================================Don't believe everything your foretold=============================
Marc had woken up lying with Amara under the covers of her bed. It was early and he couldn't do anything but panic and get out of there before a soul saw him. He was pretty sure that Tabitha never came to that room last night and if she did he hadn't noticed her.
He had spent most of the morning trying to avoid anyone or at least try to divert their conversations elsewhere. He was so confused, how did last night happen? It was such a very emotional night and his feelings got the best of him. However, that wasn't the real problem, the real problem is what he had to do about this.
He walked into the empty kitchen and made his way to the overhead cabinet and pulled out a cereal bowl. After collecting a big spoon, the gallon of milk and the box of Fruity Pebbles, Marc sat down at the table by himself and began to wolf the fruity flavored corn flakes down. Soon after he finished up his bowl of cereal and deposited it in the industrial sized dishwasher, he decided to head to his room to think.
One step out of the kitchen and into the main room he heard Kitty, Rogue, Kurt and Bobby walking towards the kitchen. He was not in any mood to discuss anything with Kitty right now after what happened the previous night. He ducked into the garage and walked around to steer clear of having to confront Kitty.

Amara sat up in bed and stretched her arms in the air while letting out an big over -exaggerated yawn. She smiled, remembering last night and how they kissed and kissed for hours. It was wonderful.
The door to the room opened and, none other than, Tabitha walked into the room. She stumbled over to her bed and toppled over on it, she hadn't slept all night because she was forced to clean up. "What're you smiling at?" she asked Amara, her voice muffled by a pillow.
Amara beamed. "Marc slept in here last night."
Tabby's eyes opened wide at this statement; she was in complete shock at what she just heard. How could this have happened? Why did Amara let this happen? How could she? "HE slept in MY bed!"
"No…he slept in my bed, Tabby."
"Oh ok…" she replied, now calming herself. "Wait…WHAT! He stole your bed and made you sleep in MINE…that jerk!"
Amara giggled. "No, no one slept in your bed…he slept in my bed…with me."
Tabitha's jaw dropped, cartoonishly. "You and him…together…WOW."
"Yeah…wow."
"I only got one question for ya, Amara…" Tabs said, staring at her best friend. "……why didn't he just sleep in my bed or his own for that matter. I mean, I can't think of a reason that he would sleep in here unless…OH MY GOD…did he screw you?!" She shouted, ready to strangle Marc the next time she sees him.
"Eww! Tabby, no…we just kissed and I fell asleep in his arms…it was wonderful."
Tabitha smirked a little smirk. "Soo…ten minutes after he's single you're all over him, huh?"
"You can't tell anyone…you promise?"
"Sure…but only if you do one thing for me?"
"Okay, what is it?"
Tabby, jumped over to Amara's bed. "C'mon, girl! I gotta have some details…"

Kitty, Kurt, and Rogue were sitting at the kitchen table talking and having some fruit and other small snacks for breakfast.
"I just can't believe that I did that last night…!" exclaimed Kitty after taking a sip of her orange juice.
The microwave door popped open and Bobby grabbed his breakfast burrito. "Yeah, no offense, but that was a pretty bitchy thing ya did…" he said a bit blasé and took a bite from the burrito. "Mmm…now this…is a good burrito."
"Shut up Bobby, Ah'd have done the same thang in her shoes." Rogue admitted.
"Ja, Keetty didn't know zat Marc vas trying to stop Lance from driving drunk." the only one in the room with a German accent said.
Kitty sighed and propped her head up on her fist. "I was so sure that he, like, wanted to get back at Lance because of the whole 'I'm a macho jealous guy' thing. When he was only trying to protect him."
"Yeeeaaah…and then you slapped him and followed up by dumping him……kind of makes you feel bad, doesn't it?" Bobby asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Vat iz vit you, Bobby?!" shouted Kurt, taking offense to his attack on Kitty.
"Hey? Marc's my best friend, it's not that I have anything against you Kitty…well there was that one time when you gave me food poisoning but that's in the past. I'm just sayin' that I'm gonna side with him on this matter."
Silence fell upon them for a few moments as they took all of this in.
"I'm going to go look for him." Bobby thought aloud as he finished up the rest of his burrito and walked out of the kitchen.
Bobby walked into Marc's room without knocking and saw Marc sitting in a chair by the window. "Hola Marc, what's up?" he greeted.
Marc just turned his head slightly and silently acknowledged him.
Bobby raised a brow at the upsetting look on his friend's face. "Is everything alright, dude? You're not still upset about what happened last night, are you?"
Marc face grew worried. "You know?"
"Yeah, everyone does."
"Really?"
"Mmhmm…I was talking about it to Logan last night."
"Dammit, even HE knows?"
"Well, duh. I mean, you have to be stupid not to know about your fight last night with Kitty."
Marc sighed in relief. "Oh you mean…instead of…yeah."
"So…are you okay, man?"
"Um, yeah, I'm cool. No worries." replied Marc as he looked out of the window.
"Okay, I'll leave you alone so that you can pretend everything's fine." he said to Marc and got up.
Marc needed to get all of this off his chest. He knew he could trust his best friend to keep this a secret. "Wait…I need to tell you something."
Bobby shut the door of the room and sat down on Marc's bed. "Okay, shoot."
Marc took a long, deep breath. "After the fight with Kitty, when she broke up with me, I was very confused. I needed a place to think so I, by chance, ran to my old room and saw Amara."
Bobby scratched the back of his head. "I don't know if I like where this is going."
"She was trying to comfort me as I was crying…one thing led to another and we wound up making out." Marc felt eased following his confession.
"I see…" replied Bobby.
"Please don't think I'm a jerk…it just kinda happened and-"
"Why would I?" asked Frosty. "What you did was perfectly fine…you weren't with Kitty at the time."
Marc held his head in his hands. "Then why do I feel like shit every time I think about it?"
"Come on, there's no reason to get all maudlin about it."
"I have to tell Amara that it was all just a mistake…and then I'll tell Kitty." Marc stated.
"Nooo no no no no no NO!" Bobby responded, gesturing wildly. "You can't tell Kitty, it's suicide…"
"I gotta."
"DON'T."
"Listen man, I've waded through this over in my head and I have to tell her." sighed Marc.
"Pretend like it never happened…you really like Kitty and if you don't want to hurt her you won,t tell her. You didn't cheat on her, so why mention it?"
Marc didn't know what to say to this, maybe he was right and telling her was wrong. "Okay…I won't tell her-for now at least."
"Smart move…she's in the kitchen right now. Go talk to her, play it cool." Bobby advised. Marc nodded and went to go find Kitty leaving Bobby in his room.
Bobby looked around at Marc's room for a minute. "Hey…this room is nicer than mine."

As Marc turned out into the side hall, Kitty seemingly came out from nowhere, actually the wall, and crashed into him. As both of them opened their eyes they blushed, now realizing their positions. Kitty was laying on top of Marc.
Kitty looked away, and trying to hide her flush. "Sorry, um, I didn't see…"
"No, no…I should have looked where I was…" he replied, trailing off with and embarrassed smile.
"Yeah."
"Yeah."
"I was just coming to…" They said in unison. "…talk to…you."
Kitty climbed off Marc and tried to help him off the ground but was almost pulled down again. When they were both standing Marc leaned up against a nearby door and Kitty put her hands behind her back.
"Marc, um, about last night…I thought that you-"
"I know what you thought," he said, cutting her off, "and I can't blame you…it did look bad."
"Yep…you know that I didn't mean what I said last night, right?"
"Yeah…well we were both pretty irrational last night." he replied, crossing his arms over his chest.
She gave him a kiss on the lips. "Good," she said and hugged him. "Do you want to go out and do something later?"
"Sure." he replied in a slightly surprised tone.
She smiled. "Great, see ya in a bit. I have to get my stuff ready for school tomorrow." And with that, Kitty took her leave.
Marc's heard a whimpering sound coming from the room across the hall and walked over to investigate. He peeked into the room through the ajar door to see Amara crying on her bed. Tabby, who was sitting next to her, was comforting her heartbroken friend.
They had heard every word spoken by Kitty and Marc. He really wanted to got talk to Amara and explain it all to her but her couldn't bear to see her like this. It was all his fault and he knew it.
He walked back to his room and laid down, not sleeping, just thinking.

After a few hours, Marc checked back at Amara's room. She opened the door. "Hi." he said.
"Hi." she replied, stepping to the side and letting him in.
He gulped as she shut the door. "We need to-"
Amara sat down on her bed. "Talk?"
Marc sat down on Tabitha's bed so that they were facing. "Yeah."
"Yeah."
They both avoided eye contact with each other and fidgeted nervously.
He felt an itch on his foot and scratched it with his other foot.
She played with her hair and sighed.
The clock on the wall ticked and the chirpings of baby birds could be heard outside. Other than that, silence.
