you sat there for a long time.

it felt so nice to hug him. of course, ethan's hug could never be matched, but... their hugs were almost the same. close enough.

when you finally, finally let go, mark's cheeks were red. you laughed. "okay, i gotta... gotta shower. now. i'll do my own laundry. don't worry."

mark nodded and let you leave.

when you got to the bathroom, you gently slipped of the strawberry dress and laid it down.

all of a sudden, looking at it down on the ground there, the memories started to build back up.

kiss

suicide

you wanted to tore that stupid dress into pieces. it help the memories of last night. terrible memories. it was a good thing that it was $500, or you just might've.

you got into the shower. the hot water dripped down your body, cleaning off the dirt on your legs and a scab developing into your left knee.

it felt so damn good.

you never wanted to leave that shower.

finally, though, after soaking for a good half an hour, you got out and wrapped a towel around your body. picking up the dress, you once again  went and knocked on mark's bedroom door.

"come in," mark called from inside.

he seemed to be doing some work on his laptop hugged on his knee.

"oh, uhm, are you looking for clothes?"

"no, though that does sound like a good idea." you sighed and smiled gently at him.

"mark, would you pay me $500 bucks to help me rip this dress apart? or you and ethan. i don't care."

a wide smile grew on mark's face. he slowly nodded. "i love breaking shit. especially expensive shit. i'm in, go ask ethan aswell. either way i'll pay."

you nodded and turned to leave. "oh, (y/n), uhm- here's some clothes?"

he handed you a pair of grey sweatpants and a black t shirt. you gratefully took them. they looked as though they'd fit.

you quickly went back to the bathroom and put on the clothes before heading downstairs. ethan was on the phone.

"okay, so, how much will it be?" he asked. pause. angry look on his face. "$150? that's a lot. are you sure you've got the right thing up? all i need is a screen change."

he noticed you and smiled at you. "okay. whatever. only repair shop that's open so... i'll see you tomorrow. thanks. buh-bye."

he took the phone from his ear and clicked the hang up button.

"sorry, hun. getting this stupid screen repaired. those mark's clothes?" he asked. you nodded.

"yeah, but i have a proposition. will you and mark each give me $250 and help me rip up my strawberry dress?" you asked, motioning to the dress in your hand.

just like mark, he smiled, and then nodded. "sounds devilish. let's do it, (y/n)."
