Checkouts- My ending

Checkouts –finishing edit
The guy name was Mark. He lived a secluded life with dreams of doing big things, but just haven’t any way to exceed himself. That’s how he ended up as the bag-boy at the supermarket. Not that he was in a bad position, based on his own actions but yet much more complicated. He could never get his words together and he felt that his purpose was to be an invisible person in society. Yet he did not know things were about to change for the best.

Before the girl left, Mark realized that his shift was almost over and he decided to check out a little early. He raced after the girl with steps filled with charisma and he politely asked her name. She turned, trying hard to hold her blush, and said her name was Mykayla. Immediately love sparked within their eyes and all he could say then was his name was Mark, and a pause. She smiled and said “hello” and “what’s up did I lose something,” trying to change her focus. Mark replied with a nervous “no” and said that he got nervous when her pretty face in the line and that’s why he dropped the jar of mayonnaise. She blushed and (wanting to say really?) she said “Oh, well um thank you,” she started to walk to the car. He then said “Well Mykayla how would you like to get to know each other better, I saw that blush.” They both laughed and that’s how it began.

They started off with a nice dinner for the first date and then they started going out to the movies and later to parties together. Mark had gotten promoted at his job to a supervisor and he got a chance to talk to Mykayla on his own time whenever she visited the supermarket. The two were a great couple and nothing seems to go too wrong. Then one day, Mykayla told Mark about a secret she really never told anyone. The reason she felt this was her chance to tell Mark this secret was because she never gotten this close to anyone before in her life. Mykayla was the above-average girl who made many friends but really stayed to herself. Meeting mark had a big change in her life. She became a little bit more open with herself and to others. So in her mind this secret should finally be told.

She started off waiting for Mark to come home from work and told him that she wanted to have a talk with him. She poured them both wine and they drank it peacefully. Mark then wanted to finally know what this secret was that Mykayla wanted to tell him so he finally asked. She started off in a “not-too-confident well….” Then she continued with a look of discourage and eventually just told him that she has a disorder. He didn’t really act to surprised like she thought he would and he just said well “what is this disorder? I really never noticed anything wrong with you.”She replied that it’s really not a disorder but a big problem she have with herself. Noticing that she is stalling, Mark kindly asked for her to be even more specific. So a bit frustrated, Mykayla just blurted out that she has emotional instability. That it wasn’t good for her to feel any emotion too greatly or that will alter her personality real bad. Mark laughed it off but he took caution and just told her “babe you won’t have to worry about your emotions getting out of hand. They haven’t so far so this isn’t a problem. I’m starting to love you and I don’t want something like this come in between us.”
Mykayla smiled with relief and told Mark that she felt the same but she just wanted to tell him that in case anything ever got out of hand with her emotions and he wouldn’t think she was crazy. Even though that wasn’t the other part to the secret, she felt that he know enough for him to keep her. So she really didn’t worry about it. Later, about 5 months later they both ended up getting married and Mark was now manager of the supermarket. They both came far from that day they met each other at the supermarket.
However, all the happiness was about to end for the two. Mykayla saw Mark talking to a lady he just hired as cashier for the supermarket. The 1st couple of times she paid not too much attention to it. Then one day she crept up on Mark while he was at the job and saw the two kissing. Mykayla emotions immediately ran wild within her head and all she could think was what she almost did to the last guy that cheated on her. (Mykayla’s other part of the secret was that she almost killed the last guy she was in love with because he cheated on her and she let her emotions get too her to strong.) The guy never pressed charges and that’s the only thing that saved her from ruining her own life. With these thoughts racing through her mind all of suddenly she busted in the room and started yelling at Mark, like she was scolding an ill-behaved child. She attacked the lady without regret and Mark desperately tried to stop her. Mykayla kept on trying to get to her, still violently yelling hate words, she picked up (without noticing) a box-cutter that was laying on top of the just-arrived shipments. Then she swung, with the intent to strike the girl, and accident cut Mark. The wound was instantly very deep, and sadly Mark didn’t last more than a couple of minutes, before the ambulances and the police arrived. Mykayla was not spared this time and she now sits in an icy tempo cell.She's now wondering, why she was cursed with meeting someone at a checkout, which she would eventually kill.
