AN: This one's a doozy! When I decided to write this one (which I did last week) I got super excited. This story on my computer is almost 50 pages long! Goodness! So I wanted to quickly remind you wonderful darlings to check out Markiplier's army on facebook! I am Markimoomoo on there! Give the page some love, okay? I also wanted to give you a quick note that it isn't uncommon that these chapters may be up late Saturday or even Sunday. Just so you guys don't get worried. Thanks for reading!
We pulled up to a giant house. It looked like something out of a movie. I gaped at how beautiful.
"Mark, it's gorgeous!" I said, smiling huge.
"Let's just take a minute to tour it first." Mark said with a chuckle.
"Hello? Are you Mark and Carly?" I young woman walked up to us. "I'm Pamela. I'll be showing you the house!"
"Nice to meet you!" Mark and I said together.
"Right this way!" Pamela said, ushering us to the house. "I'll just quickly give you some details about the house. It has four bedrooms, which all have bathrooms connected to them. There is a pool and hot tub combo outside! Plus a huge yard!"
"Those are definitely good traits for us! I have friends who come for conventions all the time, so having more room is good." Mark said, smiling while he looked around the house.
"And what kind of work do you two do?" Pamela asked.
"I'm going to school right now, and Mark works for Youtube." I replied, glancing at Mark. He was glancing out the back door at the pool. I laughed softly.
"That's nice! So are you looking to rent or buy?" Pamela remarked.
"We would like to buy, but whatever you suggest is fine. Money is not an option. I've put my old house up for sale so we'll have plenty of money for that." Mark added.
I walked around the house while Mark talked about money and explored the rooms. They were all painted in soft tones. I fell in love with every one of them. But the room that caught my eye the most was the master bedroom. It was huge! There was plenty of room as well as a balcony, which was one of the things I had always wanted in a house. I felt that this was the one.
"So how did you like it?" Pamela later asked us after we finished touring.
"I love it!" I replied, buzzing in my heels.
"We have a couple more to look at and then we will make a decision. Thank you so much for the tour. I think I'll let Carly decide." Mark said, hugging me. I smiled.
"Well we look forward to hearing from you! Have a nice day!" Pamela said.
"Carly! You're back! I was wondering if you wanted to go with me to get lunch?" my mom asked after we got back to my house. I glanced at Mark.
"Go ahead, I'll go to the gym and sign us up for the classes. You guys have fun, okay?" Mark said. I nodded and he kissed my cheek quickly.
"Where would you like?" I asked.
"I was thinking Mexican food." My mom smiled, grabbing her keys. I followed her out the door and we hit the road.
"So about the argument we had the other night." My mom said, sipping her margarita. I took a bite of the nachos the waiter had brought to the table.
"Mom, don't worry about it. I understand where you were coming from. All this stuff with Mark has been stressful. He's worried I'll get hurt, and I'm worried he will. We just need somewhere new." I said.
"Well what about if it happens again?"
"Mark is signing us up for defense classes, so we will be better prepared for an attack. It will be fine. Don't worry." I said.
"Alright then. I just want you safe and happy. By the way, did you find anything out about a new place to live?"
"Yeah! We looked at a few places. I found one I really like!" I said.
"Oh? Do you have any pictures?"
"I actually do! Here let me show you." I said, scrolling through my phone. "It has plenty of space so people can come stay at our house when there are conventions in town."
"It's very lovely. So have you called about it yet?"
"Not yet. I was going to wait for Mark."
"Well what did he say about this house?"
"That the choice is mine."
"Well then go for it if it's something you like!"
"Okay! I'll do that now!" I clicked on Pamela's name and listened to the ring on the other end.
"Hello? Pamela here." Pamela's voice rang out on the other end.
"Pamela, it's Carly. I just wanted to tell you that we have decided to take the house!" I felt my phone vibrating and looked to see that Ryan was calling.
"Good! I'm glad to hear that! I'll just get the paperwork done and we can discuss the rest at a future date! I'll text you the details! Have a good night." She said, hanging up. I clicked over to Ryan.
"Ryan! Hey!" I said into the phone.
"Carly! Oh thank god you answered! You need to get up to the hospital. Mark has been shot." Ryan's frantic voice called over the line. My heart rate shot up and I told him I would be there as soon as I could.
"Mom! We have to go! Something's happened to Mark." I said. Jumping up and running out of the restaurant.
