Broken: A Matthew Espinosa Fanfiction

Chapter Eight

*Matt's POV*
Today is the day I leave the hospital. I'm really glad to get out of here.

Rose visited me again yesterday and said she would pick me up at noon. I got dressed in the outfit that I had when I came here last week.

It was a little wrinkled, but fine. I heard a knock on the door and assumed it was Rose.

"Come in!" I yelled.

She opened the door and smiled at me. "ready to go?" She asked, "well what do you think?" I answered. We where always sarcastic with each other when we where friends.

She laughed. c'mon Matt, wanna go to Taco Bell?

"Duh. lets go."

We arrived at Taco Bell and ordered our food. I didn't get much because I wasn't very hungry.

We ate our food and went to Rose's house. We went up to her room and just talked for a while. It was nice considering that people never usually talk to me.

"Want to watch a movie Matt?" She asked me. "sure. I'm fine with whatever." I answered. she picked mean girls. We just laid on her bed for a while laughing and having a good time.

I glanced over at the clock and noticed it was 10:00 pm. "Uh rose I gotta get going it's pretty late."

"Oh yeah," she glanced at the clock noticing what time it was.
"I bet your parents are worried about you." she said.

I scratched the back of my neck. "Yeah I bet they're super worried." I said sarcastically.

"What do you mean Matt?" She questioned, "they do love you right?"

"Sure they love me enough to leave the country without any explanation and not come back for a year and a half. and if that's love then I guess my brother loves me too." I say to her.

She looks heartbroken. Rose runs over to me as a tear slips down her cheek. she gives me the biggest hug ever. "Matthew, I'm so sorry. I had no idea."

"It's fine." I answered.

"Why don't you stay here tonight." she says.

"But I don't have anything to wear and it's too much trouble for you to find a spare room,"

"Matt," she stops me. "I still have some of your clothes from, you know, when we where friends and you used to sleep over all the time. and I don't need to find a spare room, you can sleep in my bed with me." she says. "Plus my parents are out of town. it's no trouble at all."

"Ok" I answer. we both get ready for bed and go to her bed. "night Matt." she says to me.

I smile. "goodnight."

*Roses POV*

I wake up at 3:02 in the morning to an awful sound. it's Matt. he was screaming and crying in his sleep. he must be having a bad dream. "MATT!" I scream "WAKE UP!" His eyes jolt open and tears run down his face. I pull him into a hug. "Shhh it's ok. it's just a dream." I rub his back like he's a four year old and he stops crying. "you ok?" I ask him. he nods yes. I kiss his forehead and lay my head on his chest. "Do you want to talk about that dream you had?" I ask him. he shakes his head no. "ok." I say. "Just remember, I'm always here for you. I'm never going to leave you again." I say to him.
"Thank you." he answers. and with that we both drift off to sleep.
