Broken: A Matthew Espinosa Fanfiction

Chapter Two

*Matts POV*

I walked into the bathroom and opened the drawer under the sink. I pulled out the old altoids box from underneath my toothpaste. I'm surprised Dylan never looked inside, but I'm also glad. I pulled out my razor. My only friend. A tear brimmed my eye. "I'm s-sorry Nash." I stuttered. "I know I promised I wouldn't do it again. B-but I can't stop." I made four cuts on my arm. Each deeper than the last. "just listen to what Carter said. You're worthless Matt. Worthless." I rinsed my cuts off and went to bed.

*dream*

"Hey Nash, Cam wants you t-
NASH" I screamed looking at him on the bathroom floor with a pill bottle in his hand. "Matt," Nash whispers, "I'm sorry. Don't even try to call 911 it's too late. Just tell Hayes I love him and tell the guys I'm sorry." I was crying by now. "Just promise me Matt, you'll never end up like me. Please." He cried. "I promise Nash, I promise." Nash's eyelids fluttered shut and with that he was gone.

*end dream*

I woke up in a cold sweat to my alarm going off.

Time to go to jail- I mean school.

I look in the mirror and see my face,
Tear stained and bruised. My eye still swollen from where Carter punched me last week. My ribs still hurt, I think they might be bruised, but I deserve it. I guess I'll leave now. Here goes nothing.

*?'s POV*

I saw him walk into the school. I feel bad for Matt. Constantly being picked on. Carter always punches him and kicks him.

It makes me sick.

How could you just turn on your best friend and treat him like a piece of shit.

Carter really doesn't realize what he's done to Matthew. Nobody does.

But you can tell by the way he walks with his head down, how his clothes are wrinkled, his hair is tangled in front of his face,

That Matthew Espinosa is broken.

And it's all because of my boyfriend.

"Rose!" Carter yells, "Come on, you're gonna want to see this."

I roll my eyes. "Fine Carter but it better be good."

"Oh it will be," he says, pecking me on the lips. "Trust me."

I follow my boyfriend into the crowd of my laughing classmates. Carter pushes a couple kids down on his way to the front of the crowd. When I could finally see what was happening, I felt sick to my stomach.

Matthew.
On the floor.
Lying unconscious in a pool of blood. I know that sounds really gross but it's the truth.
Kids where laughing at his limp lifeless body.
"Look at the depression freak,"
"He's so nasty."
"No wonder he has no friends."
"Worthless"
"Ugly"
"Nothing"

I couldn't stand to see this happen. But, my reputation is more important than helping that kid.

At least I think so...
