A/N: Hello again, folks! It's been over a week, since I've updated! So, sorry about that! If I remember my idea correctly, I know what's going to happen in Marv's PoV. I guess writing it, is going to be the only way to find out what's truly going to happen. Let's go! :D
Chapter 19: The Break-Off
Marv's PoV:
Once I'm in the van, I dial Kate's cellphone number, hoping she'll answer. As I sit and wait, I feel jittery; I clench my teeth and tap my fingers on the bottom of the steering wheel. After a few agonizing seconds of waiting, I hear a wonderful voice answer, "Hello?"
"Hello. Kate?"
"Marv…" She seems almost shocked that I called her. "What are you doing, calling me? I told you, I'd let you know what happened,"
"I know, but I was becoming worried that Peter may have found out about us,"
"And, you think calling me was the best way to remedy your fear?"
"Well, yeah…"
"Marv, as much as I like seeing you, you know what would happen to my marriage, if Peter found out,"
"I know, and I'd hate for that to happen…"
"Then, why do you keep bugging me about this?"
I feel disheartened, when I realize I'm being a bother to Kate. "I didn't mean to bother you, Kate… I guess I just don't know how to control myself in situations, like these,"
"I know, Marv, but you have to find somebody else to love… Somebody single. I shouldn't have to be telling you this,"
"You shouldn't have to be telling me this?" I question. "Kate, I'm not a child, you know. And, correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm sure you feel the same way about me, don't you?"
"Of course I do, but…"
"See?! I knew it!"
"But, Marv, I love Peter… He's the one I married,"
"Your marriage must be pretty dull, then, if you love me now, too," There's an awkward silence on the opposite end, as I think through what I just said.
"Marv… How could you say such a thing?" Kate is the one, who now seems disheartened on the opposite end.
"I'm sorry, Kate… I didn't mean it,"
"I'm sure you didn't!" Her temper seems to be rising a little. "But, you still said it. Peter and I are happily married, thank you very much! Now, I'd appreciate it, if you didn't call, anymore. Please! I'm begging you, Marv! Don't let me lose what I have with Peter,"
She's practically begging me, and I'm now starting to feel guilty. I look around, feeling nervous, wondering what to do. I love Kate, so I want to keep seeing her and talking to her. Though, if I truly love her, I need to respect her wishes.
"But, Kate…"
"Goodbye, Marv,"
"I just wanted to meet with you…" Before I can finish, I hear a click on the other end. My heart falters, because I'm pretty sure I just lost Kate for good.
I hang up the van's phone. I just sit and stare at it for a few moments, thinking about the very few memories I've had with Kate. Even though they were very few, they were still good ones.
I really thought something would work out between Kate and I, despite how she's married. That night she gave me her number, I really thought she was interested… I guess she is, but Peter means more to her. That's understandable, but I still love her.
I guess I should head inside, and tell Harry that I've truly broken it off with Kate; even though it was against my better judgment. I leave the van and make my way toward the house, feeling the chill in the air.
Once I make it inside, I hear Harry holler, "Marv! Is that you?!"
"Yes, Harry!" I'm feeling a little nervous with telling Harry, but I guess I don't have to worry about him constantly bugging me about committing adultery.
Harry soon starts trotting down the stairs, while asking, "What were you doing?"
"I… I broke it off with Kate,"
Harry looks confused. "I thought you did, already?" He's becoming a little suspicious.
That's what Harry thought, even though I lied to him. "She really doesn't want to see me, anymore… I thought I'd try one more time, but she really doesn't, Harry,"
"It's hard to believe you, when, more than once, you've told me you've broken it off with her,"
Harry starts to head toward the kitchen, and is most-likely aiming for the fridge. I stand in the main room, because I can't be bothered following Harry. Sure enough, he grabs something out of the fridge. I can't tell what it is, until he turns around. Once he does, the item comes into view: it's a bottle of iced tea. This guy never stops drinking…
"I know, but she's really concerned about her marriage, Harry,"
"She has every right to be!" he exasperates, before turning the lid on his bottle of iced tea.
"I just don't know what to do…" I'm feeling depressed. I know Harry is the last person to give helpful, brotherly advice, but he's the only person I have right now.
"Then, let her go," Harry tells me, ready to head upstairs. "You'll find somebody else… Somebody, who's single."
With those last words, Harry starts up the stairs. I'm left here, wondering if it's even possible for me to find a relationship with a single woman. Kate is one in a million, and she's unfortunately married. Remembering my fried egg, I head back into the kitchen. Little do I know, that this isn't the end of my contact with Kate…
To be Continued…

A/N: Thanks again, folks! Well, that was longer than I expected! This chapter kind of went the way I expected, but it also mostly didn't… I don't know. The chapter basically wrote itself! XD How do you think Marv will see Kate again? How is that going to go with Harry? I have no idea when I'll be updating next, but it's going to be for Kevin's PoV. With what happened last chapter, I think I know what's going to happen next for that one! I know, sometimes I make very little sense… My mind can be a clusterfuck, sometimes. Anyway, that's enough of me babbling… So, I bid you adieu! XD
