She (THEY 1/3) completed

Chapter 20

Neil got news from the hospital, about Arch and Regina.

And so, apparently, Arch needs to be in hospital for at least two more weeks, and Regina isn't waking up.

And doctors think she won't wake up.

It's too impossible, after an accident like that.

Why didn't I just use my powers to stop the big truck from crashing with our car? Could I even do it?
I can only stop electronic cars, not trucks like that, so it wasn't entirely my fault.
It was Neil who said something to her, and she turned back to look at him.
Why?

Why did it had to happen, when I was starting to get more happy?

Mateo probably doesn't want anything to do with me now.

He hasn't even called me yet.

-"Sim, can you give me your phone?" Neil asked me, while I stared into the wall.

I gave it to him, not even bothering to ask something about it.

And I continued staring at the interesting wall, hoping that my problems would just go away.

Hoping that I wouldn't been born, that I would have done something useful, that I wouldn't have these powers- there were a lot of things that were wrong with me.

I just couldn't count them all.

I heard the front door opening and someone's footsteps as they came into the kitchen, but I didn't bother to look.

That someone coughed, and yes, that was Mateo.

Always helping me out.

I can't even do anything in return.

I'm useless.

-"Sim-" He started bug I cut him off.

-"I'm fine." With 'I'm fine' bullshit.

-"If you don't want to talk about it, then just say so." He said, walking closer to me. -" Don't just lie and say it's fine."

There was a long pause of silence, after ha said that.

I just didn't know what to say.

-"I don't-" I let my tear slip. "-I don't know. Can we just cuddle?" I let my hopeful, defenses voice slip out too.

-"Sure. Let's go to your room, Sim." Mateo said, and gently wrapped his arm around me to led us to my room.

When he opened the doors to my room I immediately went over to bed and fell in it on my back, closing my eyes. I her Mateo chuckle.

Soon I feel myself going to one side, and I knew Mateo just fell in the bed too.

I open my eyes and look at Mateo, who just smirks and holds out his arms towards me.

I chuckle and roll over to him, wrapping both my arms and legs around him, holding him more tightly when he tries to move.

-"Sim. You have a death grip." Mateo said quietly and chuckled, still not letting me go.

-"Why are you even here? How did you-" i heard him snort. "-Neil." I said.

Yes, of course he would call him.

-"Why did you came? Don't you have work?" I asked, trying to calm down my breathing.

-"I do have to work, but it's you Sim. I had to come." He quietly said, and I frowned.

Why would he care if it's me or someone else?

And somebody had to write me a message.

"Don't have sex in this house, Sim."

From Neil. Of course.

And Mateo got a message too.

Mateo chuckled about it. I furrowed my brow when he looked at me and he showed me the screen where he was chatting with Neil.

"She's still underage, MATEO."

-"He's an ass." I said and showed him my chat with Neil, where the message about not having sex in this house was.

Mateo now really started to laugh, and his grip losened, and me, being me, I pouted.

-"He just really cares about you, baby." Mateo smiled softly, and I already loved this side of him.

Soft and caring, and relaxed, not worrying about anything.

I sighed.

Why would he be with a hyperactive bomb like me?

That right, he has no reasons.

-"Shouldn't you be going home?" I asked, not wanting to destroy our friendship with sleeping in each other's bed.

-"Already want to get ride of me, baby?" Mateo asked and grinned, thought I saw something flicker in his eyes when he looked at me, but soon it was gone.

-"No, I want you to stay-" I said and suddenly remembered that we have school tomorrow. "-Oh shit, school."

-"Don't curse, Sim." Mateo said, thought he didn't really meant it.

-"Whatever you say pretty boy." I smiled when gave him my reply.

He rolled his eyes at me.

And I wrote back a message to Neil.

"No worries! We are using condoms anyway."

Soon Neil is bathing in my room, while I just laugh my ass off, and the two boys are staring at me, Neil half pissed half, half laughing, Mateo, really confused.

I almost fell down from my bed when I chuckled, and I finally tried to stop it.

-"Sim, are you sure you're okay?" Mateo asked, looking at me like I'm crazy.

And I was, kinda.

-"She texted me back that no worries, you're using condoms." Neil finally grinned, and it only took Mateo a little time to understand what he said.

And now we all were chuckling along.

-"Seriously guys, I'm inviting Laina, so get your asses out of this room and to the living room." Neil said, and smiled, bringing his phone out.

I nodded and got up from my position, allowing Mateo to also get up.

I walked to the living room and sat on the couch, waiting for Mateo who got lost somewhere behind.

Finally he comes in and I got up from my seat to let him fall on the couch in a sleeping position, then I fall on top of him, closing my eyes and smiling.

I feel Mateo bringing his hands around my waist, and I snuggle closer.

Soon Neil comes in with Laina, and they occupy the other couch, with Laina in Neils lap and Neil hugging her tightly.

We choose a movie, but I'm all focused on Mateo, feeling him breathing beneath me.

Maybe- just maybe, we could work.
