  "Matt?" I asked, slowly inching into his room.
  "Y/n?" He asked, looking up from his phone and sitting up. "Is everything ok?"
  "Oh yeah, I just can't fall asleep." I answered.
  "Oh... Uh," he started.
  "Can we just like watch a movie or something?" I asked.
  "Yeah, totally," He said, pulling the comforter back on the side of the bed he wasn't laying on. I laid down and put my phone in the socket next to the bed and plugged my phone in.
  "What do you wanna watch?" He asked, looking over at me.
  "Hmmm, how about the new Matilda, like the musical one?"
  "Fuck no!" He responded.
  "Uh fuck yes! Matilda is amazing!" I argued.
  "No. Just no. I don't like Matilda"
  "Well, I don't like you." I said, turning the opposite direction of him dramatically. I laid there for about a minute and a half before hearing the beginning of Matilda. I turned back over towards Matt and just looked into his blue eyes. I smirked and he rolled his eyes, facing towards the screen.

Matt's pov:

  As y/n turned the other direction I knew she was kidding when she said she didn't like me, yet it still hurt like a stab to the heart. I felt bad since she couldn't sleep so I turned on Matilda.

  Not even half way into the movie I feel a head land on my shoulder. I look over and see y/n fast asleep. I let her stay there and try to fall asleep myself but I just can't.

  A few minutes later y/n moved and her head was on my chest now. She was so cute. Her rosy cheeks and long blond hair. Not to mention her perfect eyes. I couldn't even see them but I didn't have to. They were engraved into my brain and they had been since the first time my eyes met hers. Just thinking about her comforted me. Slowly, my eyes fluttered and I was out cold.

The next morning:

  My eyes fluttered open and I started to stand up before realizing y/n was still laying on my chest. I really had to use the restroom though so I lifted her head and placed it into the pillow next to me. Then I stood up but was stopped my a hand on my arm pulling me back into the bed.

  "No, stay right here!" Y/n groaned. Her morning voice was so cute. It made my heart flutter for a second.
  "I can't, I have to use the restroom but I'll be right back, k?"
  "Fine..." She groaned, twisting around to face the other direction. I used the restroom and then saw that she looked fast asleep so I decided to go see if my brothers were awake. Not even halfway out my door I was stopped though.
  "Where are you going ?" Y/n asked. "You said you'd be right back..." She said.
  "Ok fine!" I smiled, climbing back in bed. Then she laid her head back on me and her arm followed and wrapped around my stomach. "Wait, is that my hoodie?" I asked, noticing what she was wearing.
  "Uhm maybe..." She smiled, cutely. I laughed under my breath and grabbed my phone to check the time. 7:30?! WHO WAKES UO THAT EARLY?!?

  I decide I am definitely gonna go back to sleep but one thing was stopping me. When we were in the hospital y/n was on her phone and then looked really upset once she put it down. All I wanted to do was hug her. I wanted to hug her as tight as possible but I didn't because if she wasn't actually upset that may have been pretty awkward so instead I decided to ask her.
  "Y/n?" But I was cut off before getting to finish. But I watched her plaster on a smile. It broke me to see that she thought she had to fake a smile around us. Around anyone.

So I took this time now to ask her about it.

  "Hey, y/n?" I said as looked up at me.
  "Yeah?" She smiled. I sat up and so did she. I sat cris cross and so did she and then we faced eachother. She was still smiling but it dropped once she noticed my expression.
  "So you know how we were like in the hospital and stuff and you picked up your phone and were really upset?" I began and she shook her head. "well I wanted to ask you what happened or give you a hug or something but I was cut off so I thought i should ask... What made you so sad... or upset?"
  "It's nothing-" she started but I cut her off.
  "No, don't t say that. Don't say that because I know it's not true and I want you to be able to tell me stuff. If you don't want to tell me you don't have to but don't lie to me... Please."
  "Matt..." She started but began tearing up. I immediately pulled her in for a hug. I hugged her tight and she wrapped her arms around me and returned the hug as tears ran down her eyes and into my shirt. She pulled away and dried her eyes.
  "Fuck... I'm sorry I didn't mean to get your shirt all wet." She apologized.
   "No no don't be sorry it'll dry." I said and she smiled. I smiled back, trying to make her feel better. We just stared at eachother for a bit. Her eyes were so perfect, just as I remembered them. They were the most beautiful shade of green I had ever seen. They could pay for the moon, stars, and sun all at once. They were bright but subtle and they had the perfect splash of emerald. Soon, she broke the silence.
  "It was Jake." She said in one swift sentence.
  "What?" I asked, my body filling with anger.
  "He texted me... A bunch, and I broke up with him but I don't think he's good with that..."
  "Well he's gonna have to be!" I said, getting even more mad.
  "Matt calm down. It's ok, we will be ok." She said, laughing. We just sat and talked for a bit. Eventually she told me why she was here in the first place. It made me so sad to hear. I can't believe she got kicked out because of a decision that I had also made. I was so mad. But I was also sad. I was mad that anyone could do that to an amazing, gorgeous girl like y/n but I was sad that she didn't get to see her parents every day. I mean if I miss my parents all it takes it the press of a button in my phone and I can talk to them for hours but y/n can't even say hi.
  "Hey Matt?" She said sitting back up after she had been laying on my arm.
  "Yeah?" I asked.
  "Will you come with me to the hospital today?"
  "Uhm I guess, what for?"
  "Oh, I didn't tell you, did I?"
  "I guess not.."
  "Well basically the whole reason I moved down here was to be closer to my grandma because she has cancer and needs help around the house sometimes. Plus, we don't know how much longer we have with her so we wanted to spend as much time with her as possible. Anyway, she is in the hospital right now and I really wanna see her, can we please go?"
  "Of course we can!" I said, hugging her. So we got up and began getting ready since by now it was 9:30.
