the two boys i fell in love with // m.s (2023)

Date

Matt's POV:
I slowly parked at one of my favorite places, a park I use to hang out at with my brothers. We would play soccer, football, badminton, kickball, baseball, anything really. I looked over to see Olivia asleep. She seemed so peaceful there, but I had to wake her. I gently rubbed her arm careful not to startle her. Olivia slowly opened her eyes. Once she saw me her face light up.
"Are we here?" She asked in a soft tone of voice.
"Yes, we are." She pulled her weak body out. I knew she seemed weak because of the restless nights she's had in the past week or so.

I held her hand walking in the park. Nobody was here, it was perfect. The sun was dropping peace filled the field of grass. In front of us was a pathway next the the ocean. Nobody was walking, it felt nice with just me and Olivia's presence at the lonely looking park. I took out my AirPods from my sweatpants pockets handing the right one to Olivia. Olivia's took the AirPod out of my hand smiling placing it in my ear. The first song came on.

~ training wheels by Melanie Martinez. I've heard of Melanie Martinez, because of Nick but apparently Liv also liked her music. I was playing the playlist were both me and Olivia created a couple of years ago, but only recently have we added songs. I looked over at Olivia as she started to sing along to the beautiful song that was playing in our ears.
"I love everything you do, when you call me fucking dumb for the stupid shit I do." She kept singing, and I just smiled at her beauty. The way she sang was soft something I've never heard before. Then when one part came up in the song she softly looked at me.
'It's not like I'm asking to be your wife'
At this moment I realize. I wanted this girl to be my girlfriend. I was trying to build up the courage to ask her at that moment but it was to difficult.

It hit 10pm quickly. Me and Olivia started heading out as the park soon anyways.
"Thank you for an amazing night." She says.
"Yeah, anytime ba-" shit.

Olivia's POV:
Butterflies hit my stomach, did he just almost call me babe? I chose to forget about it continuing with the night.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For the past week Matt and I became closer and closer. So have me Chris and Nick but there's something about me and Matt. I don't think we're friends because friends don't take each other on dates, or kiss one another. We aren't officially dating, so I have no idea what me are but what ever it is I'm thankful it's like this. Of course I want to be his girlfriend and move on to whatever we are at the moment, but what we are right now is fine by me.
"Hey, Liv!" Speaking of Matt I thought giggle in my own mind.
"Hey."
"Can we go somewhere." Matt tells me.
"Right now?" I asked.
"If that's possible, yes." I nod going to my side of the closet. Oh yeah that's another thing. Marylou said that it was ok if I lived here, so I share a room with Matt now. Even though I could have taken the guest room. I slipped on a simple crop top and some Lululemon leggings, black of course.

"Ready!" I call.
"Ok!" I hear Matt call back from the downstairs. I rush down there.
"Ready." I nod. I grasped my hand leading me to the side walk.
"We're walking?" I asked.
"Mhm."
"To where?"
"You'll see." I hate when he does this. I want to say he's going to ask me to be his girlfriend, because of the way he's been acting all week. But with Matt you'll never know what's next.

It's been 30 minutes of walking.
"Matt my legs hurt!" I complained.
"Shush your mouth it's worth it, just me." I roll my eyes continuing to hand on to Matt's sweaty hand.
"Your palms are sweaty as fuck, Matt."
"Then don't hold on to my hand." He looks at me.
"I didn't mean it like that." I sigh.
"We're almost at the home stretch."
"It's about god damn time." I laugh.

We made it to a nice place with a small little pond.
"Woah Matt! This is, it's so."
"Breathtaking?"
"Yes!"
"Your more breathtaking I think." Matt murmurs as quietly as possible trying to make it so I can't hear him, but I did.
"Matt I-" He interrupts me.
"You heard that?" I nod.
"I'm sorry but... listen Liv, I really like you. Not just that, I love you. I hated seeing you and your dad like that, and I'm happy you live in a house you don't have to pretend in. I've already spelt my feelings out once so I'll make this short and simple." My eyes light up. Nothing can explain how happy I was.

"Will you be my girlfriend Olivia Parker?"
