Alive

Chapter 7

/Lilys POV

I woke up in Marcus' arms on the bathroom floor. I tried to look around without him noticing.

- Oh my god your alive, Marcus whispered. Shit. I could tell he was crying, his voice was shaky and his hug wasn't as tight as usual.

- Why are you here, Marcus?

- Listen Lil, I just couldn't let you get hurt. Not after last years events.

- What do you mean?..

- I can't tell you girl. I wish I could, but that's up to Martinus. Just promise me you won't do this again, okay?

- I won't Marcus. I smiled weakly. His eyes were wet. I turned around and wiped his tears with my sleeve. He looked at my lips, at my eyes and at my lips again. I leaned in and finally the moment I had been waiting for so long. Marcus Gunnarsen kissed me, but I had to pull away.

- Marcus I can't right now. I feel very dizzy, my world is spinning. I just want my first kiss with you to be when I have my thoughts cleared up. Oh and maybe not on the literally bloody floor, I laughed.

- Yeah it may not have been the best idea. Also our next kiss will be the second not the first one but alright, Marcus smiled weakly, still tears in his eyes.

- Yeah yeah stop this flirting and let's get clean this mess before everyone comes home.

- Martinus can you stop ruining every single moment please? Marcus looked at him annoyed, but I could see how close he was to laughter.

- Yeah I could but I don't want to see my older brother flirting with the girl that lives with us. SO PLEASE limit yourselves to your rooms! Martinus made puppy eyes. Gosh, he was such a baby and couldn't stand a little flirting.

- Now let's get to cleaning, I teased Marcus by looking at his lips and then getting up from his hug.

- HEY I WANTED TO HUG LONGER!

- Marcus Gunnarsen stop acting like such a baby and GROW UP. I couldn't hold myself any longer and just started laughing at how alike these twins were. They may seem different, but they are EXACTLY the same when it comes to behavior.

It took us a while to clean the WHITE floor and get rid of all the red stains, but eventually we did it.

- Hey, Martinus can I talk to you? Marcus said and I looked at them confused.

- Yeah. We really need to. The twins left and closed the door behind them in Martinus' room. I decided that I should study for my math test next week, but I just couldn't concentrate. What was it that Marcus and Martinus needed to talk about? What did he mean by "last years events"? After a while they started screaming at each other. More specifically Martinus was screaming at Marcus. God they were loud, I couldn't concentrate.

I went to Martinus' door to knock and ask them to be quiet, but quickly stopped in my tracks.

- Martinus I know it reminds you of your depression but you HAVE to understand that she needs you! YOU of all people understand what she is going through right now! Marcus sounded slightly annoyed.

- MARCUS I KNOW BUT I CAN'T DO IT! IT JUST REMINDS ME AND MAKES ME FEEL LIKE THROWING UP OR EVEN WORSE PICK UP MY BAD HABITS. I'M STILL DEPRESSED AND YOU KNOW THAT DAMN WELL! SO STOP BOTHERING ME ABOUT IT AND DON'T ASK ME FOR HELP WHEN SHE HAS AN ACCIDENT CAUSE I WON'T HELP. Martinus' words hit me like a train.

Martinus Gunnarsen, DEPRESSED? Him of all people, I thought he was happy. I opened the door quietly. The twins were facing away from me, hugging on Martinus' sofa. I sat down next to Martinus and hugged him. He put his arm around my shoulders and sobbed.

- I'm sorry, Martinus. I didn't know my behavior triggers your memories. And I'm sorry about your depression.

- It's okay Lily, really. But um, go talk to Marcus, I think he wants to tell you something. I looked over at Marcus and figured that Martinus was right. He gestured his room with his hands and I followed him. He was so hot. Wait no. I CAN'T fall for him YET. I'm not ready yet.

- Are your thoughts cleared up now? He smirked.

- Oh Marcus. I wish. They aren't even close to cleared.

- But do you know anything?

- Yeah.

- And what is that? He smiled again. I could see he wanted to cry, because he thought that his chance was over.

- Hm. How about the fact that I want to kiss someone.

- May I know who that is?

- Someone that you are very close to, Gunnarsen. I teased him.

- MARTINUS?!

- How dumb can you actually be?

- W-

He didn't get to finish the sentence before I kissed him.

- SO who is it?

- You. I smiled before kissing him again.

- Yeah I am an idiot. But I'm your idiot, he smirked  when we stopped kissing.

- Good joke Gunnarsen. You are not my boyfriend. Anyway I want a hug since we didn't finish hugging earlier! I said.

Marcus looked a little bit disappointed when I said that he wasn't my boyfriend. Before any of us were able to say something we heard a loud thud. Marcus ran out as if he already knew what happened. It took me a while to process what happened before I ran too.

The sight was horrifying. Martinus was knocked out on the floor, with blood coming from his head. His eyes were wide open, but he wasn't breathing.

-NO! LILY GO CALL MY MOM RIGHT NOW PLEASE! Marcus was CRYING. I ran downstairs, and luckily their parents had just come home.

- Gerd-Anne, Marcus needs you, Martinus fell to the floor. Gerd-Anne looked like she had seen a ghost.

- Did he have his eyes open?

- Yeah!

- Kjell-Erik and Gerd-Anne sprinted upstairs, and quickly came back with martinus between them.

- We are going to hospital RIGHT NOW! Lily please stay home and watch Emma!

I looked over at Marcus, with red eyes and a worried face.
