i woke up in my bed. i guess matt must have carried me up here. surprisingly my door was unlocked. i went downstairs to see matt flipping pancakes. he wasn't wearing a shirt and had a bathing suit on.

"morning. i'm going to spend the day outside in the pool and the yard. if you want to join me there's a bathing suit or two in your room."

"um, yeah sure i'll eat and then come out." i replied

he smiled at me. okay he actually smiled at me for once, that's new.

i've been here for about two weeks so i knew my way around the kitchen by now. i grabbed a bowl, some cereal and milk. i quickly ate and went back up to my room to changed. i searched through the draws finally finding a bikini. i put it on and headed back downstairs and outside.

matt was laying on a float in the pool. there were two lounge chairs on the side of the pool. i laid down and closed my eyes hoping to catch up on my sleep a little more.

i opened my eyes when i felt myself being lifted up and thrown in to the pool. i looked at matt who stood at the edge of the pool laughing.

"you think you're funny?"

"yep" he laughed

i got out of the pool and ran to where he was pushing him in but he grabbed my arm and pulled me in with him. we both surfaced and started laughing. we spent the day in the pool messing around. it was weird spending time with matt considering the circumstances but i rather spend my last days doing fun things rather than being locked in my room.

i had changed back into sweats and hoodie. matt had a bonfire in the backyard and we were sitting around it. i was petting burnie.

"i see you like him now"

"yeah he's a cutie" i smiled "i'm gonna go get water"

i got up and started walking to the kitchen but i tripped over something and fell on the concrete.

"fuck" i yelled

i could feel blood coming from my nose, i brought my hand up covering it. matt got up and came over to me.

"are you okay?" he asked, i felt like there was a hint of worry in his voice

"my nose really hurts"

tears started brimming my eyes. everything was starting to hit me and it was too much.

"let me see" he replied, slowly pulling my hand away "let's go get you cleaned up, okay?"

i nodded and he took my hand helping me off the ground. we walked to the bathroom. matt told me to jump up and sit on the counter which i did. he grabbed a wet cloth and some tissues. he slowly started wiping the blood off my face. i winced when he touched my nose.

"sorry"

"it's okay" i replied

he finally finished. my nose was still hurting. everything was getting to me and i let tears fall from my eyes and slide down my face. i started to sob thinking about my family.

"what's wrong?"

"i want to go home"

"hannah" matt sighed

i jumped off the counter and tried going to my room but matt blocked the door.

"move please move"

he moved out of the way and i ran to my room. i got under the covers and let all my emotions. there was a knock on my door.

"go away!" i yelled

my door opened.

"please leave me alone"

"burnie wants to stay with you."

burnie ran in and jumped onto my bed curling up next to my body.

"you're going to pass out with the way you're breathing." matt said

"i don't care. please go away."

matt sighed and walked out of the room leaving the door open a crack.

"i-i just want to g-go home."
