|He Saw Me| A Matt Lintz Fanfiction

Chapter 24

*Matt's P.O.V*

"What's on your mind, Matt?" My mom asked as we were in the living room.

After Alex had gone to work, I was stressed out about the situation that was happening. It made me panic and I wasn't sure what to do. It made me confused and I knew that I had to come here to hopefully get some advice from my mom.

"College." I simply said.

"What about college?"

"Where do I even start?" I questioned. "I'm not sure what to do. A couple months ago, I got accepted into Auburn. But I turned it down so that it can be better for Alex and myself. I registered for classes here in Georgia but lately, I keep thinking that maybe I'm making the wrong decision."

"What is your heart telling you?" My mom asked.

I shrugged. "That's what is making me question everything. Since I have like a million things being said to me."

"Then ask yourself this, Matt. Will you be miserable if you take classes here in Georgia?"

"That is what's making me confused. I had a dream a few days ago where I was applying for another job because I wasn't going to school there. Then after I applied for the new job, the world seemed to have gone dark. Macsen was telling me that maybe that's a sign that maybe I need to rethink everything." I explained.

"Matthew, college isn't easy." My mom said as she put her hand on my shoulder.

I nodded. "I know, mom."

"Do you really?"

Do I really know that college isn't easy? Unless I've been telling myself that and I never truly understood until now.

"Maybe I don't." I said. "But I guess that is what makes life challenging."

My mom nodded. "That's always why you have decisions like this to make. It won't be easy at first but then you'll know the answer."

"So how will I know that I actually want to go to Auburn and not college here in Georgia?"

"You would just have to listen to your heart. So that you'll then be able to know what's important. Everyone knows that Alex means a lot to you. What would she think?" My mom asked.

I looked at her. "That is what also makes it hard. Since I want what's best for Alex and I. We can't just move there."

My mom nodded. "What else?"

"She loves being here in Georgia. She's enjoying life. She shouldn't have to be stressed out about what's happening in my life."

"But she will be because she loves you." Mom said. "She's always going to worry about you."

My mom is right. Alex will always worry about me even though I sometimes tell her that she deserves to just live life and not worry about a thing.

I know that I will have to make my decision soon. But what will it be?

"Matt." I heard my mom say and I looked up at her. "I know that you will make the right decision. No matter what it is."

And I knew that my mom was telling me the truth. I would make the right decision in this situation.

I nodded. "Thanks mom for the advice."

"Anytime, Matt." She smiled.

"Did you want anything to eat before you head back to the apartment?"

"Well what is there to eat?" I asked her and we both went to the kitchen.

"I can make some chicken sandwiches with fries really quick." She said.
