One last dance?

- Masquerade ball - ( Chapter 2 )

There he was. Matthew Stone. However he seemed different? His tie was undone and his blazer was nowhere to be seen ... his hair was messy and he didn't have his famous smile on his face.

"Matthew ?." i needed to make sure he is okay.

"hm?" He didn't even look up. i don't think he even knows it's me that's standing over him.

"Matthew are you alright?.." i ask.

He finally looks up. His face lights up when he realises who was standing in-front of him.

"Oh ! my deepest apologies ma'am . I wasn't sure if  it was you , you're not in pink." His words were slurred . He's been drinking.

"You need to go home stone." I need him  to listen to me. He can't be walking around his parents drunk.

"i didn't bring my car " he said while playing with the keys, He's definitely drunk. I need to do something , he needs to get away from everyone . Now.
"Dance with me!" He most definitely can't dance right now. Not in his condition. His plea makes my heart skip a beat and I feel warm and at ease despite his sickening breath .
"just one dance ? Like we used to when we were kids" I can't let this happen .

"Listen to me matthew. you are going to come with me to my bedroom. Do not talk to anyone . Do not look at them. Do you understand?"

He tilts his head down a bit before stumbling forward. Oh god.

We start to walk up to my bedroom , Now passing the laughter , music and smiles for the second time. Walking up the massive flight of stairs for the second time. Except this time i don't care if my skirt gets dirty or if i trip on it. My biggest concern is matthew , He was there for me when i needed him . Now i need to he there for him.

FInally we made it to my bedroom . He looks like he's going to fall over , After I helped him on my bed he opens his mouth , but no words come out .

"Kiss me" he says

"What?" I replied , i can feel myself turning red .

"Kiss me till I'm sick of you." He says while staring at my mask.

"Get a grip of yourself stone." I start to walk out the door ...

"Miss green where are you going?" He whispers .

"You need to sleep. You drank to much ." I reply

"Wrong answer."his words start to slur as I turn off the lights to head out .

"Please." He's caught my attention .

"What do you want stone ?"

...

"My head hurts Lilith"

My god he's such a baby. Well obviously your head hurts you drank about a gallon of alcohol .

I walk over to him and pass him my glass of water that I had sitting on my bedside for later .

(Despite the deep hatred that she had on Matthew she still cared about him.10 years she's known him. Her whole life she has known this boy. That is now lying in her bed .. sick and staring at her like she is saving his life.)

"Lilith please I need you." He could barely talk , his words were nearly indistinguishable.

I looks into his deep jade eyes  and sighed. The look of pure trust and neediness drew her in.

"What's wrong stone?."

"I didn't want the water love"

Excuse me ? "You need to sleep."

"I need you"

"No.  You don't even know what your saying You need to sleep stone-"

"Don't make me tell you again. I've loved you since the day I laid my eyes on you . I need you Lilith there are over 100 what guys out there , all they want is to use you and repay you in money , I would do anything for you."

I've never seen him is drunk before. I'm convinced he's going to black out any minute now ...
