*Makayla's POV*
Matt's mood seems to have shifted. He seemed angry and upset after I told him. He hardly touched his food at dinner. Now I'm sat in my room with absolutely nothing to do. I can't cut tonight. I just don't have the ability. I can't sleep because Matt is so upset. But worst I can't talk to Matt.
He is too upset. And it's all my fault. My clock reads 9pm. Have I really been sitting here for three hours? I shake my head. My life is a mess.
*Matt's POV*
Makayla went to her room after dinner. I feel like she's avoiding me. I sigh as I sit down on the couch. I turn the TV on but I just can't focus on it. Even though there is a football game on. All I can do right now is bury my head in my hands. What am I doing wrong? How the hell do I raise a 16 year old girl when I'm only 19? Why did my parents have to die?
I sniff back a few tears and reach for the remote turning the TV off. I get up and walk to my room. As I walk past Makayla's room, I thought why not take a peak. I slowly crack the door seeing the light on. Before I open it all the way I give the door three light taps. In response a groan comes from the room.
I open the door and there's Makayla sitting on the bed knees tucked to her chest.
"You okay?" I ask.
*Makayla's POV*
"You okay?" Matt asks
No.
"Yeah I'm fine."
"Mac…"
"Yes?"
"Can I uh… Talk to you?" He asks. I wave him over. He comes over and sits on the edge of my bed. Are his eyes… watery?
"Were you crying?"
"No." he says quickly.
"Yes you were."
"Maybe. Makayla that's not what I want to talk about."
"Well then what is it?" I retort quickly.
"Don't get pissy with me…" He says glaring at me.
"Sorry." I mumble. He takes a deep breath.
"Mac. I know I can't protect you-"
"I never asked you t-"
"Let me finish." He says getting back at me for cutting him off. "I know I can't protect you and I wis I could. But you're 16 and you have to deal with things on your own. Same goes for me. But… If things like this happen you need to tell me. Got it?" he says looking to me with sincere eyes.
"I kno-"
"Don't tell me you know. Just tell me you will…"
"Matt, I will…" I say making intense eye contact.
"Pinkie promise?" He says sticking out his pinkie.
"Matt thats for five year-"
"I don't care." he says quietly yet forcefully. I reach my pinkie out interlocking it with his. With that he pulls me forward with my pinkie causing me to fall practically on top of him from my sitting position. Just for a hug. A tight one. "I love you Mac." he says in a brotherly way. (Not incest. Pervs)
"I love you too Matthew But can you let me go I can't breath." I say in a strained voice. He laughs letting me go and fall back to my pillows.
"You wanna stay home tomorrow?" he asks
"Nah. I'm okay." I lie. I really really want to stay home.
"Okay. Goodnight squirt."
"Stop calling me that!!!" I yell throwing a pillow at him which he deflects laughing. I swear he does that just to make me angry.
