Forever.

•Chapter 37•

*Emily's POV*
I felt a hand grab my shoulder. I jumped then realized it was Matt. He sat beside me and I burst into tears. He had a black eye and was bleeding. "I'm so sorry Matt" I said crying into his chest" he just sat there running his fingers through my hair. "Who was that guy anyways?" He asked me. "Ryan. Where do I start? Well at first we dated. I thought I was in love with him" I laughed just by thinking of that "then we broke up cause I caught him with another girl. Then it all sort of went downhill from there. He turned into my bully. Then he started to push me around and was kind of abusive. That was the only reason I wanted to move" I said looking at my trembling hands. Matt pulled me in for a hug which made me cry again. He pulled away and I brought him to a bathroom to get him cleaned up. It was a really crappy staff bathroom in 7 Eleven. I wet a paper towel and started wiping Matt's face. He stared at me while I was doing this. "Why was I so lucky to get you?" He asked me. "I thought I was the lucky one" I replied smirking. Then I finished cleaning the blood and leaned in and kissed his black eye. "So it will get better" I explained myself. Then we walked out and went back to the carnival. We looked for the boys and found them at a dart game. "Want to try Emily?" I heard Taylor say. "No I suck at these games" I replied laughing. Then Matt put 5 dollars on the counter and got 7 darts. If he got 5 darts in the red stars he should get a big prize. If he got only 3 darts in the red stars then he got a small prize. "Step aside amateurs" said Matt pushing the boys out of the way. He got six darts in the stars and got a huge cute teddy bear. Then he walked over to me and handed it to me. "You shouldn't have" I said kissing his cheek. "Anything for you" he replied. "Stop with that sappy love shit" said Taylor. "You're just jealous" said Matt kissing me. Then we all headed back to the hotel room. I put my teddy bear on my bed and admired it just as Matt walked in. "We are all going night swimming on the beach" He said throwing me one of my bikinis. "Ok" I said walking into the bathroom to change. I came out and got a towel. "Ready?" Asked Matt. "Yep" I replied. Then we went to the Jacks room and met up with the guys. Again we had to wait for Taylor but eventually we got to leave. We reached the beach when I heard a beer bottle smash. For some reason my head was wet. Is it raining? "Emily" I heard someone scream in the distance. Then for some reason my legs went wobbly and I fell. I smashed my head on the ground but I didn't feel anything. Matt came over and started shaking me "Emily please, I love you. Please" he cried. Then everything went black.
