"Hey um Indigo can I talk to you?" I request, "Yeah of course." she replies.

"So um, I like really really like you, like kinda a lot." I state, "Oh my God, I was just about to talk to you about this. I wanted to ask you to be my girlfriend because I literally like, really really like you too." she replies.

"Really?" I ask, "Yes you dumbass, now will you be my girlfriend or not?" she giggles, "Oh my fuck, really?" I ask.

"Yes now will you?" she laughs, "Ye-"

"Sweetie, come on, we have ramen in the kitchen!" I hear my dad shout from the other side of my door, I look around my room and Indigo hadn't been here. 

Now I KNOW I was not just imagining getting together with Indigo, a girl who I haven't seen since fucking 10th grade.

"K um coming!" I shout back, grabbing my black soft jacket and put it on over my clothes. Papa walks with me to the kitchen where as soon as I get in a seat, I check Instagram to check my latest post. 

I had imagined every fucking thing. I hadn't even posted the thing about needing a mom. Oh my fuck my imagination is going insane without Matt.

"Hey kiddo, you good?" Papa asks, tapping my leg, "Yep. Um have you talked to Matt?" I answer, "I did actually." he replies.

I knock on the door of the Sturniolo household, awaiting Matt's arrival. To my luck, he opens the door, welcoming me with a, "Hey Mr. David."

"Hey buddy, can I talk to you. You're not in trouble, I'm not gonna beat you up, I just came to talk." I chuckle, "Um yeah sure, let's just do it out here." he replies, joining me on the porch as he closes the door behind him.

"So what did you want to talk to me about?" he asks, "I think you know." I answer.

"Look, I mean this is the least disrespectful way possible, she cheated. I'm not going to be with someone who lies to me then cheats on me." he replies.

"So you really didn't listen." I mutter, "I saw everything." he shrugged, "You saw what Blake wanted you to see. Not what was true." I argue.

"Then tell me what the 'true' is then." he replies.

"Listen, Blake has been obsessed with Aria for eons, Payton had always wanted them together but Aria was always uncomfortable with it. You came along and you're the one for her. She really really likes you and it's not the same without you. She didn't cheat, Blake kissed her. She told me everything. He came on her and was forcing her to do that stuff and you just walked in when he kissed her. I have cameras in the house with mics, you don't think I'd be stupid enough to not check? I heard and saw everything and I can guarantee you, it was a mistake breaking up with her without letting her explain." I explain.

"God dammit! How could I be so stupid!" he shouts with anger, "You can fix it, y'know." I say, putting a hand on his shoulder.

"And how am I supposed to do that?! She said she could give two shits about me. She told me she doesn't need me and that I can fall of the face of the Earth!" he replies.

"Oh she did not." I say, "She did." he replies.

"I mean, she did not... mean it. She didn't mean it. Believe me, she was really happy with you and I'm not speaking for her, but I'm pretty sure she loves you." I state, "L- loves me?" he asks.

"Mhm." I hum, nodding my head.

"Fuck. Mr. David. I love her! I... love her? No..." he says, "Looks like you're going through shit, I'll let you think this through, you can come over tonight and fix this shit." I reply, patting his shoulder and walking back to the car.

"WAIT BUT MR. DAVID I DON'T LOVE HER!" He shouts, "YOU DO SON." I shout back.

"Wait he's coming over tonight?!" I exclaim after Papa tells the story, "Yep, so better get your pretty clothes on." he replies.

"PAPA! My room is a mess!" I exclaim, "He can help you clean it while you guys talk out your issues." he shrugs, finishing his food while I finish mine.

"DAD! HE'S GON-"

The doorbell rings.

"He's here." Papa smiles, "I hate you." I grumble, lazily walking to the front door.

"You said that about Matt too, look where ya at now." he smirks as I open the door with an eye roll.

"Um... hey Aria. I brought you lilies, I think these were the ones you liked." he says, "Here come in." I laugh, letting him in as he gives me the flowers.

"I'm sorry Aria. I'm so so sorry-"

"Tell me this in my room when my dad maybe isn't listening." I mutter. 

We both glance back at my dad who smiled and waved.

"Yeah okay." Matt chuckles before we both walk to my room.

"NO BA-"

"SHUT UP." 

"Continuing. I am like really really sorry for thinking you cheated and for saying all of that about you. I just, I knew you and Blake were closer than us two and I got really scared that you'd get with him and I know you said that you never get with Blake and how you only wanted me but I still couldn't help but fear that one day you would forget me and go to Blake. And it was wrong of me to call you a cheater and not believe you so, I am very truly deeply sorry are you and... I- I am- I... Love you..."

"I guess I forgive you." I joke, "After all of that? You guess?" he asks, smiling.

"No, I know. I do forgive you. And..." I start.

"I love you too." I smile, "You don't have to say that if you don't mean it. I don't want to pressure you into saying anything if-"

"Matt I am deeply in love with you and I am not pressured what so ever to tell you that I love you." I interrupt, "Aria will you be my girlfriend again?" he asks.

"Only if you promise to not assume anything about me cheating on you." I bargain, "Deal." he smiles.

"Then yes." I smile, leaning up to kiss him but he pulls away.

"What?" I ask, "You can't kiss me, I kiss you." he answers, then kisses me.

KIERA SPEAKS: i literally forgot the most important thing that happened today, so basically I was telling Madden and this random kid that I love them I'm like, "I love you Wilson." and he's like what? and so I'm like, "Actually, I'm in love with Madden." totally as a joke.

And then I told Madden I loved him again as I was going to the next class so I stood up while he stayed seated, he looked up at me, smiled and was like 'I love you too Kiera' and handed me this staple bracelet thing 😭 but yeah :)
