Figuring out the bad boy // Matthew Espinosa

Chapter 42

"Why should I stay?" He asked angrily.

"Matt I-"

But the door was already shut.

I wanted to chase after him so I put on my converse and started out the door.

I ran out into the lobby to see Matt was just about to get into a cab.

"Wait!" I yelled and tried to get Matt's attention but I couldn't in time.

It started to thunder and I decided that I would get back inside before the storm starts.

As I walked back into my room I didn't notice I was crying until I looked in the mirror.

I wanted to go back to New York.

I didn't want to be here anymore.

I checked my phone to see I had gotten some texts from Sammy.

SW: hey baby just wanted to check in and see if you were okay
SW: I miss you and your kisses so much :(
S: I miss you too! everything is going good also :) love you!

That made me way happier.

I wanted to call Matt again and say how sorry I am for hurting him.

But he just doesn't understand how much I love Sammy.

He was there for me when no one else was.

I was so tires after traveling all day so I got under the covers of my bed and turned on the TV.

After a couple of shows my eyes drooped asleep.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*Matt's POV*

She ran away from me and now she's engaged.

She literally has no idea how that makes me feel.

Even though I feel like I should be mad at her, I just can't be.

I mean for pete sakes its Skyler!

How can someone resist her?

I wanted to call her and tell her how much I loved her, but I just can't.

I was such a douche to her earlier she probably doesn't even want to hear my voice.

I took off my shirt and hopped into bed.

I tried to sleep since it was 11 but I couldn't get Skyler off my mind.

After 4 hours of tossing and turning, I decided I need to see her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*Skyler's POV*

I heard a bunch of knocks on the door.

I rolled over trying to ignore it but it just wouldn't stop.

I looked at the time, 3:32 am.

Who would come at 3:30 am?!

I looked through the peep hole and saw that it was Matt.

"Why are you here?" I yawned.

"I need to make it up to you." He looked up.

"Make up for what?" I still did not want to let him in.

"For being a douche earlier."

I thought about it for a while and then opened the door.

"Just for a little bit." I said and he smiled.

I turned on the light and sat down on the bed, patting a spot next to me telling Matt to join me.

He slowly walked towards the bed and sat down.

"Do you really want to know why I left?" I asked sort of mumbling.

"If your ready to tell me, then yes." He grabbed my hand. "I won't pressure you into telling me."

I smiled at him and took a deep breath.

"Well first off, I didn't want to watch another one of my friends die. After the whole Nash experience I never wanted to watch that again, but then your car exploded. You weren't dead when I pulled you out of the car, but after we sat there for a while, waiting for the ambulance, you got colder. Your heart beat got slower until it stopped. I felt for your pulse but you were gone. I swear you were dead. The ambulance came and got you to the hospital quickly. I came to see you the next morning and you weren't any better. I couldn't watch you die. I just couldn't. So I called Sammy. We always had these crazy dreams of running away and shit so I thought he would be up for it. He told me he would do it so we took off for New York. When we arrived I got a job and after a while we could afford an apartment so we got one. We've lived up there ever since. I got called to a meeting from my boss about a new opportunity, so I took it. And here I am." I didn't even realize I was now crying.

Matt slowly wiped away my tears away.

"Well I better get going." He yawned and got off the bed.

"Wait!" He looked back at me.

"Can you stay with me?"

He smiled "Of course baby."

He took off his coat and shirt and I couldn't help but stare.

"Ahh years may have passed, but I still got the ways with the ladies." He smirked.

"Shut up and come here."

We cuddled up against each other and I felt Matt kiss my forehead.

"Goodnight beautiful."
