Marcus

Hi. I'm Marcus Ramsay. I'm 26 years old and a nurse. I've returned to the bus after my mum's funeral. Hopefully, my life will start to get better.

[marcus-ramsay]

Hey, Professor.

[leonburne]

Alright. I’ll try.

[marcus-ramsay]

We'll do it little by little, okay?

We don't have to grope each other in public just yet.

[marcus-ramsay]

Hey, Professor.

[leonburne]

No, I mean, I do. I definitely do.

[marcus-ramsay]

Perfect. Good.

But no more secrets. I don't wanna hide this time.

[marcus-ramsay]

Hey, Professor.

[leonburne]

…Really?

[marcus-ramsay]

Yeah. I mean...if you still wanted to give this another shot.

I get it if you don't...

[marcus-ramsay]

Hey, Professor.

[leonburne]

Along with period pains, possibly pregnancy, all that wonderful shit.

But you needed something?

[marcus-ramsay]

Well, I hope you wouldn't be pregnant, since I definitely couldn't do it to you.

Oh. Right. Um. About that kiss, from before...I was wondering if I could do it more often, if that's okay.

[marcus-ramsay]

Hey, Professor.

[leonburne]

Ah. Nice to know people who got fucked over too.

Yep. Dunno if I should be glad or not.

[marcus-ramsay]

I'd say make the most of it.

Sure you've got a vagina along with it, but hey. It's a trade off.

[bambi-eklund-blog]

Alright. I’m trustin’ your judgement, Marc.

An’…I am sorry for callin’ y’things.

[marcus-ramsay]

I forgive you. So...we're really friends again?

Everything's good?

[marcus-ramsay]

Hey, Professor.

[leonburne]

Unfortunately. Who’s asking?

[marcus-ramsay]

Marcus.

I see you've got a working pair of legs now. Among other things.

[marcus-ramsay]

Hey, Professor.

[leonburne]

I’m assuming you mean Professor Burne?

[marcus-ramsay]

Yup. You him?

[sebastian-glynn]

Sometimes we need to do what we want. No real friend would abandon you for making a bad choice, especially if it made you happy at the time. Lucy sure hasn’t.

… No one deserves to get hit.

[marcus-ramsay]

I've been hit plenty of times for much less.

[marcus-ramsay]

Hey, Professor.

Where've you been?

We gotta talk.

[bambi-eklund-blog]

…It’s alright, hun. I forgive ya.

An’ I’m here for ya…even if you’re with him. But don’t expect me to play nice with him if he does anythin’ bad again.

[marcus-ramsay]

Thank you.

I promise I won't let him. I just...I feel like I can really be happy with him. And I know you don't believe it, but he has changed. I know he has.

[sebastian-glynn]

But you can’t be happy not doing it?

What? I don’t want to hit you… I can’t hit you. I made Lucy a promise.

[marcus-ramsay]

Not if she's not happy with me. What's the point of doing it if I don't have any friends?

Well, you should. It's what I deserve.

[bambi-eklund-blog]

I was just lookin’ out for you, hun.

[marcus-ramsay]

I know...I'm really sorry.

It's just...I need you. But,...I just...I tried, Lucy. I really did.

[bambi-eklund-blog]

It’s fine. M’kinda askin’ for it with how I go about doin’ things.

[marcus-ramsay]

No. You weren't. You didn't deserve that.

I was just mad because you were right. And I didn't wanna admit it.

[sebastian-glynn]

Oh.

That’s fine… Just as long as you’re happy. 

[marcus-ramsay]

That's just it, though. I can't be happy knowing what I did...what I'm doing.

You know...you can just cut the nice crap. Hit me or whatever, since I know that's what you wanna do.

[bambi-eklund-blog]

…Maybe. Are…are y’at least happy?

[marcus-ramsay]

No.

I feel terrible. I said terrible things to you.

[bambi-eklund-blog]

S’pose you’re right.

All of this was shit. M’tired of the bus an’ fightin’ with all of my friends.

[marcus-ramsay]

Maybe it would've been better if we never got back on.
