I'm Sorry(a Matthew Espinosa fanfic)

Chapter 4

Before I knew it, Matt was shaking me to wake up because we were at the airport already. We got inside the airport and said goodbye to my dad.

We got through everything pretty quickly and once we got to our gate, Matt headed straight for Starbucks. I was way too tired to follow him so I just sat down in the uncomfortable airport chairs.

About 5 minutes later, Matt walks up with a cup holder full of different kinds of Starbucks drinks.

"I have one venti hot chocolate for Haley," he said handing my sister her cup. "I have a grande pike but in a venti cup, filled with non fat milk and 2 splendas." he says handing my mom her drink.

"Thank you Matt, you didn't have to buy me coffee." my mom said going to her purse to pay him back.

"Nope, it's fine. You're bringing me to South Dakota for a family event. I want to make it up to you because I'm not family." He tells my mom and she nods.

He hands me my venti caramel frappuccino with extra caramel and as I take it I tell him, "But you are family Matt. You're my family."

He just smiles and takes his venti caramel frappuccino out of the cup holder and goes to throw it away.

He makes his way back to me and I put my head onto his shoulder watching him on twitter and sipping my drink.

I would occasionally see him look over to my mom and sister to make sure they were okay.

"I'm boreddddddddddddd. Matttttttt, lets go walk around." I say standing up and going to tell my mom we were going to walk around for a bit. She just nods.

She hasn't said much, I mean I understand why though. Her baby brother died. Jovin is dead.

As we were walking around, Matt asked, "Hey are you okay?"

I just shook my head and the tears started falling, again.

Matt just pulled me into another hug. God his hugs were the best.

We made our way back to our gate just in time for them to start boarding our plane.

When Matt and I looked at our tickets, I had the window seat and Matt sat right next to me.

Once we got situated, Matt said, "Hey, you should try to get some sleep."

"It's okay. I'm not going to be able to sleep anyways, but you should get some sleep. I'll wake you up when we're landing." I said forcing a smile.

"If you're not going to sleep then neither am I." He said with a smile, trying to cheer me up. "I need to be there for you, and if that means I don't sleep, then I don't sleep."

"Thank you Matt." I said as I turned my head and looked out the window as the plane was taking off.

I felt Matt watching me about a half an hour after we took off and I just looked over and said, "Why do you keep staring at me?"

"Because you look like you want to cry, and I want you to know that it's okay to cry. I'm here for you if you need me." Matt said while grabbing my hand and squeezing it tight.

We ended up watching whatever movie they were playing for the rest of the flight.
