Take Me Away (a fairy tail like story)

MATT!!!! :) chapter 2

"Matt!!" I scream when I see him as I walk into the cafeteria. I run up and give him the biggest hug I can manage before letting go of him.

"Ow, you almost broke my neck." he said rubbing his neck tenderly.

"I'm sorry, but you weren't here yesterday!" I whine to make sure he understands and give him a more gentle hug- only because I love having his arms around me.

Chris, the friend who is going to tell me of Luis is expelled or not, walks up and gives me a side hug and whispers in my ear. I can't quite understand what he says but I know what that he's telling me what I wanted to hear but not what I really wanted to know.

Luis was expelled. He was really gone.

I couldn't believe it. I was really free. I put a sad smile on my face for Chris's sake and Matt's. Just so I wouldn't seem like a total bitch to my boyfriend.

But......now I have to break up with him. My face fell as soon as I realized this. I'm not ready, I thought I was ready to do this but I'm never ready. Never for this.

"I knew he would be expelled soon, but I just didn't think that it would happen so soon. But, he made the decision that he did, so he'll have to live with it." I say as nicely as possible but it's hard when Matt is glancing at me under his lashes and giving me those butterflies in my stomach.

I give Chris another hug and tell him goodbye so I can have more time with Matt, Zack, and Sara. Mostly Matt, but they're my friends too, so I should be nice and not lean on Matt and just hold onto him like there's no tomorrow....

4th period

~•~•~•~•~•~•

"YES!" I scream quietly "Wi-Fi!!!"

"What's the password?" Alyssa, one of my friends, asks me.

"I'm sorry, I forgot to say. 'Free Wi-Fi!!' so....no password."

I say kinda rudely but I got the finger in return and my Wi-Fi, so I was set. Now all I need to do is send a message to Luis and hope he doesn't cry.

I get onto Facebook and searched for his name in my messages and clicked his name. I hope he doesn't hate me forever for this. I quickly tap my message onto my screen so I don't loose my Wi-Fi source because I know it's a student.

I turn my music on, put my headphones into my ears and turn up the song I'm playing on my tablet. Which turns out to be 'Comatose' by Skillet.

♪ And the more I hide I realize I'm slowly losing you, Comatose, I will never wake up without an overdose, of you ♪

"I am speaking to you." Helen, my best friend since third grade, says ripping out my ear bud. "Are you ok?"

I just glare at her and put the bud back in my ear.

♪ I don't wanna sleep, I don't wanna dream, cause my dreams don't comfort me, the way you make me feel, waking up to you never felt so real ♪

I can feel my eyes misting but I ignore it, like always. I didn't realize I had this song on repeat until I thought I had heard it 6 or 7 times so I went to another song that I knew would make my eyes water and leaned my head against the wall and stopped thinking.

Someone kicked my leg and it was hurting like a bitch now, so I opened my eyes and took out one of my ear buds.

"Are you ok? You look like you're gunna cry." Helen looked concerned for me which surprised me so I just said what popped in my mind first.

"I'm fine." I say acting like I wasn't going to break down any second. She gives me that 'don't give me that line of crap' look and sits back on Alyssa's lap.

I realized what song I was listening to after a moment of thinking, but quickly recognized 'Wipe Your Eyes' by Maroon 5 and just listened as I let the tears fall silently from my eyes.

I quickly turned off my tablet so I could put it in my backpack before the bell rang for 5th period. And Helen, seeing the opportunity, asked me again what was wrong, and I ignored her so easily, I almost wanted to cry at that but instead walked to the door just as the bell rang and walked out of the art room and to the stairs.

I walk as quickly to my choir class as possible, and quickly regret it. Everybody notices that the usually bubbly girl is sad and they want to know why. I grab my folder, number 55, and speed walk to my chair with my hair over my eyes so it doesn't look like I've been crying. The first person to rush towards me is Mary, someone I met in 7th grade.

"Abbey, I love you." she says to try to make me smile. Didn't work. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing" I say calmly, not needing to lash out at people.

"Everything." Helen whispers as she walks by. The worst I can do is glare at her, but she doesn't care.

"Mary! Move yo butt, girl. I wanna see what's wrong with the little girl." Paiton says with a funny voice to see if I smile. I didn't give in to her attempts.

"Hey, girl. Why you sad?" my friend Chyna asks sweetly.

"I'd be even better if people stopped asking what's wrong with me." I snap at her making her flinch and glare at me for being rude to her. I don't care. If she glares at me, its not my headache later.

It was like that for a few minutes before class started. About halfway through choir, I got a note saying I needed to go to the vice principles office...immediately.

I walk kinda fast because I am nervous to know why I'm going in her office again. I get into her office and she asks questions about Luis and if I know what happened to him. If he did anything I wasn't comfortable with, if I made-out with him next to cameras or somewhere else, and stuff like that.

She finally let me go and I went to the cafeteria. Not to eat anything, but to sit next to Matt. At first I was leaning on his shoulders but sat next to him so I could sleep on his shoulder. But I couldn't do anything but sit and peek at him under my lashes because of the butterflies he gave me.

"Matt?" I ask kinda tired sounding but with a renewed energy.

"What?" he asked back, looking me in the eyes. God.....those eyes. Forget his eyes, ask him the question!

"Why are you so comfy?" WRONG QUESTION!!!! I am so stupid.

"Because I'm fat." he answered simply.

"You are not fat Matthew." I manage after my noticeably large intake of breath. "Matt, you are nowhere near fat, so don't say it again." I scold him because, really, he isn't.

Our eyes stay locked until the bell rings and we both get up to leave. I am really surprised that my legs haven't turned to jello and made me fall to the ground yet. As we walk to my next class, we keep pushing each other back and forth just because we feel like it.

"Shrimpy." Matt suddenly says to me.

"Thanks. Always picking on people shorter than you." I say jokingly and laugh at my new nickname.

"Nah, mostly just you." he said and I thought that my heart was speeding up and banging on my ribs so hard that they would crack. "This is where you go, Abbey." he said pushing me towards my classroom.

I hadn't even realized that I stopped walking until he lightly pushed me. All I could manage was a simple 'oh yeah' and he gave me a hug, laughed at my blank stare, and walked downstairs to his next class.

I walked into my classroom with a confused look on my face I was sure because Helen gave me a funny look but didn't ask any questions. I sat in my chair right before the late bell rung and I knew, right then. I just knew.

I had to ask out Matt.
