Against All Odds

Chapter 12

The two week dragged by and I was finally home.

Its good to be home. The silence calmed me. It never used to be silent. But my love for music disappeared after i lost my parents. I walked hesitently toward my guitar. It was propped against the wall. Slowly i picked it up. I strummed a few chords and began to sing. The music washed my pain away. I smiled as i strummed the final chords of Imagine. Gently i set my guitar down. I walked over to the table and picked up the photo album.

"You should sing more often, your voice is beautiful." Matt said from the door way.

I jumped. The photo album slipped from my fingers and hit the floor with a thud. I reached for it. I scooped it up and carefully set it on the coffee table.

"You scared me." I stated as i turned towards Matt.

"sorry. I didnt mean to." He mummered watching me as i moved closer.

"Its fine." I mummered taking his hand in mine.

"What are you doing?" He questioned as i pulled toward the stairs.

" we are going to watch a movie." I answered while trying to walk up the stairs without falling.

We made it to the top and i pulled him into my room. I giggled at the abovius discomfort that was easy to see on his face. I put my favorite movie in the dvd player and pressed play.

"The Notebook? Really?" Matt whined

" Yes really. I love this movie!" I said before skipping to my bed.

Matt followed slowly and sat next to me. He pulled me onto his lap and rested his chin on my shoulder.

About half way through the movie Matt fell asleep. Rookie mistake i thought as i grabbed my nail polish. When i finished Matt lay snoring with glittery pink nails. I burst out laughing as i took a picture.

" whats so funny?" Matt asked still half alseep.

"Oh nothing just go back to sleep. Without further questioning he was out. He snored softly.

I snuggled next to him and let sleep wash over me
