Matt Sturniolo imagines

Are you okay? ⚠️tw yelling, mental breakdowns⚠️

I woke up this morning to the sounds of doors slamming. I flinched awake. "I DON'T GIVE A SHIT! I DON'T CARE!" I heard familiar screams throughout the house. My brother was having another meltdown. It's been like this for as long as I can remember. He's always been severely mentally ill. Having my brother be my alarm clock for multiple years had a big affect on me. When I hear him banging on the walls and yelling, I am frozen, it's like I can't move. All I can think to do is call Matt. I need a distraction.

Bold= Matt
Regular= you

"Hi love, what's up?"

"Matt, can you please pick me up?"

"Sure, did you wanna do something fun or just hang?"

"Umm let's go to the library, I could use the peace and quiet."

"Why's that?"

"Never mind, don't worry about it."

"Okay, l'll be there in 10, love you."

"Love you too."

Matt's POV:
I put down the phone. She sounded shaky, I know something's up but I don't know what. I'm a little worried. I got up to change. I just put on a black hoodie with grey sweatpants and headed downstairs. "Bye guys, see ya later."
"Where are you going?" Nick asked.
"The library with y/n."
"Why the library?" Chris interjected.
"I don't actually know, she said she needed the peace and quiet."
"Why's that?" Nick replied.
"I have no clue, she didn't tell me."
"Okay, well have fun." Chris added.
I waved and walked out the door.

Y/N's POV:
I got a text from Matt, "I'm here." I ran downstairs and covered my ears, trying to block out the sound of the yelling. I ran down to Matt's car. "Hi Matty," I said with a smile.
"Hello my love." Matt replied, he leaned over and gave me a peck on the lips. We began driving to the library. "Wanna go to Starbucks on the way there?" Matt asked.
"You know me too well." I smiled. He pulled into the drive through. "Hi, can I get a grande black iced coffee, and then a grande iced white mocha with a birthday cake pop.......Yes that's it.......thank you."
"You know my order?"
"Of course I do, what kind of boyfriend would I be if I didn't?" We got our Starbucks and headed for the library. "So, are you okay?" He asked, hesitantly.
"Hm? Um, yea I'm fine." I gave a small smile.
"Okay, you would tell me if you weren't though, right?" He added. I just nodded. We got to the library and started looking around.

Matt's POV:
When we got to the library, I noticed her picking at her fingers and biting her nails and lips. I know something is wrong. She's not telling me something, I'm seriously worried. I put my book down and took her hands. "Y/n."
"Matt." She replied.
"What's going on."
"What do you mean?" She asked with a smile.
"I mean, why did you ask to hang out with me today? Why are you picking at your nails and lips? Why were you covering your ears when you came out of your house? If you're not okay, you can talk to me. Just say the word and we can go back to my house. We can talk, or sit in silence if that's what you wanna do. Just tell me if something's wrong, please." She stayed silent for a minute, then just nodded.
"Why don't we go back to the car?" She asked, I agreed and she followed me out to the car.
"It's my brother. This morning, I woke up to yelling and banging and fighting. It really threw me off. You know loud noises are like my biggest fear, and my brother having another breakdown is not helpful for that." I felt tears start to form.
"I'm just, so tired of waking up to that. And I'm tired of dealing with it. I'm tired of everything."
I began to cry. Like, fully cry. All he did was pull me in for a hug. We stayed like that, in each others arms for a long time. When we pulled apart, he put his hand on my face and caressed my cheek with his thumb. "I'm so sorry that you have to our up with that. It's not fair to you. I'm glad you called me, if you hadn't, it just would've been worse. And I want you to know that you can always call me. No matter what. I'll answer. I love you. Do you wanna go back to my house? You can sleep over if you want." I nodded and gave him a smile. "That sounds nice. Thank you, I love you more." He rested his hand on my thigh while we drove home. We immediately went up to his room and cuddled. No shower or makeup remover or anything. We just enjoyed each others company in silence. "Y/n?"
"Yes my love?"
"There's no where I'd rather be right now than in this room with you." I snuggled up closer and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"I love you, Matt." We fell asleep cuddling, it was a perfect night.
