Chapter 11

Mark P.O.V
It's been three weeks and John's birthday party is in three hours. I went to the store to buy him something. We've been going out for three weeks now though.
I don't know if he loves me. I got him a necklace. I paid for it and went to my house to get ready; I took a shower; look through my clothes to find something to wear. I see a blue shirt with jeans.
The TV was on and I started watching it until it was time. I had a lot to think about. I'm starting to fall in love with him but…I can't be. He is the killer. I can't fall in love with my brother's killer.
John is one sweet, caring, charming guy. He is cute in every way. I can't think about that. He might be the killer of my brother's. I still can't believe my brother is gone. I tried to hold back my tears as I thought about Marcus. He was a great man.
I blink a few times and see the time. I get up quickly and went to my truck. I drove to his house and I walk up to the front. I knock a few times.
"Mark…" John smile as he kisses me.
"Hey babe…" I smirk.
"Come in…"
Some music was on; and he friends were dancing or hanging out. Glen was with Randy having some fun. I roll my eyes and follow John.
"You hungry…"
"Always…" I laugh.
John gives me a burger with fries and sat next to me. I held his face and kiss him with passion.
"Happy Birthday…cutie…" I smirk.
"Thank you…"
"Hey big guy…" yells Cena.
"Hello sir…" I smirk.
"Hey big guy…hands off" he warns.
I surrender and lift my hands up. He nods and went on to have some fun. I then hug John.
"How was your day…?" I ask.
"It was tiring…" he said "I have to plan for the party; get some food; make it; and some dessert"
"It must have been hard"
"Well…Adam and my grandpa helped me though"
"That's good…" I said "You did well John…the party is going pretty well"
It was cake time and we gather around John. We sang to him as he just smiles and goes with the music.
John goes and takes a bite from the cake. He tells me to come close and kisses me with the frosting. I got some on my lips, cheek, and chin.
We both laugh as we whip the frosting off. John cuts the cake and hands out pieces of cake. Everyone enjoy the cake.
Now it's just dancing time. Some drinks are here and there; people hung out just catching up. John and I were hanging out with Glen and Randy.
I place John on my lap and he lies down. I then felt something hit my arm.
"Ouch…" I said as I turn to see Cena.
"Hands off…" he said
"Sorry…"
Cena grabs John and sits on a chair next to me. I held John's hand but I was slap by Cena. He gives me narrow eyes.
"I'm watching you…" he said as he wheels off.
I shrug and held John's hand.
"I'm sorry…he is overprotective…" said John "But it's not his fault…so"
"Hey…I understand" I said.
John smiles and he gets closer to me.
"Umm Mark…" he said "I…"
John was blushing and his grandpa came close to us.
"I…love you" John said with a shy smile. I was taken a back and was shock for a while. I then smile at him.
"I…Lo…"
"Hey…!" yells Drew
Seth follows behind him and both of them laugh.
"Wow…John…" laugh Seth "First Marcus…and now you are with Mark…"
John gives him a confuse look. "What…?"
"Oh John…Are you going to kill Mark next?" said Seth
"What are you talking about?" asks John.
"Oh…that you killed Marcus"
Everyone gives a gasp and look at John.
"No…I didn't" said John
"Mark…how about you?" said Seth "You know that John killed Marcus…"
John looks at me with shock. He looks hurt. Steve comes up.
"Mark…" said Steve "All we need is for John to confess…"
Seth laughs along with Drew.
"Tell them the truth John" yells Seth "Mark thinks you did"
"You…do…?" ask John. He is now tearing up.
"I…I…"
"You do don't you" said John with anger but about to cry.
"John…let me explain…" I said
"Mark…?" ask Steve
I took out the necklace. "Is this yours?"
John gasps along with his Grandpa. "Yes…"
"They found this necklace in Marcus body and I thought this will lead me to the killer" I said.
"And you think…I killed him"
"Yes…I mean NO!" I stutter.
"The necklace doesn't prove anything…" yells John "I drop it along the sidewalk"
"Then how did it end up in Marcus pocket…?"
"I don't know…"
"John…I need answers…" I said
"No…" yells John as he cries now "I didn't kill him…we would you think I'll kill anyone…?"
"I…I…"
John pushes me back. Steve comes up.
"John…we have you as a suspect" said Steve "Mark…went undercover to find out the truth…"
John gets mad. He was now in tears; trying to keep calm.
"You mean…you pretended to go out with me" he said "And pretended to…love me?"
"No…John…" I tried to explain.
"No Mark…" he said "I confess my love to you…and all you been doing is playing with me"
"Wait…John…"
John grabs the necklace and held it tight.
"This doesn't say or proves anything…!" John yells. He looks at me with hurt and anger. "I fell in love with you…"
"John…I love you too…" I said
"Do you Mark…?" he said "Or are you saying that so I could confess that I killed Marcus"
"John…it's not like that…"
"I hate you" John says "I want you away from me…I don't ever want to see you again"
John walks to his house.
"Party is over…now go home!" yells John as he goes inside.
