Perfect // M.E

Chapter 2

Recap-
And there goes my heart
~
Matthew Espinosa has been my crush for a while. I've never told anyone besides Nash and Hayes, but that was before we moved. We met him on a trip to Virginia. We grew a special bond, but not like him and Abby, apparently.

Anyways it's too late now, what am I supposed to say? "Oh well cool I can't help you" I lied "but why? You have always helped me, even that time you had the flu" she whined giving me the puppy eyes. Truth is she's been on a lot of dates and I've always helped her no matter what.

"Well today I just don't fell well" I said not being a complete lie, it's just the thought of them making me sick. "Well let me give you a ride home" she said, clearly not seeing the pain in my eyes. "No I'd rather wall home "okay" she sighed knowing I'm a stubborn person.

I walked out of the front doors of the school. I saw Nash and his friends, I could tell they were about to leave. I was half way across the parking lot without being seen when... "HEY CECE!" Sam yelled which caused everyone to turn around. I got a chorus of hellos and hey's. That's when I noticed Matthew was there too.

I just waved at them and tried to continue my journey but Nash ran up to me "hey are you walking home... alone?" Usually I wouldn't have answered but I wanted to get home. So in order to do that I would have to respond. I just nodded my head.

I haven't talked to him in so long he probably doesn't remember what I sound like. "Are you and Abby in a fight? I could take you home". I shook my head in protest. "Well alright then" Nash returned back to his friends, said there goodbyes and left.

He would get home in ten minutes. The school school wasn't very far from my house but walking took way longer like 40 to 45 minutes.

I walked home. I shut the door and slid my back against the door, tears rolling down my face. I heard footsteps coming down the stairs. "Cece?" "Cece what's wrong? Two strong arms were wrapped around me. Nash. "Shh it's gonna be okay" as much as I hated him I just need a shoulder to cry on.

I cried for a good 10 minutes. He kept whispering things that were supposed to make me calm down. But nothing worked. He kept saying it would be okay, as if he knew what I was crying about.

Wether he knew or not it didn't matter, nothing was ever going to be okay. My best friend was going on a date with my crush. I should have told Matthew when I had the chance. I should have told Abby but being the idiot I am, I didn't.

It's too late now. I can't stop them. As soon as I calmed down a little bit, Nash tried asking what was wrong. I didn't answer. He was about to ask again.

Until we were interrupted by... Him
