I'm Fine //Matthew Espinosa

Chapter 12

"There is no easy way to say this but....." He bent down and put his hands on my knees still revealing his toned abs.

"What Matt?" I said worried.

"Your dad has kidnapped your brothers" Tears started streaming down my face. It felt like someone had just ripped out my heart stepped on it and hit it with a sledgehammer a million times.

"Brooke look at me. Talk to me."
I tried to say something but nothing came out. Instead I just cried in his shoulder.

He rubbed small circles on my back and played with my hair. I stumbled up to my feet and walked to his car. I felt like I had the air knocked out of me. I tried to speak but nothing came out.

We pulled up into his driveway and he brought me in his house. His parents weren't home so we were alone. NOT LIKE THAT GET YOUR MIND OUT OF THE GUTTER.

We walked upstairs to his room and I sat on his bed. He went downstairs and got food. I got up and looked for something sharp. I found a box of razors and took the sharpest one. I was just about to drag it along my wrist when Matt knocked it out of my hand.

"M-M-Matt I-I'm s-sorry." I stuttered.

He picked me up and brought me over to the bed. He gently put me down and he put in the movie. We were watching Up the Disney movie. Matt might be seventeen but he is a kid at heart.

Half way through the movie I fell asleep, but I was quickly woken up when I heard a loud banging.

"Matt what was that?"

"I don't know?"

"I'm scared."

"It's okay."

"Hey sweetie you home?" His mom screamed.

"Yeah mom you scared us."

"Sorry honey." She said coming into Matt's room and noticing I was asleep.

"Sorry." She said and the rest was a blur.

I woke up the next morning next to Matt.

"Morning baby."

"Morning Matt."

"How are you feeling."

"Worried."

"It will be okay."

"I don't know he is scary."

"I'll keep you safe."

"No you won't."

"Why not?"

"Because your putting yourself in danger and I don't want you to get hurt."

"I don't care."

"But I do. I don't wanna see you get hurt okay. Oh and why do you have razors."

"I already told you I used to cut."

"Oh."

"We need to go to school."

"Screw school."

"I'm good with that."

I put my head on his chest.

"Before you fall back asleep would you like some comfy clothes?" He asked.

"Sure."

He laughed. "I really love your accent it's so cute."

"Thanks, have you ever been to Texas?"
I asked while stripping of my clothing and putting his on.

He stared at my cut and bruised body.

"What?"

"Your body is beautiful."

"I don't know I wish these scars and bruises would go away."

"Even with them you look beautiful." I smiled.

"Thanks Matt. You really no how to make me smile."

"What ever the problem I will always be there for you."

"Thanks."

"No problem Brooke."

"I love you"

"Love you too." He said back.

I cuddled up to him and fell into a deep sleep.
