"Em?" I heard Robin opening the door and looked at him. I wiped my tears away and sobbed. "Emma c'moon! Don't cry!" Robin said and sat down next to me. He kissed my cheek and I chuckled a little. "I don't know why I'm crying to be honest. It has just come." I said and he laughed. "It means that you're sad and that you care about Marco." he said and I sobbed. I do. But the question is if he cares about me the way I do about him. "Marcel you can't understand me." I said and looked at him. He pouted and hugged me. "I know the words he said hurt. But... can't you listen to him?" Robin asked and I pulled away. "No. Not now." I said while shaking my head. "Okay." he said and rubbed my arm. "Emma, you are like a sister to me. And believe me, it hurts seeing you crying, especially when I know that you never cry." he said and I smiled. I lay down and sighed. "Everything will be better." he said and covered my body with a blanket. "Good night." he said and walked away. Marco, you're the colour of my blood. You're the cure, you're the pain.

Marco's POV

Robin walked out of Emma's bedroom and sat down next to us. "She doesn't wanna talk to you." he said and I punched the sofa. "Keep calm. It's your fault anyways." Marcel said and it made the anger even bigger. "I know! Okay?! I know it! I fought for her! It took me freaking long time to make her realize that we can be together! Then I screwed up! I know it! But you're not helping by saying it! You could also move your ass and help me by talking to her!" I screamed so hard that my throat will be in a pain tomorrow. Marcel had his what-the-hell-is-going-on look and Robin was surprised as hell.

Emma opened the door while shaking her head. "You screwed up. And it's none of their faults." Emma mumbled and I moved closer. "I know. Em, I'm so sorry." I said and she took a step back. Shit. "Are you?! Because all you've done til now is screaming! And just to let you know - it scares the hell out of me!" she said and I looked at Marcel. "It would be better if you leave." he mumbled and I looked at Emma. Let's see where I'm standing. "Shall I? Shall I leave?" I asked her and she kept her gaze on the floor. "Emma just say the word and I'll leave." I said and she finally looked at me. Disappointment. Pain. Fear. Those emotions are in her eyes. In those beautiful dark eyes of hers. "Yes. Leave." she said and sobbed. I was walking away when she cleared her throat. "Next time you talk to people who care about you, make sure not to scream and not to scare them." she said and closed the door behind her. I scared her.

Emma's POV, Tuesday morning

"Good morning." I greeted Marcel when I walked in the kitchen. "Hello Em." he said and I smiled. The night was pretty hectic. I had a dream. A terrible one. It was just the same scene of me and Marco fighting. Why do I have dreams like this? Why is this - "Em?" Marcel called and I focused on him. "Yes?" I asked and he sighed. "Emma, I know that you probably don't wanna talk about it, but just to let you know he is really sorry and he loves you." Marcel said and I chuckled sadly.

"Marcel not even my parents scream like that on me. So how dares he to talk to me like that?" I mumbled and he nodded. "It proves the way he loves you." he said and I choked. "Pardon?!" I asked. "Screaming proves love?!" I exclaimed in disbelief and he shook his head. "I won't make any excuses for him. I'm just saying that if my girlfriend would have a guy that likes her and gets into a fight because of her, I would be jealous too." he said and I nodded. "But I don't think you would be able to scream like that." I said sadly and he took a step closer so that he could give me a kiss on the forehead. "You can take your time. The only thing he can do is waiting." he said and I looked at him. "Whose side are you on? Mine? Or Marco's one?" I asked and he chuckled lightly. "No matter how good friend he is, he crossed the line. But you could forgive him." he said and I hugged him. "I should go. Bye." I said and waved him.

.....

I was walking out of school when a voice called my name. "Emma!" I turned around and smiled. "Don't you have class right now?" I asked Jessie and she ran to me. "Nope." she said happily and I laughed. "You don't seem to be happy at all." I said in ironic voice and she rolled her eyes. "What will you do today?" she asked and I shrugged. "Don't know. Why?" I asked. "Won't we go out? Later?" she asked and I shrugged. "Sure." I said and she smiled. "So the cafe on the corner. As usual." she said and I nodded. "At?" I asked. "6." she said and I smiled. "Okay. See you." I said and started walking to my car.

"I'm home." I said and took of my jacket. I walked in the living room and choked. "What is that?" I said and pointed on the bouquet. "That is for you." Marcel said and I went closer. It's made of white roses and yellow tulips. "Wh-who sent it?" I asked while admiring it. "Guess who." he said and I looked at him. Marco. "I don't want it." I mumbled and Marcel shook his head. "Emma those are just flowers." he said and I shrugged. "I'm gonna do my homework." I said and he nodded sadly.

I opened the door and looked at Marcel. He's sleeping peacefully like a little baby. I tiptoed closer to the table. The bouquet is... amazing. Wait. Marcel has his phone near. I took it carefully and unlocked the screen. 'She said she doesn't want it, but her eyes said differently.' Marcel sent this to Marco and the reply was 'Happy that she hasn't thrown it out of the window yet'. Haha. I am capable of anything. I took the vase in my hands and when I reached the room, I put it on my table. It's beautiful. But some flowers aren't going to make it better.

.....

I walked in the cafe and looked around. I smiled when I spotted Jessie. She is always everywhere on time. "Hello." I said and sat down. "Cześć." she said and I laughed. I love that language. "So, what will we have?" I asked and the door were opened. Marco. "Oh God." I mumbled and Jes turned around. "Jessie don't look there!" I exclaimed in whisper and she raised an eyebrow. "He's still your boyfriend, isn't he?" she asked and I gulped. I don't know. Maybe. No. Yes! I don't know. "I'm gonna order us coffee." I said and walked to the cashier.

I walked back with 2 cups in my hands. Mission completed. He hasn't seen me. "Here." I said and put the cup on the table. "He noticed me." she said and I furrowed my eyebrows. "What?" I asked. "Marco noticed me. He saw me. So maybe he will take a look on me again and then he will notice you." she said and I looked out of the window. It's okay. If he takes a look, then I'll let him take a look.

Jessie answered her phone and I looked at Marco. He is smiling. Have I ever mentioned that his eyes and smile is something precious to me? "Okay. I'll be there." Jessie said into the phone and I furrowed my eyebrows. She hung up and sighed. "Fabian needs help with his homework so I gotta go." she said and stood up. "See you in school." she said and hugged me. "Bye." I said and looked around. Okay. I'll go home too. Shit. Marco can see pretty clearly on the door. Okay. Breath.

I opened the door and heard a light "Em?" coming out of somebody's mouth. I looked behind me and confirmed myself that it's Marco. I smiled a little and closed the door. I was about 10 metres away from the cafe when I looked around to see Marco there. "Em wait." he said and walked in my direction quickly. "Hey." he said when he reached me and I nodded. "Will you talk to me?" he asked and I sighed. "Marco you were like crazy. Blaming me for something stupid and screaming like if you have the right to. But you don't! Not even my parents scream like that!" I said and he nodded. "Let me do something to make you forgive me." he said and I chuckled sadly. "Do something." I said and started walking away.

"I love you." he screamed after me and I turned around. "Really? Because you haven't been acting like that." I said and walked away.
I could look into your eyes until the sun comes up and we're wrapped in light, in life, in love. Put your open lips on mine and slowly let them shut for they're designed to be together.
