one to be a lengthy story. I've got two or three more chapters planned, and the next one will be M rated. Please enjoy everyone and please let me know what you all think.
