dont worry about me

Matts POV:
instead of going to my room, i went to chris's.

i knock on the door before walking in.

"hey" i speak. the light is off and he's laying on his side in his bed.
he doesnt answer me. i walk over and sit on his bed.
"you wanna talk?"i ask but i hear him shake his head.
i sigh and get up from his bed,
"dont go" he says quietly, i can tell he'd been crying.

i slowly sit back down, and lay beside him.

"what if something bad happens?" he says quietly after a long silence, a little choked up.
"trust me i've thought about that too" i respond to him, thinking about what i was doing just a few minutes ago.

"what are we going to do if something bad happens, matt? what the fuck would we do?" he pleads.
"i dont know..." i answer quietly.

there is a very long silence, and i think chris fell asleep after a while. i get up and start to walk away.

"matt?" i hear a small voice say from across the room, i turn around.
"promise me you wont cut anymore."
how the fuck did he know i did. "how d-"
"just promise." he cuts me off.
i stare at him for a minute, then nod. "i promise"

look, i know i shouldnt make promises i know i cant keep.
i know that.
but he shouldnt worry about me.
i'm not the one that he should worry about.

i'm fine.
