Matt's pov:

I was chilling on this couch in the living room...

It had been days since I last saw April at the party.

I've been texting her but she hasn't responded...

Is she avoiding me? Is this because of us sleeping together? Maybe it freaked her out?

*Ring*

The door bell rang as I flinched. Nick calls me from the his bedroom. 

Nick: "Matt, get the door!"
Matt: "Ugh fine!"

I open the door...

"Matt!"

April's pov:

"April?, April?"

I wake up...

April: "Huh?"
Doctor: "Visiting hours are over, you should go home."
April: "Oh uhh- okay."

I wipe my eyes and kiss my dad on his forehead...

April: "Bye Dad."

I leave heading home and lying on my bed.

For some reason my eyes started to tear up. I cry till I fall asleep.

~~~~~~~~~~~

The next day:

I wake up grabbing my phone that's been on my dresser for days. I plug it in to charge up.

I go to the bathroom. I wash my face and brush my teeth. 

I decided to actually wear something nice instead of staying in my pajamas all day.

I then head to the kitchen opening the fridge but immediately shut it.

I sit on the couch and turn on the TV, but immediately turn it off.

I sit there as my eyes tear up again...

WHY DO YOU KEEP CRYING APRIL?! Stop, just stop...

I get up from the couch grabbing my phone and putting on my shoes.

I walk out the house.

April: "Ugh your so annoying, I hate you!"

Why would I say that to him...

I felt my eyes tear up. I start running and running. Tears flowing out of my eyes.

Why is this happening to me... why me...

I suddenly find myself in a familiar place. I run up to the door step and rung the doorbell. I try to wipe the tears from my eyes but I couldn't stop crying...

The door opens...

April: "Matt!"

Matt's pov:

I open the door seeing April...

She looked exhausted. She looks like she hasn't slept or eaten in days. And her eyes were so puffy and red.

It hurt seeing her like this.

April: "Matt!"

She jumps in my arms hugging me, I squeeze her tight holding her. I could feel her shivering...

Matt: "April, are you okay?!"
April: "No I can't do this anymore!"

April said sounding muffled since her face was up against my chest...

Matt: "What do you mean?"

April: "My dads sick. Also I'm getting evicted and I haven't been going to work so I'm probably going to be fired. I can't stop crying I just can't. And all I've been doing for days is lying in bed. I don't know what to do!"

Matt: "Woah, April slow down."

April looks up at me...

April: "THE LAST THIS I TOLD MY DAD WAS THAT I HATE HIM! And now he's in a coma."

I look at April in shock.

April: "I'm scared Matt."

I squeeze her tighter...
