FOREVER, YOURS // Matty Healy.

I've been waiting forever for you.

"I know." I looked at my hands in my lap and sighed. "I felt bad but I didn't really know what else to do and Matty has been so welcoming to me."

"I'm grateful he has because like I said, you never would've spoke up otherwise." He nodded. "So the only option I really have to go forward is to fire him, that's the bottom line. We can take it further if you would like, getting the police involved but that's totally down to you." I looked up at him with wide eyes.

"No, that's not necessary." I said quickly. "I don't think it's bad enough for that."

"I understand, just know that you will have many people on your side should you change your mind." He smiled reassuringly. There was a knock at the door making us both look towards it. "Come in." He said, his voice a little louder by this point. The door opened and Matty walked in, a look of rage covering his features. They softened as soon as he saw me sitting there though.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt anything." He said with a sheepish look on his face.

"It's fine, not like you haven't heard it all before." I shrugged. Jamie nodded and motioned for Matty to come in, seeing as though I didn't seem bothered by his sudden appearance.

"I just wanted to come and see if everything was okay." He said as he sat down in the seat beside me.

"Well you went ahead and told Jamie anyway." I looked at him, his eyes diverted to Jamie and he sighed.

"Sorry. It didn't sit well with me and I know you were unsure but that prick needs to be dealt with." I rolled my eyes at him and smiled.

"It's done now I guess." I shrugged. He held back a smile but I could still see the corners of his lips turn up.

"Anyway, I want you to know that you can come to me if you need anything. I've been really happy with everything you've been doing so far and you're probably one of the best members of staff we've got now. I wouldn't want to lose you over someone like Lax being less than decent." Jamie told me. I couldn't help but break out into a smile.

"Thank you Jamie, just trying to make sure I do my bit." I nodded.

"You've helped me a lot." Matty chimed in.

"Good to know." I chuckled.

"Well you can get back to your work now. I'll speak to Lax and let him know he's out. If he gives you anymore bother then let us know." Jamie warned me. He sounded like such a dad.

"I shall do." I said getting up and leaving the office. I glanced over at Lax, he looked up and gave me a smile. It sent shivers down my spine, he still didn't seem to get it did he. He'll be gone now anyway.

I was about to head to my desk when I heard my name being called out, I turned to see Matty walking over to me. "Sorry I told him, I know you said it's fine but I do feel bad for doing it when you told me not to yet." He mumbled.

"It's fine Matty. You did something I was clearly too much of a pussy to do." I shrugged. He smiled slightly and dipped his head.

"I just didn't feel right knowing how creepy he's been to you and the fact he would be in the same room as you every day without you being able to do much." He said, lowering his voice so no one could really hear him.

"I can handle myself, don't get me wrong." I smirked at him.

"I don't doubt that, just trying to avoid you having to get to that point." I stared at him for a second.

"Since when did you become my protector?" I grinned.

"Don't flatter yourself, I'd do it for anyone." He smirked back, I could feel the heat in my cheeks rising slightly. Jamie exited his office and walked over to where Lax was, they spoke for a second and then both walked back over to Jamie's office. I could feel Lax staring at me as he walked. I didn't like the look he had on his face though and from the looks of it, Matty didn't either.
