"When you're a kid, the line between fantasy and reality tends to blur. As I grew up, I faced the fact that he was only ever gonna be a fantasy. Nothing more."

Matt.sturniolo- nooooooo stay gone for longer I'm begging ________________________________________________________________________________
I was away visiting my dad in Texas for a month. My parents split when I was 9 and my brother, Jer, was 11. We moved to Boston when I was 15, so we do these annual visits every year since then.
"Jer, you wanna go surprise the triplets?"
"YESSS I missed them so much."
"Okay, let's go then!"
We walk up to the front door and ring the doorbell. When the doorknob opens and my eyes meet Matt's, my excitement turns to a frown.
"Oh, hi Matt." I say as dry as possible.
"Hey Liviona." He never calls me by my nickname because he knows it annoys me so badly. I never liked my full name. When people read it, they never knew how to say it. They spoke it as if the syllables were made out of tin and it hurt the roof of their mouths to say it. Liv is much simpler, softer, and much more me. Or at least, the me that I want to be.
"Matty!" Jer says with open arms.
"Hey Jer Bear!" Matt replies with a hug. I shove Matt aside and run for Nick's room. I push his door open and jump onto his bed.
"NICKYYY!!" I yelled, attacking him with a hug.
"AAAAAH!" Nick screamed as his eyes adjusted to light away from his phone.
"Holy fucking shit Liv, you scared me!" He said, hugging me back.
"I missed you too." I say, pulling away.
"I love you, but I need to say hi to Christopher." I say as I get up and run to chris's room. Just as I did with Nick, I bust my way through the door and start attacking him with a hug.
"CHRISTOPHER!!!"
"LIVVY!" Chris huged my back with a little screech in his voice.
"I'M CALLING A FAMILY MEETING, EVERYONE TO THE LIVING ROOM" Chris yelled as I laughed.
When we all met up in the living room, Matt's face was filled with dread, Nick's eye's shiny with excitement, and Chris's smiled beaming from ear to ear.
"Livvy, how was the trip, tell all the details." Chris started.
"It was a lot of fun, I got to see my old friends like usual......" I rambled on about my experience. I look up to see Matt making eye contact, looking invested like he's listening. I don't think I've ever seen someone listening to my rambles as intently as him. That was the thing I loved about Matt; no matter how much it seemed like he hated me, I never felt unheard by him. Even when he argued with me or disagreed, he always was at least listening to what I was saying.
"That sounds so fun." Nick reacted.
"We need celebratory McDonalds ASAP" Chris said. I giggled at that.
"Of course, Matt, you're driving." I said with a smile.
"Of course I am" He rolled his eyes.
A/N: HI GUYS! I know you probably thought I disappeared, but I have not. I've been dealing with midterms lately and I haven't had time or been in the mood to write. But, I really am excited for this one, I've always wanted to write an enemies to lovers. I know this first chapter is short, but stick with it, they'll get more content full. I love you all and I hope you keep reading!!!
