Behind his smile...

Chapter 25

Sarah's p.o.v.

I woke up the next morning still in Matt's arms and sitting on my bean bag chair.

I was confused when I first woke up and I instantly remembered everything that happened.

From Matt coming into my room, to him basically telling me that he wants someone that he can trust.

I was sort of uncomfortable and started to slip out of Matt's arms.

Once as I was out of his grip he woke up.

He stood up quickly once his eyes were open.

"What the fuck?" He said in a confused morning voice.

"Uh." I s all I say because I have no idea what to say.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck. NO! Fuck no! THIS IS NOT REAL!!!" He said.

"What's wrong?" I ask.

"Sarah? The fuck is wrong with you?" He asked me.

"What? What do you fucking mean?" I ask.

"I mean why the fuck were you sleeping with me?" He asks.

"How'd you know I was sleeping with you?" I start "I woke up before you!" I finish.

"Yes but when you got up I could feel my legs again." He said.

"Oh whatever." I said.

"Really I mean it was like I had an elephant on my lap." He said.

"Ok but really, you can't tell ANYONE, and I mean ANYONE, that I came to you. Got me?" He demanded instead of asking.

"What? I'm so confused." I said.

" I mean that you can't tell anyone that I was here, no one. Like don't even talk to me about it." He said getting up.

"Your so fucked up in the mind." I said to him.

"I'm well aware. But I'm serious, if people knew that I was with you at night, my reputation will drop!" He said seriously.

"Like I would tell anyone that I was with you at night." I said.

"Good, cause I wouldn't want people to think we had sex." He said putting his hand over his chest.

"Oh what ever!" I said.

"Just get out." I said.

"Ok, but Sarah?" When he said my name he sounded as if he were breaking.

"Yea?" I ask softly.

"You snore really loud!" He said climbing out of my window and down a ladder.

"Uh. Well it's not the worst thing he could've said. But I thought it would have been something about last night." I said to myself.

I looked at the time seeing that it was 10:30 and realized that I had work today at 1:00.

I washed my face and went downstairs to have breakfast.

"Good morning Sarah, sleep well?" My dad asked.

"Eh, I've had better." I said getting cereal out of the pantry.

"Well I have a job interview today." He said sipping on his coffee.

"Really? That's great! Where at?" I asked happily.

My dad hasn't had a job since before thanksgiving.

"It's at a small company downtown." He said.

"Oh, ok." I said grabbing the cinnamon toast crunch from the pantry.

"Yea so if I get this job, than it'll be a much happier household." He said.
