Be My Mistake - Matty Healy FanFic

Chapter Six

" Don't you see me I, I think I'm falling, I'm falling for you." I couldn't help but smile when I caught him looking at me. He smiled softly as he continued. 

" and don't you need me, I think I'm falling, I'm falling for you." Since last night, this was the first time I felt some sort of emotion coming from Matty, and I couldn't help but smile. The last note rang out and Matty looked straight at me with a neutral expression. He was so hard to read. James stood from his chair and turned around to face the boys. 

" See that is what I call vulnerability!" He exclaimed, patting Matty on the back.

 " You're in," he announced, making everybody cheer. I embraced the boys in a group hug, turning around to see Matty standing awkwardly a couple of meters away, rubbing his arm. 

" Come join me for a beer," James exclaimed, putting out his arm towards another room. I didn't move. I just watched as everybody besides Matty and I left the room. He slowly put down his guitar before looking at me as he rubbed the back of his head.

" That was a beautiful song," I said calmly, walking towards him. I had to speak to him, I couldn't stand this childish behaviour from him anymore. 

" Thanks," he said, reaching out for my hands to intertwine our fingers.

" It's written about a beautiful girl. I wrote it yesterday," he whispered, staring into my eyes. I shook my head and chuckled. 

This boy...

" What?" he asked, squeezing my hand.

" It's just. You make me so angry and confused. One moment you are loving and nice and the next you are being a total prick, avoiding me," I explained, looking down at our feet. I felt his hand under my chin, forcing me to look at him. 

" It's just I was gonna tell you, but then 'Alex' turned up with his perfect hair and nice clothes, and I saw how you smiled at him and I..." he rambled, scrunching his nose when he mentioned Alex. 

" I don't understand what does your behaviour have to do with Alex?" I questioned, furrowing my eyebrows. 

He chuckled.

 " You might be pretty but you are not that quick," he laughed at me. " I like you, and seeing how he makes you happy, I get it.." he continued. 

Now he was the one looking down. I stared at him in confusion until, finally, the penny dropped.

" God Matty, You are fucking stupid," I laughed. Now he looked confused.

" Alex is my best friend at uni, and he's gay. You would have figured if you had stayed around longer, at the party, to meet his boyfriend," I laughed, reaching a hand up to cup his cheek. 

He was slightly blushing, which was something I had not yet seen him do before. I just shook my head and tiptoed, connecting our lips in a soft kiss. 

I felt his hands resting on my lower back as I lifted my right hand to pull lightly at the curls around his neck. All of this was just because of simple jealousy, even though I would never get him to admit it. I rested my forehead against his when we pulled apart. We were both smiling like idiots. 

" George is gonna kill me," he laughed, stroking his thumb along my jawline.

" He'll have to get past me first," I joked, tugging lightly at his curls before pecking his lips again.

Even though Matty had managed to ensure the deal, George was giving him hell.

" Are you fucking naturally this much of a pain, or do you actively try to be?" George yelled. Matty seemed awfully calm but I couldn't help staying alert, ready to split the two of them if their fight should go from verbal to physical. 

I doubted it.

 First of, deep down they loved each other too much to fuck each other up, and secondly, none of them knew how to fight. Honestly, I had stopped listening to their discussion a couple of minutes ago. I just hoped they would sort it out.

"I don't give a fuck anymore," George said and left the living room, walking towards his room. Matty left to walk outside, and Ross and Adam just looked at me like two lost puppies.

" Aren't you going to stop them?" Adam asked, eyeing me as if I was supposed to solve this.

" Nope. I've given up trying" I stated and lifted a hand to rub my eyes. I was tired of this all the time. I looked back and forth between the two opposite doors they went out if.

" Is it bad?" I asked, looking as Adam and Ross sat down. Adam shook his head. 

" This happens every time Matty pulls a stunt like the one he did last night," Ross explained. I nodded slowly.

" What are we going to do?" I asked. This was beyond my abilities. I didn't know how to solve stuff like this. Actually, I had lived my entire life trying to avoid fights like these. Sure, I liked to help people but it just always seemed harder when there were feelings and people you knew involved.

 " Don't worry about it. They always figure it out eventually. It always goes like this. Matty does something. George yells that he's being an attention-starved narcissist and then they go their own ways for some time. Trust me, they both need to cool down, maybe have a couple of fags each, and then they have forgotten all about it," Adam said, turning on the tv. 

It made me feel better that they both felt so calm about it. They must be used to it. I looked between the doors, sighing before heading outside to find Matty sitting on the steps.

 " Hi," I said as I sat down beside him. 

" Hi, " he replied in a monotone voice and threw his fag end on the ground.

" You know George is right, right?" I said, leaning against the bannisters. He rolled his eyes.

" What you did last night was fucking stupid," I continued not caring whether or not he wanted to have the conversation. I might as well finish it now that George started it instead of bringing it up again later.

" Don't give me an attitude darling, I've got on of my own," he chuckled tauntingly. At least he had cooled down enough to be somewhat sarcastic. 

" Then tell me. Why did you get fucked?" I asked, trying to meet his eyes.

He chuckled. 

" I thought you understood that earlier. I thought you were fucking around with that Alex-dude. I had to get my mind off of things," he confessed.

 That was one thing I envied about him. He was always straight forward and spoke his mind. 

" I didn't think you were the type to lose your sanity to a girl," I chuckled, pushing playfully against his shoulder.

 " Me neither," he said, turning his head to look at me with a slight smile. I smiled back before shaking my head. 

" That is no excuse though," I said calmly. " You have to stop ruining yourself like that" I continued, making him sigh again.

" Do I have to get the psychology speech now?" he said, still with traces of a smile in the corner of his mouth. At least he was still in a good enough mood to joke around.

" Yes, you have to listen, so I can explain in detail how much of a dumbass you are" I grinned.
