As soon as alex left matt stood there glaring at me.
"explain, bella. what is thi-"
"Its nothing matt. i swear. nothing happened."
"I know. But weve been friends since pre school, bel. And i dont want him to get hurt and go into a cycle of drugs,sex and alcohol" he poured. I could see the pain in his eyes
"ive only just met this guy. I dont have bad intentions, and god knows if ill ever see him again." i sighed. I understand that hes his best mate but ive only just met him.
"i know , i trust you. i really do. youre like a sister to me but if you could see al when he went through a tough time, i thought he were gonna die arabella. Just please, try not to get too close and break his heart. i cant bear to see him like that again."
"matthew listen , he only stayed over the night. i dont need his life story, i know hes close to you but this is a bit much. i understand your concern but everything is fine." i was getting frustrated at this point, i had done nothing wrong. "I think you should go."
he got up without a word and gathered his keys then left. i hate arguing with him but hes being dramatic. I dont want anything more than friends with alex.

I was walking down the street, 5 minutes away from my house, when i saw Alex. He was working in the bar directly opposite the record store I work at. I watched as he cleaned down a table and then he went to push is hair out his face , but, he caught me from across the road and locked eyes with me and smiled. I probably looked like a stalker, watching him clean tables from the other side of the street
