The Only Point

By: Gabi

            Author's Note: This is a Marco romance; I think the poor guy deserves a shot.  No its not self insertion, just my idea of what might interest our sarcastic little friend.    I would appreciate any feedback I could get on this.  If it's crummy tell me but tell me why.  If I mess up the characterization, give me a suggestion.  If you like it, same thing, tell me why. This is also a crossover w/ Young Wizards, although it won't be posted there.

Oh, and if something doesn't make sense let me know, sometimes I assume too much.

Time line: This takes place directly after the end of 54.  (However, the prologue takes place a little bit in the future, and chapter 1 starts directly after 54, apparently I did assume too much in that regardJ )

Thank you for listening to my babble.  Enjoy!

Prologue:

            "You know, I think I really do love you.  But that's so stupid…because the only point to loving is losing"                                     -Nick

            Marco

            I never expected to forget you.  No matter how much I tried, if only for my own sanity.

            And then today, I tried to remember.

            And there was nothing.

            Not a glimpse of your face, not the faintest scent of your hair,

            Or taste of your lips.

            I went mad today.

            I had thought that maybe if I forgot you, forgot everything, it wouldn't hurt anymore, that somehow I would be saved this, this…well, pain is an understatement.

            I was wrong.

            Now there is nothing.

And the absence of you is so much worse than the pain of remembering.

I cannot blame you for slipping away from me.  I had nothing to offer you.  Nothing but words, and empty promises.

And what are the words that I offer you now?  The only words I can.

I'm sorry…
